I was amazed when, I went to visit our friends who are religious and have 4 girls - 1,3,5,7 and the 7 year old was playing wearing high-heels and shaking her behind while walking. It was funny as - her mother doesn't do that, never did that, is very conservative. And they go to a religious pre-school. IT clicked, when, at 6:30 pm the parents switched on the "voice of ..." and put it for the kids to watch (including ours) - and the judges were dressed like prostitutes and acting like them. I got angry - both for my kids who aren't allowed to watch stuff like that and for their kids (who we love) - we got into an argument along the lines of "aren't cartoons good enough?" - and the parents were trying to defend themselves - more out of contrariness as my wife and I were a bit too vehement - but also I understood - they were exhausted with the kids and jobs and saw the switching on as a chance to relax.
Side-note - they stopped showing this a few weeks later and only put children channels on - the girls were actually happier to watch children's cartoons
The point is - parents don't even realize how damaging these are.
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.
