Father, we ask that You guide us each with wisdom in how to take a stand against this evil. We ask that people would speak up and out about this show and the sexualization of children.

The backlash and aftermath of Netflix releasing its abhorrent movie CUTIES continues to hurt the streaming services, which is reported to have experienced a rush of cancellations.

Variety reports that research company YipitData found that Netflix’s domestic cancellation rate jumped nearly eight times higher than its average rate in August 2020 only two days after the streamer released the controversial movie.

The company began experiencing cancellations on September 10, the day after the movie was released. It was at this time that #CancelNetflix started trending on Twitter as well.

On September 12, the cancellation rates hit a high, and social media backlash continues today with more cancellations every minute. . . .

When the coronavirus pandemic started in the U.S. back in March, the streaming giant added nearly 26 million new subscribers worldwide. In June, the company reported it had 193 million subscribers worldwide.

Movieguide® previously reported that CUTIES caused an uproar over the artwork Netflix released for the movie, which showed the movie’s young female characters dressed provocatively.

Netflix swiftly apologized for the controversial poster, but refused to acknowledge the problematic content and left the movie on their docket to be released.

Movieguide®’s review of the movie states, “CUTIES is a repulsive, tasteless, mediocre movie that turns underage girls into sex objects. It has a strong, very immoral pagan worldview where tween girls do whatever pleases them, including sneaking into places, not telling their parents where they are or what they’re doing, and similar acts of rebellion.”

The content in the movie verges on pornographic.

With the backlash of the movie growing every day, Movieguide® is doing all we can to fight against content that grooms children to be abused.

For nearly 40 years, Movieguide® has been influencing Hollywood to transform the content they create. (Excerpt from Movieguide. Article by Allyson Vannatta. Photo Credit: Unsplash.)

STATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL CALL FOR REMOVAL OF “CUTIES”:

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost called for the removal of the film “Cuties” from Netflix, joining a growing list of attorney generals from across the country.

“In this era where we are fighting a seemingly never-ending battle against human trafficking, this film is counterproductive – it whets the appetites of those who wish to harm our children in the most unimaginable ways,” Yost said. “I vehemently opposed the continued streaming of the movie and request that it is voluntarily removed.” . . .

Yost joined Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton today requesting that Netflix remove the film.

Yost wrote a letter to Netflix CEO Reed Hastings.

“This film contains the gratuitous exposure of a young girl’s breast,” Yost wrote in the letter. “Repeated images of eleven-year old children gyrating, “twerking,” and simulating sex in tight, skimpy clothes simply serves as fodder for those with criminal imaginations, serving to normalize the view that children are sexual beings.”

The attorney general said the release of the film is “counterproductive” to the “seemingly never-ending battle against human trafficking.” (Excerpt from WHIOTV7.)

Did you cancel your Netflix subscription? Are you surprised there have so many cancellations?

I will never subscribe to Netflix again after they took children and sexualized them. I hope your growing base of pedophiles is worth it to you Netflix. You should be cancelled.

Heavenly Father, You hear our collective cry for the tide of evil to be turned in our homes and nation. Would you pierce the hearts of those in positions of power who can call for this movie to be removed? Thank you for the Attorney Generals in some states who are calling for this movie to be recalled. Would You add to their number? Would You cause more Christians to cancel their subscriptions? I pray for Christians to care more for time in Your Word and in prayer than time spent being entertained. Would You bring revival and decency to our land? Thank You for hearing our cry. Thank You for answering any request that is according to Your will. In Jesus name, Amen

I left Netflix last year I believe. Their movies are not for me. I’m a Christian and I was totally disgusted with what they did with the Anne of Green Gables book/movie. They revamped it and twisted it, part 2, to push for the lesbian LGBQT agenda normaling what the bible is clear about. Homsexual sex is an abomination to the Lord. The land that practices it vomits its inhabitants up. These are h arsh words. But created standards for everything and especially sex which is how human beings are made.

Netflx is part of this sick twisted fallen world. I refuse to have it in my house. I signed the petition thou, because I saw the movie clips on Laura Ingraham. Revolting. I heard the Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi made light of it and made comments that were supportive. Check that out thou. If it’s true, they are reprobates just as the producer of this film is.

