The 'Cuties' Netflix controversy erupted in August 2020 when the streaming platform released a promotional poster for the French film Mignonnes that was widely criticized for the sexualization of children. This spark ignited the #CancelNetflix movement, leading to a massive wave of public outcry and a significant spike in subscription cancellations. In internet culture, the meme is frequently used to illustrate corporate tone-deafness and the drastic disconnect between a company's marketing goals and public ethics. Memes regarding this controversy often serve as a commentary on 'cancel culture,' PR disasters, and the power of collective social media backlash against major corporations.
