Libertarians are the child molesters party. They think parents can choose their guardians. They also do a good job of siphoning off the votes of Republicans so Democrats can win. One Libertarian was in BLM and he was shot. (un)reason magazine eulogized him.

Naked pictures of children isn’t a sex act either...

I don’t watch anything that exploits children, particularly girl children, in manners I would never allow my own daughter to act

What is wrong with the mother of your Hod children? As a God mother you agreed to be sure they were raised in the ways of the Lird. What’s up with you?

It was filmed in France. A totally different culture. Not sure the United States even has standing in the case.

Not all degeneracy is illegal.

But it’s still indefensible.

You keep digging your hole deeper in defending this movie. A movie like you are describing could have been made without actually doing what it’s supposedly decrying- the sexual exploitation of children. The producers of this film solicited 100’s of videos of 11 year old children dancing erotically to audition for the movie. And then had 11 year old children perform the following in the movie- talk about penis size, simulate intercourse with thrusting pelviv movements, grab their crotches, spread their legs wide open while the camera zooms in on their crotch area, etc.
You don’t make a movie about how bad drugs are by injecting someone with heroin or make a movie about killing someone is bad by actually killing someone.

The image of child sexualization has been in Hollywood for decades.

1. It doesn't exploit children. it talks about people exploiting children

2. What's wrong with the mother? - in my opinion, she was tired, she didn't even watch what was on TV, just taught the "voice of..." was a music program. In her defense, she did stop it after the criticism.

3. What's up with me? Yes I failed before that, the only excuse was that I wasn't there with them during weekday evenings. In this little way, I hope that I helped the mother

That’s a good review.

I agree with you that it’s no excuse for sexualizing children.

sorry, the guy’s face and voice was just too irritating for me to watch more than a few seconds.

He must be a perv to have been turned on.

That being said - I hope this movie brings up the disgusting way we treat kids on standard fare TV shows as well

With its recent enactment of a law which, by allowing consent by 14-year-olds to provide legal protection for 24-year-old pedophiles, puts California ahead of France in the race to legalize sexual abuse of children. The Pound-Me-Too movement must have missed this one.

Let’s make it clear - I’m not defending the movie. I’m point out two things

1. This is not the same movie as the trailer (which is disgusting)

2. This movie does have a message at its core on how TV and society sexualizes children.

As to your points

a. “A movie like you are describing could have been made without actually doing what it’s supposedly decrying- the sexual exploitation of children.” — yes, I agree

b. “the producers...” — I did not know that, that is disgusting

c. the rest, again disgusting.

To me I watched it only to understand what I was criticizing. I see it as flawed movie trying to talk about the exploitation of children and failing at that.

You are right - there is probably a better way and there ARE better films that don’t exploit kids.

But they get forgotten and unknown of

This film is out there — and lots of people are raising a hue and cry — and I HOPE that this will start us as a society ending the TV and movies that also sexualize children.

If this film gets society in a roar and ends much of the media sexualization of children, that would be a good thing

The courts say they’ll recognize pornography when they see it.