    The obamanation’s have a part In netflix. I think netflix gave them money in the past. So they are equally a part of the garbage. Think about it. Obamanation said he was going to fundaMentally change America. Look at how the world has changed since his lawless administration. Obamanation bathroom law, BOYS GO INTO GIRLS BATHROOM 🤔, why would a President want that??? Diabolical. He reversed Don’t ask don’t tell (DADT) a law set by the Clinton administration, he put provisions for lbgtq lmnop lifestyles in the so called obamanation care, he signed the same sex law totally against God’s law. Besides the supreme court has no right to make laws on interpret, but he gave them carte blanch authority. The deep state to harass a duly elected President.

      He is Satan’s child…his fruit bare it up. Judgement day is coming. I pity his soul. I heard much rumors about him. Dont know what to believe, but I saw with my own eyes as he spit on Bible believing Christians over and over and over and much more. He probably was in my 61 years of life, the worst president we ever had and the most ungodly and of course he said he was “christian”. Yes right. God will not be mocked. The whole enterntainment industry, Democratic party and most of D.C. are controlled by Satan.

I have never had Netflix and never wanted it. With the release of the CUTIES movie, and so many cancellations, I am encouraged that the moral compass of many Americans has not slipped away, but is growing stronger with each passing day! I am praying for the Holy Spirit to move through America and do mighty works! May all these innocent children be surrounded by the Lord’s angels and keep them safe and bring those in harm’s way back to their parents!

In Jesus name,
Amen

This is a call to America to repent for turning away from evil instead of standing up against it. Look how the envelope of darkness has been pushed to unthinkable extremes. This is due to the slumber of the church. As God’s people we must honor God above comfort and entertainment. I believe God is using this to coincide with His Hebrew Feasts to awaken His church. Lord Jesus, empower your American church to repent and return to you that our calling as a nation would be fulfilled—to be your beacon of the Gospel to the Nations!!! Please return to us seven fold what the enemy has stolen!! I’m the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

I cancelled my Netflix and posted condemnation of this movie and sexualizing children on my Facebook page. As an adult survivor of childhood molestation and rape (age 5-8) by a neighbor where I was forced to watch porn, molestation by my 5th grade teacher at age 9, and molestation by my boss at age 14–I am strongly against any sexploitation of children and teens in film. There was no question pornography addiction played a role in these men molesting me. With 1/3 women experiencing rape/molestation as children, we have to do whatever we can to take a stand and pray against pornography and child sexploitation in any form! In Jesus’ name, amen!

We left Netflix a while ago over another objectionable movie they ran.
Boycott and loss of money is all that will get Netflix’s attention. I could not believe
the head of Netflix was married with children! Where is his wife in
this? She needs to straighten out her husband! Doubt she would like her
daughters acting out in a nasty picture like “Cutties”!

    I don’t think they care Connie. To be honest, the world is filled with reprobate parents. Sad to say. Those little girls in Cuties had parents. They are reprobates for selling their children into a disgusting movie such as that. The children are the victims of reprobate parents, movie director/producer and Netflix and all those who support this and the perverts who watch these kinds of movies. Let’s not leave out these little ones roll models…Cardi B, Beyonce, and all the rest that teach little girls it’s ok to act like a protitute, dress like one and sell yourself for money. These adults have no morals. They are Godless people. I pity them. They are dead in their trespasses and have no sense of right or wrong. Oh wait, unless its to push their liberal agenda…that’s all they care about sad to say.

Dear Lord, thank you for we, Your Ekklesia rising up and saying NO!! Not on our Watch.!!! Lord not just Netflix but the cable networks that promote perverse sexuality in almost all their commercials. They tend to quickly sneak in same sex couples kissing or weddings, etc. When you find a decent show to watch the commercials are filthy. Lord, help our families get deprogrammed from what the enemy is trying to do. We decree more family oriented networks like Pureflix to surface without compromise as Hallmark succumbed. Thank you Lord. In Jesus Name.

    LORD, instead of watching TV, I pray that families spend way more time doing non-passive activities together. The invention of TV captured so many of Your people who used to spend time with You , and who invested quality time with friends, neighbors, and family. LORD, let this use a time of rebuilding community. May this be at season Your church puts an end to lukewarmness and mindless activities.
    Send Your fire, LORD. Cause us to burn with Holy Fire for You.

    Satan has over played his hand. This will backfire on him, in the mighty and loving name of Jesus, Amen!

Our family has never subscribed to Netflix. There is enough garbage on TV without it. I’m happy to know that so many people are cancelling their Netflix subscriptions and opting for family-friendly alternatives, such as Pureflix. This is definitely a step in the right direction. We all need to do whatever we can to fight back against all the evil that is taking over society these days. God is on our side.

