THIS FILM IS A NEW LOW AND CROSSES A HUGE LINE.
SETH ROGEN HAS A LOT TO ANSWER FOR.
The movie-making and entertainment bar has
just been lowered to a depressing new low. Seth Rogen (who brought you “Superbad”
and “Sausage Party”) has a new, raunchy, “R”-rated film entitled “Good Boys”
about three middle school friends who innocently get caught up in today’s
depraved culture. A new line has been crossed with this show. It’s something
NEW, something evil. Watch any iteration of “Good Boys” several different trailers
and you will weep. You’ll wonder how a more-or-less mainstream creative
mind—such as Rogen’s--could come up with something so devilish. Actually, it’s
not that his mind WENT there, but that he EXECUTED this complete degradation of
young people—a previously taboo, off-limits maneuver. Think about it. I’m sure plenty of studios and
screenwriters and producers and actors and show-runners have dreamt up nasty
story-lines involving kids--but basic human decency prevented them from moving
forward. That is no longer the case.
You see, when you call something a comedy,
especially an “over the top” comedy—wink, wink…anything goes, even the dismantling of childhood (although I would
suspect even some comedians known for their lascivious adult stage shows will
agree that “Good Boys” goes too far, because…kids). It’s open season on kids if
you haven’t noticed. We are destroying our children and youth through neglect, porn,
lack of parenting, removing boundaries, questioning the very concept of
childhood, allowing unbridled media use—not to mention gaslighting them with
false gender ideology. And legally? We’re quickly smashing anything that
protects young people from adults who wish them different types of harm.
Even if something is fiendishly clever and
thereby also humorous, what we audiences actually choose to watch and what we
actually laugh at says a lot about OUR character. And we’re complicit by our
support and by feeding ourselves with refuse like “Good Boys.” What greater
mockery of goodness could we have than wishing to corrupt youth at younger and
younger ages? Men are the initiators of the gift of love and life. It’s bad
enough that—in the absence of strong, noble fathers/father-figures/mentors—young
men socialize each other to exploiting power and the abuse of women and
children (when they are called to use their power to protect women and
children). Now we want to wickedly de-moralize young boys? Start ‘em off
younger and younger on the wrong road?
You’ve never heard me say this before, but
I hope you loudly BOYcott this film—AND squawk any way you can: to sponsors,
theaters, the filmmakers, friends and family. Get petitions going. Resist.
Fight back. Fight for our kids. If you care. As for Seth Rogen? He has a lot to
answer for.
God does not take kindly to those who harm kids.

(I knew this day would come. If everything is just a social construct, so is childhood.)
