The hill .
So this is it, huh? Defending child sexualization and having the literal gaul to accuse anyone else of being any "ist" "phobe" or "ic". Good to know,. Peter Degrelle (talk) 21:03, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I believe you are confused about what her film is about due to a poorly thought out marketing campaign from Netflix (the distributor of the film outside of France). This combined with internet outrage/“cancel culture” has made her film seem like something it isn’t. I’d recommend watching the movie for yourself when it is released to make up your own mind instead. --2A00:23C6:CC00:A00:9913:2DC6:E8CE:4B3F (talk) 09:44, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Intent, context, and impact do all matter, however it can both be true that Doucoure intended to comment critically about child sexualization while failing to live up to basic standards. I believe the marketing claim is also a misdirection. The promo poster is from the most criticized three minute scene in the movie. That section should be changed to reflect that.108.30.104.60 (talk) 17:19, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

Nationality
and got themselves into a friendly back-and-forth (and back again) regarding the label "French-Senegalese", both here as well as on [Cuties]. While they have apparently found an accommodation by giving each the last word in one of the cases, that outcome is not entirely satisfactory. She refers to herself as French, while the source quoted on Cuties never even mentions any country. Regarding the source used here, RaphaelQS contends that "in the French context, French-Senegalese don't[sic] refer to ethnicity but exclusively to nationality". That assertion strikes me as not impossible, but somewhat unlikely. And, indeed, the French version of this very article contradicts it by labelling her "franco-sénégalaise" but listing her nationality as only "Française" in the infobox.

To be clear: I consider it quite possible, maybe even likely, that she holds dual citizenship. But in with respect to WP:BIO it would seem prudent to defer to her own statement on the matter unless someone finds a definitive source. Even then, it should probably go into the Infobox, because in the introduction it is easily mistaken for a statement of ethnicity, which we tend to avoid. --Matthias Winkelmann (talk) 07:20, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Unless she holds dual citizenship (which would require a source that explicitly supports such information), she should be described solely as French. RaphaelQS's last edit summary (the assertion that the "French-Senegalese" label refers exclusively to nationality) comes across as WP:OR, to be honest.  snap snap  (talk) 08:52, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * It's not entirely impossible. Maybe the one sense is far more prominent, if not exclusive. And, of course, there is a good chance that they are right on the facts, just in need of a source. There is also an argument to be made that her heritage is relevant, especially for the article on the movie. It's just that WP:BIO with regards to ethnicity(-adjacent) attributes is also rather important. Matthias Winkelmann (talk) 21:10, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
