      Nothing on earth could get me to click a shady looking link from somebody so focused on how little children dress. Very weird shit mate.

            To be fair, the link does go to a store page that shows a girl of about 7 or 8 in a short skirt and a long-sleeved halter top like outfit with exposed midriff, pretty much exactly what you’d expect if you’ve seen the movie.

            Also to be fair, there is a second option with shorts instead of a skirt.

            Nothing you wouldn’t see in clothing catalogues (showing my age here) but still kinda creepy. But, I have a young niece about that age who loves KPDH, so it’s not an unusual thing to have in my browser history. So I’m not worried. But that person isn’t entirely wrong in being weirded out by the images there.

      That link doesn’t even work outside the United States. So this seems to be a 100% your problem issue. It’s not the studio that’s pushing this it’s US manufacturers. Assuming that anyone other than you even thinks it is a problem.

        Us don’t have manufacturing. But yeah you’re right that this is not officially licensed and stuff. The real blame is on the parents letting their children watch and then wear things like this.

        The US for sure have a sexualization of little girls issue. It reminds me a lot of the cuties controversy that happened a bit ago with the little girl beauty pagents.

        I still think they should have tried to get a pg-13 rating and just leaned into it more. I mean, maybe their writing would have been considered lacking if they went for an older demographic but that’s a different thing.
