The backlash and aftermath of Netflix releasing its abhorrent movie CUTIES continues to hurt the streaming services, which is reported to have experienced a rush of cancellations.

Variety reports that research company YipitData found that Netflix's domestic cancellation rate jumped nearly eight times higher than its average rate in August 2020 only two days after the streamer released the controversial movie.

The company began experiencing cancellations on September 10, the day after the movie was released. It was at this time that #CancelNetflix started trending on Twitter as well.

On September 12, the cancellation rates hit a high, and social media backlash continues today with more cancellations every minute...

When the coronavirus pandemic started in the US back in March, the streaming giant added nearly 26 million new subscribers worldwide. In June, the company reported it had 193 million subscribers worldwide.

Movieguide® previously reported that CUTIES caused an uproar over the artwork Netflix released for the movie, which showed the movie's young female characters dressed provocatively.

Netflix swiftly apologized for the controversial poster, but refused to acknowledge the problematic content and left the movie on their docket to be released.

Movieguide®'s review of the movie states, "CUTIES is a repulsive, tasteless, mediocre movie that turns underage girls into sex objects. It has a strong, very immoral pagan worldview where tween girls do whatever pleases them, including sneaking into places, not telling their parents where they are or what they're doing, and similar acts of rebellion."

The content in the movie verges on pornographic.

With the backlash of the movie growing every day, Movieguide® is doing all we can to fight against content that grooms children to be abused.

For nearly 40 years, Movieguide® has been influencing Hollywood to transform the content they create. (Excerpt from Movieguide. Article by Allyson Vannatta)

STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL CALL FOR REMOVAL OF "CUTIES":

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost called for the removal of the film "Cuties" from Netflix, joining a growing list of attorney generals from across the country.

"In this era where we are fighting a seemingly never-ending battle against human trafficking, this film is counterproductive–it whets the appetites of those who wish to harm our children in the most unimaginable ways," Yost said. "I vehemently opposed the continued streaming of the movie and request that it is voluntarily removed." 

Yost joined Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton [recently] requesting that Netflix remove the film.

Yost wrote a letter to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings.

"This film contains the gratuitous exposure of a young girl's breast," Yost wrote in the letter. "Repeated images of eleven-year old children gyrating, 'twerking,' and simulating sex in tight, skimpy clothes simply serves as fodder for those with criminal imaginations, serving to normalize the view that children are sexual beings."

The attorney general said the release of the film is "counterproductive" to the "seemingly never-ending battle against human trafficking." (Excerpt from WHIOTV7.) Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
