Please remove the Argentinian movie that Netflix offers called Desire, which appears to portray child pornography - or at minimum inappropriately sexualizes a child. Netflix needs to issue an apology and commit to new standards to ensure this doesn't happen again! Below are standards proposed by the National Center on Sexual Exploitation. You can reach out to consult with them on how to improve your policies at public@ncose.com: National Center on Sexual Exploitation's Proposed Entertainment Industry Standard on the Depiction of Sexual Exploitation Whereas cultural values of equity and sexual consent are often shaped by the creative storytelling community, film studios must hold themselves to a high standard in order to depict issues regarding sexual exploitation and gender inequality in a socially responsible manner. Accordingly, we commit to the following: 1. Refraining from gratuitous portrayals of sexual harassment, coercion, or violence against women, men, or children by not displaying prolonged or eroticized scenes with such content; 2. Combating the normalization of behaviors associated with sexual entitlement, harassment, and violence by minimizing nudity, particularly female nudity which is more common than male nudity in top films;(1) 3. Thoughtfully eschewing the glamorization or normalization of the sexual commodification of another person, such as through the irresponsible portrayals of the sexually exploitive institutions of prostitution, strip clubs, and pornography; 4. Never producing any promotional materials or developing content that sexualizes children (person aged-17 or below) or those portrayed as children by adult actors. (1) The Media, Diversity, & Social Change Initiative reports that 25.9% of females and 5.7% of males were shown in sexually revealing attire, 25.6% of females and 9.2% of males were shown partially or fully naked, and females aged 13-20 were just as likely as those 21-39 to be shown in sexy attire or nude.
