Shout-out to U.S. Politicians for managing to be not-terrible for at least 2 minutes??? I'm in shock. Also shout-out to Vessi for sponsoring this video (couldn't have made the donation at the end without them) vessi.com/dangelo ((use code "dangelo" for $25 off while you're there))
What's worse is that their parents allowed this. These girls are not old enough sign their contracts. Their parents or guardian allowed this. Just disgusting.
What's also disturbing is that the dance scene near the end has a SEA of extras in the audience. I don't understand how they also didn't see what was wrong 😕
Megan Fox straight up telling people how she was treated at age 15 and the crowd laughing in agreement with the phrase "Well that's how we all work we just repress it so haha" makes me want to cry.
@what me!? thanks for your input, and I hope it was coming from a place of good intentions. But I wasn't expecting chuckles from anyone, I was commenting my favorite line from the video because it was a humourous way of wording the feelings that I resonate with. Have a great day!
They should go to jail. But the media should also be investigated for their handling of this incident. Anyone with common sense can see what's wrong here, but with over a month to prepare they're still all defending it. Unfortunately there are also a lot of Democrats who are willing to defend this kind of thing publicly and they cannot be allowed to take over the party.
Body positivity is being confident in your body whether you wear tight revealing clothes or you dress modestly. It’s how you feel in your own body, not your dress. So yeah I agree w/ you
When Megan Fox was trying to shed light on Michael Bay’s incredibly problematic behavior with a minor ON FILM and Jimmy Kimmel makes a punchline out of it...
I don't think you've watched the movie. The mother is understanding and very sweet. She tries hard to spare her daughter the pain caused by the father's second marriage, and she understands that the last thing her daughter needs is "punishment"
@@lapatti Exactly. The movie never shows that liberalized sexualization is better than religious conservatism by default, or vice versa. I actually thought the ending was very nuanced: even though her friend group was necessary for her to find herself and come out of her shell, they were pretty selfish (as kids are bound to be). Her mother, on the other hand, genuinely cared for her tried to help her but was often misguided. In the end, she (with the help of her mother) finally realizes that what she truly wants is to just have the room to grow and be a regular kid. It's honestly a pretty even handed take on the issue and it really sucks to see people lambasting it without watching the entire thing.
@@dananabread6632 why would you even want to watch a movie where they sexualize kids…. tbh i wouldn’t be too surprised if it did indeed have good writing and good qualities, but the only way it would have worked is if it was a book or something. they had actual live kids playing these sexualized roles so no matter how good any of the movie is it deserves the backlash.
Please Boycott the Critics that Defend this Pedophile Shit that people are rightfully mad about. Their Logic means literally nothing and they defend terrible Stuff. With the same logic as pure idiots, they proclaim that being against Child Abuse is Evil. Logic like this, i quote: "Lol, Cuties is great, you just dont get it. Cuties is great, it just 'talks' about Oversexualized children, it's not actual waht it portrays. Would a Movie about Murder be guily of Murer too, lol?" All sane People: YES IF THE MURDER IS ACTUALLY REAL AND JUST RECORDED! THAT MAKES ALL THE FUCKING DIFFERENCE! Cuties IS Child Porn and the Actors ARE Abused!"
I thought I was going crazy when I expressed the opinion that kids shouldn’t be sexually exploited in a film to get a point across, only to met by people who disagreed with me. I started questioning humanity.
It is actually disgusting. I think the idea of this movie was good: a movie about how young women/girls are sexualized. But they didn’t have TO RECORD AND EXPLOIT THOSE KIDS.
i'm so glad d'angelo made this video because so many people who didn't look into this situation might just think it's just something conservative people are making a fuss over because so many people online are making it sound like that which could not be further from the truth.
UShallKnow dude what do you mean?? D’Angelo uses the term “Maps” so that this video doesn’t get demonitzed since pedophile is a word that can get this videos ad revenue taken down. Have you not seen his recent post??
UShallKnow he’s not using MAP because he wants to, he’s using it because he’ll get demonetized if he doesn’t, and he wants to yknow, make money from his job
The small clip showing Megan Fox broke my heart. And the audience were just laughing along with the insensitive host on how the poor woman got objectified at the age of 15! I hope someday those little girls will have the chance to testify against the adult freaks who got them into this film, and expose those sick minds in the media without being afraid of anything.
They have a child psychologist on movie sets, to allow the children to express how they feel about what they were just asked to perform. The child psychologist is there so if any negative feelings arise, the child has somebody to talk to. They usually have no say in how the movie turns out, or what is done to the children, but to just provide a safe space after scenes. Not all movie sets that hire children do this, but they all should. Because actor children have to act out things they should never have to in plenty of movies and shows. So it’s actually nice to know that this set had a child psychologist.
I also thought it was disgusting upon hearing his first sentence but then he followed it up with smtg about repressing those urges so I got a little confused so idk
There’s a reason why Lolita was a novel. To paraphrase Nabokov himself, there’s no real life 12 year old girl reenacting the depraved events of the book. But once you turn that into a movie and make a young actress do those things, YOU HAVE PROBLEMS.
I know it makes people uncomfortable to hear it, but it's the left-wing and the Democratic Party which is pushing this. If you go on Twitter or anywhere you'll see a lot of Democrats defending this kind of thing, and I mean they are always left-wing. This a serious problem with the party, it's important that the pedo's not get traction, but they are. The media are defending these articles despite any sane person being against this, it's scary.
