Man in gimp outfit attends Globe theatre

[Pluvia]

That's it, really. One woman wrote to complain and the staff said their only concern was that he might become dehydrated.

More normalisation of fetishes.

I honestly don't care if you want to call me right wing, I left the playground many, many years ago, one day you'll be big and old like me and you may too have dropped the behaviours that should have been left behind when you left school.

After all, by placing such a heavy emphasis on trans women as the most pressing contemporary "problem" terf figures and groups downplay or avoid feminist theories that focus on topics that make rightwingers uncomfortable - these include intersectional feminism, queer feminism, sex positive feminism, marxist feminist economics and feminist postcolonialism. Indeed many terfs openly disparage these forms of feminism.

So you're saying that 9/10 radical feminists prefer radical feminism?

No way in hell would I be paying to attend any venue with a dirty mac vibe.
Any parent I knew, who thinks that its a good idea to book off that type of publicity for the venue ... I would not trust them with a pet rock.

Yes, yes, yes @WimpoleHat

Why choose an afternoon, if not to inflict the maximum discomfort. Go out 10mins away to Soho & you’re just ‘regular’.

What’s the law regarding porn / indecent exposure, esp re children?

I’m so sure in the mid nighties a female(?) student dressed in a naked body suit (fabric nips, pubes etc…) was arrested in central London. I’m not sure if it was an arty stunt or genuine protest re the ideas surrounding nudity/exposure.

I believe this is just another one in the ramping up of forcing queer ideology upon the public, pushing the message, visibility and "philosophy".

From male PhD level leftist TUC activists breast feeding on Twitter to produce 150 strong Left petition of support, to drag queens doing what comes (un)natural at a family "friendly" holiday resort, to Queer playgroups at Tate Britain, to gimps at a renowned Shakespeare theatre in Central London, to self castrating violent assaulting and kidnapping on licence perps taking center stage at Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer approved Trans Pride openly calling for women to be assaulted.
Have I missed anything? Oh, Dylan Mulvaney and Adam Bryson, but fuck, it's only 7 months into 2023, yet they feel like ancient history, lol.

This isn't Pornhub, or members only BDSM clubs, or Trans/Reddit, or TikTok, from as long ago as 2013-2022
This is the UK, 2023. Our theatres, museums, city streets, holiday resorts, everyday Twitter.

I'm reluctant to fall for plots and conspiracy theory. And I won't.

But I'm viewing this as a ramping up of the rhetoric and imagery for two reasons.

The TRA/Queer ideology fraternity are losing the PR battle. Every opinion poll shows less and less support. They've fumbled the ball.

As each court case comes in with them on the losing side, as each flare up turns the public off, they only have one sensitivity setting
...FULL TILT!!!!

And like a clown car where the brake lines are cut, and it's an a downhill trajectory, and where No Debate has been rejected, they can only do one thing

...keep their foot on the gas pedal.

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe I'm high on my own supply. But I'd look at all of my examples, and others, incl this I'm sure sensitive male in a rubber suit, and think that their bolt is shot, they're losing the battle on all fronts, and the worse their behaviour pattern becomes, the closer to this boil being lanced we get.

Right now, the inflammation is red and angry, but that's part of the healing process. Just doesn't feel like it while it's happening.

I think, @FriendlyNeighbourhoodTrans, most of the women on Mumsnet who you might perceive to be right-wing terfs are just ordinary women who care about the safeguarding of children. Years ago, I was part of a thriving goth/industrial scene - and used to love dressing up and going to club nights where there was a significant fetish crossover, so to speak.

So, some people would be dressed in the typical gothy black velvet, lace, corsets, frilly shirts etc, while others would be in PVC, rubber, leather, straps and chains. It was primarily a music scene but there were some who were no doubt of a kinky persuasion. I attended a couple of more outlandish fetish nights where I saw people being led about on leads, and men in leather chaps with their butt cheeks out and guess what, I didn’t bat an eyelid - too busy dancing.

