Email Executives at Netflix

Netflix has become a staple of at-home entertainment with over 150 million users subscribing to Netflix across the globe. While the streaming platform provides hours of entertainment with both existing and original programming, a Netflix subscription also includes sexually graphic and degrading content. 

Now, with the hosting of the French film 'Cuties', Netflix yet again adds to it's reputation for hosting sexually exploitative content. 

Not only does the film feed into the hypersexualization of children, but it also promotes harmful racist stereotypes often imposed upon girls and women of color. 

By depicting these issues so carelessly and in the name of empowerment, it decreases the likelihood that viewers will thoughtfully analyze the harms of sexual exploitation and the roles racism plays. It would be easy for Netflix to portray the harms of sexualization of children and racism without simultaneously “profiting” from them.

Netflix has apologized for the cover image for 'Cuties' and changed the inappropriate photo of 11-year old girls, but they do not plan to stop hosting the film altogether.
