Grandad's Pride is being read on milkshake on channel 5 - not acceptable! AIBU

[grandadspride]

Milkshake story den.

Why are we reading books about pride, gender and drag to pre-school children.

Books about acceptance and tolerance? Why wouldn't you read them? It’s a lovely book

Because my 2 year old doesn't need to be brainwashed about gender politics. Also doesn't need to know what drag is, considering it's adult entertainment

Just turn the TV off then or turn to another channel.

You're cool with these images?

I did. Do you have an opinion?

🙄

This is why it is inappropriate for kids!

Ok../teaching a child about same sex relationships is fine. Teaching them about kink at the age of 2 is not! Totally not right

Aw so lovely. Heartwarming stuff really, grown arse men in fetishwear being romanticised and pushed as a child’s tale of joy 🙃

There's also a depiction of a topless women with double mastectomy scars, which I can guarantee is not a depiction of a cancer survivor.

You think it's fine to expose children to drawings of adults in fetish gear?

I am here for the comments 🍿

That's seriously in a kid's book? My flagger is ghasted.

Yes. @GreenIsMyFavoriteColour have a google.

It needs cancelling

Fucking hell, these images are inappropriate for a children's show.

The topic of this book came up on a thread I posted not long ago. It absolutely shocked me.

Wow. OP I didn't know of this book and I read your opening post thinking meh but yeah that's really inappropriate.

Wow that is grim. And a sign of the fucked up times we are living in that anyone who calls it out will be branded an intolerant bigot/homophobic/transphobic etc. No, we just don't need toddlers being exposed to fetish.

So, a trans man possibly then?

Always nice to see the ‘be kind’ brigade out on MN. Acceptance and tolerance of brainwashing and anatomically intact male bodies in female spaces. Fuck be kind.

No, it just needs to not be shown during a children's show, not everything needs to be cancelled.

I have mastectomy scar. I’m a woman who had cancer and chose not to have reconstruction 🤷‍♀️

Anyway. Don’t know the book. Looks completely inappropriate for primary children.
