It's a child wearing full cover top and shorts. Oh dear, she has some leg exposed. Are we in 1800s? Would you feel the same if it was a boy?
If your mind immediately goes into "inappropriate" place when you see a young teenager sitting on the floor, I'm afraid it's more of a you problem.

That's the issue though, we don't see boys that age in equivalent poses and equivalent adult looking clothes.
It's actually a you issue if you think this is appropriate.

Bear with while I clutch my pearls ... Putin could nuke the west, and you're worried about a posed marketing photo?

Are you aware that it's possible to be bothered about more than one thing at a time?
@Pippa246 I think the style of the clothes, make up and pose look far too old for the age that the model looks.

StormingNorman · 22/11/2024 14:26

For me it’s the outfit. Leather shorts and a sheer leopard print top. It’s overtly sexual. Particularly with the red lipstick.

It’s reminiscent of the “on a bender” and “just been shagged” fashion photos from the 90s.

Child with makeup wearing adult style clothes posed in a suggestive way, yes, it's off.

It does look very adult, not just the pose but the clothes and is she wearing make up? I don't know why girls aren't allowed to be girls and need to be dressed up like mini adults.

Yes the clothes are rather adult - leather(look) shorts and an animal print top?

nfkl · 22/11/2024 14:08

It s off.
From the pose to the leather to the leopard print to the makeup.
She looks like she's 11, not even a teen yet.

mondaytosunday · 22/11/2024 14:04

It's a kid sitting awkward the floor. Not sure who the pleather/leather shorts would appeal too but looks fine to me.

Yep because sexial exploitation of children, still matters.
Legs open, mouth slightly open, it's a adult pose and completely unnecessary. Link how to complain and you won't be the only one doing so.

Why are you wasting time worrying about the OP then?!

If i accidentally photographed my dd at in that pose I would retake. I do think it is a bit odd for a professional marketing ad.

It’s really not. It can be a sign of hyper vigilance, for example. Which is a good thing - a paedo isn’t worried about things being inappropriate, they’d love it. EG when pregnant I experienced Pure O and was paranoid I’d abuse my child - it was my worst fear, so obviously I wasn’t going to go and do it!

You know that people can be concerned about multiple different issues at once, right?

YANBU OP.

Babbahabba · 22/11/2024 12:23

I know what you mean, the pose is a bit suggestive but I couldn't be bothered to complain about it.

A child shouldn't be posed in that way. There are more age appropriate ways to pose that child in that outfit.

Yep - it’s off

Off in what way?

Guessing she think it looks a bit inappropriate?

Like the girl is posing older than her age?