@@caletevelen2647 democrats and left wings aren't even the same lmao. and if you're turning pedophilia into a political issue you have serious issues. If that's the case what about Trump sexualizing his own daughter? court records of settlments he gave to families for raping their children? I hate how nowadays people make everything about politics to fuel their own weak politcal agenda, let's do better lmao.
@@doomiedud747 it's a pedophile trying to make cuties seem good and making fun of those who see it for what it actually is. There have been a lot of them unfortunately.
You all need to walk the walk. Cancel your Netflix subscription. You're literally financing the exploitation of children and the destruction of western civilization.
NaN girl nobody about to do that 💀 I’ve seen way worse. I actually saw the movie and it deals with real life topics and the only thing sexual was the dancing (and Amy taking a private pic)but I’ve seen worst watching dance moms💀 we all knew girls like this in middle school
Kliff doesnt mean we need to cancel anything that y’all don’t agree with neither. How is dance moms still on the air but y’all ready to cancel NETFLIX and not the creators of the actual film?
@Plausible Grouch yeah i agree, the parents are also at fault for letting it happen, cause without their permission it couldnt have, which is mind boggling to think about... i mean was it really worth the check?
Yeah guess what happened, their disgusting ass parents thought this was okay I hope they never sleep well again knowing that now a bunch of people are gonna remember these girls in a disgusting way and that a whole lot of people are now more inclined to try and exploit them sexually.
when we said we want actual teenagers in teen cliché movies and high school drama we didn't mean this netflix u can 26 yr old to play lovey-dovey characters but u cant get an adult to play such an explicit role??!!
It makes them bank, they keep it. Its just like big mouth. A hideous show in both it’s writing and animation, but the only reason why Netflix is keeping it up is because one of the producers of the show are rich as hell and pays netflix.
Is it still on netflix (just out of curiosity I’m not a pedo guys I’m a minor as well just wanna check if netflix ever released how bad of an idea this movie was)
The fact that calling Pedos what they are could be flagged is in itself disgusting. We don't call murderers "people attracted to violence towards others unto the point of death"
Twitter was confirmed to be ok with pedos and zoophiles, then Netflix was questioned to answer with a simple yes or no to pedo they literally replied with we respect others culture and religion like.... what the actual FUCK
Ehh, that’s not new. The actors of IT (part 1) weren’t old enough to watch that movie. There are usually kids in rated r movies. But this is not the right way to put a kid in a rated r movie.
Some Muslims grow up like that ,in some Muslim countries where they use the religion against women and non Arabs,making sexual assault or younger marriage not taken as seriously or immigrant workers being treated like trash and not having rights to salaries.the religion doesn’t say that but ppl who go through these countries might leave Islam.some Muslims and Muslim countries use the religion as an excuse to harm people but painting Islam as evil is not the problem😕
@@jacobportman5261 agreed. I am a muslim myself but if I imagine myself there I would probably hate my own religion even though those stuff r just traditions
@@trash0175 yeah,not all Muslims grew up in a good community and a lot of times Muslims brush off the complaints about how some Muslims communities mistreat them or spread misinformation about the Quran and sunnah as islamaphobia when not all Muslim communities use their religion the way it was intended.Muslims can call out bad communities without being islamaphibc especially when it hurts people and breaks families.people leave the religion because they were mistreated by the people harming them in the name of that religion not because their terrible people and shouldn’t be part of families.Muslims communities today aren’t that great tbh and we should be able call them out without calling the religion evil.
I’m 14 and I feel sexualised just leaving the house sometimes, this movie made me gag and I only watched one scene. I believe this movie is not only something for disgusting old men to look at but also can make other young girls believe this is okay
I’m sincerely sorry this is happening to you… it’s so fucking disgusting how much I’m learning and seeing about how people are sexualizing and fixating on literal children
also lets talk about how megan was clearly recalling a very upsetting memory for her when she was underage and how it wasnt okay and jimmy kimmel just straight up said "we all think thats okay"
As a dude I was not mentally prepared for that comment. That was so awkward yet everyone just laughed it off like it was nothing. There must be some context I’m missing.
or they could stop oversexualizing teens and making them feel pressured to have an active sex life and look perfect and sexy At All. but that's just my opinion as someone who was super fucked up by this, so. take it with a grain of salt
@@traineraude Oh God! no insult taken at all! You're absolutely right! This kind of stuff messes with a young brain as it's developing. Young children (and not just these young actors, but *all* children in this world) are exposed to an over-sexualized culture and taught to think it's ok without understanding the real ramifications it will have on them when they become adults. I'm messed as fuck from my childhood and even though I try to do better by my children... *it's out there. everywhere. every nook and every god-forsaken corner*
Isn't it the same Jimmy that showed a very sensitive footage of Joaquin Phoenix having a meltdown behind the scenes of Joker and made a joke out of it when Joaquin said he doesn't feel comfortable with it?
