It sounds weird, Netflix claims that it’s meant to shed light and criticize the practice, but a lot of people seem to think they glorified it.

Seems like one of those little kid beauty parades that I have heard of. I dont think it should be a movie and pretty sure I will not watch it, but also will not cancel netflix because of it.

Who the fuck is Tulsi? Been thinking about canceling Netflix for a while. This "controversy" has nothing to do with it.
Who the fuck is Tulsi?
The Hawaiian congresswoman who stayed in the presidential primaries longer than Kamala Harris, and also, at one time (last October) polled higher.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Netflix apologized for the poster. I had an instant revulsion to it as well. Child beauty pageants and the like have always struck me as repulsive, and I’m surprised they exist.
Now - after I did a few mins of google searching it seems like the movie is critical of sexualizing children as well.
I dunno if I’d agree, I haven’t seen the movie.

Nor have I. However, that picture from the movie seems, as Jon pointed out, to titillate rather than to make a point.

Light can be shined on the problem of pedophilia and sex trafficking without dressing a bunch of 13 year old kids up like 20 year old whores.
Any man who would sit and watch a movie with a bunch of little girls dressed up like that and acting like that is doing so because he's getting off on it. The son of a bitch needs to die.
Sex trafficking and pedophilia are rampant. There's even a new push to have pedophilia accepted as a legitimate sexual preference. You can straddle the fence on most issues, that's fine - but on this one you need to pick which side you're on. If you don't believe it's a problem Google the sex offender registry in your local area. You are surrounded by them.

Apparently tech companies reported 45M child porn pics to authorities last year, which was double the year before. (And about 100k in 2008)
Law enforcement has nowhere near the resources or legal tools to deal with this.
There are a couple of bills in the works to get the FBI more resources, but the crux of the issue is encryption.
The current DOJ is not very encryption friendly. I would hate for the government to have a legal backdoor into all electronic communications.
But child porn is already a massive epidemic and very readily available.

@xenon I agree. If you want a true but skin crawl podcast, listen to "Hunting Warhead", about the taking down of one of the largest such sites on the internet (dark web). Disgusting work those guys had to do to break into and take it down.

The Hawaiian congresswoman who stayed in the presidential primaries longer than Kamala Harris, and also, at one time (last October) polled higher.
And was not allowed to speak at the Democrat Convention, even though she had delegates.

I saw another clip from this movie yesterday. The scene was an adult white male arguing with a little black girl wearing a short shorts and a cut off T shirt. Apparently the man was up to nothing wrong, just trying to get her to not do something she wanted to do but shouldnt, she got mad and decided to do something that would get him in trouble. She grabbed his cell phone from him, then ran into the bathroom and locked the door. She then proceeded to pull her shorts down, squat in the floor, and stick the phone between her legs and take a picture of her hoohah. Then she opened the door and threw his phone at him.
