Slate Blames ‘Right Wing Moral Panic,’ Breitbart for ‘Cuties’ Backlash
Breitbart ^ | September 13, 2020 | ALANA MASTRANGELO

Posted on 09/14/2020 4:14:45 AM PDT by gattaca

The left-wing Slate magazine insisted that “right wing moral panic” and Breitbart News helped fuel the widespread and bipartisan backlash against Netflix with its release of the film Cuties, the butt-shaking and crotch-grabbing drama Democrat Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard called “child porn” that will “whet the appetite of pedophiles & help fuel the child sex trafficking trade.”

In a Slate article entitled “The Creepy Conservative Obsession With Netflix’s Cuties, Explained,” Sam Adams claims that Cuties “finds itself at the toxic intersection of QAnon delusion and right-wing moral panic, with a smattering of leftist outrage on the side.”

“Brietbart has posted about the movie a half-dozen times in the past two days, singling out critics who praised the film, several of whom have received death threats and been harassed off social media,” writes Adams, concluding that Breitbart — not the film that many have declared sexually exploits children — is the problem.

Adams says Cuties‘ critics cannot possibly know whether the film is “child pornography” unless they watch it for themselves.

“Those labeling it child pornography seem to have adopted a modified version of Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart’s adage: They know it when they don’t see it,” writes Adams, who goes on to say that “by definition, pornography requires intent,” adding that the intent of Cuties director Maïmouna Doucouré “is clear.”

Perhaps we should ask a certain presidential candidate for his opinion on this movie.

This age’s Sam Adams is not the 1776 Sam Adams, that’s for sure.

there are people on this forum that defend this film and say it is NOT child porn.
I’ve only seen clips, but I thought it was inappropriate.

OTOH little girl “beauty pageants” ala Jon Benet Ramsey have been sanctioned child porn for decades.

No one shoold be surprised this next logical step has been taken, except how ling it has taken.

You cannot separate democrats and depravity.

If this is true, then I am a PROUD member of the “right wing.”

How much crap can a decent person take before the “right wing” side of him/her rushes to the top and screams:

ENOUGH!!!!

Satan’s minions do what Satan’s minions do.

Evil is as evil does.

Evil is, it exists, it infects and invades the Godless.

As the country obsesses with the virus, the burning cities, the murders of cops, and the attempted stealing of the election, the left has been introducing child porn and legalization of sex with minors.

When we wake up one day and ask how that happened, this is how it happened.

The Left using language to advance their agenda. When trying to change the status quo, like the Lefts attempts to normalize pedophilia, label the reactions from groups holding to traditional values as “panicking” and “uninformed”. They like to portray Conservatives as unhinged and backwards.
