NETFLIX AND ILL
A scene in the drama film Desearas (Desire), could find Netflix facing a child pornography investigation.
The graphic scene includes young girls (around seven to nine years old) “playing horse” with pillows; according to The Daily Mail, “one of them apparently brings herself to orgasm with the camera on her face.”
PJ Media says they have reported the film to not only the FBI, but the Department of Justice and to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children as well, especially after a video of the scene has been making its way around Facebook.
This is not the first time PJ Media has taken on Netflix, either. In late 2017, their writer Megan Fox (who also wrote the aforementioned Desire piece) penned a critical essay of the Netflix original series Big Mouth, which she described as “little more than a pedophile’s grooming fantasy.”
User reviews of Desire on Netflix have not been favorable either, with one user calling it “softcore porn” and several others stating that it “makes no sense.”
The Netflix description of the film, directed by Diego Kaplan, reads, “A young woman arrives at her estranged sisters wedding to mend fences but falls prey to lust when she meets the groom.”
Netflix rates the film as TV-MA, which is defined by the FCC thusly: “These programs are intended to be viewed by mature, adult audiences and may be unsuitable for children under 17.”
We have reached out to Netflix for comment, but the company has yet to publicly address the situation.
