If you need any proof that "critics" are nothing but paid stooges, look no further. I can't believe anyone would watch this adolescent smut and recommend it to others. Thankfully, it seems that thousands of unpaid film lovers (read: real people) have risen to the challenge of watching this filth and gave it a proper score.

A lot of the people who defend this film talk about depth and allegory and satire and nuance or whatever bullshit flies these days. No. This film is a vehicle for child pornography, and if you don't do something about it or make your voice heard, then you're part of the problem. CANCEL YOUR NETFLIX ACCOUNT.
Poe's Law comes to mind: without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of the views being parodied. So essentially, the director's intent is irrelevant; if you're producing child pornography, that's all it's ever going to be.

Yeah, as others pointed out, this was definitely a bit, just found it weird that leftists were appropriating fascist language. I thought people would catch on more with the wink wink at Poe's Law, but this is a pretty delicate issue. I meant no harm.
