Comment by Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee on things you can only do with boys

That second paragraph is pretty creepy actually, I think you’ve missed the point of the comic.

I’d say it’s okay to show someone your child’s genitalia when they’ve already seen it anyway.

Yep, my wife has seen my little baby wiener. The awkward teenage pictures were far more embarrassing though. Hers are buried in a hoarder house so I might never get to see her embarrassing school band photos.

I wouldn’t want to see naked photos of a significant other as a minor, but maybe that’s just me.

It’s everyone who isn’t a weirdo

This thread is giving me the ick

Yeah, definitely. At best they’re arguing tooth and nail for embarrassing their child in front of their partner, if not outright CP.

Major ick.

Right? All you’re doing is saying, “when I saw it last, it was a lot smaller than when you saw it.”

Seeing someone naked as an adult isn’t the same thing as seeing them naked as a minor.

You do see that, right?

Dude, this has been a traditional way for parents to embarrass their adult children in front of their partner for decades. My wife has seen my naked baby pictures without my parents even showing them to her. And I’ve seen hers. What’s the big deal? It’s not like either of us found them sexy.

Chopping part of your child’s dick off has also been traditional for decades, that’s a very poor justification for that behaviour.

Are you really comparing showing your child’s long-term partner their naked baby pictures with circumcision?

My point is “we’ve always done it like that” isn’t really a justification.

They are challenging the logic, is this really a confusing idea to you?

it’s still weird (source, i have parents), at least ask your daughter for consent first.

I’d consider it to be a breach of my privacy otherwise.

They’re baby pictures. We’re not talking about something erotic here. Naked babies are not some sort of scandalous thing. In most cultures, they’re normal.

i didn’t take them and i didn’t consent to them existing either. Neither did i consent to them being shown to anybody.

Naked humans are also normal, yet we still wear clothes. babies included, weirdly enough.

At what point does “naked baby photos” turn to “naked children photos” is my question.

how about this. You can have your naked baby photos, you just also have to be in the photo and naked as well.

DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT CONSENT IS

YOU LEARN IT AT SCHOOL, ITS VERY IMPORTANT

Taking photos of naked children isn’t, and shouldn’t, be normal in any culture I’m familiar with, and you definitely shouldn’t be showing them to anyone.

Tbf child marriage is also traditional, Muhammed had a 9yo bride (it’s “ok,” he didn’t have sex with her until she was 11.)

Defending things based solely on tradition can get pretty weird sometimes.

That’s a tradition that ended a long time ago. I’m talking about traditions that are ongoing. Also traditions that, despite someone else’s claim, probably don’t cause any psychological harm, at least most of the time.

I think you may be surprised and hopefully disturbed by this UNICEF article.

Despite a steady decline in this harmful practice over the past decade, child marriage remains widespread, with approximately one in five girls married in childhood across the globe. Today, multiple crises – including conflict, climate shocks and the ongoing fallout from COVID-19 – are threatening to reverse progress towards eliminating this human rights violation. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals call for global action to end child marriage by 2030.

So no, it was not “a long time ago.” It’s “hopefully by 2030.”

Also traditions that, despite someone else’s claim, probably don’t cause any psychological harm, at least most of the time.

Oh, so as long as you don’t believe the person and can therefore invalidate their feelings without guilt, and it only psychologically hurts “some” people who you I suppose arbitrarily believe over the ones you don’t, it’s fine?

Not sure I can agree with you on this one.

You do understand that to cultures where this isnt the norm, it sounds ridiculous to show naked pictures of your child when they were an infant to, well anyone?

It being a tradition has no bearing on it being awful or not. Circumcision is a tradition.

I’m sure you can find a more modern way to embarrass your child without resorting to CP?

Which cultures? And why do they get to decide what is right and what is wrong?

Also, naked photos of children are not child porn. Do you think they come out of the womb with clothes on?

I had to clean shit out of my daughter’s vagina regularly when I changed her diapers. Was that, similarly, sexual assault?

I personally have no use for pictures of baby genitals, but you really do huh? It even makes you upset we want to take away your baby genital pictures huh?

Is this some perverse form of individualism?

Edit: if you took a picture of you cleaning your daughters vagina out, and showed someone, yes that would be child porn and child abuse.

Today I learned flying squid is okay with this kind of thing and that’s fucked up

It’s a violation of privacy & consent

How do you get a baby’s consent exactly?

You can’t, that’s why you don’t take photos of them naked.

NO IT IS NOT

Always get the consent of the now adult that was in the picture as a child or don’t take the picture if they are still a child

Dude, do you think I would intentionally cause my child actual pain? My god.

It’s all fucking weird. I never took photos of my child naked. I don’t get the idea at all.

I’m glad someone else sees it.
