Controversial Children's Content
00:03:17
|
|
| Talk about children. I haven't seen that film, or I think the film is called Cuties. | |
| Everybody's talking about that. | |
| If it's not real, they're using children to do twerking, stuff like that. | |
| Is that... | |
| Because I don't even want to see it, to be honest. | |
| So, I don't know what to say about it. | |
| Well, I mean, I've heard about the controversy. | |
| I have... I mean, like yourself, I try not to eat food That's got tire tracks on it. | |
| And I try not to watch content that is just appalling and horrifying. | |
| And I think it's a Congolese woman who came and wrote this movie and directed this movie. | |
| I don't know, man. | |
| I mean, you've got people in the States calling for investigations into Netflix for distribution of child pornography. | |
| And, you know, a guy I quite like, Scott Adams, he's a real free speech guy. | |
| A real free speech guy. | |
| And he watched some of it and he said, yeah, I'm a real free speech guy. | |
| It's pretty hard to shock me, but somebody needs to go to jail for this. | |
| And so I think it's absolutely appalling. | |
| And it just shows you like the chain of, like the echo chamber, right? | |
| That there's nobody... In that whole process, right? | |
| This whole process of, you know, you write a script, then you get your funding, then you cast your actors, and you get your distributors, and you go to film festivals, and then you sign a deal with Netflix. | |
| Like this whole chain of people. | |
| It doesn't seem like there was anyone who said, wait a second here. | |
| Something's wrong. We are hyper-sexualizing 11-year-old children. | |
| Now, the fact that my daughter is 11 is making this one hit pretty close to home. | |
| But no one along the line says, hmm, no. | |
| And of course, the Obamas are neck deep in with Netflix and other people and so on. | |
| So it just shows they seem to be genuinely surprised that anyone could have a problem with this. | |
| And I don't know, maybe it's the Congolese woman. | |
| Maybe they say, well, it's not gross if it's diversity hired. | |
| I mean, I don't know. I don't know what, because I don't know anyone who would get involved in anything like that. | |
| I mean, you've got parents who are putting their kids up for these auditions. | |
| Can you imagine what these auditions are? | |
| Put on this bikini and twerk? | |
| Yeah. At what point did the parents say, hell no! | |
| What are you doing? I thought we were selling some toothpaste here and you've got my woman shaking her ass like Cardi B on a trampoline. | |
| Like, no thank you. Right? | |
| So, like, nobody at the film festivals is like, I'm not putting that on the screen. | |
| What are you, crazy? We can't normalize this. | |
| This is horrifying. And the whole step from conception to it flowing into people's homes. | |
| And nobody, it seems, raised the alarm along the way, which tells you just what a predatory echo chamber these people are in. | |
| And to quote Mike Cernovich, you know, if it's a choice between cuties and Sharia law... | |
| And then he quoted some Arabic phrase that I didn't understand, but I think I knew which side he came down on that. | |
| So yeah, I don't know. | |
|
Big, Complicated Movie Effort
00:00:47
|
|
| I don't know. It really is a different universe. | |
| It's a different moral universe that this whole thing... | |
| Like, this isn't just someone who filmed it in her house with a phone, right? | |
| I mean, I've made a movie before. | |
| I'm not just the documentaries. | |
| I've made a fiction movie and so on, right? | |
| So it's really a big, complicated, expensive, massive team effort. | |
| And nobody on the set is taking pictures and leaking them and saying, what the hell is happening? | |
| This is not good. | |
| Like the whole thing just kind of barrels and slopes along and doesn't seem like anybody raised an objection. | |
| I don't know how a society functions. | |
| When you have lots of people saying, this is beautiful, high-moving art, and other people are like, this is child pornography and people have to go to jail. | |
