If you aren't also out there protesting every single child beauty pageant in this country, many many dance recitals across this country for girls under 12, then you're hypocrites. This film portrays that stuff and challenges the audience to ask if its gross, clearly the answer is yes. And yet you excoriate the film that is intentionally trying to bring that to light, instead of all the institutions that go on every single day that keep ACTUALLY sexualizing our children.

If "clearly the answer is yes" then it makes no sense to scold those of us who are responding appropriately, responding as the filmmakers wanted, per many posters here.

Was there a message behind the movie? Yes, but that doesn’t change the fact that these young girls were exploited for their bodies and depicted in a sexual way that they are not even old enough yet to consent to. There are other ways to comment on young girls being negatively influenced by social media than to show close up shots of their bodies moving in explicit ways.

Example: they could have used adults playing the roles of children in the movie. Plenty of 18 year olds could be made to look 11-13.

Thought this op-ed by the director did a good job of explaining the film. I haven’t seen it yet, but am planning to watch it. My 6th and 8th grade girls are constantly telling me that middle school is R-rated.

These arent women. They are children. And it is inappropriate.

People into TLC Dance moms and crap like that are really upset that along comes a movie from a muslim feminist that really criticizes society.

No, cancel nothing. If you don't want to watch it just don't. If you are too bothered by it, cancel Netflix. I want to watch - thanks for respecting my wishes.

These young girls are ACTORS. They were acting.

You're sick. They are really people, really dancing this way. Real children.

Get some help.

I already did. And I won't STFU. You'll have to be prepared for public shaming if you want to engage in your perversions

So other than the soft core child porn it was alright? Good to know.

I guess I just didn’t see it unless Netflix edited the film from earlier. I’ve had to sit through a lot of dance competitions and it wasn’t much worse than anything I’ve seen there. The photo she took that I read about was implied , you didn’t actually see a photo.

You might have a very warped idea of things. I've seen clips and the stuff was sick beyond words. I dont want to see close ups of 10 year old crotches though- YMMV

Is this the movie we are talking about?
I'm very confused about the controversy other than the shitty promo photo from Netflix. It seems like a commentary on shit we feed girls and the result that they are going to want likes and what not online starting at 11, set against an immgrant/culture clash story?

Is it just drastically different from the trailer? I don't see satanic in there- I see someone holding up a mirror to social media/ sexualization culture, for sure. I don't understand the satanic part? Is this all just that weird Qanon online group stirring up shit- because they believe something like democrats eat and sexually abuse kids in pizza places and such?

You know, I'm really not sure how to explain to you that close up shots of children's bottoms while they twerk is essentially soft core porn. That seems like something that should be intuitive, and, if it's not, it's either because the person has some kind of insurmountable cognitive deficit or they just don't want to see it. Neither is solvable- not by me at least- maybe God!

I wish you the best! And I hope don't have children!

The fact that you view children dancing as porn says a lot about you. Most people don’t find kids sexual. Gross.

Obviously twerking and sexualized dancing is sexual in nature. The fact that you want to deny or ignore that pedophiles exist says a lot about your motives. Sickening and shameful.

I don’t deny you exist. Just saying most adults would find the dancing in the movie to be awkward and not sexual.
