A call to boycott Netflix on Thursday over the French film Mignonnes – AKA Cuties – has been launched on social media, over claims that its young stars were portrayed in a sexualised way.
More than 200,000 tweets with the hashtag #CancelNetflix became the top trending topic one day later.
“As the mother of an eight-year old girl, I STRONGLY support #CancelNetflix,” added Beatrice Cardenas, another California Republican.
But on Thursday, broader opposition to some of the imagery came from around the political spectrum in the United States.
