I watched a breakdown/discussion video from a youtuber I follow who I trust isn't lying or misrepresenting what she is seeing and she seemed generally disgusted by the volume of sexually explicit scenes in the movie. She even shows a variety of the scenes during her discussion. I also watched the "finale" dance scene on youtube and...jeez...

I get what the movie makers were trying to do. Those sexually explicit scenes are supposed to make you uncomfortable because it's an 11 year old girl doing it. You're supposed to see it as a failing of society that little girls have this pressure to be sexy placed upon them at such a young age. 
But the people who don't feel uncomfortable during those scenes are exactly the problem haha. 

I hate reacting to something I haven't personally seen, which is why I put so many qualifying statements in my post, but I just...I have absolutely no desire to watch 11 year olds twerking, even if it is portrayed as a bad thing in the movie.

I must officially be old now, projecting concern over something I haven't seen XD.
