Cuties

[Harbal]

It is indoctrination. We are indoctrinated by society to act in certain ways which offer us "meaning." We sacrifice our calling to objective meaning by adopting the subjective meanings of the world we live in. Plato called it living in Plato's cave.

Well in this instance, it seems we have been indoctrinated positively. All the comments here express a distaste for it, and reading a bit of the article , there is also a wider public condemnation of it. It should also be remembered that the makers of the film claim that “ Cuties is a social commentary against the sexualization of young children.” I'm guessing you don't believe them.

well, I ain't shy: the critics are shills...they live and breath inside the pockets of famous folks...like good dogs, they fetch on command...they'll even turn a blind eye to china's slave racket, to the slaver industry, to child rapers, if it keeps 'em in the good graces of well-heeled shitbags...another set of useful idiots who'll get theirs, eventually

I remember my first trip back to the US, from the UK, after a long absence having left as a child. It was about 1980, and remember seeing a Jordache Jeans advert on TV in which pre-pubescent girls covered in make-up were parading like $100 hookers. A paedos dream.
I suppose the UK advertising authority would have thought it tasteless, as there was nothing of the kind in the UK.
Don't get me wrong - I am not in any sense prudish. I just thought this was f*cking insane. Let kids have a bloody childhood. Don't groom them for abuse.

I think it's tasteless, but I don't know if it has any adverse effects on the kids who appear in such shows, or on the kids who watch them. I have no idea why an adult would watch such utter crap.

Who was it that said "the only difference between art and porn is the lighting. Cuties is a child porn movie calling itself art to make money. Watch the final dance scene. Is it art or child porn? Why is everyone cheering? What is wrong with it? If you do feel something is wrong with it, is it because you've been indoctrinated or is their something objectively wrong which you still are able to feel?

I haven't seen the film but I assume it's the style of dancing that you are offended by (started in the US). Blame the internet.

Not sure why any man would watch it then if he's scared it will turn him into a misopaed.

No I don't believe them. This reminds me of the BLM question. Does it lead to racial equality or it just a means for promoting marxism and the loss of liberty? Cuties is the same. If society is aware of what it does and disproves in public while approving in private all that happens is more acts of pedophelia. Consider the lyrics from the title song of the movie:

It's so hard to turn your life over
Step out of your comfort zone
It's so hard to choose one direction
When your future is unknown
Is this some kind of a joke, will someone wake me up soon?
And tell me this was just a game we played, called life.
Are we, are we all really slaves?
By the hands of ourselves
Did I really make all of those mistakes?
Am I really getting older?
Then why do I feel so lost?
Is this some kind of a joke, will someone wake me up soon?
And tell me this was just a game we played, called life.
And at the end of the road, is there someone waiting?
Do I get a medal for surviving this long?
Is this some kind of a joke, will someone wake me up soon?
And tell me this was just a game we played, called life.
Is this some kind of a joke, will someone wake me up soon?
And tell me this was just a game we played, called life.

Society has created a majority of young lost souls starved for meaning. We can admit the problem in public but cannot deal with it in private. All that happens is that through ignorance it gradually worsens and all the varieties of Lolita Island become more fashionable.

There are reasons why people sexually get off on 11 year old girls starved for meaning. There is no reason to condemn it without understanding why we do.

Is there anything more corrupt than Hollywood? The real question here is if the arts corrupt human nature or does human nature corrupt the arts?

Look to your own country and ask why anyone would want to follow such a sick crap-hole.

Oh, you are one of those who has been infected with the "commies are coming for me" virus. I understand there's a lot of that about in the USA. I don't know who is behind the campaign to scare the life out of you, but they are doing an excellent job.

Society has created a majority of young lost souls starved for meaning.

Well you say that, but what claim of special insight into the status of the souls of the majority of the young do you have to justify it?

I suppose there's a reason for everything, and if we don't happen to know the reason, we can always make one up that suits whatever story we want to tell.

Why ignore the larger question? Why is the world as a whole attracted to pornography? If we knew that, then we may understand the dynamics of child porn

Read the song lyrics. It is about young lost souls starved for meaning. We may be ignorant as to why it is so but does it do any good to make up reasons that make us feel good?

This is tragically incoherent.
WTF are they telling you on FOx News?
I suppose you think racial equality is "cultural marxism", or some other such meme driven phantom.

And was that song written collectively by the majority of the youth?
