France. It figures.
A Texas grand jury has indicted streaming giant Netflix on child pornography charges.
The indictment accuses Netflix and its top executives of “promotion of lewd visual material depicting [a] child” with regard to the controversial French film “Cuties.”
State Rep. Matt Schaefer, Tyler Republican, posted a copy of the first page of the Tyler County grand jury’s finding on his Twitter page.

According to the indictment, which was handed down Sept. 23 but only revealed Tuesday, Netflix did “knowingly promote visual material which depicts the lewd exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a clothed or partially clothed child who was younger than 18 years of age at the time.”
The indictment goes on to note, relevant to the legal definitions of pornography, that the visual material in “Cuties” appeals to the prurient interest in sex, and has no serious, literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”
“Cuties,” which won a prize at the prestigious Sundance Film Festival in February, was put online to stream into America’s homes by Netflix on Sept. 9.
A prize at Sundance. How nice.
Netflix is comfortable with this. Plenty of people will defend it. This is where our culture is at. https://t.co/UlqEmXALmd

This is no “documentary” as Netflix claims. It’s an advertisement. It’s blatant hypersexualization of young adolescent girls.
These kids twerk, put their hands on their crotch, shake their asses, and engage in suggestive poses. This display of adult strip joint dancing was performed in front of adults.
Who the fuck taught them how to do that? The parents who authorized their kids to participate in this kiddie porn should be indicted as well. In France, this is considered Avant-Garde. It’s a film for pedophiles.
If you had that kind of shit on your computer, you’re going to jail, but if it’s on Netflix, it’s art???
