    Default Slate Blames ‘Right Wing Moral Panic,’ Breitbart for ‘Cuties’ Backlash

    Things are picking up speed in the condemnation department about this movie, even from congress.

    What BS again, everyone has seemingly been condemning this disgusting movie, including the right in congress.

    I haven't seen anyone supporting this garbage.

    Slate Blames ‘Right Wing Moral Panic,’ Breitbart for ‘Cuties’ Backlash

    The left-wing Slate magazine insisted that “right wing moral panic” and Breitbart News helped fuel the widespread and bipartisan backlash against Netflix with its release of the film Cuties, the butt-shaking and crotch-grabbing drama Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard called “child porn” that will “whet the appetite of pedophiles & help fuel the child sex trafficking trade.”

    In a Slate article entitled “The Creepy Conservative Obsession With Netflix’s Cuties, Explained,” Sam Adams claims that Cuties “finds itself at the toxic intersection of QAnon delusion and right-wing moral panic, with a smattering of leftist outrage on the side.”

    “Brietbart has posted about the movie a half-dozen times in the past two days, singling out critics who praised the film, several of whom have received death threats and been harassed off social media,” writes Adams, concluding that Breitbart — not the film that many have declared sexually exploiting children — is the problem.

    Adams says Cuties‘ critics cannot possibly know whether the film is “child pornography” unless they watch it for themselves.

    “Those labeling it child pornography seem to have adopted a modified version of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s adage: They know it when they don’t see it,” writes Adams, who goes on to say that “by definition, pornography requires intent,” adding that the intent of Cuties director Maïmouna Doucouré “is clear.”

    “The movie presents those images in order to critique them, in a way that could not possibly be more clear,” Adams insists.

    If that is, in fact, true, as Adams says, someone should tell Netflix. The streaming giant apologized, said it was “deeply sorry for” sharing what it called “inappropriate artwork that we used for Cuties.” The photo, seen below, shows four girls in risqué poses. The poster is a scene from the film. Netflix apologized for sharing the poster, calling it “inappropriate.” But then defended the film. So, a poster showing an image from the film is “inappropriate” according to Netflix, but the film showing preteens twerking isn’t?

Need I say more?” - Chris Rock

    Opinions are like assholes and occasionally an asshole will have an opinion.

    This Slate writer is a good example.

    There is a glimmer of hope for society, then.

    I note though that outrage against child pornography is now described as nothing more than “Right Wing moral panic”. Let that little tidbit sink in.
