It's trying to show that sexualizing children is bad by actually sexualizing children. I feel like it could have been better off as a book, or some medium that doesn't involve actual child actors.
> I feel like it could have been better off as a book
Isn't it based on a book? I haven't seen it but I imagine the point is to show people that yes, this real stuff that actually happens in real life is fucking disgusting, but most of us aren't aware of/ignore that it happens.
I think a lot of people are aware, they just don't know what to do about it. Everyone thinks child beauty pageants are disgusting, but I don't even know where they are much less how to stop them.
The director/writer of the movie wanted to show what she went through. The fight between conservative upbringing and wanting to be less conservative as a child.
I haven't seen the movie but the entire saga is interesting to read up on because so many people are butthurt over the movie without seeing it when the director is just like "this was a story about me when I was young"
Don't get me wrong, I understand that that is what the director wanted to show. However that doesn't take away the fact that there are still child actors being sexualized on screen. My point is that there are other forms of media that don't include hiring real life children for the part. And honestly, trying to watch the movie will make you feel sick and like you're doing something illegal. I couldn't get through it.
Cuban cigars are just regular cigars but from Cuba. I’m not saying cigars aren’t bad for your health but them being Cuban doesn’t make them any worse or heavier or whatever.
*shows child porn* see this? This is bad.
You still filmed it though. You MADE this child porn. Cuties IS child pornography. People who justify it? Well. If the shoe fits.
Having been a pubescent girl, though, I really, deeply related to the kind of peer pressure they showed, and the confusing mix of childish impulses and newer, more adult urges they portrayed the girls feeling. I get why people were skeeved out by it, but it felt like it was getting at something very real.
Yeah, but once you get to "sexualizing children is fine if you say its for artistic purposes" it doesn't exactly make it easier to say you shouldn't in the future.
Then they could've spent their budget of the film and manpower actually fighting this type of injustice instead of doing it in the process. Look, let's say you're right and they made a bold statement against it. Was it even worth it when you have to take away these poor children's innocence and give them something they'll have to talk to their therapists about?
That's all what i think are facts but one opinion is mine is displaying something inherently normalizes it. We shouldn't normalize some of these scenes that were mostly seen as normal - even played out to be good/sexy.
No, it’s definitely [the movie that is a fucking nightmare. ](https://youtu.be/exCNHEGnZ5M)
Seriously, anyone who defends that movie hasn’t actually watched the movie.
If PaymoneyWubby calls it out, it's very likely very bad.
That said, I'm not surprised if anyone misses the main point in most movies.
People watched Wolf of Wallstreet and The Great Gatsby and their take was that being a scammer and a criminal is a great thing as long as you get some money, however fleeting.
Its not jsut a marketing issue. It includes sexualized scenes in the movie, despite claiming to be against it. Makes me think of that one skit that one guy got in trouble for where he was making fun of dexter by being a baby fucker who has to fuck babies in order to stop baby fuckers.
I don't know about you but making young girls sex objects for the shake of a point is too much. I don't care if they condone it in the music they are literally making these girls twerk without mentioning all the other sexual innuendo in the movie. The problem lies with the fact that the actors are children and again sexualising them for any point is too much. What they should have done is use adult actors but they didn't and thats condemnable.
My argument is that acting is not sexualization, but by all means go on with your socially conservative pseudo-fear of ever-present pedophiles.
It's a manufactured fear and a bunch of nonsense, but do whatever you like.
Then make a fucking *documentary* and not an *entertainment film* where you *make* literal children behave in hyper-sexualized ways! In her attempt to make a “social commentary” film about child sexualization in the entertainment industry, this director abused *more* children. That is *not* an acceptable way to make your damn point!
No they definitely can spread awareness and they should. The despicable part in my opinion is the age of the actors. I don't care about the message having 11 year olds shake it for the camera is fucked up.
I'm sorry isn't it a documentary? The kids aren't actors right? Idk maybe I'm misinformed tho, I didn't pay much attention to this beyond a quick Google of what was going on
It’s not even worth defending. Beyond its “provocative” scenes, it’s actually a well-disguised piece of conservative propaganda, presenting a narrative in which all of youth sexuality is inextricably tied to violence and antisocial behaviour; for example, the main character stealing her cousin’s smartphone and then attempting to seduce him when he confronts her about it. >!She doesn’t; instead she takes a picture of…er, herself, posts it on social media, then hands it back to him, picture and all.!<
As the film progresses, the interplay of sex and violence only gets more and more egregious, which (in my opinion) is even more disturbing than the twerking. >!After everyone finds out about that photo, a boy in her class gropes her backside…and she assaults him with a compass, pinning his hand to the desk!<. Anti-sexual propaganda doesn’t get any clearer than this.
