Museum defends man dressed in women's lingerie playing Lego with kids https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10819577/Australian-Museum-Sydney-photo-man-lingerie-playing-Lego-kids.html?ito=nativesharee_article-top

Sorry to be starting off another thread with another DM article but holy hell what the fuck is going on! And the museum can see "nothing wrong" with this happening. Some great safeguarding going on at their children's event Hmm

The wilful blindness to see this for what it is, is truly amazing. And those that "can't see a problem with it" are enabling these kinks to be played out in public with both children and unconsenting adults. Wrong on so many levels

Surely most kids events would not allow in un-childrened adults as a basic safeguard. Utterly bizarre this doesn't seem to be the case before you even get to the outfits.

MidCenturyClegs · 16/05/2022 08:27

It'll be because of the outfit he was let in. Nobody dares confront him.

I’ve attended places or events like this before and they have always specifically banned adults not accompanying a child. That of course is no guarantee of a lack of problems, but it reduces them significantly.

Multiple members of our security and programming teams spoke with a woman who took the images on the evening following the concerns she raised regarding two people wearing fancy dress,' a spokeswoman told Daily Mail Australia.

Probably calling her a bigot and telling her to leave I'd presume!

RufustheFloralmissingreindeer · 16/05/2022 08:37

Just incredible that the museum would think that was in any way appropriate

Neverreturntoathread · 16/05/2022 08:37

Right so now the museum have designated the lego pit a childrn’s only area. So mums can’t play lego with their children because of these perverts. Not much of a solution eh.

carefullycourageous · 16/05/2022 08:39

I don't think it is the biggest story really as the museum has now designated the area children-only next time. It is correct the security guard couldn't throw them out for their clothes. Obviously if what they were wearing breached Australian laws they could have been reported.

One would hope carers will be able to play with their kids.

FrancescaContini · 16/05/2022 08:43

Yes, “wilful blindness”. Really really creepy.

Fuzzyheid · 16/05/2022 08:48

It wouldn't be appropriate if the clothes were worn by a female either, but I suspect the "fancy dress" excuse wouldn't have been accepted. The sacred caste on display again.

Thumpsquids · 16/05/2022 08:59

'Grooming' is a much-used term lately. I see this as grooming.

Georgeskitchen · 16/05/2022 09:11

I would be concerned about men attending a children's event with no children in tow whatever they were wearing.

TastefulRainbowUnicorn · 16/05/2022 09:36

I don’t think it’s specifically a children’s event, hence the article going on about “school holidays.”

But tbh they shouldn’t let men dressed like that in. Or women dressed like that. Have the event either be open to children, or to adults in lingerie, but not both.

I read the photo as someone on the autistic spectrum being unaware of normal societal boundaries.

The question we should be asking is why has nobody taught them those norms and boundaries?

tabbycatstripy · 16/05/2022 09:41

That is vile. You’ll get the usual suspects saying ‘You can’t assume someone has bad intentions or are a risk because they are in fancy dress...’

I can and I will. If people cross the boundaries of kids like this because they want something (even if it’s just to play Lego, to get in the papers or whatever) they are a risk to kids.

FatFucker · 16/05/2022 10:27

This article shows how mad this world is now.

No one felt confident enough to complain and say that they were dressed inappropriately in case they were labelled a bigot.

Why did the parents not leave???

Is this normal now in Australia???

Our poor poor kids.

Grooming in full sight!

I didn't see it say anywhere the person was autistic, in fact I haven't seen anything on their identity and certainly not their medical record (which would be confidential, and apolling if it way shared). Where did you read this?

In my experience of having and autistic son, and therefore frequenting several autistic clubs and suport groups. I have never seen autism expressed as a tendency to dress in lingerie in public. Playing with lego at an older age, yes, but that's not the part anyone is complaining about.

Why are you trying to lump being a pervert in with having autism? It's already hard enough for people with disabilities to be excepted, without people like you spreading that kind of misinformation.

Don't blame us autists!

Really?Confused
Come off it. Those are the sort of clothes chosen by someone who knows where the boundaries are and is deliberately breaking them.

AssignedBlobbyAtBirth · 16/05/2022 12:42

I read the photo as someone with a fetish who is now bold enough to be out and proud with said fetish
All my family have ASD and none of us have ever been out in fetish gear. None of us have gone to children's events without a child either

Whatsnewpussyhat · 16/05/2022 12:53

If that was two women dressed in fetish wear they wouldn't have even got through the door.

The fact no one is able to point out their very obvious motives for going to a childs play event dressed like that is ridiculous.

catandcoffee · 16/05/2022 12:55

Could you get any bolder..... in plain sight and its deemed OK. 🤔🙄

Why would you jump to that conclusion? It seems odd to assume that everybody who behaves in an unacceptable manner is on the spectrum and that everybody on the spectrum is likely to behave unacceptably. It's more likely to be two over entitled wangs who are either trying to push boundaries or trying to show how hilariously entertaining they are.