Exactly! I understand where the director was coming from in making the movie but there were so many scenes that just did not need to be there. Watching it made me feel very uncomfortable. It should have been made very differently if at all.
it’s like what elvis the alien said: this movie is the equivalent of someone shooting another person’s loved one in the head to show them that murder is bad (i’m paraphrasing but you get the idea)
Natalie portman wasnt old enough to watch leon either but most decent directors dont subject children to horrific or sexualised action they depict scene with cuts and camera angles
During our health unit for PE, which has stuff like mental health and healthy eating, our PE teacher said that any form of showing a minor being naked or having revealing clothing will get you arrested. I would like to mention that I live in Canada and not the US. Don't show any of that no matter what, even if you're a minor showing it to your friends or a multi-million dollar company. Anyone can get charged by it. I honestly have no idea why they thought this was a good idea. Especially if they get charged they would have to pay a lot of money.
That’s more upsetting that footage need to be burn knowing how there are sick people working behind movies makes me sick to think someone could steal or watch footage of young girls who don’t even know what they are doing or putting themselves in 🤢😐
@Hypocrite World I'm not trying to defend Netflix or anything, but what's wrong with homosexuality or sex change? I'm a genderfluid bisexual, so I'd like to know. Also, I'm pretty sure that over half of Netflix series have nothing to do with it, but then again, I barely watch Netflix.
No ! It isn't ! It's proof that you are engaging in difficult topics and should be ready to stop filming anytime the children say they are uncomfortable, but a lot of movies about issues like child abuse and dysfonctional families are staring child actors, who - is that even an unpopular opinion - should ALWAYS be followed by psychologists ! We can't just completely fire children from sets because reality is too hard to bare. I understand what you mean and indeed there was a clear issue with the people directing the picture and camera angles in this movie. But this point is not true, psychologists should be welcome on all sets and it should not be criteria for discouraging directors to talk about serious taboo issues !
@Mai A I dont need a paragraph to point out that I already answered. I said this movie was not executed the way it should have, but the initial project was perfectly fine. The fact that difficult topics involve children does not mean we should never film it.
Are you new to hearth? Kid actors in horror movies aren’t "allowed" to watch the movies either, it’s nothing new, that isn’t the main problem, the sexualization is worse than them not being allowed to watch it...
this time, i'll admit it: they should've just used the old 'adults pretending to be high schoolers' trope to make this movie socially acceptable this is not to say i condone with the sexualization/fetishization in any way shape or form of actors/actresses below or over the age of eighteen. no one has to 'pass' as the 'right' age to be ogled. exploitation should not be condoned.
Lol right??? I was still coming to terms with people being ok with teens being sexualized so often in the media....but then I saw people defend LITTLE FUCKING KIDS being sexualized and I was like?????
Nothing can make this movie even remotely acceptable. Yikes if I can type that and not feel bad for the producers that means something is horribly wrong
It makes me so frickin sick to point I want to throw up. I hate that parents would do stuff like that. Parents are supposed to help kids not make the wrong decision. I hate it so much
So there are a handful of comments saying that if a child psychologist is on set, maybe the movie shouldn't be made. i really disagree. personally I think any film with or for children should have a child psychologist because you never know what could mess a kid up. a perfect example is star wars. for return of the jedi, George Lucas consulted a child psychologist who said that unless it was unequivocally stated that Vader was Luke's father, moviegoers age 12 and under would dismiss Vader's claim to be Luke's father as a lie. that's the only reason yoda is in the movie. because kids need closure. i have a little brother, and it can be very surprising the things he holds onto. the stuff he notices and remembers from the things he watches, the stuff that affects him, isn't always the stuff i'd suspect.
I feel like you missed a few points, it’s more about the context of this movie. I agree with films having child psychologists on set with movies involving children BUT this movie directly exploits children and the director’s defense was “we had a child psychologist on set so it wasn’t wrong for us to exploit children to show how child exploitation is bad”
@@diamond6865 oh no, a child psychologist should never be an _excuse_ for the problems in a movie. This movie may have had a child psychologist but idk what they actually did since it's clear there was some issues. I missed that point in my comment. Having a child psychologist isn't a pass for a movie to have problems.
You bring up good points. But I think that the issue is that the director just HAD TO MAKE THE POINT that she had a child psychologist so now it justifies everything they do. I agree child psychologists should be definitely there but if the film is having to ANNOUNCE that “oH We HaVe ChIlD PsYcOlOgIsTs GuYs” yeah that’s red flag central right there
As someone who knows a few people related with actors, based on what I do know, it's usually a thing to have a psychiatrist on set regardless of what film it is if it's going to depict something heavy. Most of the time, it's because it can get mentally damaging to the actors to stay in the mindset of their characters (since they have to make their act feel as realistic as it can). And while I still think there are several unnecessary things made within this movie (cuties), using the "psychiatrist" excuse is like saying that drama movies should never exist if many actors would need psychiatrists after filming, it has less to do with the plot but more about the importance of having mental help in general when doing acting.
definitely an agree. like what about child actors in horror movies ? what about child actors who have to act out a scene where moderately scary things happen in otherwise lightbeat children's movie and they might have trouble regulating their emotions afterwards ? and the list goes on and on about circumstances where i think it's crucial to have custodians and a child psychologist on the set so these kids can work in as safe conditions as possible. and none of these instances are inherently exploitative. i'd rather have child psychologists on ANY set where children are present rather than in any way.. stigmatize the neutral act of them being there. rather safe than sorry because as you said, children are individuals and may have a reaction to something that didn't flag as potentially alarming to the adults around them. that being said, i also think the comments above mine are kind of arguing against a point you never made. you specified that you are talking about people who are basically saying "if a child psychologist is on set, maybe the movie shouldn't be made". you're explicitly neutral (by literally not taking a stance) about how gross it is for the director to try and argue that the movie was okay because a child psychologist was on the set. you're simply saying that you disagree with the prior statement.