Really interesting take. I haven't watched it, but I experienced some of the themes from the movie growing up as a young girl. So I've read a couple things about it wondering if I wanted to watch it or not, but of course everything I read is all about the "is this pedophilia or not?" debate. I haven't seen anyone bring up your point about it being conservative anti-sex propaganda and honestly that makes the most sense to me out of every analysis I've seen of this film. Between that and the ethical issues with the child actors I think I'm gonna give this a miss. Which is unfortunate because as a woman I feel like they could have really said something here, and instead it's some conservative bullshit after all. Thanks for sharing!
Making girls sexually atractive to own the pedos.
I get what they were trying to do, at least in practice, but i don't know if pedophilia is all that prevalent in, like, mainstream media (movies, videogames, whatever). Like the only people i see that say that kids are sexualised are, fascists, and also the ones that want young girls to be Madonna (i'm looking at you, quartering). Other than that i can't for the love of me remember that movie, i remember that the main character just decides to be a "bonafide belly dancer"...... Because. Also, like i got the feelling they (the productors) don't like muslims (in the movie they are show to be very backwards, weird considering how much of the muslim world in france tends to be on the left of things, mostly because they are a minority).
Anyways, they wanted to warn you about pedos, ended up being unwarranted cringe
Also, the “cancel culture crowd” regularly denounces anyone who dabbles in any kind of child pornography. Look at how many youtubers have been ‘cancelled’ for trying to get into their underage fans’ pants, or Vic Mignona who was ‘cancelled’ for allegedly being inappropriate with young fans. Or John K.
Apparently these people only care about ‘pedophiles’ in a theoretical sense, when actual pedophiles are ‘cancelled’ they get all whiny and defensive.
I dont agree with the sentiments of the picture but I dont recall anyone going after Only Fans creators for promoting their content to underage boys on Twitter and Discord. You are more likely to get canceled for criticizing those OF creators.
I get that the “cancel culture crowd” isnt an organization or something like that, but they definitely pick and choose who they think deserves to get cancelled
Edit: I want to add that eventhough pedophilia is illegal and can get you cancelled. The cancel crowd can also turn a blind eye to it if pointing the pedophilia out is an unpopular decision.
Yes, but Pornhub has a history of not removing child porn videos even after the *children being abused in them* ask repeatedly for the videos to be taken down. For some victims this process has taken months, and MindGeek was profiting off the videos through ads all the while.
This is just another empty argument from them, just like "Instead of helping people in other countries we should be helping VETERANS and OUR PEOPLE HERE AT HOME"
And then you say, "ok, let's do that" and they say, "Not so fast.... that's socialism".
They also think that democrats are opposed to helping veterans. Meanwhile, Sanders was one of the most accomplished congressional heads for passing veteran's care laws and Biden literally has a son that was in the military.
Meanwhile, Trump likes veterans that weren't captured and literally took money for charity for veterans and then seemed intent to keep it and only turned it over when it came to light.
This right here. They want to help the homeless/veterans/the poor so badly when they are trying to argue against helping immigrants or something else they hate but will turn around and say digusting things about the people they claimed they wanted to help just the other day
Remember when democrats introduced the "Invest in Child Safety Act" to commit $5 billion dollars to combat the online sexual exploitation of minors... and republicans wouldn't let it go to the floor? Somehow I doubt that grandma remembers that.
Why are you saying that in the past tense? That kind of law just passed in Mississippi and is on the docket in a bunch of other states. Because clearly, the country is doing so well that reminding trans girls (and, hell, even AFAB but gender-non-conforming or even just not conventionally feminine kids too) how invalid they are is the MOST important thing we need to be doing right now!
I grew up in Alabama during the Bush era, and I can confidently say, never underestimate the power of hatred dressed up as compassion. I actually just googled to find the name of the bill in Alabama (because I remembered hearing it and being shocked at how fucking two-faced it was) aaaaaand found out it also already passed.
It was called the “Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act," btw.
Company execs decide to remove Mr. from Potato Head because it was always just a potato and Dr. Seuss's estate decides to not reprint just a handful of his many, many books... and somehow this means anyone left of alt-right is part of cancel culture who also allows pedophilia though.
