I'm glad everyone is condemning Netflix for hosting pedophilia, but let's not forget everyone that wrote, produced, filmed, or helped create Cuties, everyone at Sundance that voted for the award and every critic that gave it a positive review all support child porn #CancelNetflix pic.twitter.com/fBxjURgj3I

Does anybody else think this looks more like NonceFlix than Netflix?
And how is it “right wing” to object to the sexualisation of children? #cancelnetflix pic.twitter.com/vNsU7LaV1F

If a Movie about 11 Year Old Girls is rated “Severe” under the “Sex & Nudity” Category on IMDB, maybe it shouldn’t be a thing..
This is disgusting @netflix #CancelNetflix pic.twitter.com/Uzqk6kJIso