One of the worst aspects of internet culture is people feeling qualified and emboldened to comment on films they haven’t watched, articles/books they haven’t read, and people they don’t know.
"I have killed this man to demonstrate to you that murder is wrong. You cannot criticise me for this since I only killed him to support my point which makes it okay but only for me."
“I have beat this puppy to death to demonstrate to you that animal abuse is wrong. You cannot criticize me because it made you uncomfortable therefore I got my point across. However if anyone does the exact same thing but without the message it is wrong.”
I kind of hate one of the excuses some people are using to defend the film is that it was made by a woman of color. As if that automatically makes it unable to be heavily criticize (for good reasons)
exactly this is like if they made a movie about animal abuse but then just actually abused the animals to make it more "realistic". we get the point there's no need for that.
That's badd and all but like Gru is the most powerful being in the Universe Hes 14 feet tall which is 3 minus tall And he runs at 1900 mph which is way faster than the average human And he outran missiles which are faster than cars And he literally paralyzed a shark Which literally means he hit him with 3.000 NEWTONs And he got hit by a bunch of missiles #gru#awesome#bye
The same people opposing Joker approve of CUTIES. My critique includes pulling NetFlix SOCKET out, dialling them up _CANCEL_ *or for some* it's a career move with Susan Rice on the board of NetFlix (actually true). I am sure Obama gets a thrill, Susans friend. Democrats are approving CUTIES only because Trump is disgusted by it. In Biden's new "confused" message he says:- *_"My name is CUTIES and I approve Biden this movie. Jill get the popcorn, lets watch because Susan Rice my pall works at NetFlix."_* (it's true Susan Rice works at NetFlix, she is on the board. Biden gets confused a lot. Also true. )

When I first saw the trailer for Cuties I was like, oh my gosh, a movie about girls my age! It didn't click to me about the true meaning of it. At first I thought it was just a simple story about a daughter growing and becoming rebellious, and that's it. But now I'm simply in shock, who would pass this as acceptable?
i’m honestly worried for these girls, regular child celebrities already have to face creeps online but i can’t even imagine how bad they’ll have it because of this movie :(
Exactly. Not to mention this movie is available in Netflix all over the world, think about the children and child trafficking. Edit: Hoping this movie doesn’t make pedos bold.
I actually think these kids are smart enough to understand what they are explained to. I wonder why people straight up assume that being young automatically makes them stupid or ignorant. Pretty sure someone talked to them about what they're doing.
That’s why so many children end up becoming addicts or have issues later on, like Drew Barrymore who became a drug addict or alcoholic at 13 years old. She spoke about how being a child actress and the environmental fucked her up
What gets me is... this could've been done with adults who happen to look like children, but it's not. They casted *actual* children for these roles and, as a result, are actively taking part in the very thing they say they're condemning, which is ultimately why the film fails to achieve its goal.
If they were like teenagers played by adults then the film could've actually said something, but nope, they went with twerking minors playing twerking minors.
But what parents actually allow their child to do this? What kind of sick person allows their child to partake in a something like this? What benefits? For the fame? For the money? What could you possibly gain from this?
A general rule of thumb is that if a kid is too young to watch their movie, they shouldn't be in it. There are some rare exceptions to this rule I imagine, but it definitely rings true in this case.
Children frequently star in horror movies or other films with heavy themes they wouldn’t be allowed to watch : but they are directed in a specific way so they don’t understand what they’re acting (for instance they’re given very little context and are told to scream and not to act as if their father just got murdered). I don’t think this would be the best way to do things here obviously but there are ways to showcase children being abused without showing the abuse but rather suggesting it and focusing on the effects
Right. And that’s why In America they use people over 18 to play minor characters. Not sure how an American company is allowed to publish this monstrosity
I'm sorry but that's a retarded rule of thumb. Kids can only be in kids movies except on rare exceptions? Why? So many amazing stories would have been weakened or never been told at all if this was an actual rule.
no, its like making a movie that includes a plot where someone is murdered and then some ACTORS portray that in a DRAMATIC FILM in the context of a story that shows that violence and death have impacted people negatively, and makes the audience feel those impacts through empathizing with the characters. its ridiculous to say that serious films made by and for adults should not portray negative or upsetting topics, this video is off base here and your comment similarly does not make sense (unless you would rather we have a world where movies only showed happy, unchallenging topics and events).
@@MayaGasterMoll it's like if in that film they actually murdered an actor. Shot him dead. Just because it's a commentary didn't mean you fucking killed someone
The way Cuties goes about condemning the sexualization of children is like saying "Domestic violence is bad" then bashing your wife to near death and going "see how bad that was?"
@Misha DiCaprio Good comment! This is why I get so caught up in his videos, that I can actually watch a 45 minute long one straight through. He’s a smart and thoughtful guy.
Netflix says that we should watch the whole movie, in order to understand the message behind it. But those dance scenes are disturbing, way too graphic for any movie containing children. The fact that those behind the movie thought it was ok while their were filming it, is even more disturbing.
