Dakota Fanning Is Getting Raped

If anyone is concerned about “Hounddog” or wonders what it all portends, then you’re not alone. A lot of people are VERY concerned about the “sexualization” of children in the popular culture these days and see this movie as an attempt to further it… by exploiting the most popular child actress in the country. To understand our case and, if you wish, to become involved, please check out these websites:

1. “A Minor Consideration” (minorcon.org): Paul Petersen, a former child actor and child advocate, is still involved in the Hollywood scene and follows the trends, especially where past and present child actors are concerned. Read his three part essay on “Hounddog” as well as those of guest columnists. Be sure to leave him a comment.

2. “Demand Justice For Child Sexual Exploitation in Films” (thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/467880755): Activist Robert Lacey of North Carolina is forwarding his petition to the Attorney General of his state (where the movie was made). He presents legal documentation, personal commentary and valuable links to further sources of information. Please consider signing his online petition.

“Hounddog” has not yet been released. We know it has been extensively re-edited because of it’s graphic content at the direction of lawyers. It may even have been retitled. It may also have been suppressed by Paramount Pictures to prevent interference with “Charlotte’s Web”, Dakota’s “cutsie” children’s film coming out on December 20th. Possibly it will be released directly to DVD, like so many of Full Moon Films’ other obnoxious efforts.

Remember: We’re not anti-Dakota. We’re anti-exploitation. We care about children in general and child actors in particular. This film represents a danger to them all. Your support could be crucial.

Thanks.

I agree, that is messed up. Good way to encourage the sick SOB’s that are into that type of perversity. I have kids of my own, I know I wouldn’t want or allow them to act in that part.

All this hoo-hah about Dakota Fanning’s rape scene is totally over the top. There are so many people around who themselves have a problem about children and any suggestion of sex. I’m sure young Ms.Fanning knows all about the act of sexual intercourse and what constitutes rape and what does not. She is about 12 or 13 years old, and young people of that age in western society are really very knowledgeable indeed. Many girls of her age are already involved in serious sexual experimentation with other young people of similar age, though I am not here suggesting that Ms Fanning is thus involved.

For God’s sake give youngsters some credit for having their own minds and their own thoughts and views. Who are these protesters who think they can declare themselves to be some kind of experts and set themselves up as ‘Sex Police’

I am a schoolteacher and I have extensive contact with students of Dakota Fanning’s age. They are a really sharp and intelligent age group with far, far more awareness than most of their condescending ‘protectors’ would wish to accept.

Leave the girl alone - she has not come to any harm be it physical, emotional and certainly not sexual.
