[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-Bruce Willis should never play a movie where he is in "sensitive mode". It just doesn't work.
-Kevin Spacey was a brilliant actor who absolutely deserved to get canceled for what he did, but he wouldn't have gotten canceled if his victims were female. This is maybe not an unpopular opinion, actually.
-Cuties is less offensive than Dance Moms or Toddlers in Tiaras.

Ooh this is a godd one! Made me think though....I think the optics of all three of those shows are the same, honestly. But with Dance Moms and Toddlers &Tiaras no one ever mentioned the elephant in the room....like we were all supposed to pretend we didn’t notice that the outfits were too skimpy, the dances were sexually suggestive (or at least sexualized) and the makeup made them look like little “baby prostitutes”—because noting any of those things would be the same as the kid who pointed to the empororer and shouted out “but he’s wearing no clothes!!!”.

With Cuties, the focus is the “deep dive” into the sexualization of children. It’s literally in the description so there can be no denial that the movie is ABOUT that (even if/when it’s claiming yo condemn it). So there is no groupthink that reinforces that watching this is “just fine” and it leaves you feeling gross. Also, despite the fact that the focus of the director was to create a film that exposes this world, she actually had to CREATE this world for the underage child actors who were cast in the film. And with the full acknowledgment that she was doing that and directing/choreographing dance moves for the purpose of eliciting that reaction from the viewer. So, for that reason I do think it’s worse.  [/quote]
