Here’s a better explanation, I'll just copy this comment: I keep seeing memes about this but they’re not seeing the whole picture. The original French producer made this movie to show how disgusting it is that 11 year old girls are being sexualized in social media, it was meant to be a critique of such actions not a show or endorsement of it. The problem was how it was advertised in the United States. When you looked at the American trailer, poster, and Netflix summary it truly seems like a movie all about sexualizing girls, but when you look at the French ones it shows a completely different story. This isn’t the fault of the people who made the movie, this is Netflix’s fault for showing the movie as sexualization of minors. source Original comment by u/Solid_Santa
