[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reviews on Commonsense Media were not all that positive.  I’m going to hold off on it for my 9yo for now. [/quote]

What is with all of the parents saying it's for older kids because they talk about periods?? There is nothing mature about knowing or learning about periods... everyone should. [/quote]

DP. The Common Sense reviews are kind of funny to read. [b]Parents say it glorifies disrespect towards parents[/b]! And I don’t recall the characters actually saying the word “period” once. [/quote]Because all the crazy Christian influencers are riling up their base to post.[/quote]

The overarching theme of the movie is a girl coming of age by making her own decisions, and specifically her own decisions about her body.  There's a subset of people that think that is the ultimate sin and will go way over the top condemning this movie without admitting what they're really angry about by couching it in "rebellion" and "disrespect" and "inappropriate."  I saw one saying that the movie promoted prostitution because the panda "gave rides to boys as a way to earn money."  :lol:

They can't say what they really mean, which is "I don't want teen girls to think they have/deserve bodily autonomy."[/quote]

“My panda my choice,” is an actual quote from the movie. [/quote]

I know, I watched.  Personally I'm not infuriated by the idea of my daughter deciding what happens to her own body, but the reason these "Christian influencers" are up on arms leading an internet attack on the film is that they find the idea terrible.  I'm just translating what they're saying (eww, periods!  She's disrespectful to her parents!) to what they actually mean (girls shouldn't receive messaging that they're on control of their bodies).[/quote]
