CORRECTION, July 20, 2023: A previous version of this article misstated Noah Berlatsky’s arguments in a piece published by the Prostasia Foundation. He argued that destigmatizing pedophilia or “sexual attraction to minors” would reduce child sexual abuse. The Western Journal apologizes to Mr. Berlatsky, the Prostasia Foundation and our readers.
The author of a recent hit piece published by Bloomberg that questioned the motives of the box office hit “Sound of Freedom,” which highlighted the plight of children trafficked for sex, previously defended pedophilia.
Noah Berlatsky criticized the film on Saturday for relying on what he called “tired Hollywood tropes.”
Among those tropes are that “bad guys are unremittingly evil, and the good guys are sensitive and unfailingly virtuous.”
Berlatsky, who portrayed the film as “controversial,” tried to paint the child sex trade as being more nuanced than it is shown in “Sound of Freedom.”
The smash hit tells the story of former Homeland Security operative Tim Ballard and his fight to save two children from the chains of slavery.
“The film is controversial because the man the movie is about, former Homeland Security operative Tim Ballard, and the actor who plays him, Jim Caviezel, both have links to QAnon,” Berlatsky wrote.
He added, “So, is Sound of Freedom a QAnon dog whistle, or is it just another thriller? The answer is that — whatever the filmmaker’s intentions — it functions as both.”
