WTF, I just heard about this "cancel Netflix" movement. Took me literally 60 seconds on Google to figure out the movie is basically pulling a "Boyz n the Hood" and using shock factor to brig awareness to a hard reality that needs addressing and criticizing the sexualization of young girls.
If these people could pay their bills with irony they'd never have to work again, holy hell people.

It is. I'm going underground to live with the moles for a year or two. No drama, just dirt.

the problem is that while the "intent" was to draw attention to talk about how bad this is...a lot of people enjoy sexualizing women/young girls, and this has the absolute opposite effect.

unless this is super meta, and the point is to draw attention to how many people "enjoy" watching this movie

The "its to criticize hypersexualization of little girls" angle seems relatively new.

The original descriptions put out by Netflix explicitly made it sound like a positive, coming of age story of a little girl liberating herself from an oppressive conservative religious family by joining a dance group.

Tbf, it almost sounds like Netflix didn't fully understand the source material and just signed off on a popular award winning film.

No, they understood the movie they bought completely, and found a way to get attention from it by manipulating the fragile feelings of backwater Puritans from one of the stupidest countries in the developed world with unfitting advertisement.

Its working.

Yeah.

There are better ways to criticize the sexualization of children than..... sexualizing children.

Attack the primary sources of normalization: the children pageant industry and the Japanese video game and anime industries. Yeah, I went there.

I mean, would you try to criticize loli culture and characters like Nowi by creating a sexualized loli character showing even more skin than Nowi? (I'm sure that one is possible.) No. Of course not. Because the demographic you're railing against will just get a kick out of her, and people will think you're a sick fuck despite your satirical intent.

I remember smug right wingers trying to use the protectionist position of Wakanda and their internal prosperity as a "take that" to people in favor of more permeable borders.

But that isn't really the same situation as the marketing put out by a distributor.

CE: Eww, look at all those big breasted anime girls that look 12. Glad they are censoring it. Buncha pedos.

Also CE: What's wrong with a movie showing actual twelve year old girls being sexualized? It's satire bro! You just hate it because you're racist!

I would also say "the director is a black woman from Senegal" but most people didn't even look into the movie that far and think its an American movie made by some white dude.

That just means it isn't outrage due to bigotry. They would be outraged regardless.

This movie would have been buried at the bottom of the netflix hole forgotten as soon as it was released if people did not latch onto the "contraversy" of this film. Which is likely no where near as bad as their minds imagine.

Now far more people will watch it just to see if it really is that bad. Good job.
