As a conspiratorial-minded chap, is this an opportunistic ploy, or was this movie specifically designed to function as a Trojan Horse to accelerate a fascist agenda of mass censorship?

Or just empty politics as usual? Something about this feels... different...

    America: "A french movie that's a satire of the way that culture sexualises children? THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL!"

    Also America: gesticulating wildly at genuine real life pre-teen beauty pageants

    Yes sure America. It's the MOVIE that is the weird thing about this. The MOVIE. Sure.

      America: I don't care if it's satire or commentary, showing the sexualization of children is supporting it. You're going to cause pedophilia.

      America: Let's watch a retired military guy murder 200 people with guns in graphic detail. What? Movies don't cause violence, that's crazy.

      From what I've seen, if it's satirizing it's doing so badly

        I'm guessing that's the actual problem with the movie that nobody feels like pointing out. It's literally just some random movie that wasn't that great. I think it got an award at some film festival but so what.

          No, no, you must be wrong. It's just Americans and their silly sensitivities around "any sort of sexuality or nudity in films." Yeah, these are eleven year old girls being sexualized, but it's nothing new, so we should....uhh, not care, I guess.

      What if we satirized the sexualization if children by making softcore child porn? So smart. Much artistic.
