#CancelNetflix is trending on Twitter because of a movie on Netflix called “Cuties” accused of sexualizing underaged children. Since Thursday, the hashtag #CancelNetflix, is still trending as No. 1 in the world on Twitter after the premiere of cuties on the 9th of September.

#CancelNetflix because sexualizing 11 year olds and having a movie about them for 18+ year olds is clearly feeding pedophilia. pic.twitter.com/nFRGfgAEvj

This controversial French film is about a young Senegalese from Paris who enrolls herself into a free-spirited dance course to get away from her dysfunctional family spawned a backlash against the service provider as it crosses the line and shows children in a sexual way.

A petition got developed on Change,org, currently having 600,000 signs, which demands customers to cancel their Netflix subscription and other such content that is exploiting the children and embracing a disturbing vibe.

Netflix is comfortable with this. Plenty of people will defend it. This is where our culture is at. pic.twitter.com/UlqEmXALmd

This criticism started in August over the Cuties poster portraying the young cast members in revealing costumes and proactive poses.

On Thursday, Parents Television Council, the conservative advocacy group reviewed the film and said that they would step up against this program which is TV-MA film and sexualizes the children.

The young actors were trained in a sexualized dance routine as per the PTC which gave them vulgar language and degrading dialogs. They were also designed and followed by revealing and inappropriate clothes.

Besides, there is a scene where a character pulls down her underwear to take a picture of her private part for online posting. And in another scene, she tries to seduce a male family member to get away with the stealing she did. A clip from the dance scene went viral being sexualized, soon after the reporter posted it at the right-wing news site, Daily Caller.

It’s past time to send the message loud & clear to entertainment corporations that if they sexually exploit children, we’re done. No business. Period.

Hundreds of thousands are pledging to cancel #Netflix. Every subscription counts. Keep going, everyone!#CancelNetflix

I warned you all last year and this year about the filth Netflix was producing to sexualize kids in their projects and about how they target kids with adult + political content. Please listen & #CancelNetflix.

We're deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties. It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which won an award at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description.

Stop defending #Cuties. Yes, the sexualization of young girls is an issue that needs to be discussed. But creating content that puts young girls in suggestive and explicit positions is terrible, no matter the context. There are so many other ways we can explore the topic.

Imagine there were grown up man and woman while they were filming #cuties and there was a director too who was telling little girls to deliver these kind of expressions.. #Netflix needs to be banned… It's disgusting

THIS is what Netflix supports.

Susan Rice, Michelle Obama and Barack Obama are all associated with Netflix in very significant ways.

Why aren’t they rushing out to denounce this?#CancelNetflix pic.twitter.com/w1d6W7v1j2

I have asked Texas Attorney General Paxton’s office to investigate the @netflix film “Cuties” for possible violations of child exploitation and child pornography laws. #CUTIES #txlege

I'm going to assume anyone trying to turn anti-pedophilia into a partisan issue IS a pedophile.

Cuties is disgusting, exploitation of kids is disgusting, and we should all be united in this.#CancelNetfix

The opposition to “Cuties” & @Netflix should be embraced by everyone.

Combatting child exploitation and sex trafficking is not a partisan issue.

The Cuties documentary on Netflix is one of the most sick and demented things that I’ve been made aware of in my life.

We have a problem in this country when that is available on a major streaming platform.

This is not partisan. #CancelNetflix

Bien ou Bien Productions produced this film and the co-producer is France 3 Cinema. Ms. Doucoure shared that she received threats after the release of its poster which she wasn’t consulted with and for this response for the video, the co-CEO called her and apologized to her, reportedly.
