Everyone knows something like this is happening. But this is the only experiment to fully demonstrate what excessive openness on the internet means. The filmmaking couple hired youthful-looking (but over 18) actresses to pretend to be prepubescent girls and communicate with strangers who approached them based on their fake accounts. They attracted dozens of men in the first ten days, then hundreds, and finally thousands...

i’m not afraid of god, i’m afraid of men

Spending the entire day watching this film on and off, unable to sit through it pass 10 minutes or so without another break has made me realized how little I’ve actually processed or made peace with what had happened to me when I was 14 up to 16 and I doubt there’s much I can do and if there’s any lesson I’ve learned now being online and experiencing all of this, this is not the place to air them out. All you need to know is those photos are still out there some where, those people who took advantage of me and my pain and dysphoria and need for understanding and love are still out there somewhere doing god knows what but if anything about this doc has given me greater insight into. its that Caught in the Net is as much about the predators as it is about the girls who meet these filth and specifically, the mindset, the why?
For the longest time I’ve hated and blamed myself for ever meeting them but most of all going back again and again, it felt foolish and disgusting then as it does now but it was that or being alone and I tried justifying it, their influences getting to me and I just felt powerless. Of course for most other girls the circumstances aren’t that extreme, being a teenager on its own can be a very isolating time where disagreements between parents are bound to happen but its the way these pedos pray upon whatever it is that drives these girls to opening up and talking to them that’s so sickening. Flaunting money, gaslighting, manipulation, blackmailing, connection and power imbalance over them to pressure and get what they want and this perfectly captures how it feels to be in the position of having this thrust upon you, chuckling and smiling in disbelief and silence as the people on the other end convince themselves? Justify whatever it is they’re doing? I don’t even know how to describe it fully but it’s a like a cold uncaring mind game and you have no say whatever it is they’re gonna do or send or demand and I hate having to experience all that again.
As a whole the ethics of the documentary itself especially in how it creates “evidence” for lack of a better word can be troubling and I get wanting to play around on set especially when the work itself is this demanding and disturbing but there is jarringness to that, the glee of the crew and cast catching and analyzing these real pedos in real time as if what they’re doing leads to something happen which by the end we don’t know if it does but the collective atmosphere here is just total disbelief and dissonance, the absurdity that this happens to more and more kids at some point or another growing up online and that there’s no way to palpable combat against it, how the artificial child bedroom set slowly turns into a morbid chamber where so much sickness is thrown onto young girls and in that, in the actresses’ play and camaraderie it’s almost an attempt to regain innocence and some control again of this environment and imagery in which they infused their actual childhood items into, against the misogyny, victim blaming, heartless and apathetic use of this girls as objects and nothing more.
What Caught in the Net provides more than say your average To Catch Your Predator episode is that kind of psychological insight into both the predators themselves and how and why these things happened to us girls. Despite its shortcomings and distracting quirks, this is effective in being a study of how these things operate and happens and where empathy is further needed in order to understand and not victim blame or cause further pressure to those this happens to but be warned, these footages are very real and graphic and a lot of the info provided with glee by these pedos are downright terrifying in the realest sense of that word and if you’ve been there, watching this feels like it’s happening to you again. I can tolerate a lot of disturbing movies but this is one of the only ones I have no further interest in seeing again which says a lot of you know me. If I have anything I could say to underage girls or boys on the internet just remember, evil doesn’t announce itself it just is sometimes so plain in sight it’s hard to see but if you feel it, really do then its there. Please be careful, don’t do what you don’t feel like doing.

No le doy el 10 porque lo de enseñar un video pedofilo real de una niña que no tendrá ni 10 años que aunque esté pixelado se distingue todo, está feo la verdad
