Why the Left Is Normalizing Child Pornography
2020-09-15
[Breitbart] If the uproar over Netflix’s Cuties tells us anything, it’s that we’re now at a point where the political left and the national media want to normalize child pornography.

There is no moral world, no sane world in which a movie like Cuties is okay. While I acknowledged in my review that Cuties is critical of the misogynist elements of traditional Islam and that that’s a perfectly reasonable message, I do not agree the movie is a critique of how social media sexualizes children.

To me, Cuties is a classic story with a classic structure. You put your hero through a difficult journey and the hero comes out the other end better for it. That’s what twerking and posting nude photos accomplish for the 11-year-old Ami, the protagonist in Cuties. This journey is portrayed as difficult but ultimately healthy. Spiritually and mentally healthy. There’s no lasting damage at the end of that journey, just growth and enlightenment. Terrible message. Indefensible.

Even if you buy the manure that Cuties is critical of sexualizing children, how is sexualizing children to criticize sexualizing children okay?

Cuties is not like a movie opposed to torture or animal abuse or rape that dramatizes torture and animal abuse and rape. The sexualization of young girls is not dramatized in Cuties. The girls are sexualized. The camera floats all over them like a pervert, even when they spread their 11-year-old legs.

So why is the left suddenly crossing this line? Why is Netflix mainstreaming soft-core child pornography? Why is it now acceptable for the elite media to publish headlines like this one?: "Cuties, Netflix Review: a Provocative Powder-Keg for an Age Terrified of Child Sexuality" — as if only backwards hicks could be "terrified" of sexualizing 11-year-olds.

Or this headline: "The Creepy Conservative Obsession With Netflix’s Cuties, Explained" — as though finding soft-core child pornography revolting and outrageous is all of a sudden a "creepy obsession."

Those in the media not openly defending soft-core child pornography are defending it by covering up the controversy, by pretending it doesn’t exist, like CNNLOL.

Talk about silence as complicity.

Becoming, a Netflix Original

The party of Flesh Trade, primary purchasers of The Flesh Trade.

Taken is a shit movie. The question it does raise, though, is why the premise of the movie?

#9  Looked deeper into Pizzagate. I'm no surprise. I seem to recall that Wash D.C. has the 15h highest rate of child abduction.

Don't believe it. I think it was number 1 not to long ago.

#8  We cancelled Netflix this week because of that. We were monthly subscribers since the days where they mailed you the DVDs and you mailed them back, cheaper than Blockbuster.

#4  My wife has decided we are cancelling Netflix. I don't think she's alone.

Looking forward to someone asking Harry and Meghan and Michelle and Barack who all have Netflix deals what they think. Should be fun.
