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 …

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

I think it's an interesting double standard that the director is getting hate for a movie none of us has seen that's supposedly about how young girls get sexualized, but it's totally fine that shows like Dance Moms that are actually sexualizing dance kids are treated as normal.
