The masses have awoken. The public outcry over the French movie "Cuties" being released has lead to the phrase "Cancel Netflix" becoming the #1 trending Twitter topic today.

I haven't seen the movie so I cannot say very much about it, but I for one feel this is another sign that people are waking up. A decade or two ago, I would rage against this kind of stuff, and most people would act like I was crazy.
Again, I havent seen the movie, but it apparently aims to expose sexualization of children by society while in-fact pandering to it, showing blatantly inappropriate footage throughout of scantily-clad children provocatively dancing.
I am conflicted, but I might try to find a way to watch it without financially supporting it. If I do, I will provide a more thororough review. In any case, I think this is a sign that many people are being woken from their deep slumber of ignorance and disbelief.

Netflix probably views this as acceptable loss, or the cost of doing business. I doubt all of their income, leverage, or securities, is 100% based on subscription. Like Twitter trying as hard as they can to dump half their users, spending an enormous amount of money to do so. These companies are backed to hell from sources other than the market.

Income is only secondary for media companies. The primary goal is programming.
