The main reason I'm uncomfortable with this is because it's bad to sexualize kids, and in making a movie where you sexualize kids to say it's bad, you've still done exactly that. Like, if you have a rape scene in a movie, that's including a shitty thing as subject matter but she's not actually being raped. If you have a movie about women being exploited the women aren't necessarily being exploited in making that movie. In this case though, you're actually doing the thing that you are criticizing, and saying "Yeah but I'm criticizing it" isn't a get out of jail free card.
So in this case, it becomes more effective the more you sexualize the girls, but you are still sexualizing the girls, so you have to play a fine balance between sending the message you want to send, and making pedo fap material.
I think Cuties went too far in that regard, and could have made some smarter choices about how to make the movie.
ok i got u, i just disagree. i think doing the bad to show its bad is ok in this case. if there were naked girls to show a pedo scene, i'd be all in your camp.
and for an example in the show Outlander Capt jack randal rapes a young boy, and the show puts it on screen. i find that abhorrent.

Sorry fam. It is an issue for straight men.
Don't be jelly that the gays are just more based than you.
sexualizing teens, yup, i agree. thats an issue for straight and gay men. sexualizing young girls who are preteens, thats a female problem not a male one.
your best argument thusfar is the one guy pulling levers in a control room who's likely a pedo is more of a driving force than the 300 moms in attendance. weak sauce broski
