Parents' Guide to #DigitalLivesMatter

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.