Y’all, I watched the whole movie cause I thought it wasn’t gonna be bad, but they don’t only dance Inappropriately, they also say inappropriate things, and talk about having (I oop-) and crap. I agree with message I guess, but the movie was not it.
That is the point though. It is supposed to outrage you. Make you uncomfortable. It is supposed to piss you off that this is allowed and talk about it. Which it has but not the one this movie wanted. Instead of reforming the media, we are just going to burry this and pretend it didn't happen. This society is saying CP is ok to exist, as long as I get to pretend it doesn't.
UnkemptChannel These are real child actresses. They aren’t 18 year olds pretending to be 12 and lets not be naive, they are going to get a VERY particular type of attention from that and It’s scary to think about what lasting effects that will have on their psyche. Most regular people are so afraid and uncomfortable to watch it because of how grossly sexualised these children are in the film so any kind of “message” they were trying to bring across is already lost if people feel that way. There are ways of bringing the message without traumatising real children in the process, that’s COMPLETELY counterproductive and damaging
@@Aigle20350 what are you talking about. Please explain. So let's say we ignore these little girls who were forced to act in sexual ways (because they are too young to understand or consent) and let this movie rome free. Then what? Nothing good will happen, people are just going to become comfortable with casting little children to do adult things in the name of art, further normalizing it. Congrats
@@Adanmacreates It is delusional to think these kids didn't know what twerking was before this film. Ever looked at the media and what kids see? Whoever thinks that kids don't know these things and don't try to imitate such dances are lying to themselves or have never been around children. Then again I'm in Europe, where we get to discuss these things and tackle the problem. We don't really think highly of how US handles things so I guess call it cultural difference.
I’m a dancer, who is much older than some of them, and some of the things they did were pretty normal. What made it NOT normal and NOT okay was because of 1. The fact that it made to be sexual by Abby 2. Because it’s filmed and put on TV for anyone in THE WORLD to see. It’s disgusting. My dance studio does film us, but only sells it to students and parents EXCLUSIVELY, WITH PERMISSION.
Child pageants and holly wood is full of predators. Think about the moms that cant find a man and how easy it is for one of these predators to show a little interest in the mom to get the child.
It makes me sad that people think the opinions based around this movie has anything to do with politics and left-wing and right-wing. I think it comes down to basic fucking human decency and not sexually exploiting 11-year old children for money on a platform for hundreds of millions of people to see (:
They could have easily casted actors in their 20s to play teenagers and gotten their message across without making what can legally be classified as child pornography
It wouldn't have the same effect. Idk I felt like the message of the movie was to show the reality of how young girls and people fall into a depression and try to seek validation in any way. I mean girls take pics and send to ppl just to get people to give them validation
“Sexual exploitation of children is disgusting. We need to raise awareness” me: yes “We’re going to do that by sexually exploiting children in our film” me: NO
No one wants to talk about it, but this kind of thing is being pushed by Democrats. Not only is the media plastering the internet with articles trying to defend this, a significant sect of Liberals are actually in favor of this. Increasingly, the Democratic Party is becoming the party of child rape. I don't know or care what your policy views are, but we can't allow this corruption to continue, and it's not going to help to pretend it doesn't exist. We're talking about the sexual abuse of little girls here.
Calet Evelen stop spamming this comment. As D’Angelo said, the sexual exploitation of children should not be political. Anyone okay with this is disgusting in my book. People all across the isle are victims of sexual abuse and making it about Democrats vs Republicans doesn’t help anyone. You are using this issue to further your own political agenda. Please stop.
There’s no reason why they should allow a movie that literally ZOOMS into these kids genitalia! If you cannot make a point without sexualizing LITERAL children you shouldn’t make a movie! These poor actors ):
Despite what was said in the video, it's the Democrats who are supporting this. Not all or even most do, but a lot have been advocating for this film. What's worse is that the internet is covered with articles defending this. This should be a bi-partisan issue, but it's not getting fair coverage. We're talking about the sexual abuse of children here, but one of the few Liberals to speak out against this, Tulsi Gabbard, is often accused of secretly being a conservative and is being denounced by a lot of Democrats. All just for defending these little girls.
@potato I disagree with him. There's one side which is pushing this and you have to be willfully ignorant not to see it. The argument he made in his video for "both sides" was weak. Tulsi Gabbard is not loved among Democrats, and Republican accusations aren't unfounded here. Besides, what do I gain personally out of saying this? I could pretend there isn't a problem, design my comments to be non-controversial, and get lots of likes if I wanted.

that's not even true- many animal cruelty direct actions involve filming animal cruelty and putting it online to out companies that abuse animals as well as creating fictional recreations of harmful practices for shock value so that they get more people on their side in the larger society. this video was poorly researched and this comment is similarly annoying for spreading misinformation as though it is fact.
@@MayaGasterMoll How is outing companies for animal cruelty the same as committing it personally? I have seen activists silently protesting while holding iPad's and showing videos taken from the meat industries, I didn't see them skinning a rabbit live and claiming it's for educational purposes though. Your misunderstanding of my comment and the video is rather annoying indeed.
