Okay it's not "whataboutism" if the actual stated purpose of the movie was to attack ongoing real-life events like underage beauty pageants and dance competitions If you just ban the movie itself and not the stuff it was satirizing you come off like an idiot

Honestly I was in fact a lot more receptive to this argument ("It wasn't possible to portray this negative thing without actually doing it") before people like you started taking it to the lengths you did

The idea that what Doucouré did on her film shoot actually is the equivalent of "killing a puppy" or "burning down a forest", that something was killed or destroyed, is pretty fucked up and is a huge part of what this movie is about

Maybe the kids who made this movie were traumatized for life, maybe not I guess we'll see when we hear about it inevitably twenty years down the line But the kneejerk response that they've been defiled/stained/ruined and are now covered in shame is... what the movie is about

It does suck to be a survivor and fully conscious that none of the discourse around this movie is about survivors. Potential victimization is omnipresent as subtext but survivors aren't present and I don't know how we can honestly discuss harm without giving space to victims.

Okay, I apologize for lumping you in with him I've said every time I've brought up the movie that I'm uncomfortable with the dance scenes and I think it's okay to hate the movie and say it shouldn't have been made

I'm mostly reacting to the people who are saying the director is obviously a pedophile who should be thrown in jail etc., including people like the OP here who smoothly tie it in to an antisemitic conspiracy theory about "pedophiles running Hollywood" etc

And calling you a molester personally for defending Doucouré as a human being. That can't be easy to deal with.
