Reviews of Disney�s remake of �The Little Mermaid� were mixed, with even the
most generous viewers wondering if the film was necessary. But the review
from movie critic Wesley Morris for The New York Times is getting attention
for wondering about the lack of �kink� in the children�s movie.

�The new, live-action �The Little Mermaid� is everything nobody should want
in a movie: dutiful and defensive, yet desperate for approval,� Morris wrote
in his review.

�It reeks of obligation and noble intentions. Joy, fun, mystery, risk,
flavor, kink � they�re missing,� he continued.

People immediately noticed that Morris chose to use the word �kink� for a
PG-rated movie that was advertised for children and families. While the word
has multiple meanings, it�s frequently used in pop culture to refer to
offbeat sexual preferences.

�The New York Times just put up a review of the Little Mermaid where the
reviewer complains that KINK was missing from the film. The definition of
kink: a person�s unusual sexual preferences. Same media denies the left
sexualizes kids. The reviewer needs his hard drives reviewed,� conservative
social media influencer Robby Starbuck wrote on Twitter.

�The New York Times complaining about the lack of �kink� in The Little
Mermaid pretty much sums up where we�re at. Corrupt perverts in charge,
abject degeneracy proud on full display, their contempt for traditional
values transformed into a seething hatred for ordinary people,� the host of
The Martyr Made Podcast shared.

While many critics praised the film�s lead, Halle Bailey, the rest of the
movie left a lot of viewers disappointed.

The NPR reviewer called the live-action remake �an artistic dead end� that
�may make commercial sense� but is ultimately �unnecessary.�

�Like a lot of its fellow Disney remakes, this Little Mermaid too often feels
like a dutiful cover version rather than an inspired reimagining,� the review
says.

�There is nothing innovative or reformist about what happens in this movie,�
the Huffington Post reviewer wrote.

�While the original �The Little Mermaid� dazzled with its beautifully
imaginative underwater kingdom and talking sea creatures, Rob Marshall�s
remake is a soulless cash grab utterly devoid of any hint of charm of visual
whimsy,� another review said.

[Before we jump to conclusions, maybe "kink" is new-fangled Hollywood slang
for "talent".]

But they're not coming for your children. Don't worry. Those drag shows
in the elementary schools are just an attempt to relieve the children of
their appalling lack of kink.

Exactly. The Times will run editorial after editorial lambasting the
"MAGA plot to turn innocent school-time drag shows into something
sinister", then run a movie review for a children's movie that says it
should have not only more sex but more weird sex in it.