Those club nights I attended were for over-18s. No problem there. The key thing with this gimp person at the Globe is they’ve infiltrated a family-friendly daytime event in fetishwear. They’ve forced children to see something that is just really inappropriate for under-18s. I don’t think that makes me a right-wing pearl clutcher. Children’s innocence is a precious thing. There’s a time and a place for kink. Keep it in the bedroom, or at an over-18s club night. Same goes for explicit drag queen entertainers. Leave the kids out of it! Seems common sense has gone out of the window thanks to the rise of queer theory and destruction of boundaries.

The other aspect of course that makes the terf position a right-wing one is the fluid boundary between their membership and right-wing groups with whom they share a scapegoat.

For example, if someone is blaming trans-activism / progressive politics for males stealing places in women’s sports, or blaming the individual trans people that compete, how is that a "scapegoat" exactly? * *

Why wouldn't you just say that it's, "accurately identifying the problem"?

Maybe we should just laugh at these idiots. I mean, it might look cool or kinky or sexually arousing or whatever if you're that way inclined in a dark club or a dimly let bedroom / torture chamber, but this bloke just looks silly standing at the bar ordering a drink like that. He looks like a silly attention seeker, and must be really hot and uncomfortable. Maybe it's time to go back to the flasher days and point and laugh at these men in non appropriate settings.

They are laughable but how do people feel about their dc putting up with that?

Loads of children go to the Globe

Yeah it's a tough one. I think my younger children wouldn't see it as sexual and would just think he was dressed as an alien or something, for some reason. But the teens obviously would know the score. Who know what effects all this queer theory over sexualisation shoving sexuality and fetishes in their face all the time will have?

The only thing I will say is that all the teens I know (from very different demographics and backgrounds but all pretty NT and reasonably socialised) are universally scathing of anything rainbow or queer now as they are sick of having it shoved down their throats at school. They honestly are more interested in their mates and paying football and video games etc. They are pretty scathing about 'rainbow shit' as they call it now.

So we're back to it being the modern day goth (as I was) really for the kids and so the misfits and the kids who struggle socially due to self image or ND are further marginalised and left out and bullied and unhappy - same as it always was. There was a brief moment where I thought we'd got beyond that and everyone just got along and accepted people for their differences, but the TR extremists have put paid to that with the relentless queering of everything.

AND old school homophobia is back in. The gay kids thought they got an "out" from bullying when schools told the pupils that prejudice on their new genders is zero tolerated.

Well, the kids are just going back to tried and tested forms of torture.

Can't mock a gay kid for changing gender? Well, they'll just go back to mocking him or her for being gay.

It's happening.

But you could also one person's accepted outfit is also another person's omg outfit different fashions for different people, eg someone wearing heavy Goth style outfits, or a load of punk rockers etc.

You're absolutely right. All the TR lobby have achieved is bringing back homophobia and "that's so gay" as a slur.

Sexuality has been lumped in with identity and fetishes, to the detriment of gay people unfortunately. It's no wonder lots of LGB groups are trying to distance themselves from the T.

I was a goth - it’s nothing like putting on a gimp suit and parading your sexual fetish in public

im genuinely baffled at the idea that strolling about in a gimp suit & a mask is just a fashion choice

I used to love the Globe when its main focus was doing great productions of Shakespeare.

But you could also one person's accepted outfit is also another person's omg outfit different fashions for different people, eg someone wearing heavy Goth style outfits, or a load of punk rockers etc.

Gimp is fetish not fashion. Fucking hell that anyone has to spell that out. Gaslighting much, Hawk?

Goth and punk rocker same as sexual fetish gear?

That's just so...5 minutes ago.

Saying gimp gear is just a fashion choice is like saying Nazi uniforms are just a fashion choice, no biggie

The Globe is based in the borough of Southwark. The email address for the appropriate safeguarding children’s team seems to be as follows : [email protected]

"Fetish Goth · You like the edgy, kinky types of clothing, like leather corsets or fishnet"

From Google

'dehydrated gimp'

🤣🤣🤣

You called?

Their Midsummer NIght's Dream had Helena played as a gay man (does not work in the play) and a male fairy (a fat one - not that it makes any difference but it looked funny) in a tutu. I think they are much too woke. Daft 'apporths.

It is not just clothes though.

That is a specific suit worm for a sexual act.

They are "forcing" the public to participate in the act.

Humiliation being a big part of it, if Mumsnetters are correct.
