"Cuties": Netflix's Pedophiliac Lust

 




**This post contains several sexual references and terms. Sensitive and younger youth should exercise caution when reading.**


Hey youth,

If you've not heard of the Netflix original called "Cuties", I envy you, as well as apologize for being the one to introducing it to you. 

Before you continue reading, let's read the definition of pedophilia:

"Pedophilia: An obsession with children as sex objects. Overt acts, including taking sexual explicit photographs, molesting children, and exposing one's genitalia to children are all crimes." - Legal Dictionary 

"Pedophilia: An abnormal obsession with children as sex objects. A person who acts upon this obsession, by molesting a child, taking explicit photographs, and performing other acts specified by law, is guilty of the crime." - Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary


Now, keep that in mind, and read on.

The movie description for it on Netflix is this:

"Eleven-year-old Amy starts to rebel against her conservative family's traditions when she becomes fascinated with a free-spirited dance crew."


The movie description for it on IMDb is this:

Rating: TV-MA

"Amy, an 11-year-old girl, joins a group of dancers named "the cuties" at school, and rapidly grows aware of her burgeoning femininity - upsetting her mother and her values in the process."

This "film" follows a "twerking dance crew" of eleven year old girls. Allow me to repeat that: This film follows a twerking dance crew of eleven year old girls.  


As if that isn't bad enough, here's IMDb's content synopsis under "sex and nudity":

Labeled: Severe

"Children are watching pornography on a cell phone. Nothing is shown, little girls are huddled around a phone and talking about what is going on."

"Frequent scenes of 11 year old girls dancing lewdly where the camera pans in and zooms in on the children's buttocks and midsections."

"A scene where an 11 yr old girl dressed in a tank and panties is splashed with water and begins twerking in a frenzied kind of way. On her feet bent over, on her knees, and on her hands and knees. Camera zooms in on her buttocks as she positions on all fours and twerks."


Under "spoilers", the list of sex and nudity goes on.

"When caught with her cousin's phone, an 11-year-old girl locks herself in the bathroom, pulls down her pants, and snaps a picture of her private area before publishing it online. No nudity is actually shown."

"11 year old girls dance suggestively in front of a live adult audience. This is portrayed as being a bad thing, as the audience boos them and shakes their heads, clearly disapproving."

"An 11 year old girl finds a condom on the ground and blows it up. The little girl then puts it under her shirt to pretend it's a breast. The other girls scream and yell at her about how gross it is to touch the condom."


Under "Violence and gore", this is listed: 

Labeled: Mild

"Amy is patted on the buttocks by a boy from her class, the children in the class bawl, and then she stabs a pen in the boy's hand, but the injury is mild and no blood is shown." 

"Amy and an older schoolgirl fight, the older girls gang up on her, pull her pants down to reveal her underwear, circulate photo and, later, Amy pushes Yazmin in water and watches her struggle (until she reaches a buoy) but not helping."


Under "profanity", this is listed:

Labeled: Moderate

"A few scattered F-words, mostly used by the 11-year-olds. Some milder profanities (s**t, b**ch, whore). There's a couple instances of a slur used that invokes anger from another character, but the English subtitles don't show what it is."


This is just IMDb's reviewing.  I have read multiple reviews, articles, and seen pictures regarding to this horrendous film. 

Several articles, reviewers, and commentators have spoken of these children dancing with their fingers in their mouths, grabbing each other's buttocks to help them twerk better, the film featuring multiple crotch-shots while the girls danced, one instance of a little girl stripping in front of a fully grown man to get out of trouble, another instance of a 11-year-old girl lifting her shirt to expose her breasts, and touching themselves sexually on stage. 

This is pedophilia. And still, people have the gull to argue that this is a good film.


I want to point something else out: Amy, the main little girl that leads this movie, is a black girl with Muslim parents (her parents' religion is what the synopsis refers to when it says "upsetting her mother and her values in the process" as well as "conservative traditions").

A black, Muslim, eleven-year-old girl

May I remind you that Netflix is one of the many companies that screams the left's demand for "diversity" and "female empowerment"? And yet here they are, showing a black, Muslim, female, who is a minor, doing things no self-respecting person or respectable person would ever do. 

This is not female empowerment. This is not child empowerment. Oh yes, this is diverse, but it is diverse pedophilia. It is sexual abuse of diverse minors.

And that's all there is to it. This is pedophilia. This is sexual abuse. 

These little girls had to take and retake these scenes in front of the crew of adults who partook in making this horrendous film.
They had to learn these so-called "dances".These little girls stripped who knows how many times to get the scene "right" according to the director's preferences.
These little girls had to pose for the disgustingly sensual promo photos of this film (which I refuse to repost here as I will not partake in further exploiting these children).
These little girls had to speak words that they should never have spoken. 

And this is the introduction of their careers. 

