I thought it was a joke, a photoshop job, a hoax even but it's not.

WTF

A children's entertainer in a library with this costume?

Theres already a substantial thread covering this in Feminism, I believe.

Mad.

SirVixofVixHall · 11/07/2021 23:09

I am so sick of this, the deliberate targeting of children with hyper sexualised stuff.

Holothane · 11/07/2021 23:09

I know it’s dreadful I couldn’t believe my eyes as bad as they are, shocking.

FanOnCurtainsClosed · 11/07/2021 23:09

Nope still there Shock

Mummyoflittledragon · 11/07/2021 23:12

There may be a thread about this is the debate section. But this is safeguarding. It belongs in AIBU.

Why are people voting YABU?!

Some posters hide the feminism boards. This is an important topic that shouldn't be relegated to the 'naughty corner' (fabulous place that it is).

Clearly people like us 'are on the wrong side of history'. #sarcasm

it is not ok to have a large male penis, fake or not, on show to children.

Hyacinth88 · 11/07/2021 23:17

It's a fake baboons bottom. Part of a story.

Caritas · 11/07/2021 23:17

Beyond horrifying, same as the libraries that have exposed children to the disgusting drag queen storytelling sessions.

InFiveMins · 11/07/2021 23:18

@Hyacinth88 have you seen the first picture? It's displaying a rather large penis!

househousehousefox · 11/07/2021 23:18

Oh god thats vile. how is that legal?

Cabinfever10 · 11/07/2021 23:19

@BlackeyedSusan not only shown but jiggled about in a dance there's a link to the video on the other thread.

househousehousefox · 11/07/2021 23:19

and how do you find the thread on fem boards?
sick bastards

Fair enough on the fake baboon bottom. My four year old finds bottoms hilarious.

How do you explain the big swinging dick though? Not sure I remember that one from any children's stories?

elgreco · 11/07/2021 23:20

What part of the story does the fake erect penis tell?

Lockheart · 11/07/2021 23:21

@BlackeyedSusan

it is not ok to have a large male penis, fake or not, on show to children.
But it would be ok if it was small? Or female?

Presumably about half the children in the audience also have male penises (the horror).

I'm not denying it's highly, HIGHLY inappropriate, but come on, let's be sensible.

Lockheart · 11/07/2021 23:22

You can tell from the photos it's not erect.

Can we please stop making shit up?
