Drag Act and Bondage Act for a babies and toddlers to enjoy?

I just don't understand why a mother would want to watch this with her baby in toe.

I found the comment by the company odd curated for the very young babies and parents, surely that should have been curated for parents who bring very young babies.

Utterly, utterly appalled - what kind of parent would do this and normalise it.

I'm just not a judgemental person

When it comes to safeguarding tiny children, is it not necessary to make judgements? What might they arrange next for their afternoon entertainment, a strip show?

It was arranged by new mums. It was initially a Christmas show. It was popular and more events have taken place subsequently. Apparently booked out.

This is what the company said:
As cabaret professionals each of our shows are specifically curated to the audiences advertised. Shows for the very young babies - are more aimed at the parents - new mums on maternity leave - providing a much needed "night out during the day".

It's come to our attention that people are sharing particular images and videos of one of our events that was specifically curated for the very young babies and parents.. not for "children of all ages" as implied.

I'm afraid I'm with Violet on this one.

And yes, I have watched films with a nursing baby on my knee that I know I wouldn't have wanted an older child to see.
I went to a play in America (sitting in a soundproofed area) with a baby-in-arms. I would not have taken my 3 year old to.
Cabaret is not "my thing" but I don't see why others can't enjoy it.

Meh

I took mine to the circus, wasn't much different

Sounds like circuses have changed since I last went then...

I'm just not a judgemental person

Not much different? I doubt it VS. Seems to be justified as daytime entertainment for mothers who can hold a pint in one hand and a baby in the other. Words fail me.

Worrying that any parent would take a baby to see this.

Did the parents sit through the whole show, or did they walk out before the end? I know which I would have done!

Never mind the babies and toddlers being exposed to this, which should be done in private if that is one’s life choice, any parent who chooses to actually watch this in public, should not be including their children in such an adult themed audience. Just wrong.

I'm struggling to find any words really.

Why is probably the best I can come up with.

Who sat down to discuss this and thought it a great idea?

I have no problem with drag artists story times but this is just pathetic.

I saw the video this morning, not appropriate in any shape of form.

Another step on the road of sexualisation of children.

It clearly says the show is aimed at parents with babies who couldn't go out and enjoy a caberet act otherwise.

No one ever held their baby while watching TV after the watershed?

What difference does "drag act" make?

What's the difference between watching this and watching people compete in sports like ice skating, synchronised swimming or gymnastics in skimpy outfits?

Bit of a silly fuss really

Normalising any sexual act etc is the first step in grooming.
In this case the parents.

Good grief Violetsky what are you taking ?
Totally inappropriate and whoever thought that one up and who ever attended with their little ones needs to see a psychiatrist as soon as possible
Of course it’s totally inappropriate why would you want your baby toddler to watch a strange man with his dangling bits dangling and an upside down woman showing off her fluff not to even go down the road of bondage

Rather be taking my babies to feed the ducks like normal mothers and fathers

If that is a true response from the organisers that 'babies would not understand what was being performed' it is one if the most inappropriate responses I have ever seen. The fact that babies dont understand what is happening should never be used as a defense.

Once again words fail me.

Whoever employed him need their head read.
