#DigitalLivesMatter

Lots of open-palmed hitting and slapping. One punch in the face. Played for comedy, a man is tied up and forced to get a tattoo. A man fondles a woman's breast and gets slapped. A gun is brandished in a rescue attempt. A woman sprays mace at two would-be muggers.

A couple of kisses. A brief screen shot of naked breasts. Sex or sexuality is often referred to, like inverted nipples, an old woman's sagging breasts, twerking, making a douche, asking about a threesome, and exaggerated tongue wiggling that implies oral sex. Most soundtrack songs have explicit lyrics about sex. An infomercial spoof shows a real Internet celebrity, Mizz Twerksum, demonstrating twerking and may inspire curious viewers who haven't seen them to look up her videos on YouTube.

DC's catchphrase is "fawwkyoumean," meant to sound like "f--k you mean." Lots of other variations of "f--k." "P---y," "s--t," "ass," "damn," the "N" word, "bitch," "bulls--t," "asshole," "hell," and "piss." Verbal hostility and calling names like "idiot." Lots of profanity in soundtrack lyrics.

The opening scene in a nightclub shows table service in the VIP area. Past uploads of DC smoking marijuana. DC and Theo share a cigarillo, which some viewers may assume is a blunt (the tobacco is replaced with marijuana). DC tries to pass a surprise drug test by drinking lots of vinegar beforehand. Muggers ask their target about illnesses she may have, implying they hope she has drugs in her purse. A montage briefly shows two hands exchanging something small. A character is shown using an asthma inhaler once.

Parents need to know that #DigitalLivesMatter is an edgy comedy about a young man who learns that his actions, words, and social media posts have consequences, and that his online followers are actual people with feelings that should be taken into account. There are a lot of sexual references, a brief shot of naked breasts, and a demonstration of twerking. There's also a lot of profanity, including "p---y," the "N" word, and lots of variations of "f--k." The importance of having lots of followers, likes, and reposts is never challenged, so it's a good opportunity to talk to kids about their social media presence, how they present themselves, and how online responses affect their self esteem. Smoking marijuana is depicted, and the opening scene shows table service in the VIP area of a nightclub. Violence is mostly open-handed slapping and hitting; once a man fondles a woman's breast and she slaps him, and a gun is brandished in a rescue attempt. Main character DC's friends and his family are positive role models and positive representations of African Americans. DC himself isn't a great role model but learns his lesson and changes.