@@xaniiiiiii the film was not "committing" any horrible acts beyond depicting something that is already part of our everyday life in modern western society- they were recreating thru ACTING various damaging and inappropriate behaviors & experiences that girls actually do go through in real life - just like when animal rights ppl SHOW THE VIDEOS of this horrible shit, they are reproducing and depicting it for many ppl to see and be horrified by. and this film shows and reproduces the sexualization of young girls while forcing the audience to feel disgusted and horrified by it. its literally the same, except in one example they get real footage and show it vs. this dramatic film for adults which portrays a heavy topic and shows the damage done by society to these young characters. there is way more twerking tweens footage on dance competition videos, cheerleading competitions, tiktok, youtube, IG, etc (if you're just measuring by the minute) than there is in this movie. if you want to be mad at the existence of sexualized girls online, then be mad at that. but don't be mad at a serious dramatic film for trying to make a critique of that cultural norm you claim to be so disturbed by.
WAIT, she said she had a psychologist on set like it’s a good thing? Isn’t the fact that you thought you needed one available for 13 year olds a red flag...?
It's a good idea to have a child psychologist on sets of movies because if we're being totally real, ALL films with children are child exploitation. Just look at Honey Boy.
director: *let's exploit them and get them dance inappropriately* also director: *_i don't want them to be traumatized because of what I told them to do_* 🙄🙄🙄
... Promote murder and demonstrate real murder to show that it is wrong. A more serious note: Susan Rice is on the board of Netflix, she is involved in ideas and promotion. Susan Rice also refused to testify against Trump because of the crimes she committed in the false documentation with Obama in the Russia-gate scandal. When she _"REFUSED TO TESTIFY,"_ Trump was off the hook, because she was involved in *TREASON!* Going to Netflix was a cool move, now this CUTIES scandal comes along and exposes her adzzz quite good. No matter what politics you think, this RAT is exposed! On MSNBC she lied about Trump knowing all the time she herself was at the center of the crime!
Wow you could literally see Megan Fox die a little inside when Jimmy said that shit. Like man she came out and asked to not be seen as an object for literally 30 seconds and it was crushed immediately.
He didn't say it to me and I wasn't physically there and even I felt uncomfortable, unsettled, hurt and disgusted that that was his response to someone talking about being sexualized as a child. I can only imagine how much worse she felt. This is why Hollywood is the way it is. There are too many predators and people like Jimmy who brush off the conversation as nothing, even trying to make it seem like a normal thing.
I found him so gross in that moment. Like, dude, do you realize you just said that all men's minds want to see 15 year olds soaking wet in sexualised situations? So offensive to his gender.

What's also funny is that they make the mother the antagonist because she doesn't want her daughter sexualized.
I don't think you've watched the movie. The mother is understanding and very sweet. She tries hard to spare her daughter the pain caused by the father's second marriage, and she understands that the last thing her daughter needs is "punishment"
The Goverment literally did nothing, aye?
@@lapatti Exactly. The movie never shows that liberalized sexualization is better than religious conservatism by default, or vice versa. I actually thought the ending was very nuanced: even though her friend group was necessary for her to find herself and come out of her shell, they were pretty selfish (as kids are bound to be). Her mother, on the other hand, genuinely cared for her tried to help her but was often misguided. In the end, she (with the help of her mother) finally realizes that what she truly wants is to just have the room to grow and be a regular kid. It's honestly a pretty even handed take on the issue and it really sucks to see people lambasting it without watching the entire thing.
@@dananabread6632 why would you even want to watch a movie where they sexualize kids…. tbh i wouldn’t be too surprised if it did indeed have good writing and good qualities, but the only way it would have worked is if it was a book or something. they had actual live kids playing these sexualized roles so no matter how good any of the movie is it deserves the backlash.

Any "psychologist" who let's this happen is not worthy of that title.
They didn’t have a say in the movie, the only thing they could really do was try to help the children
Agreed
They should be called CRIMINALS
There should be a rule that if it’s even necessary to have a child psychologist on board for your movie than it’s probably not good idea.
They have a child psychologist on movie sets, to allow the children to express how they feel about what they were just asked to perform. The child psychologist is there so if any negative feelings arise, the child has somebody to talk to. They usually have no say in how the movie turns out, or what is done to the children, but to just provide a safe space after scenes. Not all movie sets that hire children do this, but they all should. Because actor children have to act out things they should never have to in plenty of movies and shows. So it’s actually nice to know that this set had a child psychologist.
Does that so called "psychologist" ever exist?
Is nobody gonna talk about how jimmy kimmel said that to meghan fox when she was clearly opening up about grown men sexualizing her as a minor ? 🤢
Hollywood for boys and girls...politicians bipartisan...rich and powerful even affluenza types. So many exploited kids.
So many cults force child marriage to adult rapists and it is legal bipartisan many states to abuse kids what is not legal not married.

You're exactly right. I'm blown away that they really tried to pass it off like the psychologist was there for the kids' "newfound stardom".
No ! It isn't ! It's proof that you are engaging in difficult topics and should be ready to stop filming anytime the children say they are uncomfortable, but a lot of movies about issues like child abuse and dysfonctional families are staring child actors, who - is that even an unpopular opinion - should ALWAYS be followed by psychologists ! We can't just completely fire children from sets because reality is too hard to bare. I understand what you mean and indeed there was a clear issue with the people directing the picture and camera angles in this movie. But this point is not true, psychologists should be welcome on all sets and it should not be criteria for discouraging directors to talk about serious taboo issues !
