Right-wingers: Oh My God, this movie is sexualising little girls. It must be banned.

Also right-wingers: let me show you IN DETAILS, how that sexualisation is done. I have all the pictures and video clips saved on my phone/ bookmarked as favorites.

Me: is that so? https://twitter.com/kabluekijones/status/1304539945030299650

Honeslty, with "allies" like these clowns, who needs enemies?!

So, yes. That thread is about the movie Cuties by director Maïmouna Doucouré and it's based on her own story.

I too, was raised by abusive religious parents and learned about sexuality through hip-hop music videos.

There are more than 2 ways for little girls to become women.

That's a VERY important story, that must be told and heard.

Representation do matters and sexist ones are shaping the minds and attitudes of kids for the worst. https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/cuties-movie-review-2020

The 2 options are wife or slut.* BOTH of these options are centered around straight men's needs and desires.

That binary vision of feminity is restrictive but nobody explicitely tell kids that, especially non-White kids. Heartbreaking and a way too common but invisible story.
