Netflix Defends Releasing “Cuties” Amid Sexulization Claims

Cuties is the latest release from Netflix. According to Netflix it is a “social commentary” about the sexualization of young girls. It depicts underage girls twerking and touching themselves highly suggestive ways. The film has received widespread condemnation.

“Cuties is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children,” a Netflix spokesperson said. “It’s an award-winning film and a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society more generally growing up — and we’d encourage anyone who cares about these important issues to watch the movie.”

The movie follows the story of a Sudanese girl trying to escape her repressive Muslim family by joining a twerking troupe.

Netflix acquired the movie earlier this year after it was well-received at the Sundance Film Festival.
