You can criticise the sexualisation of female children without giving pedophiles something to put in their spank bank.

Seriously, I've seen child dancers whose performances were unnecessarily sexualised, and it was creepy as hell, but this is so much worse. The footage of their performance just looks like what you would see if a pedophile started a strip club. The dance moves are just straight out of explicit stripping routines and mimic porn moves, and the costumes are intended to show off their crotches and arses while the dance moves draw focus to these areas. And if that's not enough, the fucking camera work makes it clear whose eyes we're seeing this through, just in case it wasn't obvious enough already.

Men who think it's no big deal should be regarded with suspicion.

Yeah, and when did putting your hand to your crotch and stroking it, or humping the floor become legitimate “dance moves?” Im sure the Alvin Alley Dance Company is twirking right now to express a choreographer’s political ideas. Not.
