The only thing I've seen from that movie is part of a clip of the dance scene on twitter and Endorph posted:nothing actually in the movie cuties is much worse than reality shows on teenage girls you can find on primetime tv. this does not mean its a well executed movie but it is not 'child porn' is probably correct. The discourse around this has a use. The next victor salva is absolutely taking notes on how to film scenes like that and get a pass from the public at large. But look on the bright side: maybe the next victor salva is a queer woman of color! Progress!

Apologies for signal boosting this person but... https://mobile.twitter.com/MaryMargOlohan/status/1303908536553017349 I haven't seen the movie but I mean like regardless of the context and intention of the movie what the gently caress. Someone still wrote and recorded this, seems like you could make a movie with her alleged intention without making whatever this is. I'm sure you could do a twitter search for all the libs defending this movie and they were screaming about the joker movie months ago.

yeah not like there is a long, horrifying tradition of parents trying to show that their kid can do just this even better than everyone else's kid on a stage in front of adult judges it's a gross and unsettling movie, that's the point. I, too, would never seek to create something like this if I was a filmmaker, even if it was in the name of criticizing the social forces that push these types of behaiour and structures in the real world. I'm not gonna click the video and I'm pretty sure the rule is to keep media like that out of this thread. This isn't a movie review thread but just in case, 0 stars out of five thanks like and subscribe

Just seems to be lib brain poisoning like they just see a culture war and have to be on the correct side which is in this case stanning the sexually exploiting children movie.

I actually just watched the movie because my wife and I alternate picking movies and she wanted to see what the fuss was about. it is basically Thirteen for the social media age. the movie is aggressively, nauseatingly uncomfortable, but it does have a point and it’s not about how sexy kids are. the dance scenes are supposed to be awful and nerve wracking to watch, they’re enfolded in a plot that fairly unsubtly sends the message that this is a bad, bad thing. I would not watch it again and not recommend it unless you have nerves of steel and an iron stomach (and hopefully no kids of your own, since this will make you want to lock them in their rooms until they turn 18). however it does not seem to be made for pedos.

Professorjuggalo posted:I also agree big mouth isn’t comparable and I even said myself the problem with this is the same problem as exploitation movies. There’s gonna be adults watching this film who don’t see the message or ignore it and kids who also watch it and miss it only adding to the alarming and already pointed out trend in society (but with a official studio backing). Which means at best this is something for the audience to chew over and not something FOR the exploited groups it’s preaching on. This is all stuff feminist and black groups were saying about horror and exploitation films (but both have addressed this in ways with some drat good modern horror movies and the entire blaxploitation genre). And horror and exploitation films had histories with demands from the top to put in extreme scenes to justify making movies about heady topics in the first place. While that’s a larger problem with capitalism in itself I feel these things amplify way worse with the nature of child labour. cross post of myself from that thread before I eat a perma for shitposting back too hard

I like how anyone can go find the "anti semitic" post and read it for themselves but no one does and just keeps perpetuating the lie. Like it happens all the time in the media, with politicians etc that step out of line and criticize Israel or some other obviously poo poo thing and they get branded an anti semite or worse and get written off / ignored / memory holed and no one thinks twice about it. Cuppy was a bit out there at times but his posts had a lot of Epstein adjacent real stuff in them that they were good and on topic and the fact that outsiders come in, complain, get the guy perma banned and use the guise of "anti semitism" and "mental illness" to make everyone look away is like our own little op happening, just for us.

It's interesting which threads people just leave due to lack of interest or relevance and never revisit and which ones people are all GOTTA GAS IT (though truthfully this has less to do with particular threads than particular posters). As if advocating gassing itt does anything other than identify you as a friend of or potential friend of pedophiles, lol (The little 'do not enter' sign will remove this thread from your bookmarks hth) What I hope is the last word on cuppy: It's difficult to concern troll effectively re: mental illness if you are consistently showing your own rear end with regards to your understanding of it. As far as I can see, the reasoning for his punishment boils down to this: "This guy is 'obviously' crazy/too severe a degree of crazy" Who is qualified to make this judgment among the people actually saying this? "The punishment for too much craziness is a permaban" Again, not sure why mental illness is an offense to be punished, someone can help me understand if they want "We don't want the 'crazy' to spread" This isn't how epistemology or epidemiology work None of it is sound logic, especially since they didn't post anything antisemitic (which is what is only alluded to, not directly attributed in the probation/ban reasons). What rule, exactly, did this poster break? In any case, the punishment does not fit the perceived crime. It's obviously not based on any notion of harm reduction. They should be free to post. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4fWYw7uuvU Harold Stassen has issued a correction as of 14:49 on Sep 13, 2020 |

StratGoatCom posted:Either ban talking about that fuckwit, or the thread, because I want to read about loving Epstein, not some useless shitheel posting hosed up poo poo about jewish community leaders sacrificing their people to bahomet or whatever, or how his perma wasn't deserved. The post that you didn't quote was actually about Nazis killing Jews, for anyone else who's not going to look for it. Post about Epstein if you want the discussion to be about him, instead of disingenuously pushing a false narrative In addition to Peter Nygard, I wonder how many wealthy people operate similar islands to Little St. James? One of the central conceits of the official narrative is that Epstein was basically a lone actor, and this is inferred to be the only place any of this stuff was going on. The thing that I think set Epstein apart was just how brazen he was about it all. The bulk of truly wealthy people in the world are semi-anonymous as far as not being instantly recognizable/famous like he or his cohorts and can probably move to and from their respective "island" or what have you quite freely without observation or speculation by the Enquirer et al. When I think of the British political scandal about trafficking young boys to be abused in the 1970s, the average person can't put a face to many of the names. By contrast the Epstein case is completely engrossing from a tabloid perspective because so many of the people implicated are famous and well-known. But by such a bright spotlight being cast on it and saying it's been wrapped up because Epstein is dead, I feel like the enduring child trafficking operations are that much more enshadowed.

Circumstances surrounding Epstein's death open up the discussion to a broad, wide ranging subject. You don't go from math teacher to billionaire hedge fund manager at a school with a history of child abuse without having a shitload of weird connections. Instead of telling the thread what you don't like, try contributing something meaningful.
