Guess how old this girl is

[Animavore]

I just think people have their priorities mixed up.
This was in the news yesterday and yet this story is making bigger headlines.

[Mousy]

It's not the case that I'm prioritising one over the other, because it's related. I don't think that sexualised photos of children should be presented as acceptable or enviable, particularly not when such photos would probably be at home in a paedophile's collection too.
You're making an argument akin to, 'let's not discuss one boy dying because hundreds of children die every day in Africa'.
I challenge you to never post trivial shit again.

[Animavore]

I don't see anything 'sexualised' about the pics. I find it hard in my head to think of a child in that way. Looks to me like a young girl playing grown-up. It's cute and silly at the same time.

[Animavore]

By the way, none of the way papers say anything about topless shoots. Where are you getting that from (there is no way I'm Googling her name followed by 'topless' )

[Rum]

Now now you two!

I actually agree with Mousy. They aren't blatantly sexual as such but they are sexualising. The pics are meant to have some impact other than a child dressing up or a child simply dressed.

May not be the most evil thing on the planet but it is an example of overly sexualising kids at much too early an age.

Damn straight. I find them a bit creepy TBH.

[Animavore]

How is the child being 'sexualised'?

[Animavore]

Damn straight. I find them a bit creepy TBH.

Some people find homosexuality 'creepy' and use it as a reason to moralise their disliking of it.
You're going to have to do better than that

One of my brothers is gay, so try again.

Well then you should understand the point I'm making. All I'm hearing is "Eww. That's disgusting. She's being 'sexualised'" but no one has said how she is being sexualised.

I would have thought it was perfectly obvious from the pictures.

[Animavore]

Bwa-ha-ha!
Just what I thought. You've no coherent argument just the disgust reflex.
I wouldn't even find the same poses in an adult sexual. Not with those clothes. Just 'posey'. Now if she was sucking suggestively on an icepop or has a candlestick between her legs I'd grant you clemency but not on these pics.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? She has lipstick on in some of them. She is sprawled across a divan in another, she has a bare shoulder and a 'come hither' look in yet another. The images are those you would normally see on an adult 'sexy' model.

[Animavore]

Oh no! She has lipstick on! Every woman with lipstick on is being sexually provocative! She's lying across a divan! Every woman lying across a divan wants to be pounced!

I don't see the 'come hither' look in that last one

Would this thread be better placed in "Serious"?
