Are people being double-standard-ish on the movie Cuties?

Thank you.

What kind of Ammo does a Daisy Red Rider fire and is it any good as a toy?

It is a pretty good target shooter.

And it shots specialized metal pellets, usually made of copper.

Well one thing about this indictment, why is Texas all of governments the one to indict? I mean this movie is being shown all over the world as far as I know, yet out of all the places that could indict, Texas is the one... Is Texas bigger on cracking down on sex crimes, compared to most places?

So I watched the movie and and I do agree that it does have depth and heart, but as far as the dirty dancing scenes go, how was the director suppose to show the audience what the dancing was without actually showing the dancing?  The director could have kept the cameras on their faces the entire time but then we would have no idea what they were doing and we would just become confused wouldn't we?  So was showing it necessary therefore?

Also, another thing about the movie is that when you read what all the people who are trashing the movie online have to say, the scene that is complained most about is a scene where a breast is shown, some have said.  Others have called it a 'topless scene', thereby implying topless, meaning two breasts are shown.  I have these comments before watching the movie, so I was on the lookout for this scene.  Not that I want to see child nudity at all in a movie, and I was hoping there wasn't going to be any. And I'm glad to say this scene didn't happen in the movie. I watched the whole thing, so that means 3 things.  I watched the whole thing, so that means 3 things.

1.  Either I somehow missed the scene when I was watching it.

2. The people who said there is a topless scene lied in order to trash the movie more and stir the pot more.

3. Netflix has edited the footage out since they first aired the movie.

But this is my preliminary assessment of the movie as I just watched it and it has to sink in more.  What do you think?  Is there a way to make a movie about showing 11 year olds be subjected to dirty dancing, without having to show how dirty the dancing is, for viewer to get the point?

I didn't know about the movie until I saw people trashing it on youtube, doing controversial videos to get views and monetize and giving the movie free publicity, I personally don't care about the movie, I'm not interested in it.
And I found funny seeing conservatives wanting to cancel the movie while at the same time complaining about PC culture and defending freedom of speech. If we really value freedom speech, we should be consistent.

Oh I didn't think Conservatives were being inconsistent because conservatives are more reserved when it comes to sexual content in movies, which doesn't fall under freedom of speech, because it's not speech. So I thought that freedom of sexual expression on camera was different than speech, at least for conservatives. I mean they defend freedom of speech, but I never hear them talking about defending freedom of sexual expression in movies.
