'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

You are right and this is awful but look over there at some right wing squirrels.

^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^

Why are the left silent on this? The 'extreme right' smears aren't working. Anymore.

We learn in safeguarding training that allowing a child to watch sexual context knowingly at home can be a form of abusive behaviour - so how is this allowed?

Seems its only really you whos interested in making this a left right issue, DuLANG.

Most people are saying we can care about this without having to involve scumbags

Patroclus · 01/03/2020 20:35

Some of us can concentrate on 2 issues at once. Amazing I know

DuLANGMondeFOREVER · 01/03/2020 20:35

So because the video was shared by a right winger women shouldn’t draw attention to it? Is that what you are saying?

Because that ain’t how you safeguarding kids, that’s how you enable abusers.

Patroclus · 01/03/2020 20:36

Thats neither what I nor anybody said, no. It perhaps what you wish I had said.

Well, telling us to google children and strippers didn’t work.

CallofDoodee · 01/03/2020 21:55

So we should ignore this because it was a right winger not a left winger who posted it?

These comments say it all for me. The only child in the room is looking uncomfortable and confused. Her natural red flags are pinging all over the place but the adults in the room are all encouraging this to continue.

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.

Quite!
