❗This is what the head of Collective Shout had to say about the girls used in the film 'Cuties': "The girls may have been used unwittingly — but still inappropriately — to a noble end. do these questionable filming choices make Cuties a film that “promotes paedophilia”? I am not persuaded." 🧵
thank you for always being quick on the research, especially now when so many people are paying attention and having a chance to connect the dots for themselves
Thank you! I appreciate it! I can only hope my resources find their way to all those who need them
pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory
Actually ive seen several left-leaning people defend Cuties. Not sure why they choose to die on that hill
Like I said, they don't want to protect kids, they just want control
What infuriates me about this is that they could have easily had adult performers who looked young playing the roles and they would have still been able to make the point. The hypocrisy is unbelievable.
❗I point out the above not just based on how other people feel about Cuties BUT WHAT SHE HERSELF SAYS "The girls are shown twerking and grinding, fingers in mouths, the camera zooming into the crotch , hands in fake stimulation" she believes these young girls have been used but 'TO A NOBLE END'? 🧵
"Actually (probably) harming children is good if it is in service of opposing sex", apparently.
❗You do not get to call Japan a culture of pedophilia for drawn fiction but when faced with a film that uses real child actors while ALSO agreeing those kids were sexualized in a deeply problematic way, but say its a 'gray area' BECAUSE IT'S FOR "THE GREATER GOOD"? CALL COMING FROM INSIDE! 🧵
What the fuck 😭
oh so once again every accusation is a confession
Why are antis always defending cuties?? This is not the first second or even third time I've seen someone rail against taboo fiction and then defend cuties???
I thought antis hated that movie too?!?! I have Thoughts™ about that entire sitch there but I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they don't give a fuck about real, breathing children
She acts like the ends/means debate is open. It has been clear since Kant that using another person as a means is morally abhorrent.
In what backwards world is fictional depictions of child sexualization 'encouraging' but actual sexualization of child actors is fine?! If Cuties was a Japanese anime I'd bet they'd call it 'glorification', even if the script was completely unchanged.
