Netflix recently received flak for the poster of French film ‘Cuties’, which is a teen coming-of-age comedy drama. While the makers had said that the film is meant to tackle the issue of sexualisation of young girls, its poster was accused of doing just the opposite. After receiving severe backlash for ‘pandering to paedophiles and sexualising young girls’, the OTT platform had also issued an apology. However, a viral screenshot is now inviting even more fury on social media.
The screenshot shows a user’s chat with Netflix Customer Service. During the conversation, the user had asked, “How does a movie sexualizing children get approved? Who signed off on this?”
The answer from Netflix reads, “We understand that not all stories may appeal to all our viewers, which is why we always invest in a diverse range of content from all over the world. We also provide ratings, synopses, trailer and controls to help our members make the right viewing choices for themselves and their families.”
The user then asks, “Do you support pedophilia? A simple yes or no will suffice.”
To which the customer service team replies, “We cannot really comment on that but while we believe in creative freedom, at Netflix we respect all religions and their cultures, traditions and values.”
After the screenshot was shared on Twitter, a user commented, “That’s a yes. Any d******s with an ounce of morality will say “NO to pedophilia” Even hardened criminals draw a line at that. Netflix need to be cancelled.”
Another wrote, “For @netflix pedophilia is creativity wow!”
Here’s how Tweeple reacted to the screenshot:
@netflix @NetflixIndia : are you out of your freaking mind ! #childsexualabuse #childrights https://t.co/l0UQ9E7PCZ

Seems to be a direct admission by Netflix that they regard Pedophilia to be a religion,
most likely the one with a Pedophile founder/Profit and therefore not to be criticized. https://t.co/EjqhlauEHW— Aryan Paladin 🕉 (@AryanPaladin) August 21, 2020
Do they respect Laws also? https://t.co/nAvvR1Ixz6

@netflix this is a utterly unprofessional behavior and shameful response on your part. Unless you clarify or resolve this issue, you are losing my family's subscription. Act on your standards! https://t.co/WQQew7L0uY

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
The news is important to all people because it is where we come to know new things about the world, which leads to the development of more life goals that lead to life wisdom. The news also serves as a social connection tool, as we tend to relate to those who know about and believe the things we do. With the power of an open truth-seeking mind in hand, the individual can grow wise and the collective can prosper.
