More then ever I think Millie Bobby Brown’s situation reflects we live in a culture that does not care about children. Mbb was forced to sign sexualized fanart of her character on stranger things made by a man who makes a living off drawing child rape porn. Her parents let these people around their daughter and now they’re letting a 31 year old man talk to her about “things that should stay in text” and who is already being disturbingly possessive saying “I miss you” everyday. And the entire entertainment industry and us the public are just standing by and watching it.
And then there’s the other stranger things kids like Finn Wolfhard who had a grown adult woman call him sexually attractive granted there was immediate backlash but still him and the cast of It had erotic FanFiction and fanart made of them even some where they were raped by pennywise which made the children extremely uncomfortable. Even with the “fiction =/= reality” it still made them uncomfortable.
We can already see how children especially young girls like mbb are being sexualized younger and younger. It doesn’t stop at famous children either. Look at any Instagram account of a young girl and you already see her sexualizing herself wearing styles and cuts of clothes meant for women much older and wearing full faced make up. With the excuse “I thought she was over 18” coming up more and more this is especially troubling. And I honestly doubt any child would really want to dress like a 21 year old if she wasn’t given attention by older men when she did. When I think of how I dressed at 14 I remember I wore anime and graphic tees. I wore sloppy mascara and bright purple eye shadow. I wore gaudy jewelry from Claire’s with cupcakes and cartoons on them. I dressed like a child because I was one.
Every child wants attention from adults it makes them feel special and mature. Now adults are taking advantage of that. We are watching children being groomed and abused right before our eyes. The parents do nothing, we do nothing, no one does anything. How many times do we watch the media hound a celebrity woman showing signs of obvious past sexual abuse? How many children in foster care get caught up in sex trafficking and we ignore them? How many abused and raped children never get help? We live in a culture that doesn’t give a fuck about children. We see them as objects, toys, and as investments Not as actual living human beings. And it is most obviously in them media we consume we just don’t care.
I wish I could remember the name of the actress who went ballistic after being told that, at 35, she was too old to play the love interest for the 55-year-old lead.
It was Maggie Gyllenhall. And I stand corrected, she was 37.
Honestly the way branding and glam squads have impacted the aesthetics of teen stars is really fucking mind-boggling.
it’s kind of shocking actually now that i think about it like?? i went to high school with a million and one girls who looked like this photo and now look at like… zendaya or whoever i literally just googled ‘teen choice awards 2004’ and all the women are in sundresses and jeans compare that to ‘teen choice awards 2015’ when not a single one of them is wearing flats or any less than full makeup it’s wild (via @youbuiltcathedrals)
yes! this is something i think about a lot – i get really worried for tween girls nowadays. like, 10-15 years ago, even hilary duff and amanda bynes seemed really glamorous to me, and i can’t even imagine what it must be like now, being in middle school and having the teen stars who are marketed to you as role models being so PERFECT-looking on every level. coupled with youtube beauty bloggers, instagram, snapchat, all of these compounding factors that kind of reinforce that you can and should look perfect all the time. and then i sometimes see, like, obvious teen girls on their way home from school with false eyelashes on and it’s such a weird bummer.
the effects of pedophile culture and femininity ^^
my god they’re wearing pants
why did lesbiain lump femininity with pedophilia???
the Drake and Millie situation? why is this being allowed to happen. I know it happens all over the world but here – right in the public eye it’s happening and nobody is thinking anything of it??? Or are turning a blind fucking eye??
The weirdest fucking thing about this, is that she LOOKS 14. She looks young as fuck. She doesn’t look in any way adult or womanly or attractive.
Some girls look 25 at 14, but she isn’t one of them.
More over, she is 14, and anyone who’s over 20 should be pretty annoyed in general by teenage girls – I legitimately have no idea why someone of his age, wealth, fame, etc would have any interest in being friends with a 14 year old girl except one reason
for starters, just so you have some background, drake is currently dating an 18 year old girl he met when she was 16, he is 31.
also here’s a tweet from drake himself talking about fucking young girls
and noww let’s talk about how he’s preying on Millie.
At the Emmys, when asked about her friendship with him, she said he regularly texts her things like “I miss you” and that they’re very close, also, that they talk about boys/dating advice. He is a 31 year old man and this is a 14 year old girl. He’s talking to her about boys and dating and sending her “I miss you” texts, there’s a word for this. It’s called grooming. (Grooming is when someone builds an emotional connection with a child to gain their trust for the purposes of sexual abuse, sexual exploitation or trafficking. Children and young people can be groomed online or face-to-face, by a stranger or by someone they know – for example a family member, friend or professional.)
He met his current girlfriend at sixteen talked and flirted with her, groomed her like this, and is now in a relationship with her. It is so disgusting to see people claiming this is normal, the industry she is in is highly pedophilic and she’s a child. This is not normal or okay, a 31 year old grown man has no business texting a 14 year old girl like this.
If you watch the whole interview, Millie mentions (while smiling really big) that there’s more in their text convos that should stay in just text form which scares me ALOT
He’s for real praying on her and I really hope he gets what he deserves
I’m so sick of movies today. Why does every movie have to encourage bad behavior? It’s like every movie has a couple who’s confused and cheats on each other and pretends like that’s love.
I’m disgusted.
Because nobody in Hollywood has ever been in love. They just sexually harass each other until they find someone they don’t mind being sexually harassed by on a regular basis then get married for the prestige and then get divorces when they realize they hate each other more than they like making money off of paparazzi photos.
I’m sorry, but if you think you can only make a sexy Hollywood movie by infringing on a woman’s safety and well-being, then you are 900% doing it wrong.
Sex scenes in Hollywood movies are 101% unnecessary and cringy
