Netflix deserves to be bashed over this and i have never seen a single other more clear reason to boycott something.
that for one movie to be a bit extreme just to point out to the shit that's going on
This movie is the shit thats going on. A bit extreme?
These are children on screen. This is not fiction, its actual children doing those things.
They are exploited by out of touch filmmakers for entertainment purposes.
the positive impact the movie can have on change will surely outweigh the negative one.
Jesus Christ. You keep on repeating that context to child exploitation matters, that its ok as long as they have a nice message.
Wtf!
Sexualizing children is never ok for no purpose.
I admit I only watched the trailer and realize that may not have included all scenes and sexualization you seem to know about. If it was a documentary do you think as many people would watch it? Wouldn't a documentary also need child actresses?
Just because they went with a movie doesn't need to be about entertainment purposes alone, why do you think that's the main purpose of it?
Without this movie we wouldn't even be talking about everything else going on in the world where children don't even have a choice in the matter are being abused and exploited like beauty pageants. Why not focus on that? It's been ongoing on platforms like Tiktok for years even when they were still called musically and the only time people finally stand up to go against tiktok is when they realize their data is being monitored and sold to the chinese. Doesn't that sound wrong to you? Kids of all ages without context or a professional film crew with a message following clout and doing whatever it takes while tiktok is filled with pedophiles taking it all in yet here we are trying to boycott netflix for having the balls to showcase the issues of social media pushing sexualization in children.
Hey I get that sexualization children in any shape or form should not be okay but let's not shoot the messenger and ignore everything else and somehow make it all about netflix just to chase clout which is what was my issue with this post.
Movies are made for entertaintment purpose. Theyre entertainment. Every movie has a message. The last avengers is about self sacrifice.
Documentaries are whats made for educational purposes.
So they exploited children to raise awareness about exploiting children?
These actors didnt have a choice either. Their parents pimped them out to the movie producers.
These kids sat in closed rooms for auditions dancing like strippers for those sick fucks.
Lets not shoot the distributor of child exploitation that profits from it?
Netfix are complicit to this. They deserve all the hate they get.
I haven't watched the movie so I'm not certain on the message, maybe it helps parents make better decisions, maybe it doesn't. Maybe the people who made the movie had the wrong intentions, maybe they didn't. Do you honestly think that netflix would agree to this if and defend it if they thought it had more of a negative impact than a positive one? Maybe someone there deserves to get fired and maybe these people who filmed this movie are "sick fucks", but maybe we should focus on what can be done to decrease child exploitation that isn't in everyone's face but is still happening to this day and increasing in traffic. I read recently some guy who got busted with two digit terabytes of child porn, imagine the sheer amount of that and what else there might exist on the internet with 99% never getting caught and the effects it has on the children. Now obviously that's a different issue compared to this but there's still a very growing problem and concern of what is going on in social media. Take a look at r/creepydms, there's submissions daily of random creeps dm'ing children with sexual intentions and I bet only a small percentage of them speak up and only a small percentage of the adults are dumb enough to attempt that while most hide in the shadows or behind a lot of money and protection. Maybe we should boycott hollywood and the dark web while at it instead of focusing all our attention at netflix this one time and ignore the rest.
This feels more like wanting to boycott sex ed cause they're showing children genitals than actually getting to the root of the issue and the main distributors that have close to zero oversight of what is going on on their platforms.
Those are related. They aren't separate issues. I would say a lot of the recent Hollywood and Epstein scandals made this a sensitive issue.
Ya, maybe focus the attention on the right issue and not some random people trying to explain the story of someone affected by it to raise it attention and netflix making the controversial decision that they'll support this story for the benefit of the cause.
but nah, these pedo's and netflix just wanted some quick money and want to turn the whole world into pedos bro, they're probably selling the addition tapes too LOL Hurr durr #cancelnetflix and it'll solve everything give me autovotes for my 2 links so I can earn an income from 40 different sites. Fuck you for thinking about this from any other perspective you pedophile, downvoting my content means you're defending sexualisation of children!!! /s
Altruism doesn't sell.
While you joke, don't be surprised that one day those tapes do show up on the darker side of the internet. Production teams are composed of individual members too.
It's one thing to disagree with the rewards. Although, I don't find this particular one overrewareded, per se. Idk much about this particular content creator, but wasn't he censored by YouTube, etc. at one point?
I'm all for canceling nfx. But not specifically for this.
It just doesn't make any sense to pay anyone for the privilege of being brainwashed with propaganda.
I'd much rather get my propaganda for free.
I believe that at some point in the near future, studios will pay subscribers.
I mean, you know, free-speech and all that, but we really should vote with our dollars.
if only there were more important issues going on in the world we should be focusing on to improve
