Question.. (Shut Up And Dance)... Were They All...


... child molesters/into child porn? Or was the teenaged kid being framed at the end?

Sorry I was a little confused by that

reply

As far as we know, Kenny never actually touched a child, but he is a pedophile.

Don't know for sure about the man he killed, but yes, he was at least a pedophile.


reply

I guess what I'm asking is, was the lead character teenager really into child porn? Or was he being framed at the end?

reply

No, he wasn't being framed.

Yes, he is really into child porn, which is the reason he went along with all those instructions, no matter how extreme they got, to prevent that fact from being revealed.


reply

That was confusing to me because it seemed like he was just wacking off to 'regular' porn... because he saw the hot chick on the TV commercial when he was watching with his sister, then went in his room to take care of business.

Were all the people under control, supposed to be child molesters/child porn people?

If so, why was that woman they showed only outed for a 'racist email' scandal?

Seems a little confusing... maybe it's just me though

I think you need to re-watch the episode. They all had some dark secrets (the man Kenny ended up robbing a bank with, for instance, used an escort service), but only Kenny and the man he fought to the death were pedophiles.

It is unclear what the black guy was guilty of - all we know is that it is some sexual perversion he didn't want people to find out about. But considering how few things he was instructed to do, it couldn't have been pedophilia.

Thanks, I'll definitely rewatch it.

I did catch that Bronn (from GoT) was just using an escort service, but for some reason at the end I thought maybe they were trying to say that they were all into kids... but obviously that doesn't make sense.

Anyway thanks for putting up with my dumb questions! :-)

He did say he wanted to have sex with a 20 something. Which isn't the same but he is still a perv to me because he was so much older.

I agree that you should watch the episode again. I don't mean this to be snarky at all, but if you really watch and pay attention it is pretty obvious that what he was doing was much darker and horrifying than masturbating to regular porn, given how distraught he was at potentially being outed and how willing he was to go along with all the demands. A video of him masturbating would obviously be humiliating, but not as horrific and life-ruining as everyone knowing it was child porn he was getting off to.

There are pretty big hints that it was child porn before it's revealed towards the end that he was in fact looking at children. And if you notice, he is watching the sexy woman on TV but the expression on his face doesn't show much interest, and he ends up getting up and walking to his room to look at what he really wants.

when he said to the other main dude (escort guy/driver) 'it was just a picture or two...' i knew. icky icky.

We don't know if he was watching child PORN. He masturbated watching children, but as far as we know, the children in the video could have been playing in the park. The fact is that he got excited and jacked off watching them.
Besides, child porn is (luckily) not that easy to find just by googling it.

reply

At the end, was the wife insinuating that Hector had molested their daughter Mindy? Or was Mindy the name of the escort?

reply

The name of the whore

You are just too stupid to understand. The teenager WAS a pedophile, just watch the first scenes at that McDonald's. Moron

People into kiddie porn. Pretty effing sick. Disgusting.

People who feel the need to just be a straight-out dick for no reason at all. Not as disgusting as someone who gets off on kids...but pretty twisted and sick in a completely different way. And considering there are more of you, and your kind strikes out indiscriminately, ultimately more corrosive to society.

What you have in common with a pedophile is that there's something just...off...in how you're wired.

Seek help.