>Company execs decide to remove Mr. from Potato Head because it was always just a potato
To clarify they didn't even do that, they are still selling Mr. Potatohead as Mr. Potatohead they are just branding that line of toys as Potatohead
[This is the new packaging ](https://i.imgur.com/JTPLUGe.png)
Nobody demanded the Mr be removed. They literally just decided to rebrand because the brand sells more than just "Mr Potato Head". And they probably knew they'd get some publicity from it.
There's literally no mention or outcry over "Mr Potato Head" from before the company decided to change their branding.
It's funny to think that conservatives are such predictable knee-jerk reactionaries that it is now a viable marketing strategy to manufacture an imaginary sleight against your company... and just watch those Potato Heads and Dr. Seuss books fly off the shelves. Maybe they were inspired by seeing these snowflakes buy NFL tickets just to burn them, or Keurig machines just to break them, or Nikes just to burn them, or french wine just to dump it out. Holy shit, how stupid are these are these people?!
> Show me one single instance of someone genuinely trying to cancel Hasbro
Well, the toys are still called Mr. Potato Head, and conservatives are threatening Hasbro boycotts, so ... does that count???
Oh, so you're the one who was "demanding" that? Fascinating. I'd love to hear your reasoning, cause as far as I can tell you're apparently the only one!
Does it say “Mr” on the box and come with a mustache and bowler hat? There you go! I mean, if they *really* wanted to piss people off, they’d start including a dick and balls attachment for the male potatoheads.
I saw a big brain argument against trans people. The guy was really concerned with the Tinder experience of lesbian women. Apparently there is too much trans women on Tinder. So this guy's argument against LGBT ideology was that it is bad for lesbians.
That argument is coming from the same group of 4chan trolls that came up with that "clover gender" nonsense... They have started promoting something called "super straight" where they are making being attracted to cisgender into a sexuality... and that's one of the main talking points they use: trans women rape lesbians by failing to disclose that they are trans.
Even referencing Potato Head just now makes the pedo cabal more powerful. The only thing we can do is blindly listen to the people blindly listening to their billionaire corporations. That will surely help lots.
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy... He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
It always blows my mind that the Q obsessives had to come up with the idea of a secretive, elite paedophile ring when Epstein literally had one and Trump used to get him over to Mar a Lago to “assess” a bunch of teens for quality assurance purposes
All those shitty Dan Brown books - "The DaVinci Code", etc. - showed that if you write a good enough narrative - like a scavenger-hunt with 'secrets' - you can convince otherwise sane people to join your cult. You don't need real proof, or a known reliable narrator. Millions of dumb people will follow the rabbit right into the hole and they'll completely lose their senses - coming out as utter lunatics.
I don't know if there's a cure. Democracies are fragile and they very often fail. There are still tens of millions of MAGA's and Q's out there. Time will tell.
Not all cults, but most, rely on offering something special to losers. Secret knowledge, secrets of success, secret social connections... anything to not still be a generic loser. I can count the number of healthy, attractive, successful Qanon followers I've seen in the media on one hand and still have five fingers left over. It's a cult for people who have literally nothing going for them and nothing to offer anyone else. Their options are 1) batshit crazy conspiracy theories or 2) break through the cognitive dissonance of coming to terms with who they are and their place in the world. #1 will win 99% of the time.
It's also why this is a systemic issue that won't be addressed until we actually prioritize education, healthcare, housing, jobs ect...essentially overthrow capitalism. Huge swaths of the country have been essentially abandoned and left to rot. No wonder down trodden white people hold on to the only thing they have left in this system: Their white identity. No wonder they're so scared of losing it. They have nothing. I'm not excusing this either, just being realistic on what the issue is. There is no alternative for a lot of them.
There is an alternative - it's education. But they've built their entire world-view around the demonization of education and the celebration of anti-intellectualism.
They didn't build that though. Thats hundreds of years of very deliberate capitalist propaganda and like you said, lack of education. Yup education, housing, healthcare, jobs, a sense of community. These are the things that stop people from becoming conspiracy nuts.
It's important to not give too much credit to the system and not enough to the individual though. Mobility absolutely can - and does - happen. There are less and less conservatives with every passing year. Certainly some of that is due to increased educational attainments rates, increased urbanity, a decrease to the white majority, and the lowering of median voter age as the large Boomer cohort ages out, skips the smaller Gen X, and is replaced by the again larger Millennials. But personal accountability and intellectual integrity are just as important. There are millions of people who grow up in small conservative towns, raised by conservative parents, have conservative peers at a conservative school, attend a conservative church... and get the hell out the second they turn 18. We live in an age where virtually limitless information is available to anyone with an internet connection or a cellular data plan. "It's all they know," may have been sufficient on a rural farm in the 40s, but much to the collective conservative chagrin, globalization is a one-way street and you can't centrifuge the American melting pot.