This is what they are going to be known for. This is what they're growing up with. Their parents, who allowed them to partake in this sickening excuse for sexual pleasure with minors (which is, need I say it again, pedophilia), have destroyed their innocence, have robbed them of a part of their childhood they can never have again, and that's not to mention the things we aren't seeing. 

These little girls are going to grow up in Hollywood, which was already bad enough, with this being what leads their careers. How likely is it that these precious children are going to be put into more sickening roles like these? Very. 

And it does not matter if these children were "aware of what they were doing" or not. It does not matter if these children "consented" to this or not. It does not matter if the audience in the film was once depicted as disapproving. It wouldn't even matter if the movie truly was attempting to show how awful the things that it shows are. All that matters is this: These children were made to do and say things that they shouldn't even know about, and they are now being used to satisfy the sickening lust of pedophiles. 


To quote Liz Wheeler:

"If you encourage children to behave in sexual ways, to pose in graphic, explicit, sexual poses, and engage in sexual touching for the camera, you are a sexual predator. If you defend this movie[...] you are enabling pedophilia." 

Ms. Wheeler also went on to say...

"And no, don't pretend the quality of the film itself outweighs the controversial dancing by the young girls. No. If you enjoy watching eleven-year-olds twerk, you are a creep. If you taught eleven-year-olds to touch themselves on camera, you are abominable. If you defend Netflix airing this child pornography,  you are enabling abuse."


This is it. Netflix has crossed one too many lines. First their repulsively disrespectful Christmas special depicting Jesus Christ as gay among other things, their sickening support of abortion, and now their promotion of pedophilia through sexually exploiting children for millions of people to watch. 


If you have a subscription to Netflix, I urge you to cancel it. If your parents have one, I implore you to convince them to cancel it. It doesn't matter how many of your favorite shows are on Netflix and it doesn't matter how badly other streaming services suck. Enough is enough. At the end of the day, which is more important; your entertainment, or standing up for children who will continue to be exploited for this world's sick intentions? 


Last thought: How can we say #SaveOurChildren from human trafficking if we aren't even protecting the children who aren't being stolen from us from being publicly exploited for the pleasure of pedophiles? 

The fight for protection of the innocent is taking place in your own backyard. Yes, it's taking place in warehouses and on airplanes and in basements, and those fights must not be forgotten. But we must remember not to neglect the children right in front of us as we go out to save those locked away.



Pray for these girls, pray for your fellow youth, and take action to defend them whenever the opportunity arises.

Why I Stopped Going to Youth Group (and Why I Started WTY)

  Welcome back to WTY! I mention the basics of why I started WTY in my Qs&As tab, but what I didn't go into was why I'm so passionate about this. And youth group has a very big part in that. For my non-Christian readers, you may be wondering "what's a youth group"? A youth group is basically all of the youth of a church (ages vary, but mine is 13-18 year olds) gathering on a day (mine is Sundays) and playing and hanging out at the church with a lesson from the youth pastor (a pastor who specializes in corralling teenagers, basically). The first part of this post is why I stopped going. The next half will be how it relates to WTY. The youth pastor was always changing My church went through three youth pastors throughout my time at youth group. Each time you got to know one, began to trust them, began to feel comfortable enough to be honest and open up like you're supposed to be able to do,   they would leave and you'd have to restart the process. It was

Gina Carano Gets Canceled - and Gets a New Partnership

  Hey youth!  I imagine you likely know about the Disney+ show, The Mandalorian . And if you do, you likely also know one of the star characters; Cara Dune.  Cara Dune is the strong, independent, cliche-breaking, feminine, leading character that women want  to see. She isn't the hourglass-practically-starved-and-very-sexualized body type, she is strong, broad, muscular, and beautiful. She is independent and she is also kind and supportive of others. She's tough without trying to be a man. She isn't cocky, arrogant, rude, and doesn't make the ridiculous "what, because I'm a woman?" or "ugh men" comments. And in general, she's just a really good character.  I was thrilled when I saw her in The Mandalorian, and I was certain that for once everyone (feminists, Liberals, Conservatives, etc.) would be happy. I was sadly mistaken.  I've been wanting to find a way to incorporate my love for this character and appreciation for the actress, Gina Ca

Voices of Youth: A Website Just Like WTY!

    YO, guys.  I found a THING.  I've been having a hard time figuring out exactly what to refer to WTY as, how to explain my goal with it, etc.  And then one day- today actually- I was bored and googled "We The Youth", wondering what would come up.  First thing I found was something about painting murals. I was like "Welp that looks cool but that's not me" and added "blog" to the search engine. And what did I find? What did I find? I found Voices of Youth, a website that is already doing what I'm trying  to do here! DUDE. Nothing new under the sun, amiright?  Like guys, it's got a thing for you to guest post. It's got a phrase that says "for the youth and by the youth"! It covers world events, social media, human rights, abuse, cultural differences, the economy , EVERYTHING, from diverse views!   Just listen to this paragraph from their FAQ's!  "Voices of Youth is a global community for young people to learn about de
