It is really quite amazing that Tulsi Gabbard, right-wingers and QAnon have converged to swarm a fictional movie for allegedly exploiting young black Muslim girls, a group that all three have expressed zero actual concern for in the real world
Amazing, but not surprising. Bad faith actors are gonna bad faith act.
None of these folks have watched the film, most don’t know what it’s about and are unaware it’s a French indie film by a Black woman director—a child of Senegalese Muslim immigrants—not a Netflix production.

Curious: Have you watched Dance Moms or Toddlers and Tiaras, both of which have run for...uh...9 seasons? https://twitter.com/france4senate/status/1304821011645255682
I’m asking, where were you 9 years ago? For what it’s worth I think Dance Moms and T&T are garbage but this movie is critiquing that kind of culture, not celebrating it. If you want to attack Black women because it’s easier than going after white ones, go off I guess https://twitter.com/france4senate/status/1304822641186881536

These folks are swarming a film that *criticizes child sexualization* for showing child sexualization as part of its narrative—
By widely sharing the film’s only clips that contain child sexualization—removing the critique for anyone who wants to watch just the “creepy parts” https://twitter.com/joeschmoagogo/status/1304832170180182019
