cabababarave - Google Search cannot see that anywhere.

Google search does vary according to your personal history and preferences though.

It's there halfway down when I click your search - when I search the three words separately it's one of the first images.

You are so far down the rabbit hole you’re unable to see what’s real or not. That’s a sexualised pose. It’s very clear.

Google image search circus performer and you will find hundreds of images of people doing the exact same pose often in far skimpier outfits at family events. Are they sexualised performances?

I think this is a bit of a rabbithole because I don't believe this came from a google search in the first place.

Gymnasts and teenage cheerleaders are doing routines in nothing but thongs and stripper heels

I was referring to the image of someone doing the splits in a leotard.

I was just doing what you could have done yourself.

the country that gave us page 3 is suddenly worried about the children

[Doppelgänger]

they're gyrating in front of the parents
the babies happen to be there, and to them everything is great and new and marvellous, do they have a clue what is going on?
no
not a clue at all

Did you just write that with a straight face?

You're right though, it's best to groom them young, while they have no clue what is going on...

I think we also need to question the parents' rationale here, as they are clearly missing a few brain cells if they think this can be in anyway acceptable.

Who was it who was saying a few pages ago about how sexist and sexualised mainstream entertainment was in the 80s? Just a few memories that spring to mind was some comedian (Russ Abbott?) having scantily clad women randomly dance at intervals as peak time Saturday entertainment, saucy postcards, and some Two Ronnies book my dad had which featured incredibly sexualised cartoon pictures of women. Not to mention Benny Hill

These days some of the most sexualised material readily available to children are certain music videos.

Young babies aren’t really going to know what’s considered sexualised or not (in the context of entertainment which isn’t barred for safeguarding reasons), it’s when they get older that it becomes more of an issue. Would I have taken my babies to that cabaret thing? Almost certainly not because a) I find burlesque meh and b) they probably would have screamed through it but I find it hard to see how it’s damaging. If it helps a mum who’s been struggling have an enjoyable, light hearted time then on balance it’s probably positive.

Or at least it's not just "I did a search and came up with this image and I was outraged". It's frankly unbelievable that this very specific outrage campaign has somehow arisen independently.

You think Edie screen grabbed the image from what looks like their insta story, and then luckily it also happens to be one of the first images that comes up on google?
Or Edie is secretly some conservative dude off Twitter?

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Yea, cuz male gymnasts and teenage cheerleaders routinely, and mainly, get paid by adult entertainment venues and on the whole dress up their cock and balls in leotard thongs and wear stripper heels.

Happy Saturday night in the pub everyone.

mumsnet

that was what I was specifically asking for

 

[belboid]

Literally on Google images mate. First page. Once something’s been posted it gets screen grabbed.

I mean if you want to maintain that event didn’t happen and that photo isn’t from it… you might be right… I guess.

But say it did happen, and that is an image from it, would your feelings be that’s… appropriate?

Cos if I came to know that a bunch of Christian Brothers or Scout leaders or whatever were acting like that in front of children it would certainly raise a few concerns for me.

My general feeling is that if it’s sexual, it’s not for children. Clearly urban disagrees.

It’s on the first page is you add ‘sexualised’. Or maybe it just reflects your search history.

 

[Edie]

Oh. We’ll just Google dude, they’re not hard to find really.

 

[Ax^]

depends on you search history of being outraged

 

[Rob Ray]

groom them

Ah yes, that thing The Queers Do, enabled presumably by all those (presumably at least vaguely straight) mums who've been brainwashed into bringing their kids for ritual sacrifice.

It's not about "defenders" or "attackers" btw, it's about treating this stuff as a conversation, rather than starting with the frothing outrage of tabloids and going from there.

 

[Thora]

Or at least it's not just "I did a search and came up with this image and I was outraged". It's frankly unbelievable that this very specific outrage campaign has somehow arisen independently.

We have had several pages of discussion on here about this and it's been in all the papers and on This Morning, so I'm not sure that it's a shock that Edie knew what term to google...

 

[Pickman's model]

Well it's currently impossible to get to cabababarave.com to determine any exact details of what they do, quite likely because it's a deliberate target of a right wing US culture war campaign promoted by the usual parade of fascists. Cache says

Grand to see you posting again

 

[Edie]

I didn’t add sexualised. But why would it matter? It’s clearly fucking sexualised. The edgy ‘take your baby to a drag show’ vibe is what it’s about That’s the reason it’s edgy.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Grand to see you posting again

It's a long story, but I am still cross about many things.

 

[Rob Ray]

Question: Why do the more critical folks think these two mums organised the acts? They did say outright in their promo, but just as an exercise in placing yourself in someone else's head.

 

[FridgeMagnet]

Oh. We’ll just Google dude, they’re not hard to find really.

You got it from Mumsnet. That's significant, it will help track down where this stuff came from.