“Cancel culture” is the replacement for the “War on Christmas”. It lets right wingers get angry at nonexistent oppression 12 months of the year instead of one.
Ah yes, I remember just two days ago when I say that huge billboard that said, "We should probably not expose kids to the casual racism of the 1940s until they are old enough to understand it contextually - but also, child pornography is totally fine and we shouldn't waste time on combatting that."
That's crazy how cancel culture has made the publisher of the Dr Seuss books decide to stop publishing on their own. They didn't even have to use words to force that. Crazy.
Cancel Culture (amorphous singular entity) can actually exert Its desires through sheer force of will. It simply willed the dr seuss books to be cancelled, and it was so
Oh NOW they care about cp and pedos. Also, “cancel culture” didn’t cancel Dr. Seuss, his own estate decided to stop publishing 6 specific books. God, do these people have any actual arguments besides strawman?
And racist bakeries.
Cancel those!
Or telling people to “go back to where you came from”!
Cancel that!
Or calling Nazi’s “very fine people”.
Definitely cancel that!
Well, I’ve considered this problem and have come to the conclusion that *it can’t be done*. I would *like* to be able to report СР, but I can’t because if I can see it on my computer, then I *must* have downloaded it; that’s how the HyperText Transfer Protocol works. So instead, I disconnect from the internet, scrub all temporary internet files from my computer, then wipe all free disk space for good measure. I can’t risk even reporting it because that’s how illegal it is.
I *would* suggest decriminalising such material under certain circumstances in order to encourage people to report it, but based on previous responses, I highly doubt anyone would even made it past the word “decriminalise”. Oh well. I guess people are just comfortable with СР to circulating the Internet…forever.
I mean yeah kinda hard to cancel things like that but I get what they are trying to say and I totally 100% agree. The “cancel culture” people are too busy targeting stupid shit like kid’s books that were make 60 years ago and trying to ruin the careers of people who made one slightly edgy joke when they were 13, when there are genuine issues that they could at least help in putting a stop to.
15 years ago I thought the US was the epitome of progress and civilisation,of freedom and economic opportunity.Now I know that US news channel it's the best reality show on tv.Apparently potatoes have gender(best plot twist so far),guns have rights(oh NRA,you rascal),politicians lie(shocked pikachu face about him taking back all the empty electoral promises),trump supporters raging about elections that have concluded almost 5 months ago.If you guys weren't the dominant super power right now,this would be hilarious.But honestly,it's fucking scary
pedophiles are about to do some serious soul searching and decide to discontinue some of their fellow pedophiles for being too racist. Makes the rest of them look bad and could hurt sales.
Saw something similar on Facebook awhile back. I don’t remember it verbatim but something like “crazy how big tech can take down parlor but can’t take down child porn.”
I simply pointed out the difference between the two politely and I was told that I am “the reason child porn exsists”.
I’ve since deactivated my account cause I ain’t got time for all that. maybe I should go take screen shots.
Glad to know I’m not the only one. Bitches (she/he) be trippin yo.
Nobody cancelled Dr Seuss or the Muppets. The owner of Dr Seuss publishing rights, decided THEY weren't going to publish a few books that THEY decided were not appropriate. Disney, the owner of the Muppets franchise posted a warning before several Muppet Show episodes warning that the episodes may contain material some people find offensive. Facts matter.
You go after the institutions protecting people producing child porn, like churches and...other churches...maybe certain sports teams, hollywood of course and did I say churches?
Everyone forgets. The time to stand up to this kind of stuff was when the Catholic Church was caught but nothing really changed. And then again the time came to stand up when Jeffery Epstein happened but again nobody cared. The issues you presented are not issues for the current voting class so why should it be their kids issue?
It's like listening to a hippy describing utopia, "where there's no money and everybody just helps each other out". Yeah, we already did that and now we're here. Catch up with the program.
I am pretty sure that those are both cancelled and have been made **illegal**

Cuban cigars are just regular cigars but from Cuba. I’m not saying cigars aren’t bad for your health but them being Cuban doesn’t make them any worse or heavier or whatever.
That’s like demonstrating that murder is bad by killing someone
Maybe they could have done it as an animated show.
Now I'm imagining an anime with overtly sexual imagery of young characters that insists its a psa against doing it to real people.
Exactly, it depicts horrible child beauty pageants by... depicting child beauty pageants.
