Does Nationwide Building Society REALLY think adult babies are worthy of respect?

So a poster on Twitter made a thread about a throuple (this is a word for a sexual and romantic relationship between three people) where the three adult males like to imagine they are a family, and take the roles of mother, older sister and baby. The one who takes the part of the baby tweets about wearing a nappy and waking up with it "shitty".

It's not unusual for people to post about their "diaper-fetishes" on social media. Nor is it unusual for people to react strongly to such posts.

However this is the weird bit. A second poster tagged Nationwide Building Society in, and asked its personnel for comment. And Nationwide replied.

Wanna hear what the social media comms person said when Nationwide got tagged into a thread showing three males in a presumably sexual relationship who also roleplay as mother and daughters/sisters?

2/2 We believe it's more important than ever to have respect when talking to, or about one another. Please review your comment. #MutualRespect. Amy

Adult babies with sexual fixations on nappies are WORIADS, are they? Wow, we've dropped the standards some.

Sot here is.

What was that about "mutual respect", Amy?

Where are these people showing respect for others when they monopolise a changing table for their own sexually-motivated selfies and games?

I don't know if that's a table intended for babies and toddlers, or one intended for disabled adults, but I am sure what it's not intended for!

Show quote history

If they are using an adult changing table that's infuriating. There are so few of those available for people who need them for changing disabled adults.

I read it as non committal. They don't comment directly on the original post and mutual respect is a catchall term. You could read it as the throuple should have respect for the people who now need to wash their eyeballs!

But it was in response to them supporting pride.

No, the opening tweet from poster 1 did not mention Pride or Nationwide.

Tweet 2 from Poster 2 is the one that mentioned Pride. Poster Tunnocks tagged Nationwide and said that "all of the corporations, institutions and slebs who endorsed 'Pride' as it became ever more kink based are responsible for helping normalise this being out in public. Thanks Barclays, AskNationwide, etc etc^

The pictures were posted first,

But it was in response to them supporting pride.

I do think they should have stayed out of it but if they said they don’t #mutalrespect pride then they’ll have twice as many people coming down on them.

I just don’t get why people are angry at the bank.

If you have an issue with the photos or the people doing the acts then report the photos, take it up with them or comment on here about the people doing it - I just don’t think it’s fair that an entire bank and it’s employees suffer because one idiot posting #mutualrespect without even looking at it properly, when they’re not actually the ones posting about their fetishes on SM.

That poster tweeted those photos before tagging Nationwide. Nationwide could have scrolled up to see what they were replying to, and in all honesty should have just ignored the post and moved on.

What they have done instead, whether they meant to or not, is suggested kink play which involves acting out incestuous relationships with children is worthy of respect.

And in all honesty, I wish banks would fuck off with their social justice work. It’s embarrassing because (as clearly shown) they don’t understand what they hell they are cheerleading.

There's only one reason to bring a fetish out into public. It is to shock and disgust people and thus get even more of a kick out of it. The point of many fetishes is the sense of shame that is experienced... that's often where the actual sexual thrill lies. This involves unconventional people in the pursuit of sexual gratification.

To do this is very much NOT respectful of anyone else in society.

Personally I don't have respect for people who act in such an antisocial way.

There is such a thing as so open minded your brains fall out.

The pictures were posted first, CarefreeMe.

If the person on duty thought the thread was important enough to.reply to, twice, then it was important enough for him or her to Read the Opening Post and find out what Nationwide had been tagged in.

The person tagging was objecting to kinks like adult-babyism being normalised at Pride. What did Nationwide do?.Normalise it.

In your words, it's a heterosexual thing, so what has it got to do with Pride?

WomaninBoots · 02/12/2022 19:27

Nationwide should really have looked at the photos if they are going to declare to the world that we should "respect" what is in the photos, no ?

CarefreeMe · 02/12/2022 19:23

Why are nationwide getting the blame ffs!!

I hate this cancel culture we have these days and everyone is trying to find something to be triggered about.

Nationwide supported a pride event.

Someone decided to have a dig because they don’t agree with supporting pride.

Nationwide replied that they support pride.

So the person posted those photos and nationwide sent that in reply which is about having respect for everyone.
They probably didn’t even look at the photos.

I don’t get why people have more of an issue with nationwide, rather than the people who are doing what they disagree with.

I personally think dressing up as a baby etc is weird but this fetish has been well known for years and it’s usually a heterosexual couple and the baby is usually men who’ve been abused by their mum.
Most are asexual so it’s not even a sexual thing but they were fed with a bottle and hugged like a baby.

I would argue that this trip are literally just doing it for attention considering they’ve posted it all over SM as they’re ‘so different’.

It’s pretty fucked up but its not just a trans person thing and it’s not nationwides fault.

The idea of using a public adult changing table for sexual kicks.... rage inducing. It's like taking the absolute piss out of disabled people that actually have to use them isn't it?

What she said!

One of the photos posted by TroonyToons shows the one of the throuple who role-plays the baby lying on a changing table in a public bathroom. Sick.

What 'respect' is owed to anyone pushing their fetish in the face of non consenting others?

It's bloody awful behaviour. The particular gender identity of the person doing it has no bearing on it being still bloody awful behaviour.

Melroses · 02/12/2022 18:53

Why the HELL did the social media person on duty reply at all?

🤷‍♀️

I don't know why these Social Media professionals don't stick to their faux jolly replies and pointing people to the right place on their website/complaints system.

They are not there to change the world.

I've been using the internet without supervision since I was 16 years old. My emotional reactions to "male people posting pictures related to their fetishes" are flattened through overexposure, to an extent that is probably pathological. I saw these pictures before the building society replied and I just scrolled on by.

But Nationwide, when you instructed me to respect anyone engaging in incest roleplay, you made my cold dead heart feel something. I think it's rage though.

Seems like whoever manages their Twitter thread was bored one day so replied.

It's fucking grim is what it is.

oviraptor21 · 02/12/2022 18:36

It's a viewpoint that's 'worthy of respect in a democratic society'. Like woman = adult human female.

Fenlandia · 02/12/2022 18:29

So blinded by their own piety they didn't scroll up and see what the poster was responding to, hilarious and tragic at the same time.
