    And if it wasn't illegal it'd still be dangerous yeah?

    Just like this could still be dangerous for the child's development even though it falls within the law

    Legality is not the arbiter of right/wrong

    It might not be dangerous if you were thought how to drive a car at a young age and were therefore, capable of driving a car.

    The point I have previously made is that we will not know if this will be dangerous for the child's development because it is too early to tell. We will only know if it has harmed his development in in the long run in the future. It is impossible to tell what harm if any it is currently doing to the development of the child.

    Why do you choose to see it as one but not the other?

    Becuase he is not dancing on anyone's lap that's the distinction for me.

    This is a child's life not some kind of experiment...

    What do we say if in 10 years he's completely ****ed up?
    Shrug and say "Oh well"??

    Strippers don't always dance on your lap. This costs extra I believe. However they do prance around the stage and people do throw money at them on stage. Very like this kid

    Wow. So that makes it alright so?

    Why don't you consider it a table dance so? Same tipping issue. Is it because there's no table?

    And what if it turned out that he would have been completely fine in 10 years but his parents controlled him at the time and didn't allow him to do what they wanted to do (within reason).

    So he ended up resenting his parents, hanging out with the wrong crowd and turned to drugs and then ended up being just as ****ed up as some posters think he will be in the future if he continues on the current path that he is on.

    Just this last point. I'm fairly positive there have been studies done on early application of sexualisation towards children being negative towards their normal development. Not explicitly physical, but mental desensitizing towards normal sexual boundaries and self involvement in same.

    and becomes a stripper. Wait, he already basically is one.

    It's not about one child though, is it. Desmond is a symptom of a society that can hardly tell its arse from its elbow. He is celebrated on mainstream day time TV as trail blazing, inspirational, ''the future of America''.

    It's about a society having a - gosh, I can't say 'moral fabric' because that is so unfashionable, nowadays - a line in the sand, maybe?

    We have swung too far in what is acceptable for children to be able to do now. Fcuk, I don't even care if it is square to say that.

    One of the most surprising things I have seen in TV in recent years was on This Morning, the ITV morning TV show for housewives and stay at home mothers. They featured a little 9yr old boy and his mum from Canada. The little boy was a drag Queen at 8 with drag queen name Lactatia, in reference to breast lactation.
    There were videos of him dancing on stage in "sexy" dresses for mobs of baying adult men.

    Most frightening was the reaction of the hosts of This Morning, Philip Schofield and Holly Willoby. They were positively cooing their approval, "how lucky you are to have such an understanding mum to let you live out your dream to dance for men", "and you picked this lovely name Lactatia yourself? Of course you did, clever child", "what a great and touching example of how to truly love and accept a 9 year old like this". It was really very worrying. It felt like a concerted effort to elevate this utter insanity to the realm of an expression of love for your child and a value to aspire to.

    A few years ago it would've been too objectionable for a show like Eurotrash, suddenly its reframed as "family values" segment in a daytime show for stay at home mums. It made me incredibly uncomfortable that such ideas were creeping in on TV shows for impressionable people who look to mainstream hosts for cooking and medical advice. I definitely think someone somewhere is pulling the strings with very nefarious intent, I don't believe for a second this is something that's springing up organically, it really is a case of "if you tolerate this then YOUR children will be next".

    What the hell was an 11 year old kid doing in a club dancing in front of adult men.

    If it was an 11 year old girl in a club dancing in front of men I think we would be calling them paedos and rightly so because it's only sickos that want to see that kind of thing.

    Yes it is real insanity. It is connected to so many other things too.

    I feel like it's faaairly easy in this situation to identify which path has the higher likelihood of him turning to drugs or whatever...

    And they tend to be sexualised enough as it is, let's be honest.

    Though at least they're put across as a competition between children. What's this?

    In fairness, there are lots of comments made about those too. In fact, I would say most people would be against those. I can't imagine an article proclaiming how great the pageants are appearing in a mainstream media source or the participants and their parents being lauded on national television. They are usually the subject of ridicule, if not outrage, and rightly so imo.

    How come it's ok to question child beauty pageants but questioning this means you're a raging right wing bigot?

    Do audience members throw dollar bills at the performers?
    Also, what percentage of the audience at a pageant have their own children performing? I'd assume it would be greater than 75% at least?

    Also, as wrong as this is, there is a difference between a "contest" and a performance.

    By the way, I'm not pro beauty pageant by the way. I think they do have the same sexualisation application towards children. The difference though is the pageant is positioned as contest between several kids, where the audience is mainly parents of other performers, so slightly more accepted publicly.

    I'd have to agree, there's been a push for all sorts of bizarre behaviour the last few years and a lot of useful idiots to cheerlead it on... Usually of the purple haired variety

    I don’t think they less sexualised. They just confirm to heterosexual norms in terms of sexualisation.

    I was being a bit glib in my argument. But I firmly believe what really makes people uncomfortable is the face it’s a young boy and gay audiences. It grates against current social norms. There is still a wide spread association between bring gay and being a pederast, which is completely inaccurate.

    Child pageants are stupid. This is stupid. People on this thread are outraged about one. That’s stupid.

    I find neither entertaining and neither outrageous. It’s incredibly hypocritical to say if it was a girl the more left wing amongst us would be outraged when critiquing this young fella. When pageants continue with little outrage. This is my point.

    I do envy his ability to dance like Gwen Stefani though. I wish

    Not quite that simple though is it? Where is it taking place. Why are they throwing money at him in the same seedy fashion that a stripper gets it?

    It's the usual story.. ideology and the need to show "progressive" they are, over basic cop on.

    Anyone trying to defend the subject of this thread needs to have a serious look at themselves. These are impressionable and vulnerable children that are being exploited, end of.

    It's wrong, and investigations and charges should follow. No amount of virtue-signalling crapology will change that
