If you need any proof that "critics" are nothing but paid stooges, look no further. I can't believe anyone would watch this adolescent smut and recommend it to others. Thankfully, it seems that thousands of unpaid film lovers (read: real people) have risen to the challenge of watching this filth and gave it a proper score.

A lot of the people who defend this film talk about depth and allegory and satire and nuance or whatever bullshit flies these days. No. This film is a vehicle for child pornography, and if you don't do something about it or make your voice heard, then you're part of the problem. CANCEL YOUR NETFLIX ACCOUNT.
Poe's Law comes to mind: without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied. So essentially, the director's intent is irrelevant; if you're producing child pornography, that's all it's ever going to be.
Here's some fabulous video essay takedowns:
Netflix's Cuties has gone too far
Netflix's Movie 'Cuties' Is WORSE Than We Thought.. Wow
'Cuties' Movie: Deconstructing The Culture
I got the sense this might be a bit, and that last link definitely confirmed it. Plus look at OPs history.
When a broken clock is right twice a day, you gotta tell the time. All hands on deck!
Our queen Tulsi Gabbard has clearly watched the film too: @netflix child porn "Cuties" will certainly whet the appetite of pedophiles & help fuel the child sex trafficking trade. 1 in 4 victims of trafficking are children. It happened to my friend's 13 year old daughter. Netflix, you are now complicit. #CancelNetflix
I don't have Netflix, I don't want Netflix, I pirate all media. But this pedophile shit is becoming some weird sublimation of powerlessness within society. It's the only issue that most people can agree on except when conservatives ignore their pedophiles.
I take issue with the assertion that canceling Netflix will stop the normalization of pedophilia. It's already normalized if you haven't been paying attention. The people who run the world have a significant amount of pedos. There have been way more movies about kids having sex than Cuties and way more graphic. This kind of sudden outrage just feels stilted and like some culture-war flavor of the month. Because nothing has ever been done for real about things that aren't just movies, and that sucks. So guys we cancel Netflix, we cancel pedophiles! Consumer choices to defeat evil! Meanwhile the President raped a 13 year old and will likely get a second term. But at least Netflix will know not to make a movie.
GET OFF THE INTERNET. STOP GETTING YOUR WORLDVIEW FROM WUBBY AND OTHER CONTENT COP YOUTUBERS. NOBODY CARES WHAT H3 HAS TO SAY ABOUT CUTIES. FUCK OFF WITH THIS ZOOMER BRAINED REACTIONARY SHIT. FOCUS ON MATERIALISM.
Yeah, as others pointed out, this was definitely a bit, just found it weird that leftists were appropriating fascist language. I thought people would catch on more with the wink wink at Poe's Law, but this is a pretty delicate issue. I meant no harm.
Reactionaries are rarely cultured. They'd think you're talking about an assault rifle.
