the cursing is for shock value

it's just a cheap tactic (to me) using kids to tell adults things we already know, especially when kids cant fully grasp what they're saying

what if those girls actually understand that 1 out of 5 of them will be raped by a man?

the video asks us to decide which is more offensive - little girls saying ugly things or the fact that the ugly things they're saying are true?

which is worse - little girls dropping f-bombs or 1 out of 5 women being raped?

fuck you.

in particular, none of them have an actual understanding of men making more than women. they were (hopefully) paid to repeat someone else's thoughts.

>them will be raped by a man?

that's fantastic. having kids curse to say "rape, sexism and misogyny are fucking worse than me saying fuck" is a cheap way to make that point

and yes, you should've predicted that someone here (likely me) would agree that the facts the girls were spitting are more offensive than the curse words they used.

Is the ad playing up the shock value of kids cussing?
sure.

but so what?

"The children" get used as pawns to make dumb points all the time
and ppl seem to be okay with it.

The war on drugs is justified because think of the children.
We mustn't see gay ppl on tv because think of the children.
We mustn't have obamacare because think of the children.


I think ppl that don't have dumb arguments should start using children more.

It seems to be effective.

Well, by an large, the adverse opinion is pretty much the same. Nobody is exactly going hard against it.

>time
>and ppl seem to be okay with it.

Plenty of people are probably OK with this one too. Plenty of people probably aren't. You can't really play this whole "why is it only _____ and _______ are allowed to do it?" card. We all know how some of the demographics play out for shit like this, independent thinkers included. Let's not act like this is some sin to dislike this stupid ad.

>The war on drugs is justified because think of the children.
>We mustn't see gay ppl on tv because think of the children.
>We mustn't have obamacare because think of the children.

Yeah, same exact thing. Plenty of that shit gets criticized.

The whole thing is undermined by the production. That aside, I totally dig it and like the approach.
