LOL great site you write for

Was this parody, or did they legit have a seizure while cruising the Reee?

Why does it always come back to them wanting free money because they failed at everything they've tried? It's very interesting how they hate the rich, hate any successful, but gimme gimme free money! I wonder if they followed their own advice and paid others when educating them?

Mention how immigrants from <insert literally any country here> arrive with nothing, sometimes not even a firm grasp of the language, and are successful within a single generation or two and they hurl the "model minority" in your face. I remember such a thread on Reee before. Some of their black (not all) American users went berserk, claiming immigrants come in with a leg up.

Sure, "a leg up". Nothing but the clothes on their back, maybe a few hundred dollars, sparse English, non citizen status. But somehow, according to Reee, they possess privilege - not the families who have been here for ten generations with the social benefits (however meager they be compared to other first world nations) our country affords them. It would be humorous if the rest of us weren't picking up the tab.

"fuck humanity in general" for not being all in on sexualization of young girls

of course they are using the "i'm smart and anyone who doesn't like this is an idiot" defense.

 

[Goro Majima]

Imagine feeling the need to defend a movie made for an adult audience about 11 year olds twerking.

Even as someone who has become increasingly libertarian in response to the regressive left, I can still say “okay maybe we should draw the line at the sexualization of minors”.

 

[infinitys_7th]

Someone mentioned that Era had a thread on that Netflix. I can't say I'm surprised by their reaction. It's bizarre watching them defend it in a bunch of contradictory ways ("It's about exploitation being a bad thing!", "It's about 11 year olds twerking being female empowerment!", "It's about Muslims integrating into western society!").

 

[Forsythia]

They love little kids themselves, of course they don't see anything "problematic" with the movie. And don't you forget it's directed by a black woman! As if that makes sexualising little kids okay.

[sobaka770]

Out of all the fun stuff coming from Resetera, they are actually absolutely correct about the movie. People who think it's pedophile porn are definitely out of depth.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

maybe you would be happier over at Era then

 

[Anal Wake]

Netflix is making movies for pedophiles now? What a time to be alive.

 

[#Phonepunk#]

you are a racist if you think a movie about young girls in a twerk contest has anything to do with sex

 

[showernota]

I wish my worldview was so narrow that I could blame everything on 3 groups; racists, misogynists, and bots.

 

[infinitys_7th]

You know what twerking is, right? It's a woman simulating bouncing her butt up and down during sex to turn men on. Do you really see nothing wrong with a movie revolving around a troupe of prepubescent girls simulating sex?

There are various levels of creepy stuff with kids - beauty pageants run the gamut from odd to fully creepy, but this is a whole separate level of creepy. It's no different from that parents who turned their kid into a drag queen and basically pimp him out to gay bars. Children being involved in explicitly sexual content is not acceptable

 

[JSoup]

I want to say that it being a documentary gives it a very slight benefit of the doubt. It's intended to be a kind of 'docudrama', so it all comes down to how much is documentary and how much is drama. The twerking kids part? I'd bet real money on it hardly making up 15 minutes of the actual film. This just reeks of 'we know we have a dud product, so here's something to piss everyone off, hello free press'.

Not that this makes it ok. There is a line with these things and it's very much been crossed.

Fuck you, pay me

 

[#Phonepunk#]

jfc it's marketed as that? so it's EdUcAtIoNaL.

give me a break. nothing is special about "documentaries". they are as biased as any written fiction. the veneer of objectivity only makes them serve as explicit propaganda.

like what are we supposed to "learn" here from this "documentary"? other than "these girls are living their truths and it is normal and thus ok"? then the next movie that comes out goes a little bit further. maybe this French lady knows an even more sexual dance troupe. no, buddy. fuck no. that shit stops here. they messed up when they made that sick poster.

it is funny them using genre descriptions to defend it tho. and identities, of course (she is a WOMAN of COLOR telling her STORRRRYYYY) when in doubt, aim for the snobs, aim for the SJWs. it seems to work. elitists will gladly lap up this trash especially if they can thumb their noses as people for not "getting it". all that boils down to is using pseudo intellectual elitism to mask morally vacant shit.

I think a lot of people fallen into that same mindset. The push for UBI (before COVID) signaled a lot of people just want free money. I felt the same way until just a few months ago, but realized how badly that would affect my motivation in life.

It's basically "if you hate someone so much that you can't behave yourself you need to put them on ignore before you get yourself into trouble". That's not the same as what you said.

I’d be curious to see what happens if the dems do happen to win and they get Biden in and then get 4 years of nothing....they will probably blame trump for the next 10 years but I honestly don’t see how someone can come in and make all their problems magically go away when they had 8 years beforehand and probably other democratic governments to fix the issues they have been screeching about.

They will spend all 4 years doing nothing but litigating every single Trump cabinet member, supporter, appointee, close acquaintance, birthday party attendee, saw him at a rally, clicked 'like' on a tweet, were in the same city, visited one of his hotels (even just to take a dump), or was called by anyone within 5 miles of the white house.

That's all. It would be 100% trump people trials, all the time.

Then they would say "We need 4 MORE years because some of those people had kids during that time and we gotta go get them nazis as well!"

The comments section runs the gamut from sensible to blaming Obama (lol) to evangelical power fantasy. The movie no longer shows up in my list for new movies, so maybe Netflix is reacting by pulling it from common lists.
