"lol provincial americans, being somewhat repulsed by close-up shots of 11-year-old crotches as they do aerial splits..." got me there, i will never be sophisticated now — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i think what #triggers me is the fact that actual children had to be coached on how to dry hump and suck their fingers for the camera in order for this film to be made...i'm not trying to ban france or whatever, just expressing my judgment of the content here — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

in my point of view "nobody should be filming 11 y/o erotica" is a bipartisan position — PolitiTweet.org

lol why is that guy not under arrest already — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

hmm well i feel i have expressed very strong distaste for/rejection of those aspects of the film. all i'm saying is that my criticism is limited to this film based on what i've seen, as opposed to assenting to, say, a broader theory of cause (i.e., secret conspiracy networks) — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

anyway, i'm aware this matter, like almost all matters in contemporary culture, has dissolved into some kind of bullshit partisan slapfight, which i don't care about and refuse to pay attention to. just giving you my read of this weird ass movie — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

there's a protracted sequence, zero dialogue, of the girls putting their fingers in their mouths and eyeing the camera...this comes on the heels of them buying a bunch of lingerie...just completely unrelated to any kind of plot or character development. bizarre — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i don't think any of the principal characters ever have their midriffs covered...they also spend a lot of time talking about sex. there's a discussion of, and much camera focus upon, the 'cleavage' of an 11 y/o...and shots of adult men admiring these kids' bodies. folks.......... — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

watched the film "Cuties"...certainly understand that it's been explained as a kind of cautionary tale about the sexualization of children, but nothing about the film reads as disapproving or critical. theres a scene where 4 11-year-olds seduce their way out of trouble lol — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@SeanRMoorhead yeah I mean: if the intent is to make the viewer feel disgusted by the sinister Sexualization of kids, then...it....worked, lol? I am indeed disgusted, I find it disgusting. But also, you don’t have to make a snuff flick to prove to me I wouldn’t like it... — PolitiTweet.org
