I don't actually want more hate directed at Maïmona Doucouré but I would like the discourse around this movie to acknowledge that she, you know, exists The fact a woman made this movie isn't a universal pass from it being problematic but it at least complicates this narrativehttps://twitter.com/netflix/status/1296486375211053057 …

The gendered double standard is justified to an extent, of course - cishet men are *more likely* to be predators than other people It's still wildly irresponsible to just throw accusations like that around, about anybody, and the more marginalized they are the harder it'll hit

It's not like I "defended" James Gunn in the sense of saying his jokes were good - they were awful and should never have been said I didn't even care that much about whether or not he should be fired It's using the story to launch a "cabal of pedophiles" conspiracy theory

That's what's happening here, people straight up demanding that Maïmouna Doucouré be arrested or killed (a lot of them not even knowing who she is, thinking she's a man) and then immediately segueing into a Qanon rant about rooting out all the pedophile Illuminati

If you don't understand how dangerous this is you aren't paying attention And I'm saying this as someone highly receptive to the argument that Cuties may be a bad movie that shouldn't have been made
