PEDOPHILES & PRETEXTS
With people continuing to defend @netflix movies #cuties, let me discuss it at some length.
1. People seem to be fooled by what I call a PRETEXT; the bullshit stories pedophiles use to look legit.
Here's Flannel Shirt Guy and me discussing...

...the pretext our abuser used to get at him. And I think, also, Number Shirt Guy.

Fr. Valentine got me with a different pretext. The same one he also used on Number Shirt Guy.
Wrestling.
He'd wrestle with us and his hand would "slip."

He pulled the wrestling pretext with Number Shirt Guy when he was older -- 7th or 8th grade -- and NSG threw him off him and that was the end of it.
NSG failed the test.
And one thing people get wrong about pedophilia is before the GROOMING stage, there's the TESTING stage.

For whatever reason -- in my case it was, "Hey Fr. Valentine's a priest so, obviously, he didn't mean anything. His hand just slipped. Over and over again." -- I failed the test.
Of course, I was also a 4th grader.
And REALLY naive/obliviously geeky.

2. The @netflix movie #Cuties feels like just such a pretext. And all the BUT THE PLOT appeals seem to miss the point. Who cares about the plot and the build up? It's short in pornos. It's long in #Cuties. But the "money" shots for pedophiles are still there.
Unnecessarily.
Unnecessarily.
People who obsess about the #Cuties plot feel like porno addicts who talk about the plot.
So what if she walked into a drill store?
What happens after is still sexual exploitation.
Same for Cuties, which just has a longer build-up.

Don't get confused by the pretext.
Porn is Porn.
Regardless of whether there's one MINUTE or one HOUR of plot.
Or pretext.
All that matters is where it ends up.

Thing about @netflix movie #Cuties is that, sure, there's all this back story and build up.
All this plot.
But the fact that the dance scene - immediately - goes where and shows what it does makes it clear that it was just pretext.
If you care about exploitation, DON'T DO IT.
