Not just juveniles, but especially juveniles.

Never tried netflix, never will. There's nothing there that I need or want to see bad enough.

"Best" is in the eye of the beholder. You're going to have to do your homework.

But, as member redstone noted, a bit up-thread, they're all going there in one way or another.

Of course: They've put all the local DVD/BD rental place out-of-business (the last one in our neighborhood closed about six months ago), so it's either buy your movies, take them out at your local library, or do without.

Local library is closed. I’ll do without, then. I’d rather not have such a service than to finance companies with very bad moral standards.

Very much along the lines of BLM and the social engineers' agenda with white male inferiority at its base. A couple things about "Cuties" that caught my eye, no attribution from me, one of those NYC publications lauding this film because it strikes at the core of the patriarchy. The filmmakers are pulling the usual sleight of hand, saying this film is a condemnation of child sex exploitation. Well, of course... Roll Eyes Mad

Just a personal note.

My oldest daughter was upset at my choice. She likes several shows and felt that if we watch them and not the bad stuff then Netflix will learn what we like.

That works for a questionable Disney choice, I do not buy tickets, do not buy the DVD/Bluray whatever. Disney doesn't make money, Disney goes back to what does make them money.

This is a subscription. And while they do monitor closely who watches what, and from what demographic. There is too large a transactional distance between me and Netflix. The ONLY choice I felt I had was to cancel and tell them why I canceled.
This is where I pulled the "Dad w/ Daughters" card.
I chose not to post the video of the girl taking a pic of her parts and sending it to someone. How is that even legal? My daughter seems to understand and even supports me, but she rages against the machine that led Netflix to greenlight this lunacy.

Yesterday they were trading down nearly $20. I hope Netflix chokes on it.

Laura Ingraham did a good piece on this trash last night. She also said that in California there's bill or a movement to remove the stigma from pedophelia. I can't remember what she called it but I guess there's some push to consider it normal for some folks.

After watching tributes for 9/11 yesterday the shit going on in this country today just has me shaking my head and wondering what happened?

The only democrat left that has any morality left in them.



Not only complicit, but purveyors.

Well, I can't see this going anywere, but I love that it's being looked at:

Ted Cruz calls for DOJ investigation into 'Cuties' filmmakers and Netflix
quote:
“Although the First Amendment provides vigorous protection for artistic expression," Cruz wrote, "it does not allow individuals or for-profit corporations to produce or distribute child pornography."

There seems to be a slight disparity between the media apparatchiks and actual human beings.

We've seen this before, with the Dave Chapelle NetFlix comedy special, except in that instance, the media shills hated it and the human beings loved it.

A movie for pedophiles made by pedophiles. Not surprising coming from a democrat mega-donor.

From the Babylon Bee:

Responding To Backlash, Netflix Clarifies Its Content Is 'Mostly Pedophilia-Free'

quote:
"We assure you, over 93% of the Netflix library is not pedophilia in any way," a spokesperson said. "Trust us -- we just did a thorough review of every movie and show in our catalog, and that's a pretty good percentage. You can rest easy that over nine out of every ten programs you watch on our program don't have any pedophilic content."

What’s really messed up is that there are people on a Seahawks forum that are actually defending this garbage movie.

I haven’t participated there in a long time now (at least 3 years) but I go there every once in a while to enjoy the meltdowns when the Seahawks lose a game, especially to the 49ers.

I used to be a huge Seahawks fan back before the 2017 season but seeing how the liberal the vast majority of the fans there are and the vitriol they spew have made me an anti-Seahawks fan just because I know how much it kills them to see their beloved team lose. They deserve it....it’s that bad.

The fact that they have several people there that are defending Netflix and this fucked up movie are just reinforcement that I despise liberalism and especially those fans. It’s sickening to see them adamantly defend something like this. They need to rot in hell.
