This is abuse. What kind of parent takes their baby to a show like this?

It’s terrible. There is no justification for it.

Theres a really interesting thread on the feminism board too.

IkBenDeMol · 03/03/2023 20:23

Ones who are so "open minded" that their brains have fallen out.

WhisperingAutistic · 03/03/2023 20:23

I saw this earlier. It's vile.

AndTheSurveySays · 03/03/2023 20:24

It's repugnant.

Just look at the grinning adults in the pics. Poor children.

It is photoshopped? Just seems very odd

No. And the statement released by the company seems to suggest nothing wrong with it.

What the actual fuck is going on here? 😐😐

CoedenNadoligLanOHyd · 03/03/2023 20:32

Disgusting, wtf us wrong with these mothers. Taking their babies to watch that shit.

It's blatant grooming and erosion of boundaries.

dollypartin · 03/03/2023 20:35

These look photoshopped/fake. I highly doubt anyone would take their child to a show like this, or that drag queens would do it? Seems unlikely

It's definitely true. It's been widely reported and the company have commented.

There are about 15% of the population who support this ideology.

I always try to remind myself that intelligeise is complex, it's not just linguistics and memory recall skills and half of the population is of below average intelligence.

Those safeguarding, making arrests, prosecuting and judging are thieves, taking money for a job they aren't doing due to cowardice or stupidity.

I strongly suspect cowardice after watching what happened to an autistic boy receiving death threats for not believing in another ideology.

Apparently it's far right to think this isn't on or object to earth worship taxation for driving in London.

We aren't allowed to safeguard the genuine vulnerable or have freedom of belief.

I hope those grinning idiots who think it’s all a bit of ‘harmless’ fun take a long hard look at why their mugs are plastered all over social media and the Daily Mail today. Hopefully they may reflect on their life choices and what wholesome role models they are choosing for their DC.

Or maybe they think they’re progressive rebels “I’m not a regular mom, I’m a cool mom.” Yeah ok love. 🙄

Emperor’s New Clothes. Some of the facial expressions on the adults are “I have to look as though I just sense of humour or the others might think I’m square.”

Be square. Honestly, it’s not such a bad life choice.

Lcb123 · 03/03/2023 20:48

Well don’t go yourself then. It’s a free world. I think you need to get some perspective on what child abuse actually is

TwilightSilhouette · 03/03/2023 20:48

That has shocked me.

TheSnugglyDuckling · 03/03/2023 20:49

To me there is no difference between this and taking a baby to strip club. Utterly inappropriate. And yet only one is being championed.

RiceMakesGoodConfetti · 03/03/2023 20:50

have a sense of humour, that should have said.

I think we will look back on this shit and view it in the way we now view, say, beauty pageants.

SnappyTheCrocodile · 03/03/2023 20:51

I grew up in Brighton. I grew up going to Pride. Drag queens aren’t new to me. They weren’t new to me as a young child.

But this smacks of a weird sort of liberal performative parenting that really grinds my gears. Your kid isn’t getting anything from this. It’s just smug Instagram fodder.

You’re right. What on earth is wrong with a baby looking up the crack of a blokes arse? A bloke who happens to be writhing about on the floor dressed in women’s clothes,

caramac04 · 03/03/2023 20:57

How can anyone think this is suitable for very young children is beyond my comprehension.
Completely inappropriate.

Northernsouloldies · 03/03/2023 21:00

Well that's a weird way to spend an afternoon.
