Sexualisation of very young girls - US style

[firstfloor]

Well, if we can’t watch an eight year old dressing up, perhaps we could watch a couple of four year olds instead.

I wasn't following the discussion in the other thread, so I assumed this was just another one of "her" anti-America propaganda threads.

And her opening post suggests that she was actually expecting us to defend prepubescent beauty pageants.

I'm safe. I don't have NetFlix.

So you are writing about something of which you have no direct experience?

This thread was to point out that the USA is guilty of over-sexualising and exploiting very young girls.

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

It pretty much is, just one created for whataboutism over the outrage on "Cuties"

What is your view of the Netflix film? Or is that another question like the one neo-fascism that you will simply ignore?

My view on a french film would seem to be irrelevant to your thread, if you wanted this thread to talk about child beauty pagents in the US.

The thread is about child exploitation and the hyper-sexualisation of extremely young girls, all of which are encapsulated in the US phenomenon of Toddler Beauty Pageants

Don't watch the beauty contests, have no interest in "cuties"

I wonder why you bothered to post on this thread then.

Given the outrage expressed by some contributors to a French coming age film that deals with a young girl on the cusp of puberty, as well as condemnation of the French "perverts" sexualising young girls [the main character is played by a 14 year old actress].

I wonder what many here think of the sexualisation of very little girls for US Beauty Pageants where the desire for prizes in the form of money, cars, holidays etc, leads parents to turn their toddlers into travesties of Dolly Parton or Mylie Cyrus.

More leftist filth. Y'all really enjoy that, don't you? (go look up what happens with the leftist LGBT scene wrt kids cross-dressing and stripping at LGBT bars, for some more leftist filth)

Would have thought JonBenet Ramsay would have been a wakeup call all those years before, but the left can't resist degeneracy.

Well, i've been watching the debate. And it's always interesting to watch you go through some whataboutism.

Cuties’ Sparks a Firestorm, Again, After Its Netflix Release
.

The film, which was released as “Mignonnes” in France and won a directing award from the Sundance Instituteinterview with Netflixhas said

An IMDb parents’ guide rates the film’s sex and nudity as “severe.” Several scenes show young girls dancing suggestively in short outfits.

The linked scene depicts children dancing provocatively, but it doesn't do so approvingly. The audience is overwhelmingly opposed, and to note the former without noting the latter is to damn the film by misrepresentation, as further noted in the comments.
.

Okay if you actually watched this movie you’d know that a few more seconds in, the main character suddenly begins crying and has an epiphany where she realizes she is throwing away her childhood. She runs off stage, goes home, and the movie ends w her jumping rope and being a kid

On those who judge a film they have not seen and will not see, I have my own judgment. But that judgment is instead based on what I am seeing, right now.

Absolutely children live what they learn.

And in the scene at the end of the film where the girls perform their dance routine for the competition you see the audience and the judges becoming more disconcerted at it.

Amy stops half way though, leaves the stage, and returns home to her mother [the other plot line revolves around what is happening In Amy's personal life]. I recommend it as a very good film.

More leftist filth.

Are Beauty Pageants like the Little Miss Texas pageant "leftist filth"?

(go look up what happens with the leftist LGBT scene wrt kids cross-dressing and stripping at LGBT bars, for some more leftist filth)

I regret that I do not share your interest in such matters.

And Texas which has brought the indictment against Netflix is home to such a pageant that promotes and glamorises the hyper-sexualisation of very young girls [including toddlers].
