This is why people are creeped out by Snag Tights

[WowStarsWow]

🙈

I bat an eyelid at a lot of the Snag advertising.

*A bloke in drag dressed as a little girl surrounded by childrens toys

that’s not going to sell me tights*

Yep. Anyone claiming it's just a cute picture of a happy bloke in a dress with kids toys is being disingenuous.

Creepy and grim.

I can only imagine the people who are effectively saying “but I dress like this” can’t tell the difference between clothes that an actual child might wear (dungarees) and fetishised “child clothes” (pigtails, pastels, clown makeup, loads of frills and bows). Or maybe being wilfully obtuse

Exactly this. Dungarees and Doc Martens are in no way comparable to the styling used in that advert. Neither are Care Bears t-shirts. Why are people trying to suggest it’s the same thing?

The problem that a lot of these social media content creation departments seem to overlook is that tedious middle-class Boden-wearing mummies who don't understand, and more importantly don't respect, edgy toddler-pedo-fetish marketing are the ones that pull out their credit cards and pay for the clothes in many a boring middle-class household.

Same problem as that weird theatre show that tried to get kids to google animal masturbation.

Dim, staid Mummies have the power of veto. So infuriating!!

So yeah, it's bad publicity. Great for likes but not the bottom line.

Ah bless, you're too young to remember Ratners.

I think it's all about the general move to normalise fetish and blend kids and kinks as we saw with the Family Sex Show.

Anything goes now Karens! Get over your weird boundaries etc.

Except it doesn't and we won't.

I can't comment on the tights, but I went through a phase of getting their adverts on Facebook and would sometimes click through.

My lasting impression is that their tights are aimed at people who have very specific and specialised ideas of how to spend Saturday nights.

As long as it doesn't hurt anyone, let them go for it with gusto, but I don't particularly want to see what their preferred flavours are and it doesn't make me want to buy their tights.

Isn’t that someone cosplaying my little pony? I love snag tights and the way they work for all body tights.

Blimey, don't ever visit dollskill.com, you'd not cope!

Wasn't planning to you do you. If you like a bit of toddler chic, all power to you!

This.

I love Snag tights, this has reminded me to go and buy more. Thanks for the advertising, pearl clutchers of mumsnet!

Criticism of a faintly nauseating fetish photo of an adult cosplaying as an oversized toddler has 'reminded' you that you don't own as many pairs of tights as you would like to?

What idiosyncratic synaptic connections there must be in your brain.

Yes, how dare we object to a product now marketing themselves at the woman-face weird baby doll obsessive market.

I thought SNAG were marketed at trans people? Like a special fit? Is this not the case?

I wonder what other things work on @Butteryflakycrust83

"A dog turd on the pavement? That reminds me, I must call my boyfriend."

"Temporary traffic lights? Oh yes, we've run out of Daktarin."

"Oh, I see they are considering reintroducing wolves into the wild. Good thing I saw that or I'd totally have forgotten the loo roll."

It's more the smirking blokes in their scants that get me, although I agree this picture is pretty grim.

I love how this is considered a fetish but on another thread the opinion is that wearing leggings so thin you're actually showing off your underwear / genitals in public is just the fashion, totally OK, and pointing it out is "shaming" women.

I'd rather hang out with someone fully (if bizarrely) dressed than have to avoid looking at my co-workers arse all day.

No, the thread has reminded me how much I love Snag. Thanks to all the comments from people weirdly obsessed with calling everything perverted if it doesnt look like an M and S catalogue, its trending and appeared on my homescreen, hence the reminder. Just purchased three more pairs.

I dont think it looks like dressing as a toddler. Looks like My Little Pony cosplay to me. My mind isn't perverted like that. Maybe you need to check your own synaptic connections.

Harajuku is a recognised fashion culture in Japan, it's becoming more known in the UK now, I was very interested in it in the early 00s, I'm 38 now but would still wear those carebear tights. Doesn't bother me

Maybe, just maybe, it’s different posters commenting on each thread?

www.thedrum.com/news/2020/08/12/snag-tights-widened-its-market-embracing-inclusion It's all about money in the end for Snag as with a lot of "inclusive stuff". They get talked about and they get free advertising.

Anyone who has spent any time on a site like fab will automatically understand how fucking creepy that is. There'll be men in real life who love that ad. 🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢

@Mystery2345 SNag used to be marketed at women of all shapes and sizes. Not at drag queens and men with little girl fetishes.

liking pastels, bows and unicorns does not make someone a paedophile.

Fashion isnt paraphilia, behaviour is.

Some of you need to get a grip and leave people alone. You don't like the tights, don't fucking buy them.
