re: Netflix indicted on kiddy porn charges in Texas for airing "Cuties"

Ugh. The most intelligent thing I have seen or read is Ben Shapiro’s video entitled “ Cuties Movie Deconstructing the culture”. He made many positive comments about the the film and felt it made many extremely important points about the rottenness of French/ Western/Internet culture but agrees that it was exploitive in EXTREME sexualization of eleven year old children.

I am asking you to hold two ideas in your head simultaneously. A film about the innate sickness of sexualizing children can and was guilty of sexualizing children. Pretty simple.

In the context of the larger film it is obvious that the director had the best of intentions and a valuable POV about why the hyper sexualization of children is horrible. And yet she may have inadvertently done something very similar by how the film was shot and promoted by Netflix. Shots that linger on the crotch and backside of eleven years olds are pretty self- explanatory. Watch Ben’s video.