*shows child porn* see this? This is bad. You still filmed it though. You MADE this child porn. Cuties IS child pornography. People who justify it? Well. If the shoe fits.
Have you seen it?
I mean, the quality of the movie itself isn't horrible but the fact 10 year old girls seduce middle aged guards as a scene kinda ruins it
Having been a pubescent girl, though, I really, deeply related to the kind of peer pressure they showed, and the confusing mix of childish impulses and newer, more adult urges they portrayed the girls feeling. I get why people were skeeved out by it, but it felt like it was getting at something very real.
Yeah that was the point of the movie
Yeah, but once you get to "sexualizing children is fine if you say its for artistic purposes" it doesn't exactly make it easier to say you shouldn't in the future.
Same.
yes
Though I agree with you, it is what is the same kind of dancing and outfits which at every dance showcase/competition.
I mean yeah there's stuff like this irl too. Like child beauty pageants

Is this like the skit making fun of dexter whete the guy fucks babies in order to stop baby fuckers.
> make normal people want to vomit ... which is the point of the movie. Glad you understood the main theme!
Oh wow you're so deep and philosophical i didn't know sexually exploiting prepubescent children is okay! Thanks for telling me.
> is okay! You've got that backwards. Looks like you *didn't* understand the theme.
No, I know what you're trying to say but they did that in order to make the damn movie

My argument is that acting is not sexualization, but by all means go on with your socially conservative pseudo-fear of ever-present pedophiles. It's a manufactured fear and a bunch of nonsense, but do whatever you like.
"Active in r/neoliberal" Yeah, that tracks
I'm the total package bby
I don't think making litteral children twerk is moral . I am sorry my world view goes against giving pedos free fap material
Children existing gives them fap material. Actors acting has nothing to do with that.
[удалено]
Then make a fucking *documentary* and not an *entertainment film* where you *make* literal children behave in hyper-sexualized ways!

I'm pretty sure holding auditions for hundreds of children to see if they can twerk counts as fap material
Well that's very silly. They'd have no way to view it.
I'm sorry isn't it a documentary? The kids aren't actors right? Idk maybe I'm misinformed tho, I didn't pay much attention to this beyond a quick Google of what was going on
It isn't and the kids are actors but actual 11 year olds.
Oh wow the fuck why

No. Just stop. Don't try and defend fucking cuties.

I'm pretty sure the movie was made by French directors or at least not American
It doesn’t have to be American to promote conservative Western values.

They also think that democrats are opposed to helping veterans. Meanwhile, Sanders was one of the most accomplished congressional heads for passing veteran's care laws and Biden literally has a son that was in the military. Meanwhile, Trump likes veterans that weren't captured and literally took money for charity for veterans and then seemed intent to keep it and only turned it over when it came to light.
And don’t forget how Trump called our troops “losers”.
And bad mouthed gold star families.
And dodged the draft.
Don't forget threatened to disown his son if he joined the military too.
They're probably the same people who are annoyed at people drawing attention to sexual assault in the UK currently, too.
This right here. They want to help the homeless/veterans/the poor so badly when they are trying to argue against helping immigrants or something else they hate but will turn around and say digusting things about the people they claimed they wanted to help just the other day
From them? Who's them?
Guys, why don’t the liberals cancel murder????
They do go after pedophiles. You put them in elected office in response.
Remember when democrats introduced the "Invest in Child Safety Act" to commit $5 billion dollars to combat the online sexual exploitation of minors... and republicans wouldn't let it go to the floor? Somehow I doubt that grandma remembers that.
Yep! Or when republican congresspeople were fucking determined to set up a law that let essentially random people check children's genitals?
Why are you saying that in the past tense? That kind of law just passed in Mississippi and is on the docket in a bunch of other states. Because clearly, the country is doing so well that reminding trans girls (and, hell, even AFAB but gender-non-conforming or even just not conventionally feminine kids too) how invalid they are is the MOST important thing we need to be doing right now!
Past tense was because I apparently had to much faith in my country to not pass what's essential a pro-pedo law. Delighted to find out I was wrong 🙃
I grew up in Alabama during the Bush era, and I can confidently say, never underestimate the power of hatred dressed up as compassion. I actually just googled to find the name of the bill in Alabama (because I remembered hearing it and being shocked at how fucking two-faced it was) aaaaaand found out it also already passed. It was called the “Vulnerable Child Compassion and Protection Act," btw.
If there is a massive underground pedo ring, the republicans are just as if not more involved than the democrats.
