What being a man or a woman has to do with the thoughts on this movie/behavior is beyond me.

Honestly that argument makes me think the OP is the ultimate mega-simp looking for women to define morality for him.

But I will say the movie just looks bad, kids are so uninteresting.

Idk man. I feel like millenials were talked about that way too with texting and online messaging. We turned out alright. Gen Z will prolly have different priorities, but I think things will turn out fine.

I'm not bothered by social-media as much as the use of tablets to occupy children. At least back in my day you would at least learn to read if you were playing a video game.

Grooming isnt an issue at all in the gay male community?

There's a line you can cross where "they showed the problem and said the problem was bad" goes overboard, even if the ultimate message is that it's bad.

Like, I really like the movie American Psycho, and read the book, and I while I didn't really like the book I don't think it was a problem that it was made.

I think this went over that line. You can make a film about how sexualizing children is bad without making it so explicit. I'm just putting my opinion out there. I think this needed to be toned back a few steps.

imo if it was toned back it wouldnt have gotten any traction, and the message of sexualizing young girls wouldnt have been pushed as far to the forefront.

is that not the argument made by liberals for violent or property damaging protests? blocking highways, burning state buildings, smashing windows, etc. eventually a problem gets to a level and must be addressed, if it makes people uncomfortable GOOD. i'd rather do that through media than stopping people getting to work. "its different tho", yeah yeah, i get it. i hear the GOP say that about kneelers, "it's different". the crowd in hte movie was visibly uncomfortable, the audience in their homes is uncomfortable, seems successful in making a lasting point.

in Irréversible, a french film, Monica Belluci is anally raped for 2 straight minutes of screen time, then brutally beat into unconsciousness. its one of the most vivid memories of my life and legitimately changed who i acted towards women.

We don't have this weird fetishization for young boys like straight people do for young girls. Our community is all about the barely-legal 18-year-old kicked out of home with no father figure or place to go, whereas y'all into 7-year-old girls in full fantasy mode.

We have so much to learn from your kind

wut. gay pedos exist, straight pedos exist, both are rare by percent.

the wide majority of straight men are into barely legal women as a fetish the same as the gays. maybe u could dial back a few years, to like 16 if we're being generous, but i dont think gay men look at a 16 y.o. boy and say YUCK. puberty is puberty, that's the signal, not voting age.

I mean I'm not sure if there's actual statistics here but a high percent of pedophile men that iv seen in the news be it local or national are didling little boys.

I have to assume these are homosexuals.
