Caba Baba Rave - take your baby to watch nearly naked men in fetish gear

[Clymene]

Journalist Dominique Samuels has posted video of one of their events: https://twitter.com/dominiquetaegon/status/1630948003962912768?s=61&t=gd6tu0Iz6JpyKXGLWMLGjg

Which features men gyrating and hanging from the ceiling surrounded by a crowd of clueless women and their babies.

I would say it's NSFW but it's apparently safe for babies so have a watch.

Here's a reddux article:

Since the video went viral, the company has taken down its website and Facebook and made their Instagram private. I wonder why?

Entertainment for babies:

Bubbles, parachutes ✅ ✅ ✅

BDSM, Drag, etc ❌❌❌

I really cannot understand why performers are performing with toddlers and babies crawling on the floor. And why have those parents allowed their children to be loose there?

This certainly beats our local Playgroup Christmas night out( without children) where we were entertained by a woman wearing some leather I think, angle grinding metal to music. Huge sparks flying everywhere.
Followed by a meal and music and dancing

Pretty surreal stuff.
Oh and some Grandmothers who attended had to leave early at 8PM, absolutely off their trollies.
Quite astonishing.

But this thing? What are the women thinking!

Adding to this:

Let alone a performer having to be writhing on the floor in a dance routine with blocks on the floor? Ouch!

@Clymene That clip. OMFG. Gyrating and exposing your arse to babies and toddlers. Stroking your body suggestively. Rolling around close to the bemused babies, kicking legs up as if they’re at the Moulin Rouge.

Are the barely-walking toddlers going to go home and bend over and part their arse cheeks so that daddy can see what cool things baby did with mummy at the library or village hall that day?

This is the groom-iest thing I have ever had the misfortune to see. I genuinely feel very sickened.

I would like to see evidence of the trolling and threats the company has received. Negative reactions to this filth is not ‘trolling’ and calling it out as inappropriate for infants/children is not ‘trolling’ or hate - it is stating what no so long ago would be obvious to anyone with any common sense or decent parenting skills.

I think that is Miss B Hind who described themselves as "a mix of camp and C*nt! trash and glamour!" Also as "loose in the behind"

drinking alcohol also seems to be a core part of the offer

getting pissed with strangers and your pre verbal crawling children doesn’t feel like something a child centred company would offer

I've got my Mumsnet JudgyPants on.

What is wrong with these people?

I agree that objecting to something is not trolling.

The whole thing looks at best ludicrous, at worst downright disgusting.

On some (low) level I feel sorry for the performers: fancy being reduced to this crummy gig. How humiliating.

I feel zero sympathy for the idiotic “swing your pants” oh-so-super-cool mothers. They should be deeply ashamed of themselves turning up - and staying- at this shitty show.

I mean the parents, not the company. Company would not exist if there wasn't a market for such events.

Lego.

Lego will bring this whole shitshow to a screeching halt.

*What next? Maybe the dads can organise a bunch of scantily clad female erotic dancers to perform in front of the kids?

I'm sure all the mums who thought this was a great idea would approve*

And of course Twitter is now full of gotchas triumphantly crowing about how this is no different to cheerleaders, while posting clips of fully-dressed cheerleaders doing their usual dance things at football games in massive arenas. Not a gimp mask in sight. How very vanilla.

Some years ago I happened to have to walk past a well-known London exhibition centre (no pun intended, but it’s apt) during what turned out to be some sort of drag festival/event. At 10 am there were fully-fetish-clad men stalking around outside the venue on 8” heels, being oohed and aahed approvingly by the virtually all-female clientele queuing to get in. Overwhelmingly young - probably 20s/30s - and a significant number with babies and toddlers in pushchairs. I was genuinely shaken and quite disturbed by the avid reaction of the audience, the eagerness to take photos, the excitement. And the make-up and costumes of the men in drag, which to me more than verged on the grotesque. As an adult, I was disturbed. If I’d been a child, I think I’d have been more than that.

I've never liked drag anyway but that moment really crystallised it for me. But how tame that all seems now, eh?

Why are some women so keen to collude in this?

Look at these poor kids. I'm guessing it's one of the women who run the company shouting woohoo! and yeah! at the embarrassingly bad performers.

God, they're hopeless, aren't they? I guess strutting around sticking your arse out to cheers of go girlfriend by appreciative like-minded men, is all that is required in a drag club.

But it doesn't just look tasteless and inappropriate in front of toddlers, it looks a bit pathetic.

This. I absolutely judge the parents not the event.

I find the 'don't even need a baby to enjoy it' slightly strange too.

Why on earth would a person without a baby want to go and watch babies being involved in a drag performance?

Oh, actually, I can think why.

Hiding in plain sight.

Oh I judge the event too!

I have plenty of judgement to go around on this one

A good number of the problems that are discussed on this forum could have been averted before they reached such levels if society hadn’t moved to believe that passing judgement is always a bad thing. It’s led to a shocking number of safeguarding failures.

Yes, you dangerous fuckers, I judge you. If you want to parade naked, dressed with a dildo, piss/wank in a rubber suit at work or perform in leather in front of children I judge you. I judge you as being unsafe around children.

And yes, you dangerous fuckers who are apologists for all of the above who tell me I shouldn’t judge, I judge you too. You too are unsafe to be around children, and unfit parents. I don’t care if you want to call me names or call me judgemental. I take that as a compliment. Because the opposite of judgemental in these scenarios is a empty-headed, boundary-lacking, child-endangering cunt of the highest order.

Yep, judgement seems to have become a bad thing

I would argue that exercising your own judgement about the behaviour of others is in fact a good thing

it doesn’t mean you leave a burning cross on someone’s lawn or anything, but does enable you to for e.g. not take your baby to a bdsm event with copious sexual nudity

who benefits from us all being too afraid to exercise our own judgment? It ain’t us or our kids, that’s for sure

I suspect the man with foam on his head, is the same one as the one with little pig tails in another photo and may be the stripping Santa in another pic. Perhaps it is the husband of one of the organisers?

Edible bubbles?

Get em eating white foamy stuff early people.

I genuinely cannot believe I'm not trapped in some sort of waking nightmare.

Or partner.

I believe the two women who own the company are heterosexual from social media reports.

If this event was being held in a working men’s club in a run down part of Bradford I imagine the left wing London Luvvies wouldn’t be so keen.
Its the MC clientele that makes it “acceptable”

100% yes! If this went on in our council estate, social services would be right in there and people would be sent to prison. We'd also be on the front page of the Liverpool Echo, the subject of endless benefit bashing Daily Mail editorials about Broken Britain's underclass and Jeremy Vine would be rubbing his hands together in glee over all the phone-ins and related twitter hashtags. But when middle-class mummies who feel their lives are a bit too staid and surburban want to feel edgy so go boozing while sheer filth is performed in front of their babies it's meant to be celebrated! Mind-blowing!

@Hoppinggreen
Oh yes, this is definitely very MC. If they were swigging cans of Special Brew wearing their see-through Primark leggings and nipping out for a few fags, SS would be called.