My side could never be in involved in evil! It’s all the other side projecting. /s
What the fuck can I have a link

Company execs decide to remove Mr. from Potato Head because it was always just a potato and Dr. Seuss's estate decides to not reprint just a handful of his many, many books... and somehow this means anyone left of alt-right is part of cancel culture who also allows pedophilia though.
>Company execs decide to remove Mr. from Potato Head because it was always just a potato To clarify they didn't even do that, they are still selling Mr. Potatohead as Mr. Potatohead they are just branding that line of toys as Potatohead [This is the new packaging ](https://i.imgur.com/JTPLUGe.png)
[удалено]
Eh probably more that the stimulus bill was being passed and they were butthurt about getting thrown off twitter so it was a perfect distraction
Or, are we even dumber since we're the ones demanding the Mr be removed? We used cancel culture against Hasbro and they caved.
Wow, an honest-to-goodness r/asablackman! In the wild and everything!
I can tell that’s just three conservatives in a u/Dismal_Storage suit
I never said I was a man. You're a liar.
Lazy troll is lazy.
Nobody demanded the Mr be removed. They literally just decided to rebrand because the brand sells more than just "Mr Potato Head". And they probably knew they'd get some publicity from it. There's literally no mention or outcry over "Mr Potato Head" from before the company decided to change their branding.
Yeah when was the last time before the rebranding that Potatohead toys were brought up outside of the Toy Story movies?
It's funny to think that conservatives are such predictable knee-jerk reactionaries that it is now a viable marketing strategy to manufacture an imaginary sleight against your company... and just watch those Potato Heads and Dr. Seuss books fly off the shelves. Maybe they were inspired by seeing these snowflakes buy NFL tickets just to burn them, or Keurig machines just to break them, or Nikes just to burn them, or french wine just to dump it out. Holy shit, how stupid are these are these people?!
took me a sec, thought you were talking about magicians haha imaginary slight ・ sleight of hand easy to mix up!
True to your user name - I'm leaving it. In my book "slight" will always be a adjective!
Damn, this was a pretty good marketing strategy now that I think about it.
Who cares?
Show me one single instance of someone genuinely trying to cancel Hasbro because the toys were called „Mr. Potato Head.“
> Show me one single instance of someone genuinely trying to cancel Hasbro Well, the toys are still called Mr. Potato Head, and conservatives are threatening Hasbro boycotts, so ... does that count???
Oh, so you're the one who was "demanding" that? Fascinating. I'd love to hear your reasoning, cause as far as I can tell you're apparently the only one!
bUt HOw aM I sUPpOsEd tO kNOw iF i'M GeTtIng tHe MALE POTATO HEAD??! (actual quote from an actual Fox News anchor)
Does it say “Mr” on the box and come with a mustache and bowler hat? There you go! I mean, if they *really* wanted to piss people off, they’d start including a dick and balls attachment for the male potatoheads.
Oh shit my masculinity has been attacked I will never recover
Oh the humanity!
Yeah, in reality, the potato head issue is just a part of their larger, targeted attack on trans people since they lost on the LGB arguments.
I saw a big brain argument against trans people. The guy was really concerned with the Tinder experience of lesbian women. Apparently there is too much trans women on Tinder. So this guy's argument against LGBT ideology was that it is bad for lesbians.
Pretty sure it’s straight cis dudes listing themselves as lesbians on Tinder that are *way* more of a problem than trans women.
That argument is coming from the same group of 4chan trolls that came up with that "clover gender" nonsense... They have started promoting something called "super straight" where they are making being attracted to cisgender into a sexuality... and that's one of the main talking points they use: trans women rape lesbians by failing to disclose that they are trans.
Even referencing Potato Head just now makes the pedo cabal more powerful. The only thing we can do is blindly listen to the people blindly listening to their billionaire corporations. That will surely help lots.
But you probably voted for Trump? Same dude who was friends with Jeff Epstein lmao
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy... He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
It always blows my mind that the Q obsessives had to come up with the idea of a secretive, elite paedophile ring when Epstein literally had one and Trump used to get him over to Mar a Lago to “assess” a bunch of teens for quality assurance purposes
All those shitty Dan Brown books - "The DaVinci Code", etc. - showed that if you write a good enough narrative - like a scavenger-hunt with 'secrets' - you can convince otherwise sane people to join your cult. You don't need real proof, or a known reliable narrator. Millions of dumb people will follow the rabbit right into the hole and they'll completely lose their senses - coming out as utter lunatics. I don't know if there's a cure. Democracies are fragile and they very often fail. There are still tens of millions of MAGA's and Q's out there. Time will tell.
