Ballard became more of a known quantity after the release of the movie Sound of Freedom, a dramatization of his mission in which he was played by actor Jim Caviezel. Critics of the film have argued that Ballard’s claims about his accomplishments have been “dramatically overstated or without clear documentary evidence.”
Moral messages based off of faulty research aren’t moral messages that should be taken even remotely seriously as they have no actual basis in reality.
Your own statement is a contradiction. We shouldn’t care about the reality of the statistics because …entertainment. Instead, we should ignore…reality…because…morality…specifically your version of morality…🤨
Sounds like you want to have your cake and eat it too. Ultimately pretty much all pieces of art, media, narratives, etc. are, to varying degrees, political, and rarely ever purely entertainment. The very act of telling a story with a message indicates you have a point of something to tell!
And this movie is certainly no exception, especially considering its subject matter, which should be taken very seriously and treated with more care than the creators did, as they obviously were more concerned with depicting a story that reflected their personal views on the subject than reality, which honestly is insulting to those that actually experience the traumas of abuse.
You claim you want others to think for themselves rather than go with the crowd. But ignoring evidence and legitimate criticisms of the film and its message because it cloaks itself in righteousness that makes you feel validated and all cozy in your “it’s moral, so ignore reality” bubble isn’t thinking for yourself, it’s drinking your own Kool Aid.
I think you may need to step back and ask yourself:
@Ubermeisters deleted his post where he basically just responded with the usual shit of calling anyone who doesn’t agree with him a pedo. Dont know if my response is still visible, but thought it should be here. Here was my long ass winded response:
My problem is that the movie proclaimed itself to be bringing light to sex trafficking which everyone already knows and acknowledges as a problem, while dramatizing it to the point that it veered dangerously close to QAnon conspiracy and more importantly, didn’t portray the problem of child sex trafficking accurately.
This is all side stepping the fact that “protecting the children” is a grift that has been used to demonize people of color and marginalized groups. All the while, I cant help but notice the right fails to bring up the fact that Nick Fuentes, who openly expressed his desires to have a child bride, has been wined and dined by Donald Fucking Trump, and yet that doesn’t seem to come up when they talk about protecting the children. It’s almost as if they’d rather ignore the obvious child predators/groomers that exist on their side of the aisle.
I’ll be kind and not mention all the Catholic Priest bullshit you all tried to ignore a few decades ago because you were too busy trying to indoctrinate your kids to notice the child predators right under your fucking noses…oops.
Honestly I’m more upset at this than you ever could be, because while LGBTQ kids are being left to be preyed on by whomever crosses their path because their hate filled religious zealot parents abandon them on the streets, fuck faces like you call everyone else a pedo, and then also call those same kids pedos the second they become adults.
Meanwhile, people who actually have a moral fiber in their body are left knowing Who The Real Groomers Are.
Again my dude, perhaps you should be asking yourself:
