the south we make fun of a lot due to certain behavior patterns of people there but it’s not as bad as it’s memed. there are a lot of nice parts, lot of outdoor activities and really good food

deep south is still pretty meh especially if you’re of a certain demographic though, unfortunately

Is this supposed to be a convincing argument? Pedos can go find content that sexualizes little girls even more?

Probably worth pointing out that religious conservatives were called prudes for sounding the alarm on the sexualization of society decades ago.

They were prudes back then, because what you're leaving out is sounding the alarm on the sexualization of society also included oppressing gay people and shaming women for having a sexuality.

It's very possible for past conservatives to have been prudes and for some pieces of media to be going too far.

That’s not even an argument I’m making really. At least not the main one. Fact is, there is actual content those people can and do consume. This movie doesn’t really have anything for them.

And yes, this movie is related broadly to repressive conservative culture vs liberal democratic society with a goal of equality. The fact that it’s mostly men who have an issue with the movie is pretty telling. It’s all about controlling females and policing what they do. Hip hop dancing and fashion decisions may offend your weak sensibilities, likely because you feel aroused and feel hatred at yourself which you then direct externally (usually at women), but they aren’t yours to control. Girls being suspended for wearing a tank top to school and other pointless “dress code violations” because they “are distracting to the boys,” or angry school administrators yelling at kids hip hop dancing at the Prom (or dancing like that evil satanic sexy dancing Elvis - this shit’s been going on a longtime) are examples of social repression targeting women. This movie broadly addresses that. Again, I think that’s why women see it very different from men (who seem to have very big opinions and want to be heard and gain control over the situation without having even watched it).

You'll find more child sexual exploitation on TikTok than you ever would from this Netflix movie.

That is a low comparision.

You're boarderlining on , you will find more instances of family seperation under Obama.

One does not make the other right. I hate those arguments.

somewhere in there is an asian child sex exploitation and asian spyware mashup joke.

It's been well-documented that pedophiles have played a significant role in the development of various "online trends" that pervade things like Vine, YouTube, and TikTok. There's countless online "challenges" that involve young people getting naked, giving themselves pain, and being overtly sexual.

Not a good example. Obama and Trump both separated families. TikTok has actual examples of exploitation, this movie has literally none.

Just because you don’t think girls should be allowed to choose what clothes they wear or how they dance doesn’t mean there is “exploitation” going on. The lack of control you have over women is what makes you feel anger and hatred at this movie. Not actual exploitation. That’s just your cover story.

I don't disagree. I just hate the one liners of well X was worse and thats my stand. That somehow makes Y better.
