    Meaning that the promo image in the OP looks to be a rushed job that somehow passed vetting and wasn't flagged as something that would be found inappropriate. Which, if is the case, I consider remarkable, as US companies that I deal with get antsy even over too much cleavage.

    ''Which if is the case''....no one said that was the case, EXCEPT you. A strange way to build an argument. Make a suggestion. And then tear it down.

    (Can I call you a troll too? And repeatedly. It seems like such good fun. And sharing is caring.)

    We're done here.

    You fucked up and read "photoshop" as "fake", which was clarified for you as not being the case. Then you cherry picked sentences out of full paragraphs to try and misrepresent what was actually said into something that is simply in your own head.

    You've derailed the thread long enough.

    It's not a legitimate debate if you're misunderstanding what the other poster is saying and instead making up things in your head.

    You fucked up and thought I was saying something that I wasn't and then proceeded to drag the thread in silly town.
    Didn't you thank this post:

    "The image in the OP is a fake created to make it appear like this is a pageant-style movie about dancing 11 year olds being sexy. It's not an image that Netflix has produced..."

    The "specialising in twerking routines" is also made up nonsense that has little to do with the film.

    Look at the trailer and you'll see very little connection with the fake posters the OP has posted.

    This an award-winning French film about a preteens immigrants difficulty aligning her home culture and home life with that around her. Examinig the early sexualisation of children is a theme in this movie.

    Of course, American Nazi and religious types are losing their mind about it, while ignoring the fact that they are the biggest creators and consumers of actual child porn in the world.


    So what

    If you have an issue with that post take it up with the poster.

    Not remotely upset. Just wondering what the daily outrage threads are supposed to accomplish.

    If you're not morally outraged by the sexualisation of children I honestly don't know what to tell you...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,676 ✭✭✭circadian


    I find it funny that the posters that regularly complain about virtue signalling and the perpetually outraged, are actually the ones virtue signalling and being perpetually outraged.

    Geez, who would have thought that Hollywierd, which gave Roman Polanski a standing ovation would celebrate such a thing?

    One publicity shot that was since removed , nobody here has seen the actual movie and those who are commenting on this movie saying that someone else in the interweb said this and that about the content of the movie but most of the actual outrage is based off a 1:30 second clip on YouTube by biased individuals claiming to have seen and heard this and that followed by bordsies repeating that again and some kind proof of what's in this movie


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,800 ✭✭✭Quantum Erasure

    Creepy images. Does the film have the sexualization of children as its central theme?

    Netflix has an upcoming film "Cuties" which features an 11 year old from a conservative family who joins a dance group specialising in sexually provocative Twerking routines. The sexualisation of children is quite out in the open at this stage.

    11 year olds...

    I hear ya, but you can’t stop the tide!!

    Whole world obsessed with flaunting their every fibre to anyone that will take notice..

    And young girls, sadly are no different..

    Innocence and security is a non player these days..

    Kids simply copying their peers and their parents and their slightly older groupings..

    One wonders what target audience they are going for using those images but I have an idea ............

    Do you know anything about preteen girls at all ?

    I've two preteens who are into all the latest crazes twerking got replaced by tik tok , before that it was JoJo from dance moms a TV show with preteen dancers and the competitions they enter , which has the same outfits and dances for girls ,one actually involved a young girl wearing a tiny strip of material across her chest why so she would stand out from the others .
    Only recently Instagram had the pillow challenge where women wore nothing but a pillow ,this was rapidly followed by kids doing it and sharing the photos across social media ,
    Preteen pole dancers it's endless they mimic what the grown ups do especially on social media , we've seen numerous movies and programme's over the last number of decades that got called out for the sexualisation of children ,but it keeps going there is always another craze that's followed ,
    As I said in a previous post there is a teens dance show that screened a teen lesbian kiss that people wanted banned and oh two teen girls sharing a kiss should only be shown after 9pm ,

    Banning a movie based off a simple poster yes it's shouldn't have happened but if we bow to mobs wanting everything banned because they don't like the topic or themes won't solve anything ,just like cancel culture won't solve anything other than give a few people with keyboards power that they crave

    Yeah I know a fair amount about pre teen girls. I raised them not watching utter drivel on the goggle box because we did not have one, and instead at 11 they climbed trees and did martial arts. Kids sharing photos of themselves on social media wearing only a pillow sounds ....do you know what, I don't even have the words for how sordid and mindless it sounds like.
    On with yiz. Thank God mine are reared.

    And it just doesn't have to be that way.

    Here are some young girls and they're not lamb dressed as mutton and they have all the moves and they're doing the rounds on social media.

    A publicity shot that sexualised 4 young girls. Even Netflix didn't deny this.

    No here said that the reviewers from Sundance were outraged nor did the reviewers say the film makes sexualisation of children a positive thing.

    And if the clip you are referring to is the trailer it does suggest that the film is supporting the sexualisation of children.

    As has been pointed out many times here and elsewhere the poster and trailer give the completely wrong impression of what the movie is about.

    Actually read up on the topic before you on a rant.

    Now that that response is completely unexpected

    You are not going to waste your time looking for a post that does not exist?
