Good news, I think?

Apologies if there's another thread- I did look but couldn't see one.

That Twitter thread!

They couldn't even spell “bukkake” for fuck's sake

Well done all!

AncientLights · 15/10/2019 03:56

Yes! So glad to hear this.

OrchidInTheSun · 15/10/2019 05:06

Well done SSA. That's excellent

NamechangeWhatFor · 15/10/2019 05:29

Was it really for 12 year olds Shock

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 15/10/2019 05:35

Result!

PotholePalace · 15/10/2019 05:43

As a Warwickshire resident and mother I want to thank everyone who pushed for this to happen.

2BthatUnnoticed · 15/10/2019 05:49

Good news! Those materials were seriously concerning - grooming girls to think some quite degrading acts are normal.

I learned what bukkake is and frankly wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy !

SonicVersusGynaephobia · 15/10/2019 05:58

This is great news. I hope the Chief Executive saw this and was absolutely horrified (how could she not be?!) and there is an internal investigation into how this was allowed to happen, and who the decision-makers were.

SugarPlumFairyCakes · 15/10/2019 06:35

Well done and thank you. Really hope the website doesn't reappear and all the links from places such as the School Nurse service are re-directed to a more appropriate service.

InflagranteDelicto · 15/10/2019 06:39

Well done ladies. That's a grim pack. What fool thought it suitable for children?

SarahTancredi · 15/10/2019 06:53

This is excellent news!

Lets hope though that they look into who wrote it ,and who okd it for children in the first place and why.

HandsOffMyRights · 15/10/2019 06:59

Thank you so much for your hard work and tenacity. Well done - this is such great news!

TitianaTitsling · 15/10/2019 06:59

What on earth?! How the hell did this come across as suitable at all during any part of the process from conception to publishing?! Thank you all involved in getting this removed.

TheProdigalKittensReturn · 15/10/2019 07:15

What's weird is that every thread about that guidance here has featured people claiming to think it's harmless and just trying to be down with the kids and btw if you criticize the promotion of this stuff to kids you're shaming me for my kink! Batsignal must have went out, but still, apparently there are people who really do think that we need to teach kids about felching and coprophilia and they walk among us, as it were.

(Not any of the FWR regularly, obviously, unless you count the people who troll regularly.)

SarahTancredi · 15/10/2019 07:22

If nothing else that proves that it's all about validation of adults' kink as opposed to being for the benefit of children.

I'm.nearly 40 and I had no idea what half that stuff was.

truthisarevolutionaryact · 15/10/2019 08:14

Well done everyone who challenged this. We knew it was indefensible but yes TheProdigal - horrifying how many people defended it. Have any of the other LAs reviewed their use of it does anyone know?
And has anyone reported the adults pushing this stuff at children to the police?

Whatisthisfuckery · 15/10/2019 08:16

Good, I should bloody think so too.

Thank you to all the women who’ve kicked up a fuss about this.

forkfun · 15/10/2019 08:19

Good news, thanks for sharing. Like PPs, I was also horrified by how many people on here defended it.

ScapaFlo · 15/10/2019 10:45

Hell's teeth I'm 50 something and have never heard of these practices and terms. WTF is felching? I daren't google.

And it's all multiple people stuff as well, one girl (why are they saying young girl'?) and several boys/men.

I despair.

OhHolyJesus · 15/10/2019 10:47

I'm twitter rate limited so can't see but I gather it's good news.

Have they removed it and apologised or just removed it without comment?

It's amazing what you can do when you all join together! Well done all, more of this please!

OvaHere · 15/10/2019 10:51

Great news. It's horrifying that this even made it past first draft.

hoodathunkit · 15/10/2019 10:58

Massive props to all who fought in this battle

The war continues

ScapaFlo · 15/10/2019 11:03

OhHolyJesus sometimes when I click on a twitter link it tells me I'm rate limited but if I go back and click again straight away it get to the tweet. I don't have a twitter account though.

Newuser123123 · 15/10/2019 11:09

So pleased, I got some grief for protesting this x
