'Disturbing' film of child being involved in drag queen performance

Not sure of context but doesn't seem right to have a child being surrounded by adults cheering on a drag artist with arse handing out crawling on all fours towards a scared/overwhelmed looking child.

I think it speaks of a culture where parents are so afraid of not looking open minded that they don't consider the child's feelings.

Yanbu = yes it appears like bad parenting choices
Yabu = it's fine, I'd be happy if this was my child

He’s a Christian, right wing blogger, pro men’s’ rights’ anti abortion ( even in rape cases, said that a pregnant 12 year old victims should Carry to term as abortion would destroy the ‘evidence’,) anti immigration, anti feminist and anti gender equality, transphobic ( leads to pedophilla) and on and on.
CNN and BBC are all ‘fake’ news and has a history of using doctored/edited footage to prove his points...

And Tommy Robinson is an odious arsehole, but he was right about the grooming gangs.

If the messenger is an awful human being, it doesn’t automatically mean a kid isn’t being traumatised, or violated.

originalcobra · 01/03/2020 17:05

Lack of context and dodgy source = sceptical.

Thelnebriati · 01/03/2020 17:05

Great originalcobra, you focus on purity politics while safeguarding goes out the window and children have to sit through drag acts aimed at them.

Right, OK.

I and lots of other people agree with him that little kids shouldn't be exposed to sexual imagery in the way that this girl is being exposed to it in this video.

What's your point?

I hope this video is doctored to be honest, but then it's moot anyway as there are plenty of people out there who appear to think what is depicted in the clip is totally normal anyway.

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 01/03/2020 17:11

Wrong thread, Bovary! But excellent comment, please copy over!

"What's your point?"
unreliable source, no context.

BovaryX · 01/03/2020 17:16

Sorry wrong thread! Have posted in correct place and will report it

HisValentine · 01/03/2020 17:18

Repulsive. I hope children's services get involved

CallofDoodee · 01/03/2020 17:20

unreliable source, no context.

Yeah well I honestly do look forward to the debunking of this one if it means that a little girl wasn't actually exposed to a sexual display by an adult man.

My2catsarefab · 01/03/2020 17:24

Urgh. Stop the world I want to get off. Shame on the adults who arranged, those who watched and those who did nothing to remove the child from that situation.

Durgasarrow · 01/03/2020 17:43

I look at that ridiculous mess and I think, did someone forget that parenting is not an eight hour a day job? That you're on duty all day, all night, all week, all month, all year long? You're supposed to be the adult with the judgment, not the woky woky look how cool I am insecure jackass who doesn't know that it's not all fun and games. There's one woman there who has the most ridiculous look on her face as she sways along, it makes me want to smack her.

Lordfrontpaw · 01/03/2020 18:57

I took her to be the mom and/or organiser. What an idiotic creature.

Patroclus · 01/03/2020 19:19

Wallowing is right. People on here pretending tht the likes of Piers fucking Morgan 'are protecting women' and other right wing slimeballs because they happen to agree on this subject. They dont care about women- its just a way for them to get away with hating another minority for a bit longer

koshkatt · 01/03/2020 19:32

And where are the left on this....full on in support that's where.

Patroclus · 01/03/2020 19:39

I arnt. And im pretty far left. Get called TERF daily.

Patroclus · 01/03/2020 19:40

But the point is Matt fucking Walsh isnt posting this because hes worried about women's right. I know it, you all know it so lets not play silly buggers.

Patroclus · 01/03/2020 19:41

And actually the main opposition seems to come from very left wing feminists

Clymene · 01/03/2020 19:45

I don't like my neighbour very much. He's a right wing kipper who is having a blatant affair. If he told me my house was burning down though, I'd believe him.

koshkatt · 01/03/2020 19:47

Yes I am one of those left wing feminists and am appalled at the silence of the left on this issue. The Guardian for example? Or the Green Party? Or the Labour Party? They should all be ashamed.

janemaster · 01/03/2020 20:12

Yes the left are silent. But getting into bed with the extreme right wing is shit as well.

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 01/03/2020 20:15

No one is ‘getting into bed’ with anyone.

Kids shouldn’t be subjected to sexualised behaviour. Full stop.

This is not a right/left issue!

BovaryX · 01/03/2020 20:17

Yes the left are silent

Remind us again. Why is that?

janemaster · 01/03/2020 20:17

No one is arguing that kids should not be subject to sexualised behaviour. No one here.
But some gender critical feminists have worked with the extreme right wing, share their posts, get interviewed by them. I know there are others who are appalled at this. But don't pretend the first lot don't exist.