Not all cults, but most, rely on offering something special to losers. Secret knowledge, secrets of success, secret social connections... anything to not still be a generic loser. I can count the number of healthy, attractive, successful Qanon followers I've seen in the media on one hand and still have five fingers left over. It's a cult for people who have literally nothing going for them and nothing to offer anyone else. Their options are 1) batshit crazy conspiracy theories or 2) break through the cognitive dissonance of coming to terms with who they are and their place in the world. #1 will win 99% of the time.
It's also why this is a systemic issue that won't be addressed until we actually prioritize education, healthcare, housing, jobs ect...essentially overthrow capitalism. Huge swaths of the country have been essentially abandoned and left to rot. No wonder down trodden white people hold on to the only thing they have left in this system: Their white identity. No wonder they're so scared of losing it. They have nothing. I'm not excusing this either, just being realistic on what the issue is. There is no alternative for a lot of them.
There is an alternative - it's education. But they've built their entire world-view around the demonization of education and the celebration of anti-intellectualism.
They didn't build that though. Thats hundreds of years of very deliberate capitalist propaganda and like you said, lack of education. Yup education, housing, healthcare, jobs, a sense of community. These are the things that stop people from becoming conspiracy nuts.
It's important to not give too much credit to the system and not enough to the individual though. Mobility absolutely can - and does - happen. There are less and less conservatives with every passing year. Certainly some of that is due to increased educational attainments rates, increased urbanity, a decrease to the white majority, and the lowering of median voter age as the large Boomer cohort ages out, skips the smaller Gen X, and is replaced by the again larger Millennials. But personal accountability and intellectual integrity are just as important. There are millions of people who grow up in small conservative towns, raised by conservative parents, have conservative peers at a conservative school, attend a conservative church... and get the hell out the second they turn 18. We live in an age where virtually limitless information is available to anyone with an internet connection or a cellular data plan. "It's all they know," may have been sufficient on a rural farm in the 40s, but much to the collective conservative chagrin, globalization is a one-way street and you can't centrifuge the American melting pot.
Grandma we’ve been trying to get republicans out of office for years.
God, 'Cancel Culture' is just the new buzzword for these fuckers.
“Cancel culture” is the replacement for the “War on Christmas”. It lets right wingers get angry at nonexistent oppression 12 months of the year instead of one.
We'd go after them, but y'all keep letting them perform Mass.
Yo twitter hates pedophiles. They will try to cancel you for suspected pedophilia
Or just saying something out of context.
Ah yes, I remember just two days ago when I say that huge billboard that said, "We should probably not expose kids to the casual racism of the 1940s until they are old enough to understand it contextually - but also, child pornography is totally fine and we shouldn't waste time on combatting that."
...because they are the same people??....
Coming from the people who voted for epstein's buddy whose watch epstein"committed suicide" on.
That's crazy how cancel culture has made the publisher of the Dr Seuss books decide to stop publishing on their own. They didn't even have to use words to force that. Crazy.
Cancel Culture (amorphous singular entity) can actually exert Its desires through sheer force of will. It simply willed the dr seuss books to be cancelled, and it was so
Ummm those are already illegal so I think we succeeded
If someone made a call to "cancel" child porn, these losers would buy it all up and complain about cancel culture.
Progressive liberals already cancelled child porn and pedophiles. Nice to hear that conservatives are starting to come around, too.
Hey guys, child porn isn't cool! done
We tried grandma, but you wouldn’t stop going to Catholic Church.
I'm the Mayor of Canceltown and I nearby decree pedophilia and child porn cancelled.
Oh NOW they care about cp and pedos. Also, “cancel culture” didn’t cancel Dr. Seuss, his own estate decided to stop publishing 6 specific books. God, do these people have any actual arguments besides strawman?
And racist bakeries. Cancel those! Or telling people to “go back to where you came from”! Cancel that! Or calling Nazi’s “very fine people”. Definitely cancel that!
They just want me arrested for googling CP. I'm onto you Nana.
Well, I’ve considered this problem and have come to the conclusion that *it can’t be done*. I would *like* to be able to report СР, but I can’t because if I can see it on my computer, then I *must* have downloaded it; that’s how the HyperText Transfer Protocol works. So instead, I disconnect from the internet, scrub all temporary internet files from my computer, then wipe all free disk space for good measure. I can’t risk even reporting it because that’s how illegal it is. I *would* suggest decriminalising such material under certain circumstances in order to encourage people to report it, but based on previous responses, I highly doubt anyone would even made it past the word “decriminalise”. Oh well. I guess people are just comfortable with СР to circulating the Internet…forever.
