Posted this elsewhere, but yes, teens have been charged for sending nudie pics to each other.

The real risk and the genuinely serious harm is not from the photos at all but from law enforcement. The photo trading is embarrassing but mostly harmless - criminal charges or a conviction will ruin your life.

I don’t think that’s what she is saying at all. I think she’s saying that minors trading pictures with other minors doesn’t seem that harmful to her. I’m not saying I agree, but I do think that it’s weird when you see people under the age of 18 get charged with pornography for sending nude photos of themselves. Which…

If you consider it to be nonconsensual, then what do you do? Charge both parties with sexual assault and put them on the sex offender registry? I don’t see how you could legally charge anybody, because they’re both minors, it’s not one taking advantage of the other, it is just two dumb kids; not a rapist and innocent…

We had a handful of kids arrested for sexting where I live, the police were all “these kids are ruining their lives” while talking about charging them as sex offenders because they exploited themselves...

By the time my 1 year old needs a cell phone, the brainwashing will have already set in and she will truly believe that naked selfies steal your soul just like I planned.

I’m so glad, for so many reasons, that social media was in like MySpace infancy when I was in high school.

I agree. There were a few shots that kinda punched you in the eye with the feeling of “they’re really in an empty green screen room.”

Thank you Mister Pedant. Now if only the main aesthetic had seen major changes between those two things. SPOILER: It doesn’t.

Everything feels a bit too hyper-real. Like The Hobbit at 48 frames. It looks too crisp and too perfect and that is very off-putting.

Maybe you just need to trust the experts here. Nobody develops young quarterbacks like the Cleveland Browns. And nobody has more experience.

“I definitely think he took a step forward’’

YES! Simply reading the whole quote shows what the director actually meant, and it wasn’t anything near what the author of this article implies! I mean...I am not particularly surprised that a Jezebel author doesn’t grasp what satire is and what it aims to do, but still, Jesus Christ this is shoddy work!

What bothers me most about stories like this is the unquestioned arrogance—the idea that a German film, in German, for a German audience, dealing with German history and culture, should be easily and quickly comprehensible and approved by American audiences. It actually reminds me of a KFC commercial from South Africa…

EXACTLY. the article in the Guardian she cites makes the true purpose of the movie clear. I don’t think she even read it other than the quote she used, which by the way, was not the director’s full quote included in the Guardian. She took it completely out of context. Really annoying.

Seriously though, this whole article is so badly misinformed that I don’t even know where to start, from the wrongly translated quote to the wrongly summarised intentions of this satirical movie right down to using a video clip with completely false subtitles, this whole thing is truly maddening. Now I know how Asian…

This. People don’t realise how thoroughly and completely Germany has dealt with its past. If most countries did even half of what they have done, the world would be better off. But hey, who cares about facts, as usual, it’s just Jezebel is trying to manufacture unjustified outrage over comedy.

This looks awesome. Germany has owned this terrible history and taught it in their schools to make sure it never happens again. Germany has done a better job than most countries, really. America hasn’t taught and owned the terrible history of slavery and native genocide with the completeness that Germany has.
