Obscene costumed volunteers handing out summer reading at Redbridge library

[WombOfOnesOwn]

A library had a man in a rainbow monkey costume, with a dildo penis and a fake exposed butt, handing out summer reading books.

Look at this obscene sex clown mocking and terrorising local Muslim women:

The library is, of course, apologizing about it now:

But during the event, they thought it was pretty funny:

What is happening? Why should parents going to the library's summer reading program worry that THIS is what they'll see? The website for this troupe of "performers" clearly shows this monkey performer with his fake penises inch from children's faces. There has been no vetting. No safeguarding.

And there'll just be an apology, another "isolated incident." Of course, the local Muslim women and girls know exactly what this library thinks of them now, and what may happen to them if they choose to even walk nearby. Do we think they're going to want to go in?

Anyone just exhausted by the onslaught of dangerous fucking stupidity and people falling for it? I'm quite sure plenty of LGBT parents would not be ok with this shit either.

I hate the drag queen shite in libraries too. Don't particularly love or hate drag... but how does it benefit children? Why do we have to push adult stuff at them? They have enough to deal with. Just totally sick of it.

I just saw this on Women are Human, where is the safeguarding for this.
-I mean it's obvious it's not appropriate for children but no one seems to care.

I seen this on Twitter this morning. Its appalling and the response from the Labour councillor was awful.

There were many responses on twitter stating that trying to maintain our children innocence was basically anti gay and hindering any possible trans children.

When will these idiots learn.
Like gay and trans children need to see rainbow coloured monkeys with huge swinging cocks and when they bend over they showa huge naked arse exposing the arse hole.

I have a lesbian sister. This does not represent her, neither has it ever represented her.

Its men jumping around it their horrible fucking outfits taking the piss out of our kids.

@Mumteedum has said it for me.

Because these people represent the LGBT community right.

Not.

I sent an email to the Body Shop the other day about the email I got showing me how to be an ally to the LGBT community, it had picture of a drag queen on it.

Drag queens do not represent the the lesbian and gay people I know. They are being trotted out because the trans movement. But that's a whole other thread I could rant about tbh

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

There is quite a lot of discussion about this on the end of the WiSpa thread as well.

I saw this earlier.

It's just grooming in plain sight. Fucking hell.

Why do they think they can get away with it? That's the question.

[WombOfOnesOwn]

At the performance this group gave at the Olympic Park, the penis was some sort of cartoonish costumey thing. Now at the library, it's a dildo.

How long until they cut a hole in the costume and just stick a real penis through? After all, it's okay if kids are exposed to nudity and kink as long as it's rainbow colored and about being "proud," right? Why would anyone object?

There's a certain part of the chattering classes who think that feeling totally blase about anything normal people would be disgusted by, while being simultaneously incredibly incensed by tiny linguistic issues like pronouns and putting a space between "trans" and "woman," makes them the very height of sophistication and coolness.

[Akire]

I can’t believe when they showed up and got changed at the library that not one member of staff thought mmmmm there is a problem here. It’s obvious some sort of sex adult play outfit. Just naked monkey bum they may have got away with but alarms bells would ring the fact it had a hole in it…, then the nipples and way shaved and then obvious penis swinging around. I mean even if some
Major booking mistake SOMEONE there would have said SOMETHING!

[Mumteedum]

@scrambledcustarde Well exactly. It's just so clueless. The people booking this stuff think they're doing something for their lgbt tick box.

[Masdintle]

I've read a few threads mentioning this appalling occurrence, but I have only just noticed the naked huge nipples as well as the dildo and exposed arse. This is hideous.

[Betty91]

Libraries everywhere have fallen for all these "drama" companies who say they are all about helping kids engage with reading - one a local theatre company used for a kids' show one and the guy who ran it had public Instagram account full of fetish photos. No due diligence is done or if it is it's not considered inappropriate.

I do not understand these Mums taking their toddler to drag reading events - if a woman was dressed like the drag performers no one would stay more than 3 seconds... it's totally nuts.

[TheDinosaurMum]

I can't quite fond the words to describe how bizzare, disturbing and just plain wrong this is at length.

But when they got changed surely, surely a sensible adult should have said "I'm sorry but you can't swing a dick around in front of the kids, you are going to have to change"

Where was the sensible adult?!?!

[AlfonsoTheMango]

Appalling.

[BlowDryRat]

I can't believe not one member of staff at the library said anything. What were they thinking?!

[scrambledcustard]

@BlowDryRat

"If you've got it flaunt it'

Thats what they were thinking ..

[Lottapianos]

'I can't quite fond the words to describe how bizzare, disturbing and just plain wrong this is at length.'

Same here. Can barely believe my own eyes. Does absolutely no one give a shit about safeguarding anymore?

[Akire]

I agree with the volunteer thing that’s not going help. One videos not only is the monkey doing pelvic thrusts for obvious reasons but the strawberry red or whatever the person in red is called is also busy thrusting away in a dress. There is nothing but clear suggestive behaviour.

[MrsOvertonsWindow]

Isn't it interesting to see so many reactions from people on facebook? All universally horrified at what women have been warning for ages is the end game of all this

[littlbrowndog]

What was the library staff thinking when this person turned up with a big dildo hanging out of their costume

Ffs are people so,afraid that they can’t protect children ?

[StealthPolarBear]

"ScaredOfDinosaurs

WTAF is this shit?"
Some serious and sinister boundary-pushing. I'd like to think this monstrosity will be on the front page of every newspaper tomorrow, with stonewall mentioned clearly but of course it won't be.
