Netflix Proudly Presents "Cuties," A Movie About an 11-Year-Old Girl Who... Becomes Obsessed with... Twerking... and Then... "Explores Her Femininity"
The film seems to concern a black immigrant girl who becomes "fascinated" by a Parisian "twerking crew," who also seem to be 11. This could possibly be the Elusive Unicorn of a movie that features a Muslim family getting the hypersexualizing degredation that filmmakers like to inflict on Christian families. But no, I don't think the movie would have gotten funded if this were a Muslim family. I would bet big money that it's a Christian immigrant family. Either way, of course, it's awful to promote twerking -- a highly sexualized dance which is meant to simulate a woman having sex -- in 11 year olds, or feature any 11 year olds "exploring their femininity." Netflix is now editing their descriptions of this movie. Here is the current version of the description: Doesn't sound that objectionable. It reads: Amy, 11 years old, tries to escape family dysfunction by joining a free-spirited dance clique called "Cuties," as they build self confidence through dance. But compare the new language with the original language:
Amy, 11, becomes fascinated by a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts exploring her femininity, defying her family's traditions. It's hard to read "exploring her femininity" as intending anything but "exploring her sexuality," which is pretty much a synonym. Obviously, that's where I've gotten the "fascinated by a twerking crew" and "exploring her femininity" language from. Key quote from the twerking trailer, said by an adult woman to an 11 year old child: "You're a woman now." No, she's not. Why are you claiming otherwise? Update: And now, the phony apology.
"We're deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for 'Cuties.' It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film, which premiered at Sundance. We've now updated the pictures and description," the service told Deadline in response to the backlash. The art they're apologizing for features the little girls in tight clothing striking a lot of... um, exaggerated poses that just happen to show off the sorts of things pedos would be looking for. If that art isn't representative of the film, where did it come from? Is it all just a pure photoshop? 4chan has banned pictures from this movie. I'm avoiding link that "art" myself. Zombie writes: But no, I don't think the movie would have gotten funded if this were a Muslim family. I would bet big money that it's a Christian immigrant family. More Netflix bullshit: here, thanks to Smoked Surfperch. | Recent Comments
