Is Cuties a Pedo Flix?

 If you haven't heard, people across the globe are threatening to cancel Netflix for choosing to air a French film that many are calling a "Pedoflix." The movie Cuties is about a group of 11 year old girls that decide to win a dance competition by twerking.

On twitter, the hashtag NetflixPedofilia has been trending since the trailer of Cuties was released by Netflix. The trailer showed young girls moving their bodies in a manner that some are calling "seductive" or "inappropriate," while the young girls wear revealing clothes. The movie has yet to actually air, but already has over 500,000 dislikes on Netflix, over a million dislikes on the Youtube trailer and nearly 200,000 have already signed a petition to have the movie removed. Others are calling for the boycott and cancellation of Netflix.

Many are claiming that the movie's goal is to incite and promote pedophilia, and argue that the movie, whether intentional or not, sexualizes young girls. The negative comments toward the movie were so great that Netflix issued an apology for the cover of the movie, which featured young girls with their butts out and even a young girl on her knees with her butt up.

Though Netflix removed the scandalous cover, many are still boycotting Netflix and state they will not stop until the movie is removed. Many argue that the entire concept of young girls twerking sends out a bad message that will be exploited by the wrong people (i.e. pedophiles).

If you don't know what twerking is, it's a type of dance that symbolizes sex and involves a person moving the butts up and down in a sexual way. Twerking is meant to be sexual and suggestive.

The director of the movie, Maimouna Doucoure, claims that the movie is actually meant to be a critique against society's and social media's role in sexualizing young girls, but this has done little to stop the public backlash. Many are calling the director a female pedophile and a pedo enabler.

Many are arguing that if the movie is about warning young girls of the dangers of being sexualized through social media, then why make the movie for mature audiences, as the movie, about the 11 year olds, is for mature audiences due to "sex" and "nudity."

Regardless of the public outcry, Netflix has decided that it will continue to air the movie September 09, 2020. This has lead many to call for the cancellation of Netflix. Is this an overreaction from the public or is it justified? One won't know until the movie is released and we all decide for ourselves.

Why Have There Been So Many Earthquakes in 2020?

 Due to the global media's nonstop coverage of the Coronavirus pandemic, many have not heard about the numerous significant earthquakes that have already occurred this year and the many more that are being predicted to come. Because there have been so many earthquakes, this article will only cover those with a magnitude greater than 6. January 07, 2020, a 6.3 magnitude earthquake hit Indonesia and a 6.4 magnitude earthquake hit Puerto Rico. The earthquake in Indonesia has lead to volcanic activity. January 09, 2020 a 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck Russia, only to be followed by multiple 7 and greater magnitude earthquakes a few months later. January 19, 2020 a 6.0 magnitude earthquake struck China, destroying local infrastructure and buildings. January 24, 2020, a magnitude 6.7 earthquake struck Turkey, destroying historical buildings. January 27, 2020, a 6.3 earthquake hit the Solomon Islands sparking fears of a Tsunami. January 28, 2020, a massive magnitude 7 earthquake struck t...

Is Kanye West About To Be Suicided or Reprogrammed?

If you haven't heard, Kanye West, the rapper, producer, fashion designer, multi-millionaire, and husband to Kim Kardashian, went on a twitter and social media rant claiming that he was about to be locked up by Kim and her "doctors" and that his life was the real-life, "Get Out" movie.  If you haven't seen the movie Get Out, the movie is basically about mind control, slavery, and black people being totally controlled by their handlers *Spoiler Alert *(i.e. their handlers or slave masters take over their entire minds and body through hypnosis and then brain surgery).  Kanye West is no stranger to making bizarre rants and outburst in public settings. Prior to his original lock up or forced hospital admission in 2016, Kanye West went on a rant at one of his concerts stating that Facebook and Google were lying to people, that he had been isolated from other celebrities and the election was rigged. The rant would go on for nearly 15-minutes.  Shortly after the ran...

Was Megan thee Stallion About to be Sacrificed?

If you haven't heard, Megan thee Stallion was shot in the leg, twice, by Canadian rapper and singer, Tory Lanez. Now I'll be honest, I haven't listened to a single song by either of these musicians but I typically prefer music that is not mainstream. However, I did hear about this very bizarre story (that seems to evolve everyday) and I can't help but think - man something is not adding up here. So the story starts with JUST Meg, Tory, and Kylie Jenner partying in a hotel pool. Meg attempts to live stream this weird event and Kylie apparently tells her to stop and someone is heard in the background saying that the music has to be turned down. Now here is where stories deviate. One version states that Meg and Tory start arguing at the hotel, multiple shots are fired, someone (either Meg's friend or someone from the hotel) calls the cops and reports their vehicle to the police because the police pull the vehicle over before they make it to their destinatio...
