Tulsi Gabbard blasted the controversial Netflix release “Cuties” Saturday, writing “@netflix child porn “Cuties” will certainly whet the appetite of pedophiles & help fuel the child sex trafficking trade. 1 in 4 victims of trafficking are children.”
She then added “It happened to my friend’s 13 year old daughter. Netflix, you are now complicit. #CancelNetflix“

The “Cuties” trailer on YouTube has only 43k thumbs up compared to 1.8 million thumbs down.
The film has a stunning 89% fresh rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes compared to a dismal 3% audience rating.
According to Variety, Netflix is defending the movie and said in a statement “‘Cuties’ is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children. It’s an award-winning film and a powerful story about the pressure young girls face on social media and from society more generally growing up — and we’d encourage anyone who cares about these important issues to watch the movie.”
