Netflix's "Cuties" - The Preteen Sexual Objectification Equivalent of "Funny Games"

[It's HK-47]

The clip I saw a few seconds of induced a feeling of Lovecraftian wrongness. It was like my brain couldn't reconcile the fact that a little girl was doing a dance intended to be sexual with the fact that kids shouldn't be sexual.

That the journalists are trying to press this as "the trailer was just intentionally provocative" is extremely telling, because it definitely wasn't just the trailer. Twitter exploded with clips from the show as soon as someone was able to see what was actually in there, and some of the clips that were hitting peoples' Twitter feeds fit the legal definition for child pornography.

I can't even upload and archive the clips on here because 1. I don't feel like being raided by a SWAT team sounds like much fun and 2. I'm absolutely positive that hosting those clips would get Null in a world of shit. It was a lie from the very start; it wasn't just a provocative poster and there weren't just "questionable" scenes in that movie. When you have 11 year-old girls taking pictures of their vaginas and experimenting with cam-whoring, it's safe to say that we've launched so far over the line that we'd need a telescope just to be able to see it anymore.

I am not a prudish person by any stretch of the imagination, but some of those clips made me want to grab the nearest Westboro Baptist Church sign and start screaming about Sodom and Gomorrah. There was no rational reason to make this and even if you try to take the incredibly flimsy excuses that I've seen some people take, the fact remains that actual children were subjected to these situations in order to make this movie.

If I took an actual child and told them to run around in skin-tight shorts and a tube top, twerking it up for the camera and groping all over themselves in an overtly sexual manner before I dragged them inside and told them to pretend to take pictures of their vagina and pretend to be a cam-whore, would I be lauded for "telling a powerful and exploratory narrative of the developmental ages of a young woman" or would I get the living shit kicked out of me for being a pedophile?

Punished Beanie Man has had enough of this filth too.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

All of this is absolutely disgusting and everybody involved from the director to the parents to the producers and Netflix deserve eternal suffering.

The crowd is shocked by their skimpy outfits and dance moves, because, again, this movie is a thoughtful commentary on the way the hypersexualization of women in media affects girls at impressionable ages.

Well, they were shocked, but based on the clips posted in the Off-Topic thread, they were smiling and nodding to the beat. So.....what's with that?

It's like if someone raped someone for a film, and then they said that it was for a film with a message of rape being bad and unethical.

Or if people produced a snuff film to spread the message that violence is bad.

Dear Maïmouna Doucouré

I was wrong for calling your movie pro pedophilia, after watching it and then reading article after article telling me that the blatant sexualisation of children in it was to teach people not to sexualize children I can only apologize. You have convinced me that I should make a movie like cuties showing the wrongs of sexualizing children. My movie will be about an 11 year old girl from a religious family that is raped repeatedly by a man claiming to make a movie to save children. We already have the 11 year old actress and I have personally filmed the rape scenes, which include the girl in skimpy outfits, makeup and show full penetration, and have a planed ending where the rapes helps her discover her sexuality. It's set to release in the sundance film festival and I know several reporters who are ready to write articles declaring how my movie is all about the evils of sexualizing and raping a child.


Sincerely Jeffery.... your local ped.... a fan.

#CancelNetflix is the number three hashtag on Twitter right now.

Pretty big backlash.

"Well, you see, we didn't tell our lead actress that there would be an actual sex scene so that she could convey the terror of being raped accurately- wait no why are you calling the cops"

Could've made it a documentary. If a topic is this serious I think wrapping it up in fiction sugar just dilutes the point. And it comes off as more weird when you think about the adults involved with shooting the film telling little girls to do this stuff.

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but the clips I've seen so far have me worried about being on a list somewhere. I'm shocked that Null's letting niggas post clips of this on the site if 4chan isn't. It's gross, exploitative, and potentially is going to put these kids in a dangerous situation.

This is what happens when fringe leftists assume that because Americans are generally ok with gay marriage the floodgates for degeneracy are open.

What's really funny is that when people on the Religious Right pointed that out, they were laughed out of the room for "muh slippery slope fallacy". Makes you think, doesn't it?

This perfectly describes my feelings right now.

True, but Nabokov wrote the screenplay for Kubrick's film. I mentioned Lolita only because that's the reliable go-to that everybody instantly recognizes, but in the book, Nabokov doesn't glorify Humbert or Dolores. If anything, he points out that Humbert, who imagines himself a clever literati is a manipulative, jealous, and petty man who needs to ply Dolores with bribes for her 'attention' due to his arrested desire for the love of 'nymphets.'

I read Lolita as Nabokov taking the piss out of the 'if it feels good, do it' Bohemian artist set.

Not to mention Nabokov was most likely taking the piss out of Shirley Temple movies at the time. The book is definitely not pro-pedophilia, in Nabokov's own words it's really not pro- or anti- anything other than an aesthetic experience. It's also not even close to Nabokov's greatest work, but that's not saying much when he was (in my opinion) the greatest writer in the second half of the twentieth century.

As for the film adaptations, I'm of the opinion that the censorship saved the Stanley Kubrick adaptation. The fact that there is little sexuality between Dolores and Humbert I think lays bare the sad, pathetic loneliness of Humbert and the brattiness and childishness of Dolores. It's still one of the weaker Kubrick movies, but again, that's not saying much. Compare that to the 1997 adaptation which is basically softcore porn for pedophiles, and if you don't believe me, check out the Youtube comments on clips from it.

"New age terrified of child sexuality."

MSM is legit trying to downplay children making themselves vulnerable to sexual predation.

Also they're supporting the premise of the film is putting children in sexual situations.

Apparently not wanting to see kids sexuallized is a right-wing thing?

how could it get null in a world of shit if the whole thing is on netflix?

I blame Stanley Kubrick (in jest) for creating a generation of foot fetishists with his close-ups on Sue Lyon's feet.

Studio censorship during production (the film had few if any cut scenes as I recall) is the only reason it saw the light of day. But the odd thing about censorship is that it forces artists to be a bit more clever about suggesting what is going on rather than just slapping the audience in the face with whatever it is the director is trying to convey. I think there was one scene where Humbert slyly suggested right to Charlotte's face that he was scheming to get her daughter and it went right over Charlotte's head.

It definitely wasn't Kubrick's best movie (IMHO: A Clockwork Orange), but its was a solid movie for as much or as little as he was allowed to do.

What the fuck it's a real article

So is this what the fuck

I mean I'm not a righty and I find the movie to be abhorrent. I think MAPs have taken over the media.

 

[Twitter Hate Mob]

There is a shortage of rope and of suitable lamp-posts. A multi billion dollar company funds and provides a platform for something that's legally child pornography and the entire media class rushes to defend it.

All of these people are sub-human. Everything about this is just enraging.

Honestly if it wasn't for the internet, pedophilla would have been legalized by now just like gayness given hollywood's complete monoply on TV. Hell I can see parents getting tossed into jail, getting fired and deplatformed for denying their children "love" and for being pedophobes.
