I think it's worth noting that a lot of French media reports in the whole Cuties thing as strictly an American thing and strictly a far-right thing. @France24_fr/1306316697599488002On twitter.com

The article notes that the film condemns hypersexualization and finds it strange and exhausting that people came out with the opposite idea, especially after not even having watched it.Permalink On twitter.com

I've avoided making hard statements about the film myself because I will be the best, most-informed, most thoughtful take in this space. But I can... read French? So there ya go?Permalink On twitter.com

Obviously one article does not speak for All of France but I think people underestimate how much a cultural reception of a medium can vary across borders. Like he huge hate mob and focus on Cuties, that brought members of Congress into the conversation, doesn't exist overseasPermalink On twitter.com

I think where I'm at now: while the movie has plenty in it that can and should be criticized, I think it's kind of irresponsible to talk about this film as if the only reason we care about Cuties specifically isn't because a right wing hate mob told us to.Permalink On twitter.com

If this was a movement genuinely concerned with child sexualization, wouldn't the outrage turn outwards to the platforms (Tik Tok and YT) and industries (cheer, pageantry) that normalize this stuff?Permalink On twitter.com

Instead we're attacking "Netflix" and the one specific director who happens to be openly against the thing she's accused of anyway. It's not productive because it's not meant to be. It's *meant* to convince you that Hollywood elites and gay rights activists are all pedophilesPermalink On twitter.com
