      Like, that's not what this movie is about Part of what it's about is that, yes, if the Cuties ever ran into someone who was intent on actually raping a child they'd be easy prey But that doesn't have to actually happen for it to fuck up their lives

      In their actual lives, the guys who think that inappropriate sexuality is viscerally disgusting are just as complicit as the creeps who quietly get off on it The scene with the two security guards that gets passed around as the "worst scene from Cuties" is about this fact

      The one security guard they meet is pissed off at having to deal with little girls, and then when they protest that they're dancers and show him their routine he just gets more and more indignant and disgusted

      The second guy, his partner, clearly is a creep, and starts leering and smirking to himself as he watches, but doesn't actually try anything It's clear his primary emotion for the girls is the same as the first guy's: contempt These girls have made themselves "trash"

      Same thing that happens when Amy's cousin realizes she has his phone and tries to get it back -- she ignorantly tries to come on to him, thinking this is how women get things from men And he freaks out and is disgusted And this makes him ANGRIER AT HER

      Which is why no adult ever helps her or intervenes throughout the course of the film Because she has, tragically accurately, divided the world into people who are into her edgy sex shit and get off on it, and people who are disgusted by it and think it makes her trash

      And the latter group of people -- which is much larger than she realizes, which she doesn't realize the first group is in fact a subset of -- she knows is her enemy, that she has to keep secrets from The group of people who want her to grow up to inherit her mom's shitty life

      The people who are like "Why didn't either of those security guards call the cops? Why didn't the 'good one', who clearly hates his partner and hates creeps, save them?" Well shit, because that's not what guys like that do It's a satire but it's pretty on point in that regard

      (And if you think calling the cops would've solved anything here, like cops aren't just as much divided into these two kinds of guys as the security guards were, you don't understand jack shit)

      *Of course* anyone like the security guard would do nil. Calling the police seems a lot more trouble than it’s worth. Will they think you did wrong, will they brutalize or charge the girls? Call whatever child protective services is called? You don’t know their names or addresses

      1) It's a movie, the feelings you have about the guy from watching the scene are more important than hashing out the realism of it 2) The issue is his tone with the girls never changes from being confrontational and harsh, wanting them to get the fuck away from him

          Ah, so the argument isn’t “he won’t act” isn’t because it’s difficult to do so, but because he’ll never get out of reactive disgust mode.
