JAKARTA - Some time ago, the Netflix streaming service came under fire from the public after promoting the film Cuties with posters that highlight the sexual elements of children. Not a few people then compare Cuties with the Stranger Things series, which according to them is far from controversial both in terms of promotion strategy and players.
In fact, one of the Stranger Things players, Natalia Dyer, said that the media often portrayed children in unusual ways. In fact, he explained, teenage players in Stranger Things often become sexual objects (over sexualize) like adults.
In an interview with The Independent, Monday, August 24, the Nancy Wheeler actor shared what had been received by young Stranger Things players such as Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Noah Schnapp, and others. Being a frequent sexual object, he feels to be more protective of these children.
“This is a complex and complex issue. There is a big concept behind it. Let the people (Stranger Things teenagers) be who they are, without judgment. "
Stranger Things has stolen the attention since its first part aired in 2016 which then made the names of its players skyrocket. However, as their names became more familiar, various oblique comments also came up.
Making children as sexual objects is also done by several media to Brown et al. In fact, Brown himself - entered W Magazine's list of sexiest television stars when he was 13 years old. He is juxtaposed with star classmates James Franco and Nicole Kidman who have grown up.
There is also Finn Wolfhard who complained about the sexual comments he received when he was 14 years old. He considers it inappropriate for someone who is older to comment such things to him who is still a teenager.
Natalia Dyer is one actress who realizes how important the role of the media is in portraying a person. That's why he only appears in public when he is promoting for his latest project.
On the other hand, Netflix has removed the official poster of the film Cuties and apologized to the public. The fourth season of Stranger Things is scheduled to air in 2021.
