So the Sand Niggers and Snail Niggers are combining forces to fuck our babies. IT. IS. TIME. FOR TEAM MURRRICCCCCAAAA


In all seriousness, it seems she made the film out of a subconscious desire to retaliate against misogynist clitoris-removing jungle nigger culture, basically trying to show why it is bad for adults to interfere with the sexual maturation of underage girls by making a gross exploitation flick.

Or she is just a pedo herself

.....?¿🤔



You have a screw loose if you think a movie whose entire point is to oppose Islamic values and tradition is in any way Islamic.


Baphomet was invented by the French as a depiction of the Prophet (PBUH) so... that's kinda the point. Although there is definitely a discussion around where the star and crescent actually originated from because the symbols of Islam are the Black Standard and the shahaddah while the star and crescent was a symbol that appeared during the Ottomans.

I'm shitposting, homie. You don't think I know the origin of Baphomet and that Islam predates it? Chill bruh. Im a nigger, not a numbskull

Happy they are doing something about this i've seen 1 or 2 clips on Twitter it was repulsive. I'm just scared of a precedent it could do for other types of movies. Like very violent horror movies, really good movies i know but some of them have insanely violent scenes..would not like for the concept to go overbeard and every piece of edgy cinema gets yanked. At the same time it seems to be a rule for movies about kids only and not all indecent stuff.

Unless they literally murdered people to make those movies how will this set a bad precedent?

So long as they don't actually massacre anyone with a chainsaw to make the movie, I don't think the same thing can be applied there.

Netflix CEO defends ‘Cuties,’ calls the film uniquely ‘misunderstood’ in the U.S​

By CHRISTI CARRAS | STAFF WRITER

Netflix Chief Executive Ted Sarandos is not entertaining any backlash to the controversial French film “Cuties,” which many detractors have accused of sexualizing young girls.

Appearing at Monday’s virtual Mipcom marketing event, Sarandos reportedly defended Maïmouna Doucouré's award-winning debut feature about an 11-year-old Senegalese immigrant in France who rebels against her conservative family values and joins a “free-spirited dance crew.”

“It’s a little surprising in 2020 America that we’re having a discussion about censoring storytelling,” Sarandos said, according to Deadline. “It’s a film that is very misunderstood with some audiences, uniquely within the United States.

“The film speaks for itself. It’s a very personal coming-of-age film. It’s the director’s story, and the film has obviously played very well at Sundance without any of this controversy and played in theaters throughout Europe without any of this controversy.”

In August, Netflix’s poster for the French drama ignited harsh criticism and an online petition to remove the title from the platform. The streaming giant promptly apologized for and changed the “inappropriate artwork” — which pictured its four preteen stars posing in costumes baring their legs and midriffs — but stood by the film.

Despite Netflix’s damage-control efforts, many continued to make assumptions about the movie and criticize its director, who received a personal apology from Sarandos while fielding “numerous death threats.” After “Cuties” premiered on Netflix internationally last month, a grand jury in Texas went so far as to indict the streaming service for “promotion of lewd visual material depicting a child.”

“I received numerous attacks on my character from people who had not seen the film, who thought I was actually making a film that was apologetic about hypersexualization of children,” Doucouré told Deadline in September, adding she hoped the haters would “understand that we’re actually on the same side of this battle” after watching the movie.

“I really put my heart into this film,” she said. “It’s actually my personal story as well as the story of many children who have to navigate between a liberal Western culture and a conservative culture at home.”

In a September column for the Los Angeles Times, culture critic Mary McNamara characterized “Cuties” as “an imperfect but insightful portrait of a girl beset by so many opposing forces” and noted it defied her expectations.

“What I found was a film about rage,” she wrote. “That sudden, inchoate, unidentifiable female fury that rises in so many girls, often self-destructively, when they realize that certain rules are not about protecting them but controlling them.

“‘Cuties’ is not about a girl coming to terms with her sexuality; sexuality doesn’t factor into any of her actions. It’s about a girl coming to terms with the nature of power and her immediate, and potentially lifelong, lack of it.”
“... certain rules are not about protecting them but controlling them."

So telling kids not to twerk is harming children.

As opposed to flinging vast quantities of money at the parents of child actors, and directing the child actors to mime sex acts.

It's not like Brooke Shields was traumatized for her roles in "Pretty Baby" and "Blue Lagoon."

Makes sense said like that. I was focused on the fact that sometimes when we censor stuff things can go haywire and everything offensive gets targeted cause they saw outrage worked with that other thing. But in this case it's a illegal pedo movie not your average torture porn horror flick my comparison was probably wrong.

I don't think your concerns are unfounded necessarily.

As a point of comparison, anti-gun groups use power wherever they find it to pass shit that's blatantly unconstitutional and it takes 10-30x longer and 100x more money than it took to pass to overturn in court. With the added benefit of entire generations growing up under the laws and thinking it's normal while the legal process chugs along.

If the censor happy crazies of yore were able to use a conviction here to acquire any meaningful power they'd probably use a similar tactic.

That's a big If though.

It's easy enough to just ignore the vultures and prevent them regaining relevance, in theory. They do have their own history working against them after all.

I would agree if they were being charged under some kind of "obscenity" law but you can't really stretch the statute they're being charged under to include anything like fake video game "violence."
