Her fundamental right, as a minor child, is to be protected. She is abnormally immature for her age, because her mother has intentionally made her so. She has created a dependent creature whose judgment has been found to be unsound. No wonder, that was the purpose of her mother's experiment.

No. She will then be an adult who though greatly harmed by a neglectful mother will be beyond help. That does not mean that the state has no responsibility to rescue her while she is still a minor. There is always the hope that when her life is saved, that evidence and the separation from her abuser will have given…

A child shouldn't be the one who has to file charges against a parent for abuse and neglect. The state does that. The state is correct here to relieve the child of the burden of going against her crazy mother. She is so afraid of defying her that she cannot bring herself to do it even to save her own life - a state…

Yeah, it's very much like...what would just disappear for me on an adult and become a non-choice, on a child, makes me have to continually go "Is this a naked child?" even though I know it isn't. I don't think that is the discomfort Sia is going for, she probably sees it as a total blank space. But on a child it isn't…

Hah. NP. My discomfort with the visual (if the leotard were slightly darker or slightly lighter I would be fine) prevents me from engaging with the work. This is just me. It didn't prevent me from engaging with Chandelier, but here it does.

My discomfort with a thing doesn't mean the thing shouldn't exist, nor does it mean I don't think it has value.

Also, a personal note from each player to her great great grandmother? That's +++

Note that they used the text to block the view of the ankles, since that would've made it clear they aren't jeans.

These appear to be the pants. She was probably wearing the matching jacket beneath the coat.

Oh, I don't know...of the celebrity sex tapes, his is certainly the most giving.

It's the nude color of the suit. I am creeped out by the sexualized costumes as well, but the nude suits are ick to me. The choreography in Chandelier is totally innocent, though.

I think it's supposed to be that...and like, Sia and her father.

Yeah, I think his thoughts about his daughter aren't entirely appropriate, even if it's just that he likes the fact that he has a hot daughter because it means he owns something other men want, but the goal here was the horde of nearly naked underage girls.

I feel you, Dennis.

I sense that this issue is strangely important to you, and since I don't get it, ok.

He doesn't look tan to me at all. I don't think the Cambridge winter would sap the natural melanin from the olive skinned.

Thank you, I am here for exposed forearms and baked goods.

Unf.

I know...it's a window into the way her mind was working through things and reminds you so strongly that she's so little. Like she was thinking how much she just wanted to lie down, you know? Walking through the woods just wanting to lie down but she couldn't. *sob*

"She asked if she could stay here."
