    Netflix's 'Cuties' faces backlash for normalizing pedophilia, promoting Islamophobia (OP)




    The movie has won Sundance Festival award earlier this year.
    Due to the backlash, Netflix has apologized and removed the artwork, but has not cancelled the movie. It will be released on September 9th as scheduled.

    Petition to cancel the movie : https://www.change.org/p/parents-of-...8-f19e09892355

    Another petition : https://www.change.org/p/netflix-i-w...d-b9ec6cba1ce6

    Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe. (6)
    Allah has set a seal upon their hearts and upon their hearing, and over their vision is a veil. And for them is a great punishment. (7)
    And of the people are some who say, "We believe in Allah and the Last Day," but they are not believers. (8)
    They [think to] deceive Allah and those who believe, but they deceive not except themselves and perceive [it] not. (9)
    In their hearts is disease, so Allah has increased their disease; and for them is a painful punishment because they [habitually] used to lie. (10)
    And when it is said to them, "Do not cause corruption on the earth," they say, "We are but reformers." (11)
    Unquestionably, it is they who are the corrupters, but they perceive [it] not. (12)
    And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not. (13)
    And when they meet those who believe, they say, "We believe"; but when they are alone with their evil ones, they say, "Indeed, we are with you; we were only mockers." (14)
    [But] Allah mocks them and prolongs them in their transgression [while] they wander blindly. (15)
    Those are the ones who have purchased error [in exchange] for guidance, so their transaction has brought no profit, nor were they guided. (Al Baqarah 6-16)

    She does seem lost. May Allah forgive and guide her and everyone who is lost.
    Certainly it's challenging to practice Islam in this world, but that is true not only in our time, all Prophets and Messengers peace be upon them and those who follow them went through hard times as well.

    Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not. Al Baqarah 216

    Or do you think that you will enter Paradise while such [trial] has not yet come to you as came to those who passed on before you?
    They were touched by poverty and hardship and were shaken until [even their] messenger and those who believed with him said,"When is the help of Allah ?" Unquestionably, the help of Allah is near. Al Baqarah 214

    Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast? And We removed from you your burden, Which had weighed upon your back And raised high for you your repute.
    For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
    And to your Lord direct [your] longing. Ash-Sharh

    Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The Fire is surrounded by all kinds of desires and passions, while Jannah is surrounded by all kinds of disliked undesirable things." Sahih al Bukhari

    'A'isha reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is nothing (in the form of trouble) that comes to a believer even if it is the pricking of a thorn that there is decreed for him by Allah good or his sins are obliterated. Sahih Muslim

    Re: Netflix's 'Cuties' faces backlash for normalizing pedophilia, promoting Islamopho

    Feminism has lost its cause.. Everything is being done in the name of 'exploring ones feminity'. I dont know what's wrong with the west. They have mutilated the concept of equality with over-sexualisation of females and made them to believe that this is freedom/equality and anti patriarchy.
    I dont blame many muslim women to dislike the patriarchal culture of their homeland. But we need to understand the difference between social norms, traditions and religion and islam. The thin line is blurred by these feminist propaganda who have distorted the freedom given to women by Islam.
    If a girl wants to wear short clothes she can.. As long as it is not before namehram men etc.

    Iam a feminist myself, but it pains me to see how the true sense of feminism is undermined by these movies and portrayal of girls and women at large.
    I see in Pakistan cases of women being burned for not bringing enough dowry, getting acid thrown, getting married to thr quran so that the family won't have to give them their rightful share in inheritance or women becoming the sacrificial animal to absolve the male of their families of the crimes they have done.. Uneducated mullahs and muslim men defend it through fabricated islamic laws etc, and as a result women start to hate islam..


    The same is the case shown in the movie(i think). She must hve been oppressed under the name of rligion so much that she ran away from it.. We need to teach our children the essence of islam, away from the patriarchal culture.

    The degenerate ruling elites are becoming more and more brazen.

    Evil in plain sight

    Netherflix promises to do a better job of hiding the pedo in the future:

    Netflix apologized on Thursday for a movie poster it released depicting several pre-teen girls in sexually suggestive poses, claiming the promotion was not "representative" of the film.

    The movie streaming movie platform received significant backlash on social mediaTuesday and Wednesday – after copies of the poster circulated. In it, four young girls are shown in crop tops and boy shorts. One girl is bending over, while another is squatting with her legs spread.

    In a statement, Netflix said it was "deeply sorry" for the "inappropriate artwork" it used to promote the movie, a French film that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. "It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film," Netflix said. "We’ve now updated the pictures and description."

    The company, on its streaming service, originally described the film as one in which the protagonist, 11-year-old Amy, "becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew."

    Twerking is a form of highly sexualized dancing originally popularized in the 1980s.

    In the revised description, Netflix states that Amy in the film "starts to rebel against her conservative family's traditions when she becomes fascinated with a free-spirited dance crew."
    Oh, great, so the pictures and the description have been updated. That changes everything! Carry on, gentlemen....

    Meanwhile, over at the Hellmouth, Devil Mouse executives expressed their fiendish amusement at the clumsiness of the new guys. "You don't rub all that overt pedo-propaganda right in their faces," said Maury Baalstein, Executive Vice-President of Surreptitious Sexuality. "The whole point is to slide it all right past the parents, so they don't even realize what you're doing or how you're warping their children's minds."

    "Look at Monsters Inc," added David Belphegorian, Senior Assistant Executive Vice-President of Rituals and Programming. "Pixar put out a whole freaking movie series about abusing children and everyone thinks it's just a cute, furry inversion of the monster-under-the-bed theme. That's not going to fly if you show the little kids being felt up by creepy adults or chained upside-down in a pentagram being sacrificed to Our Infernal Master right on the movie poster!"

    Cuties: Netflix indicted by US grand jury over controversial film


    Streaming giant Netflix has been indicted by a grand jury in the US for allegedly promoting “lewd visual material” in a controversial film.

    Netflix has been indicted by a grand jury in the US for allegedly promoting “lewd visual material” of a child in connection to the release of the controversial French film Cuties.

    The movie has faced a major backlash online, with many saying it’s basically an incognito child porn film targeting paedophiles.

    The hashtag #CancelNetflix was trending last month shortly after the film’s release on the streaming service.

    Cuties focuses on a young Senegalese girl who joins a French hip-hop dance troupe.

    It’s supposed to be a coming-of-age dramedy, based loosely on the experiences of writer and director Maïmouna Doucouré.

    The film premiered at Sundance film festival where it was then acquired by Netflix earlier this year.

    However, the film has now landed the streaming giant in hot water.

    A grand jury in Tyler County, Texas returned the indictment against the streaming giant on September 23, it was revealed overnight.

    Al-hamdillah I am single, not married and do not have children Phew! That is a burden off my shoulder...that being said...the responsibility of protecting the children from all of this goes on the mother. She have to make sure the children are raised correctly, she have to make sure they are taught proper Islamic teaching.
