Tim continues dissecting the Cuties backlash, mocking the film's marketing as contradictory 'female empowerment' messaging while sexualizing minors, and references Ben Shapiro's commentary.
- Tim describes finding Cuties on Netflix and notes the title sounds like a dark web child exploitation website.
- The marketing for the film isn't highlighting exploitation of minors — it's sexualizing children with a female empowerment angle.
- Tim calls the marketing terrifying and inappropriate, urging it off the screen.
- Ben Shapiro's take is that the film's message gets lost in marketing that conflates female empowerment with the exploitation of scantily clad minors doing sexually suggestive dances.
- Tim warns the set is about to come down from the tension.
