Cuties

is completely disgusting. I just cancelled Netflix.

 

I don't have Netflix, but I heard there was a beef about the subject matter. Something about putting kids out there as sexual objects or something like that.
Was that a NAMBLA production?

 

I agree with you 100%.

 

I try not to be a knee-jerk kind of guy. I prefer to investigate and draw my own conclusions. In this case, I didn't do my own investigation because the subject matter is too disturbing, I let my ex-wife do the dirty work. She watched it, and summed it up in a word--disgusting. Said it was worse than the reviews.

And there's this: https://www.facebook.com/brady0621/posts/10104277432692776

I can't believe that people are defending this movie. I actually had someone on my friends list ranting about people who were canceling Netflix over a right-wing conspiracy. Since when is pedophilia a right wing conspiracy? Shouldn't this be something that both folks on the right and folks on the left agree on?

I guess not. There are few things that would motivate me to actually shoot someone over, but this is decidedly on the list. I have a 12 year old girl and would end people for her without hesitation.

And tangentially, what is wrong with this? https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2019/04/22/republican-lawmakers-child-drag-shows-illegal/

I really wonder if our resident lefty is ok with this crap. I would like to think he isn't.

 

A big chunk of the mainstream media is defending this movie. That's revealing. It's always nice when you can get them defending pedophilia just to own the cons.


That being said, I just watched There Will Be Blood on Netflix last night.

 

I'm glad no one around here is defending it. Someone that I have very occasionally cycled with defended it on Facebook, calling the outcry some right-wing overreactions and claiming that QAnon (whatever that really is) was behind it. She hadn't even seen it for herself, but like a lot of the left she was just echoing the narrative passed down by the media. In my book, that makes her a bad person. How can anyone with love in their heart defend this stuff?

The powers that be on the left may be starting to realize they overstepped though. Axios deleted their tweet, but this user captured it before. https://twitter.com/RachelValdez/status/1305606415239667712?ref_src=twsrc^tfw

For what it's worth, I'm very much against this movie and think Netflix should pay a HUGE penalty for streaming it. If that makes me a racist white supremacist nationalist fascist member of QAnon, I'll wear that badge with pride because the alternative has no soul.

 

It's starting...

I like how they call the controversy a "flash in the pan" even as it more than quintupled the churn rate.

given that you went from "i'm cancelling netflix" to "this netflix show should be must-watch" over the course of a week, i think they're prolly right.
