Obscene costumed volunteers handing out summer reading at Redbridge library

A library had a man in a rainbow monkey costume, with a dildo penis and a fake exposed butt, handing out summer reading books.

Look at this obscene sex clown mocking and terrorising local Muslim women:

The library is, of course, apologizing about it now:

twitter.com/RedbridgeLibs/status/1413975910433366020

But during the event, they thought it was pretty funny:

twitter.com/turtillachip/status/1414255270038016009

What is happening? Why should parents going to the library's summer reading program worry that THIS is what they'll see? The website for this troupe of "performers" clearly shows this monkey performer with his fake penises inch from children's faces. There has been no vetting. No safeguarding.

And there'll just be an apology, another "isolated incident." Of course, the local Muslim women and girls know exactly what this library thinks of them now, and what may happen to them if they choose to even walk nearby. Do we think they're going to want to go in?

Here’s another one from Joss Prior

Whoever this Joss Prior is she is toxic.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/07/2021 16:01

Their support illuminates the deeper agenda about breaking down boundaries.

Also some attention seeking going on.

unwashedanddazed · 13/07/2021 16:09

I also thought the TRA support might just be a knee-jerk reaction. They see GC feminists in opposition to something and instinctively decide that whatever it is must be on the right side of history. Even a deranged bare-arsed monkey waving its dick around.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 13/07/2021 16:10

Yes, exactly.

ScreamingMeMe · 13/07/2021 16:35

And that's the danger of existing in silos.

BatmansBat · 13/07/2021 16:38

I don’t really see the problem with the picture of Posie.

An adult woman is able to consent to be in the close vicinity of an exposed penis, real, dildo or inflatable. Consent is the key.

Children are not able to consent to be in the close vicinity of an exposed penis, real, dildo or inflatable. There is a legal age for consent.

Without consent, there should be no exposed penises in the vicinity of anyone.

I cannot believe I even have to write this.

chickenyhead · 13/07/2021 16:43

I don't think that they are being honest if they think only GC women are offended by this.

Many fathers and mothers from every walk of life would be horrified.

They only monitor GC feminists. They don't regard 'normies' as a threat so outrage from them would pass them by.

[quote Oceanbliss]@Datun I think that paragraph I copy and pasted is defining grooming as being deliberate and intended even when being disguised as a mere accident or unintentional. It is a form of deception and manipulation.[/quote]
Ah, ok. I read the word 'openly', as both the opposite to secretly, but also potentially doing it in the open generally, like dildo monkey.

Because there is no doubt, even if dildo monkey is aghast at how his behaviour has been interpreted, it will still have the effect of grooming children who are subjected to it. By normalising the public display of genitalia around children.

‘Because there is no doubt, even if dildo monkey is aghast at how his behaviour has been interpreted, it will still have the effect of grooming children who are subjected to it. By normalising the public display of genitalia around children.’

Yes. We are all being groomed. It is becoming normalised.

LizzieSiddal · 13/07/2021 17:19

I wonder what kind of “cultural change” Prior is wanting? Hmm

I saw a GC feminist tweeting to raise awareness of the increase in domestic violence against women on football match nights. Various people were reacting to the information with shock and horror.

Along came a trans activist, whose contribition to the conversation was "just so you know, you're agreeing with a t**f".

oceanbliss I spat myn tea out at the final comeback on that thread 😂 they aren't wrong though ...
Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 13/07/2021 18:07

@ItsAllGoingToBeFine

I can happily assure Joss Prior that my 6 year old does not draw penises, view them in books or "giggle about random people's penises"

Even of we accept what Joss says, they are missing the important fact that a). That mostly applies to boys and b) is something carried out with peergroups.

If children are talking and laughing about genitals with, for example, their local librarian, that is rather different...

Odd, isn't it, that when Joss was thinking about what young children do, what Joss remembers is what little boys do, not little girls. Odd.
334bu · 13/07/2021 18:11

As the father of two girls you would think that Joss would have some insight into female children and their behaviour.

I know, it's incredible, isn't it. [sad[ Angry
Datun · 13/07/2021 18:38

Teenage boys sniggering over a sketched penis in the back of their notebook, isn't the same as an adult shoving a dildo in a child's face.

It creeps me out that not only do we have to say it, there are people who of course know it, but want to stop us saying it.

PurgatoryOfPotholes · 13/07/2021 19:11

Hang on a minute... Wasn't there some kind of contretemps about women wearing hats that paid homage to the female reproductive system? And that the wearing of such "pussy hats" was transphobic and hostile to transwomen?

But giant phalluses shoved in children's faces and penis sketches are just normal humour?

NotTerfNorCis · 13/07/2021 19:36

I've been following the TRA response to this. It is very much, if feminists are against this then we must be for it! They've maneuvered themselves into defending men waving dildos around in front of kids. They even seem to believe that behaviour like that is normally acceptable, and always was. It's just uptight feminists who don't like it, apparently! The point they're missing is that if overtly sexual behaviour by adults becomes normalised around young children, it won't be long before one of those adults crosses a line.

insight into female children and their behaviour.

That requires empathy and paying attention to other people.

Good god. That is a very good, and incredibly depressing point.

I know - it's unbelievable to watch!

Furries · 13/07/2021 20:30

It’s flipping surreal to watch. For those that have been following things for quite some time, is this fairly normal? I’ve not been on here long, so wondering is it “more of the same” or is this a new level of pushback on anyone who doesn’t agree with dildo monkey?

It's fairly normal Furries. The problem for them is that their arguments don't stand up to scrutiny, hence no debate questioning the mantra was absolutely not to be tolerated. Then they back themselves into a corner by advocating for things and when the inevitable happens the only way to deflect is to throw as much crap and abuse as possible to those who sounded the warnings. Make the Cassandras sound like the vilest people on earth who no-one would ever want to associate with and hope it deflects attention and scrutiny away from them and what they have championed.
