I'm not saying any publicity is good.  I'm saying that was likely Netflix' rationale for their exploitive poster and leaked clips.  Don't be stupid.  If Netflix hadn't done this and used the original French poster, we wouldn't be discussing the movie at all.  I'm sure they are enjoying the publicity, and the stock price tanking will be viewed as a buying opportunity. The whole controversy is a distraction from the important issues at hand.  You're wasting time arguing about a movie that you haven't seen instead of addressing the broader problem of the influence of social media and peer pressure on the impressionable young.  The girls were not subject to any adult guidance.  They were emulating the sexploitation of the entertainment industry without any understanding of its evil nature.  They wanted to be like the twerking entertainers they saw on TV and social media.  That is an underlying message of the film along with exposing the submission of Muslim women to their male-centric religion and culture.
