The flag here for WhereTheDeadGoToDie was sent with the rationale

The film contains at least four scenes of children in sexual situations, some with nudity. I'm not certain on this one, but couldn't find any prior discussion and felt it was worth addressing.

This movie is a work of surreal and psychological horror, and the sexual abuse is part of that. It's gross, but it was meant to be.

Here there is a Wikipedia page. Seems like ^ has a point, although as I've mentioned elsewhere sometimes a scene can be both titillating for some people and horrifying, depending on level & nature of detail. So without someone examining the scenes in question, I am reserving judgment.

I've seen reviews of the film before, not the full thing, so I can't say how sexy any of these scenes are meant to be... but considering the intentionally terrifying animation and the fact that it's a very deliberately edgy work...

I haven't seen it, but it looks like pure horror, not porn.

Nothing about it gives me pedo pandering vibes, it's meant to be gross, edgy, and psychologically horrifying.

This is grotesque surreal horror using very deliberately disturbing imagery and concepts, and uses Uncanny Valley animation. It's not porn and I seriously doubt it's pedopandering considering how horrifying it's presented as. You could argue it's tasteless and of dubious quality, but that's not what we judge. Keep.

I'm admittingly mostly familiar with this from reviews and when people tried posting Labbie as a CM on the complete monster cleanup thread. But I got the idea that this is just a grotesque and distributing nightmare fest rather than anything pornographic or pedophilic (the imagery kinda doesn't suit titilating....)

This is just a gross and disturbing Torture Porn and Exploitation Film, I'd say treat it the same as we do with A Serbian Film.

OK, calling this for keep. I see the suggestion of locking (which is what we did with A Serbian Film) but I don't see much support nor any particular problem that would require it at this juncture. Tagging, updating, locking.
