Netflix accused of hypersexualizing children

Ok so the Netflix Cuties movie.

I did some research and the director is a French Senegalese Black woman who is pulls from her own experiences as an immigrant and comments on the hyper-sexualization of preadolescent girls.

But look at the original poster vs the Netflix one pic.twitter.com/JVbaa5iueG

A visual very different from that used at this very moment in France, where the film has just been released in theaters, and where we see the same young girls walking in the street throwing confetti. And which has earned Netflix to be criticized for promoting pedophilia.

“We are deeply sorry for the inappropriate visual we have used for Mignonne / Cuties,” the platform said on social media. “It was neither good nor representative of this French film awarded at the Sundance festival. We have changed the poster and description ”of the work, Netflix added.

“Mignonnes”, director Maïmouna Doucouré’s first feature film, portrays an eleven-year-old Parisian girl, torn between the rules of a polygamous Senegalese family and the tyranny of social networks. Besides Sundance, this film was awarded in Berlin.
