Even censored with a Pepe this shit is gross.
I have no idea what the hell these people are thinking.
We live in a world where Uzaki-chan gets absolutely destroyed because she 'looks young' – despite it being explicitly stating her age and the she's in college, but somehow this shit is completely ok? Uzaki-chan isn't even real either!
If ever there was a juxtaposition to demonstrate how hypocritical and bonkers these people are – this would be it.
I really don’t understand why they had to have actual children in this movie. If this was a documentary I would be more understanding, because it would be easier to say that they were fully against the issue, and maybe some pedos would have been caught. The fact that this is fiction and they paid the girls families for them to perform lewd acts on screen, makes me not want to support the film at all.
The claimed reasoning for creating it is good, but the direction it went in was extremely horrible. Actual children were exploited to make this movie.
All deflection by leftists that this movie criticizes the sexualization of children goes out the fucking window if you actually watch it.
The cinematography and shot selection make it PERFECTLY FUCKING CLEAR that this movie was made for pedophiles to jerk off to.
Every. Single. One. of the above screenshots of those girls dancing are part of long, leering, close-ups of their spread ass and crotch.
You know how Feminists love to bitch about the "male gaze" (ie camera angles designed to let guys ogle at the ass or tits of a female character)? Well this movie has "pedophile gaze", and it has it in spades.
That’s fair, I refuse to actually watch it, and I guess being too ready to give people the benefit of the doubt can be a bad thing sometimes. The choreography and cinematography of the clips I have seen are absolutely horrendous, and I heard that there was actual scenes with nudity. Like I’m not trying to defend this at all, I guess I just suffer from Tim Pool syndrome, and look at things with more nuance than they sometimes deserve.
I have not watched the movie, I don’t have Netflix and am too disgusted by the clips going around to sail the seas for it. Everything I know about it comes from reviews, photos, and clips. Diesel patches on YouTube gave about a 3 minute synopsis/ review of it, and a lot of clips have been floating around.
I can defend cartoons and other types of animations featuring fictional characters but this is live action with actual minors that supposedly features nudity of a said minor that would violate laws in several countries and US states. I can't defend that.
I am just going to copy/paste my reply because I really want to hear how you guys feel about this:
I think his conclusions are noteworthy:
After some thought , the film is almost unthinkably reactionary. While the imagery is gross and repugnant. I find it hard to believe this was anything other than a direct attack at hip hop, social media , and lack of basic morals in the west.
the cinematography should be killed. But the reality is the film despite its pedophelic nature , is a giant fuck you to the west and our porn culture that poisons even children. its , dare i say it redpilled
done some more thinking. I think every parent should be forced to watch this movie until they throw out their kids technology and dont allow them to leave the house without a male of the family"
Seems like the writer/director felt like they had to make this as absolutely reprehensible as possible in order to shock people in to seeing what is going on with children these days.
I'm kind of split on this. It's obvious that many parents have no idea what their children are doing online and need to really start paying attention. Does this issue warrant using this level of shock, though?
Fuck netflix either way for the way their promotional material framed this movie. I don't think I can bring myself to watch it but if it really is as reactionary as twitter dude said it was it then it's putting out a very important message. Instead netflix just wanted to coast on shock value and pedo-bait.
hearing that the director intended this to be a giant critique of western culture. If true this movie is based and the pedo scare worked at maybe getting a billion dollars in free advertising.
FuckSpez: added credit. Also give that guys tweets a read, they are pretty funny.
Y'know even if the movie was supposed to be a critique on modern culture and how society sexualizes children or whatever it was they were saying, the fact that it sexualizes children to this degree pretty much destroys any credibility for that.
It'd be like if I decided to do a movie on why animal abuse is bad but it was just two straight hours of me torturing animals. No one wants to see that, you don't need to show that to get your point across, and the only people who would enjoy something like that are the people you are trying to demonize.
I don't care if it's "reactionary" or a "critique". It's fucked up to have close-up shots of children's crotches while they're dancing provocatively. That's not necessary if your goal is to simply "critique" a culture. You can show what's going on with wide angle shots of the entire stage without zooming in on the sexual organs of pre-pubescent children.
The sorts of angles they showed in that film are what you'd see in a porn, not a TV show or movie. You don't get a free pass doing so just because you want to show people "what is going on with children these days"
You know, one thought I've had simmering on the back burner for several years now is that the entire culture war has been a staged play with the intention of easing the general public into understanding just how reprehensible many of the popular social justice causes actually are behind closed doors.
No idea if that's true, but things like this do make it sound more likely.
Utter BS. The west has more laws and harsher punishment for pedophilia than any other culture out there. Most ignore it or treat it as less sever than it is. Hell, look at the "Bacha Bazi" in Afghanistan. The UN covering up sexual assaults by their people on children. And many other examples. This is just trying to appease critics that are calling this what it really is.
Interesting take, I'd have to actually see the movie to agree/disagree and I'm not sure I want to. Depending on the messaging in the movie it could go either way. Like is the film highlighting and condemning these things? Or is it highlighting and then watching this girl descend into debauchery hoping the audience disapproves of it? In this fucked up timeline you simply can't expect the audience to react as you'd hope they would, you really need to drive home the message you're attempting to deliver or else the rampant subjectivists will have their way with you.
I'm in the same boat as you with regards to watching it.
From what I gathered from the twitter thread it seems like the movie is actually trying to portray everything in a negative way. It ends with the kid breaking down and the final shot is of her in jeans and a long sleeve t-shirt jump roping with other kids her age, so the end message is pretty clear.
I'm just not sure about the approach it takes to get there.
Its still pretty fucked up in a sense though. Netflix could never have advertised this movie as a warning against 11yr olds getting sexual and abandoning their cultural traditions and morality, instead they had to run with everything we've seen so far.
As a digital forensics examiner, I've seen pedophiles collect images exactly like this countless times. If I saw this on somebody's computer, I would flag it for an investigator to take a look at, but it almost certainly wouldn't get prosecuted without actual exposed genitals. Maybe if there was a huge amount of them and matching search terms.
FUN FACT: With a black Muslim lead, Cuties meets the Oscars new diversity requirement so it would qualify for Best Picture.
The Godfather wouldn't.
Why would you do that to Pepe? Feelsbadman.
Because Pepe hates CP
what ethnicity is jeffry epsien and weinstein or any other stein or berg or mann? https://ibb.co/album/N1ZXcQ

"No guys! I can't be a pedophile! I was against that drawing of a short adult woman in a cartoon!"

Don't listen to what they say, look at what they do.
I mean feminists always have claimed to want equality and have never taken action to achieve it.
it sounds likd you watched the movie? in which case you have supported it by showing netflix there is audience fof this filth
I have not watched the movie, I don’t have Netflix and am too disgusted by the clips going around to sail the seas for it. Everything I know about it comes from reviews, photos, and clips.

Yep. I'm willing to defend the most disgusting drawn/animated shit imaginable. It's fucking FICTION.
But I think this shit is indefensible. There's no justification for adults to make 11 year old girls do this infront of a camera.
No 11 year old girl should be taught that the easiest way to make money is to gyrate infront of a camera at the instruction of an old man.
I heard a rumor that there's actual CP in this movie.
I'm not going to watch it to check, obviously, but yeah...
Supposedly one of the children exposes a breast.
Which is it?
Teen since they're past 10.
Eleventeen
I am not defending this movie.
In another thread someone posted some guy live tweeting while watching it (credit to u/cartoonericroberts/) https://twitter.com/animegorilla/status/1304062928656773122
