Part 4/9:
The public reaction has been swift and vehement. Hashtags like #CancelNetflix have trended globally, reflecting widespread disgust. Many critics accuse Netflix of prioritizing controversy and sensationalism over ethical responsibility. They argue that such content, if truly artistic or educational, could be presented without explicitly sexualizing children.
One prominent commentator and YouTuber expressed disbelief and moral outrage, stating, "I don't understand why this is on their service at all. It makes zero sense." They further argued that the film's scenes are not only inappropriate but could act as bait for pedophiles, perpetuating harmful and dangerous norms.
