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...

      People who are gonna watch this French movie anyway are already predisposed to think sexualizing children is already bad

      France has the highest concentration of pedos this side of Luxembourg

      Michel Houellebecq

      It's just weird that you would use the brush of a polarizing white Westerner's writings on Islamic culture to paint a native Muslim Senegalese woman's interpretation of her own native culture. And I didn't see his name mentioned in the twitter thread.

      The rest, I don't know what to tell you. The movie debuted internationally and in film festivals with narry a peep. But the distinguished honor of ribald fire and brimstone always seems to go to an accelerating puritanical playground in the ol' USA. I see it as a harbinger of more to come.
