Netflix "Cuties" Backlash

[Mystic Wanderer]

I respect your analysis of the show, and I understand what you are saying, but why do we need a movie of young girls who had to be exploited live in front of a stage full of people making the movie (and then the world), doing some "adult" things? Shouldn't parents already know to talk to their daughters about such things?

I have a problem with the parents who allowed their child to be in this movie. You know they had to be groomed and  exploited during certain scenes.  I think they allowed their child to be used to gain fame and money, and that's the problem I have with this.

Even back when I was that age (long before the time of music videos, etc.) pre-teen girls were doing the same. When my younger sister was that age she was sneaking out with 20 year old men that SHE pursued! I ended up breaking my best friend's nose over it for helping her sneak out! I tried to tell my mother but she wouldn't believe me.

Nowdays young girls are even worse, and look at all that is on the internet to teach them. Parents haven't got a clue what their little princesses are watching online and then trying to re-create in real life! In my opinion the movie is a wake up call to the parents of these girls.

Parents you think your little princess would never dress or act like that? WRONG!

I guess I grew up under different circumstances. I was the youngest of my siblings. My parents kept us home and we went to church every Sunday. I had friends, but sex was the last thing on my mind at that age. It just wasn't something discussed in my circle of friends, not at age 11. Maybe that's why I'm having such a hard time relating to this movie.

The other thing with this move that is concerning is when pedophiles watch it, and you can be certain they will, it will whet their appetite and cause many more abductions.

Sorry, but I just don't see anything good coming from this movie. As I said, if you (parents in general) care about your kids, you'll have this conversation with them without throwing this shit up on the screen. Today is different than when I grew up, so it's a much needed conversation between parent and child.

Now, let me add, my mother never had this conversation with me. Times were different back then. Sex wasn't discussed... period.
But, as I said, we were taught in church to have high morals and live a clean and descent life, so I think most parents back then (where I grew up) didn't feel the need to have "the discussion".

I don't think I'm articulating my thoughts very well, I'm going all over the place in my mind, so I'll just stop now.

I don't mean to sound judgemental against anyone else who disagrees with me; it's just my personal background, and my personal opinion. Others have had different experiences, so they will have different opinions about this movie.
