It seems that among a certain type of people, to be against child porn is now "right wing"...
Quote:
“Cuties,” the Extraordinary Netflix Début That Became the Target of a Right-Wing Campaign
On Wednesday, Netflix releases “Cuties” (“Mignonnes”), the remarkable first feature from the French filmmaker Maïmouna Doucouré. Unfortunately, the platform’s misleading advertising has given rise to a scurrilous campaign against the film itself. The promotional image, showing young girls in bikini-like clothing dancing in provocative ways, matched with an inaccurate description, has been taken to suggest that the film celebrates children’s sexualized behavior. In fact, the subject of the film is exactly the opposite: it dramatizes the difficulties of growing up female in a sexualized and commercialized media culture. I doubt that the scandal-mongers (who include some well-known figures of the far right) have actually seen “Cuties,” but some elements of the film that weren’t presented in the advertising would surely prove irritating to them: it’s the story of a girl’s outrage at, and defiance of, a patriarchal order.

The reason "right wing" people are against the movie:
Apparently there are videos around which show some of the "questionable" content of the film, but it's certainly nothing I have any interest in looking at or for.
Based on this, I wonder how many people are unknowingly "right wing" (and what it says about the "left wing" that think this sort of thing is seen as acceptable)?

He's trying to imply that left-wingers tolerate seemingly pedophilic movies and that anybody who is rightfully disgusted by pedophillia must be a right-winger, I think.
But it's BS of course. Just like the "gay agenda". I guess when calling the left racists, terrorists, and marxists doesn't stick, the right wing can try calling them pedophiles. How about we accuse them all of being witches while we are at it and burn them at the stake?

Let's try reading the heading of the article I linked for a start...

The campaign against it was entirely related to the child-porn aspect of the film.
The parental warnings indicate some of the problematic content included in it.
The author of the article says that this campaign is "right wing".
Not sure how hard that is to understand...
And I fail to see how this proves that everyone on the left is tolerant of pedophilia. You're just using this to spread more pro-Trump right wing propaganda.
This is pizzagate all f*****g over again.
