Does Nationwide Building Society REALLY think adult babies are worthy of respect?

So a poster on Twitter made a thread about a throuple (this is a word for a sexual and romantic relationship between three people) where the three adult males like to imagine they are a family, and take the roles of mother, older sister and baby. The one who takes the part of the baby tweets about wearing a nappy and waking up with it "shitty".

It's not unusual for people to post about their "diaper-fetishes" on social media. Nor is it unusual for people to react strongly to such posts.

However this is the weird bit. A second poster tagged Nationwide Building Society in, and asked its personnel for comment. And Nationwide replied.

Wanna hear what the social media comms person said when Nationwide got tagged into a thread showing three males in a presumably sexual relationship who also roleplay as mother and daughters/sisters?

2/2 We believe it's more important than ever to have respect when talking to, or about one another. Please review your comment. #MutualRespect. Amy

Adult babies with sexual fixations on nappies are WORIADS, are they? Wow, we've dropped the standards some.

The point would be the mindless, brainless buying in of reputable institutions - a building society ffs- into 'queering' of boundaries, appropriation of resources put there for actual need to serve adults who'd like to act out their sex life in public places, and the absolute lack of appropriacy. With all of its many, many impacts on safeguarding. And normalising male sexual freedoms all over the public sphere as an everyday okay thing that good people would all clap like a lot of obedient seals about. With the resultant creep of it not only being ok for men to enter women's spaces but to do whatever the fuck they feel like regardless in there cos queer's good and you'd only mind if you're an unkind old person.

It really shouldn't have to be that this needs spelling out on this board. The dots aren't difficult to join. The time is past when anyone well informed can say 'that bit's ok, and that's ok' - it all enables the rest of the whole agenda. And those at this point shrugging and going oh well are just as much enabling that agenda at all levels and at its full extremes.

This sums up my view on it.

Well, I identify as not being overdrawn and actually having about 10k in the account.

I've been continuing to mull this over all weekend.

Why was my emotional reaction so muted, until Nationwide intervened? Why is other people's?

These adults are broadcasting their hobby on social media. They are monopolising public hygiene facilities for it.

Why is anyone asking us to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume it's not sexual? So what if they are misjudged? If you and your partner(s) like dressing up as a baby or a toddler, it is not some kind of immutable characteristic you can't keep private. If it's not sexual and they don't like people thinking it is, they can simply not engage in it in public.

If my next door neighbour posted about wanting his wife to dress up in a nurse's outfit to give him bed baths, would anyone jump on me for presuming he got sexual pleasure from that? It's just as plausible he just "likes being taken care of", or something, surely?

Normalising adults dressing up as toddlers with nappies provides protective camouflage to men like David Challenor, for whom it was clearly a facet of his child abuse fantasies, which he carried out. He raped and abused a ten year old girl, while pretending to be a child in nappies himself.

If giving any adult baby performers the benefit of the doubt about their motivations makes it easier for other men to escalate to child rape, is that an acceptable price for society to pay?

Thank you for that! Flowers This incident has really rattled me, and it's putting me to some trouble to say why.