@Mai A I dont need a paragraph to point out that I already answered. I said this movie was not executed the way it should have, but the initial project was perfectly fine. The fact that difficult topics involve children does not mean we should never film it.

@@faiyettes it was definitely about the money. Anybody who would put their child through this doesn't deserve to be a parent.
So there are a handful of comments saying that if a child psychologist is on set, maybe the movie shouldn't be made. i really disagree.
personally I think any film with or for children should have a child psychologist because you never know what could mess a kid up. a perfect example is star wars. for return of the jedi, George Lucas consulted a child psychologist who said that unless it was unequivocally stated that Vader was Luke's father, moviegoers age 12 and under would dismiss Vader's claim to be Luke's father as a lie. that's the only reason yoda is in the movie. because kids need closure.
i have a little brother, and it can be very surprising the things he holds onto. the stuff he notices and remembers from the things he watches, the stuff that affects him, isn't always the stuff i'd suspect.
I feel like you missed a few points, it’s more about the context of this movie. I agree with films having child psychologists on set with movies involving children BUT this movie directly exploits children and the director’s defense was “we had a child psychologist on set so it wasn’t wrong for us to exploit children to show how child exploitation is bad”
@@diamond6865 oh no, a child psychologist should never be an _excuse_ for the problems in a movie. This movie may have had a child psychologist but idk what they actually did since it's clear there was some issues. I missed that point in my comment. Having a child psychologist isn't a pass for a movie to have problems.
You bring up good points. But I think that the issue is that the director just HAD TO MAKE THE POINT that she had a child psychologist so now it justifies everything they do.
I agree child psychologists should be definitely there but if the film is having to ANNOUNCE that “oH We HaVe ChIlD PsYcOlOgIsTs GuYs” yeah that’s red flag central right there
As someone who knows a few people related with actors, based on what I do know, it's usually a thing to have a psychiatrist on set regardless of what film it is if it's going to depict something heavy. Most of the time, it's because it can get mentally damaging to the actors to stay in the mindset of their characters (since they have to make their act feel as realistic as it can). And while I still think there are several unnecessary things made within this movie (cuties), using the "psychiatrist" excuse is like saying that drama movies should never exist if many actors would need psychiatrists after filming, it has less to do with the plot but more about the importance of having mental help in general when doing acting.
definitely an agree.
like what about child actors in horror movies ? what about child actors who have to act out a scene where moderately scary things happen in otherwise lightbeat children's movie and they might have trouble regulating their emotions afterwards ? and the list goes on and on about circumstances where i think it's crucial to have custodians and a child psychologist on the set so these kids can work in as safe conditions as possible. and none of these instances are inherently exploitative.
i'd rather have child psychologists on ANY set where children are present rather than in any way.. stigmatize the neutral act of them being there. rather safe than sorry because as you said, children are individuals and may have a reaction to something that didn't flag as potentially alarming to the adults around them.
that being said, i also think the comments above mine are kind of arguing against a point you never made. you specified that you are talking about people who are basically saying "if a child psychologist is on set, maybe the movie shouldn't be made". you're explicitly neutral (by literally not taking a stance) about how gross it is for the director to try and argue that the movie was okay because a child psychologist was on the set. you're simply saying that you disagree with the prior statement.
One of the worst aspects of internet culture is people feeling qualified and emboldened to comment on films they haven’t watched, articles/books they haven’t read, and people they don’t know.
Maybe people don't want to watch literal child porno?
@@e.l.studios455 Then, you must not be on TIKTOK... LMAO!!!
"I have killed this man to demonstrate to you that murder is wrong. You cannot criticise me for this since I only killed him to support my point which makes it okay but only for me."
“I have beat this puppy to death to demonstrate to you that animal abuse is wrong. You cannot criticize me because it made you uncomfortable therefore I got my point across. However if anyone does the exact same thing but without the message it is wrong.”
Kaylee Young PETA
I kind of hate one of the excuses some people are using to defend the film is that it was made by a woman of color. As if that automatically makes it unable to be heavily criticize (for good reasons)
exactly this is like if they made a movie about animal abuse but then just actually abused the animals to make it more "realistic". we get the point there's no need for that.
👏👏👏exactly
I love how the message of the movie is to not sexualise children but the movie itself directly sexualises children.

Hmm....Your religion leader married underage girl 😂
When I first saw the trailer for Cuties I was like, oh my gosh, a movie about girls my age! It didn't click to me about the true meaning of it. At first I thought it was just a simple story about a daughter growing and becoming rebellious, and that's it. But now I'm simply in shock, who would pass this as acceptable?
i’m honestly worried for these girls, regular child celebrities already have to face creeps online but i can’t even imagine how bad they’ll have it because of this movie :(
Exactly. Not to mention this movie is available in Netflix all over the world, think about the children and child trafficking. Edit: Hoping this movie doesn’t make pedos bold.
Sabia pedos are already bold 😩
I actually think these kids are smart enough to understand what they are explained to. I wonder why people straight up assume that being young automatically makes them stupid or ignorant. Pretty sure someone talked to them about what they're doing.
