Proudly promoted by Netflix, the image featured four 11-year-old girls in skimpy outfits posing in all kinds of sexual positions. The fact that the word \u201cCuties\u201d was printed in large letters underneath the picture did not help.<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/3-SPOTM.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-212544\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/3-SPOTM.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"745\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/3-SPOTM.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/3-SPOTM-218x300.jpg 218w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>Netflix also provided a brief summary of the movie \u2026 and it sounded like the description of a cable softcore p*rn movie.<\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">\u201cAmy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family\u2019s traditions.\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>Right away, calls for the removal of this still unreleased movie garnered major support. Netflix then apologized, changed the poster, and even submitted a new description.<\/h5>\n<h5>Once the movie was released, several mass media sources immediately vehemently defended the movie stating that the poster did not properly represent it.<\/h5>\n<div id=\"attachment_213602\" style=\"width: 550px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Independent-review-of-cuties.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-213602\" class=\"wp-image-213602\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Independent-review-of-cuties.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"140\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Independent-review-of-cuties.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Independent-review-of-cuties-300x78.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Independent-review-of-cuties-768x199.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-213602\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A movie review from The Independent by some guy who really loved seeing children twerking. Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<h5>Others attempted to defend the movie by stating that it was created by a black female director as if that fact changed the actual contents of the movie. Finally, in an apparently desperate attempt to defend this movie, some particularly toxic articles found a way to make this movie a \u201cliberal\u201d vs \u201cconservative\u201d issue. However, it is not.<\/h5>\n<h5>For instance, representative Tulsi Gabbard \u2013 a Democrat \u2013 published a scathing tweet denouncing the movie, even calling the movie \u201cchild p*rn\u201d.<\/h5>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/netflix?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@netflix<\/a> child porn &quot;Cuties&quot; will certainly whet the appetite of pedophiles &amp; help fuel the child sex trafficking trade. 1 in 4 victims of trafficking are children.

I shouldn\u2019t have. Nobody should. I did it because my job is to analyze popular culture.<\/h5>\n<h5>Throughout the years, I\u2019ve watched my fair share of highly toxic and sickening movies and music videos but none of them caused me to physically cringe and recoil in horror the way<em>\u00a0Cuties<\/em> did. At some points, I\u2019ve even found myself pondering thoughts such as \u201chumanity reached a new low\u201d, \u201cwe\u2019ve strayed away from God\u201d and \u201cwhat is wrong with these people?\u201d. The fact that this thing exists, that a bunch of people actually worked on it, that it is part of \u201cpopular culture\u201d and that it is even praised by mass media is as alarming as it is mind-boggling.<\/h5>\n<h5>Because, for one, that first poster promoting the movie absolutely represented it. That\u2019s what the movie is about. The lewd dance scenes are the \u201caction scenes of the movie\u201d. The rest of the story consists of weak, flimsy \u201cmessages\u201d meant to justify the degeneracy we see on screen.<\/h5>\n<h5>But this movie is not merely about young girls dancing. It is a crescendo of increasingly explicit scenes that appear to be specifically crafted to excite pedos. At the same time, <em>Cuties<\/em> will probably be watched by young girls who might identify with and even idolize the \u201cCuties\u201d. In other words, this movie is about bridging the gap between children and \u201cchild lovers\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>With that being said, a picture is worth a thousand words. And this movie needs to be dissected because its true nature needs to be exposed. It is about normalizing the sexualization of children (elite\u2019s secret obsession) and making it part of popular culture.<\/h5>\n<h5>So here\u2019s a look at <em>Cuties<\/em>.<\/h5>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Traditions Bad<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/vigilantcitizen.com\/moviesandtv\/netflixs-cuties-is-about-normalizing-the-sexualization-of-children-and-nothing-else\/\">Continues \u2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several mass media outlets, including the Independent, rushed to defend Cuties.
