Edit: whatever. Im not going to be villianized over something I never had any part in.
I want to thank you for invalidating mine and countless others’ child SA experiences. It doesn’t matter if no one else has seen it or if those who participated and facilitated remember or admit it. It happened, and how fucking dare you and anyone else minimize that?
What tf are you talking about?
Yes it happened. This movie happened in 1969. Ok.
Im out. Im not going to be made a villian for you over a movie this actor that just passed away was in decades ago.
I made it quite plain.
It’s used in high school English classes all the time. My teacher used a piece of paper to cover the nude bits. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of good Romeo and Juliet movies to choose from. DeCaprio version is good, but it is an odd setting.
Does it matter?
I am trying to say that downplaying seriousness of CSAM is harmful to victims. This case included.
To answer your question, having a scene with nude underage teenager likely increases that number in case of some old movie like this one.
Edit: YouTube recommended search results prove me right
And no, I was searching for the Romeo and Juliet: Sealed with a kiss animated thing, not this one.
Edit: whatever. Im not going to be villianized over something I never had any part in.
The number of views, which is what you were talking about:
