Gal Gadot is too sexy but Twerking 11-year-olds is art… explain to me why I shouldn’t assume that the Left is a cabal of pedophiles
In the last couple of days, I’ve seen several Left-leaning sites defend the Netflix release of the Sundance award-winning film Cuties.
Defenders of Hollywood keep sending the message “don’t judge it until you see it.” (WaPo and the New Yorker said the same thing)
Apparently the controversy is from the Netflix description:
Additionally, Vulture reports, the description on the film’s Netflix page read at the time, “Amy, 11, becomes fascinated with a twerking dance crew. Hoping to join them, she starts to explore her femininity, defying her family’s traditions.”
One dance routine has been posted online. I’m not linking it here.
The original reviewer was deleted but a screenshot was captured an posted online.
That is disgusting.
Now let me remind you that when Wonder Woman came out, the Left was up in arms that the costume Gal Gadot was wearing was overly sexual.
A costume, by the way, that covered more of Gal Gadot than the costumes these girls wore for their dance routine.
So I just want to see if I understand the situation.
A 32-year-old woman doing stunts in a mini skirt and corset is overly sexual, the director is a misogynist for the costume, and we are bad people if we go to see the movie…
But…
A group of 11-year-old girls simulating intercourse in spandex short-shorts and sports bras is art that you should see before you criticize it, and if you do criticize it you are a xenophobic, misogynist, racist knuckle-dragging reactionary because it is a French film made by a Senegalese Muslim woman.
From this, I might be inclined to believe that Hollywood press and critics are a bunch of pedophiles trying to normalize their perversion.
But I keep being told that is something in the realm of a 4Chan conspiracy theory.