I just canceled my subscription to Netflix this week. After hearing about the child porn I could not allow our support to continue to this company. Christians need to take a stand for good and not evil. I was so surprised that the salesman didn’t even ask me why I was canceling. I did not realize I was part of a flood of people taking a stand for our children. I am courage anyone who is still supporting them to look elsewhere for your entertainment. There are lots of other choices. I’m just grateful that our youth leader at church alerted us to what was going on. The church needs to be aware of the world and the devil’s schemes. We need to use our power of choice and support Now more than ever. Church rise up!!!

Praise God that people have expressed their outrage at this terrible, unacceptable movie by cancelling their Netflix subscriptions. There is absolutely no reason for this to be made, let alone shown for people to see. I thank God that people are rising up against this trash, and pray for an abrupt end to human trafficking, as well as all forms of pornography.I thank You, Lord, in advance for what You are about to do.

I had been trying to get my husband to cancel Netflix for years because of all of the anti-Christian content. “Cuties” finally did it and he canceled. We need to take a stand for our families and stop supporting ungodly entertainment. I am glad to see so many cancellations and hope that we see more support for clean entertainment, like Pureflix.

Heavenly Father and Lord Jesus, Thank you for exposing evil and the lies of Satan. Exposure , awareness, leads to attention and action. I pray that subscribers continue to cancel subscriptions and use their time in different pursuits and cause them to seek Your Son Jesus for salvation and a transformed life. May those at Netflix have their eyes opened as they ponder this question: IF YOU’RE LIVING A LIFE CONTRARY TO GOD’S WORD, HOW’S THAT WORKING OUT FOR YOU? It obviously doesn’t work out very well. Amen

Lord, forgive us of silence. We have watched the disintegration of our nation by standing silent as abortion, blatant fornication, adultry, Homosexuality, transgendering, pedophillia, murder, etc…has taken over our nation. Our opinions aren’t enough. Lord, show us how to protest loudly, and to push back the demonic activities that have caused this nation to fall. I know prayer is of priority to do warfare against this evil. Lord, show us all other steps we can and must take to be actively involved to stop this demonic activity. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

I chose a while ago not to subscribe to Netflix because of who was going to become a part of it. That told me a lot about what kind of movies were going to be shown. This movie only proved my point. More vile productions & ways to tear our nation apart. Keep a watchful eye on those who participate behind the scenes. If they have damaged our nation in the past & brought us harm, it says a lot about where they have been & where they want to take us in the future.

Our family never had a Netflix subscription. As Christians we have challenged the idea that we need entertainment.. We have studied the Bible and we don’t find anything about entertainment for God’s people. They are encouraged to take festive breaks from work and study and the everyday , but these were breaks that celebrated God and His goodness and He was the center. Big difference between that and entertainment. If you take up this challenge you will find that you don’t miss entertainment at all- too many other richer and more rewarding ways to spend your time!

    While I am glad that you have found strength and blessing by avoiding all forms of entertainment, be it ungodly or not, please put things into context and be careful not to lead others into thinking it is a sin to enjoy anything outside of explicit scriptures.
    There are many forms of entertainment and many “entertainers”, artists, authors , musicians , that love the Lord God with all their hearts, minds, and souls.
    Do you not think there were musicians at the wedding Jesus attended? Do you not think Jesus and His disciples would ever stop for a couple of hours, after walking and ministering all day to sit and enjoy a clean and humorous play?
    Solomon and his father David were amazing authors , Musicians ,
    And poets. The Pslams
    And other books of the Bible are indeed forms of “entertainment” themselves.
    A merry heart is like good medicine. Laughter is good for you.
    These things and entertainment must not take precedence, must not become our escape , our god, and need to be void of the sinful qualities of the world , but if the entertainment is done in a right and appropriate way, and the Lord is not personally telling you to avoid entertainment, then there is nothing sinful about it. Nor will it destroy your relationship with Him.
    God bless.

I canceled my Netflix subscription days before the announcement of Cuties release,when Netflix announced they were releasing a movie portraying Jesus Christ a a homosexual and Mary as a harlot.
Father, I pray that you will send Your Holy Spirit to speak to the hearts of your people to convict us to be faithful to live holy lives in this pivotal time,and refuse to be conformed to the ways of this world!
In Jesus name we pray!
Amen!