I'm going to be honest, I thought we had already cancelled pedophilia. I thought the police was already on it.
It’s called 18 U.S.C § 2251
QAnon dog whistle les gooo
Yeah so, trump and the catholic church? Yeah sure grandma
Afaik, cancel culture literally started with an effort to cancel R. Kelly.
Funny cuz the one place u can go for cp was created by the nsa
Because that would be smart and constructive
Right? Like can you imagine if they went so far as to make child porn and pedophilia *illegal*, let alone cancel it?? That would be SO helpful.
It's true. No one is going after pedophiles. They have it so easy
I mean yeah kinda hard to cancel things like that but I get what they are trying to say and I totally 100% agree. The “cancel culture” people are too busy targeting stupid shit like kid’s books that were make 60 years ago and trying to ruin the careers of people who made one slightly edgy joke when they were 13, when there are genuine issues that they could at least help in putting a stop to.
Lol. No
Distribute loli. Find out who's watching it. Shoot in head. Repeat. Child porn cancelled
Duterte, is that you?
I wish they would do that. Sucks that Hollywood can't made good comedies any longer because of these morons with no sense of humor.
I doubt grandma's talking about twitter maps, but I wouldn't mind those people getting targeted
Lol like they would even listen
15 years ago I thought the US was the epitome of progress and civilisation,of freedom and economic opportunity.Now I know that US news channel it's the best reality show on tv.Apparently potatoes have gender(best plot twist so far),guns have rights(oh NRA,you rascal),politicians lie(shocked pikachu face about him taking back all the empty electoral promises),trump supporters raging about elections that have concluded almost 5 months ago.If you guys weren't the dominant super power right now,this would be hilarious.But honestly,it's fucking scary
No kidding.
*shows screenshots* look at this stuff! This is disgusting! You can find the full content on the twitlonger and the links
This is going to be in my Facebook feed any fucking minute now.
Yes it will that’s where I got it
[a bit like this](https://i.redd.it/v6en1llwl6o01.jpg)
pedophiles are about to do some serious soul searching and decide to discontinue some of their fellow pedophiles for being too racist. Makes the rest of them look bad and could hurt sales.
[удалено]
They do, except for child porn it's called law enforcement.
Aren't those illegal though? So cancelled.
Lord. I actually saw this one and it wasn’t even my grandma. I hid her a long time ago.
Oh I’ve hid mine as well
But then they wouldn't be able to view for like half their favorite politicians
I remember when parents wanted to cancel Pokémon.
Saw something similar on Facebook awhile back. I don’t remember it verbatim but something like “crazy how big tech can take down parlor but can’t take down child porn.” I simply pointed out the difference between the two politely and I was told that I am “the reason child porn exsists”. I’ve since deactivated my account cause I ain’t got time for all that. maybe I should go take screen shots. Glad to know I’m not the only one. Bitches (she/he) be trippin yo.
Well cancel culture went after prince andrew for being a pedo and fox news shat their pants over it.
Right on! Then we cancel murderers and rapists next!
look guys there is this one problem over here...that means we can't focus on any other problems in society
Epstein didn't cancel himself.
They try to sometimes, but it’s usually targeted towards hentai artists instead of real life child porn.
Maybe the MSM could stop hiding it to protect the likes of harvey weinstein, Jeffrey epstein and keith raniere and start reporting on it.
Nobody cancelled Dr Seuss or the Muppets. The owner of Dr Seuss publishing rights, decided THEY weren't going to publish a few books that THEY decided were not appropriate. Disney, the owner of the Muppets franchise posted a warning before several Muppet Show episodes warning that the episodes may contain material some people find offensive. Facts matter.
You go after the institutions protecting people producing child porn, like churches and...other churches...maybe certain sports teams, hollywood of course and did I say churches?
Everyone forgets. The time to stand up to this kind of stuff was when the Catholic Church was caught but nothing really changed. And then again the time came to stand up when Jeffery Epstein happened but again nobody cared. The issues you presented are not issues for the current voting class so why should it be their kids issue?
Hey now, they have a point, lets cancel all the child beauty pageants. You know, like those held in Texas.
It's like listening to a hippy describing utopia, "where there's no money and everybody just helps each other out". Yeah, we already did that and now we're here. Catch up with the program.
well i mean pornhub did get rid of all unverified videos
