Once more, for the umpteenth time, for all you puritanical uptight prudes out there
Nuditymale or female of ANY ageif not done within a sexual context, is NOT pornography. That's not an opinionit's the law.
That some people want to look at look at pictures of naked children with sexual thoughts is sick.
That some people can't see these pictures without THINKING about OTHERS looking at them with sexual thoughts is nearly just as sick.
This is very hard to read, isn't it? -

Making a 16-year-old undress in front of a camera to me is borderline child pornography. People upload and share the snapshot of that scene online. Does this not amount to child pornography? There is no context given to that picture. Besides, Mendes should be ashamed of himself for making a susceptible minor undress. He could have easily picked an 18-year-old.

When you are a minor and an adult has sex with you it is considered rape. In the same sense, Mendes made a susceptible minor do an indecent act. The mere notion how Mendes is sitting behind a camera watching a minor undress is to me revolting. No wonder that pervert's marriage ended pretty quickly.

It's been awhile since I've seen the film, but if I recall correctly Birch was topless but there was no sex scene. How is being topless an indecent act? And pornography has nothing to do with nudity; it has to do with sexual arousal. She would have to have been engaged in some sort of sexual activity for it to have been considered pornography.

When you are a minor and an adult has sex with you it is considered rape.
Really? If you have 17 and your boyfriend 18, being 18 the age of "full consent" and 16 the age of consent, isn't it "statutory rape" or something?
I'm not familiar with USA laws, I know you people can drive a car at 16 but cannot have a beer until 21, I don't understand, but wathever.
It's not related with the movie, but with the sentence I quoted. If an underage person, who is in age of consent (let's say 16), have sex with an adult (let's say 19), isn't that "statutory rape" and not "rape"? I thought that rape was when the victim was a minor under the age of consent and/or the victim didn't consent at all.
Please excuse my terrible redaction, english is not my native language
IMDb = Catch-22 -

Toplessness and nudity are not porn and 16 (or 17) is not a child.
Maybe most men should just ADMIT that they are attracted to 16 and 17-year-old girls. They were as teenagers and they will be as old men. That doesn't make you "pedophile" because pedophiles are attracted to CHILDREN, not fully developed older teens. It also doesn't make you a sex offender unless, as an adult, you show up at their house when their parents are away with beer and condoms. I don't mind seeing pretty women naked, but that doesn't mean I go peek in windows. Same thing with finding underage girls somewhat attractive.
What's really stupid is they never have girls this young do nude scenes in American movies anymore anyway ("American Beauty" was last one I remember). So are you trying to "protect" women who are least 30 at this point? How many adult men saw an underage girl naked (or had sex with her) when they themselves were teenagers 15, 20, or 30 years ago? Are you going give us all a lobotomy to remove these images of "child porn"?
The irony is Thora Birch is a very underrated actress and cute as hell TODAY. Why all the focus on an underage nude scene she did 15 years ago? Will the real perverts please stand up? -

Yeah, funny how no one ever complains when males go topless. Is
Stand by Me
a porn film?
If it's okay for young males to be topless in films then it's okay for young females to be topless in film. To believe otherwise is just sexism, simple as that. -
