And now the Oscar for the film most responsible for little girls still in elementary school to dress slutty for Halloween.

    Yep, this movie made you look at elementary school girls and say "wow, how slutty".

    Maybe Netflix will also release a true crime documentary about you!

    Yeah I think short skirts and outfits that show midriff are slutty outfits. I'm not saying that children are, but when that much skin on a child is showing its an issue because there are people that do want to see that. I get that K-pop stars often dress slutty, but there was no need for that in a pg rated film.

    Honestly parents need to do a better job at screening what their children watch and not just sit them infront of a full length movie because it's a new PG rated film on netflix. Parents are to blame for how their 7 year old dresses ultimately. But I think it would have been nice it the outfits used in the film were picked with the idea that young children would be emulating it.

    I get wanting to protect children and all, but there's nothing "slutty" or even sexual about any of this.

    As someone who grew up in the 80s and 90s. This was very normal attire. Different cultures also have different norms.

    If you can't see an animated kids show and not get moist you might want to look in the mirror, because that kind of thinking is not normal.

    I'll tell you what's irresponsible... Teaching elementary school kids it's acceptable to abandon your plummeting, flaming private jet to crash uncontrolled into a populated city so you can get to your concert on time.

    Parents need to watch what their children are learning.

    I simply don't think it's right for little girls to be dressed in a costume like this.

    Nothing on earth could get me to click a shady looking link from somebody so focused on how little children dress. Very weird shit mate.

    a.co is just short format Amazon. It's just a link to a costume on Amazon.

    To be fair, the link does go to a store page that shows a girl of about 7 or 8 in a short skirt and a long-sleeved halter top like outfit with exposed midriff, pretty much exactly what you'd expect if you've seen the movie.

    Also to be fair, there is a second option with shorts instead of a skirt.

    Nothing you wouldn't see in clothing catalogues (showing my age here) but still kinda creepy. But, I have a young niece about that age who loves KPDH, so it's not an unusual thing to have in my browser history. So I'm not worried. But that person isn't entirely wrong in being weirded out by the images there.

    That link doesn't even work outside the United States. So this seems to be a 100% your problem issue. It's not the studio that's pushing this it's US manufacturers. Assuming that anyone other than you even thinks it is a problem.

    Us don't have manufacturing. But yeah you're right that this is not officially licensed and stuff. The real blame is on the parents letting their children watch and then wear things like this.

    The US for sure have a sexualization of little girls issue. It reminds me a lot of the cuties controversy that happened a bit ago with the little girl beauty pagents.

    I still think they should have tried to get a pg-13 rating and just leaned into it more. I mean, maybe their writing would have been considered lacking if they went for an older demographic but that's a different thing.

    Bruce Wayne: “You have a thing for bats?”

    Dr. Chase Meridian: “Oh, that's a Rorschach, Mr. Wayne. An ink blot. People see what they want. I think the question would be do you have a thing for bats?”

    Listen, young kids have to dress appropriately otherwise sickos take advantage of them.

    The same way that drivers need to be aware of what is happening around them on the road.

    The sexualization of children is bad for a few reasons but I think the top reason is a safety concern.

    I thought I grew up conservative, but man, I think my childhood was nothing like yours.

    …Kids are menaces, friend.

    And I'm pretty sure exposure to K-Pop Demon Hunters would've helped their drug and sex habits, not exacerbated them. The kids that weren’t allowed to watch TV were wild.

    In my experience, 9/10 times the people wanting to "protect" children by taking away their freedom to self-determination are actually the ones hurting the children the most.