That’s why so many children end up becoming addicts or have issues later on, like Drew Barrymore who became a drug addict or alcoholic at 13 years old. She spoke about how being a child actress and the environmental fucked her up
Camisha Vilme Just get me out of here lol move me to the next galaxy, I’m done here
What gets me is... this could've been done with adults who happen to look like children, but it's not. They casted *actual* children for these roles and, as a result, are actively taking part in the very thing they say they're condemning, which is ultimately why the film fails to achieve its goal.
If they were like teenagers played by adults then the film could've actually said something, but nope, they went with twerking minors playing twerking minors.
the ultimate example of "You've became the very thing you've sworn to destroy"
It would have bin better to have cute dogs dressed in cute dresses/suits and dance
But what parents actually allow their child to do this? What kind of sick person allows their child to partake in a something like this?
What benefits?
For the fame?
For the money?
What could you possibly gain from this?
Still would have been weird

A general rule of thumb is that if a kid is too young to watch their movie, they shouldn't be in it. There are some rare exceptions to this rule I imagine, but it definitely rings true in this case.
Kinda like if youre too young to buy alcohol, you cant work at a place selling it 🤔
Children frequently star in horror movies or other films with heavy themes they wouldn’t be allowed to watch : but they are directed in a specific way so they don’t understand what they’re acting (for instance they’re given very little context and are told to scream and not to act as if their father just got murdered). I don’t think this would be the best way to do things here obviously but there are ways to showcase children being abused without showing the abuse but rather suggesting it and focusing on the effects
Hmm, Daphne Keen would like a word with you about Logan
Right. And that’s why In America they use people over 18 to play minor characters. Not sure how an American company is allowed to publish this monstrosity
I'm sorry but that's a retarded rule of thumb. Kids can only be in kids movies except on rare exceptions? Why? So many amazing stories would have been weakened or never been told at all if this was an actual rule.
this is literally like shooting someone and posting it to prove that murder is wrong. what the hell
no, its like making a movie that includes a plot where someone is murdered and then some ACTORS portray that in a DRAMATIC FILM in the context of a story that shows that violence and death have impacted people negatively, and makes the audience feel those impacts through empathizing with the characters.
its ridiculous to say that serious films made by and for adults should not portray negative or upsetting topics, this video is off base here and your comment similarly does not make sense (unless you would rather we have a world where movies only showed happy, unchallenging topics and events).

Netflix says that we should watch the whole movie, in order to understand the message behind it. But those dance scenes are disturbing, way too graphic for any movie containing children.
The fact that those behind the movie thought it was ok while their were filming it, is even more disturbing.
If you actually watch the movie it’s infinitely worse than what netflix described....

Directors: “This movie is about how sexualising young girls is bad!”
The movie: proceeds to sexualise real young girls
and then make an entire dramatic film about how it is emotionally damaging to those same girls. yea i think that's what movies are....
That is the point though. It is supposed to outrage you. Make you uncomfortable. It is supposed to piss you off that this is allowed and talk about it. Which it has but not the one this movie wanted. Instead of reforming the media, we are just going to burry this and pretend it didn't happen. This society is saying CP is ok to exist, as long as I get to pretend it doesn't.
UnkemptChannel These are real child actresses. They aren’t 18 year olds pretending to be 12 and lets not be naive, they are going to get a VERY particular type of attention from that and It’s scary to think about what lasting effects that will have on their psyche. Most regular people are so afraid and uncomfortable to watch it because of how grossly sexualised these children are in the film so any kind of “message” they were trying to bring across is already lost if people feel that way. There are ways of bringing the message without traumatising real children in the process, that’s COMPLETELY counterproductive and damaging
@@Aigle20350 what are you talking about. Please explain. So let's say we ignore these little girls who were forced to act in sexual ways (because they are too young to understand or consent) and let this movie rome free. Then what? Nothing good will happen, people are just going to become comfortable with casting little children to do adult things in the name of art, further normalizing it. Congrats
@@Adanmacreates It is delusional to think these kids didn't know what twerking was before this film. Ever looked at the media and what kids see? Whoever thinks that kids don't know these things and don't try to imitate such dances are lying to themselves or have never been around children. Then again I'm in Europe, where we get to discuss these things and tackle the problem. We don't really think highly of how US handles things so I guess call it cultural difference.

What's worse is that the internet is covered with articles defending this. This should be a bi-partisan issue, but it's not getting fair coverage. We're talking about the sexual abuse of children here, but one of the few Liberals to speak out against this, Tulsi Gabbard, is often accused of secretly being a conservative and is being denounced by a lot of Democrats.

@@xaniiiiiii the film was not "committing" any horrible acts beyond depicting something that is already part of our everyday life in modern western society- they were recreating thru ACTING various damaging and inappropriate behaviors & experiences that girls actually do go through in real life - just like when animal rights ppl SHOW THE VIDEOS of this horrible shit, they are reproducing and depicting it for many ppl to see and be horrified by. and this film shows and reproduces the sexualization of young girls while forcing the audience to feel disgusted and horrified by it. its literally the same, except in one example they get real footage and show it vs. this dramatic film for adults which portrays a heavy topic and shows the damage done by society to these young characters.
there is way more twerking tweens footage on dance competition videos, cheerleading competitions, tiktok, youtube, IG, etc (if you're just measuring by the minute) than there is in this movie. if you want to be mad at the existence of sexualized girls online, then be mad at that. but don't be mad at a serious dramatic film for trying to make a critique of that cultural norm you claim to be so disturbed by.
