Every male is a paedophile though aren't they according to the media and feminists?

Me personally think it is a very evocative picture. Difference would be I don't use FB and even if I did would not want this shared.

The dad will now be on a CPS (SS) radar over there

THIS^^^

Was the photo required on social media ? No.

Does it have any undertone of paedophilia? Absolutely no.

But as said, an adult male cant be naked in the same room as his children these days without the accusation that he is some Jimmy Saville wannabe.
 
I think the photo is beautiful and intimate. And that's why I don't think it should have been exposed to social media.

All photos these days will end up on social media even if it never originated on there. A lot of websites now has a share button and all it take is someone to share that photo on Pinterest or Twitter and then a few likes later it's gone global. Even the first copy was uploaded onto the photographer's own site to begin with.
 
Philosoraptor mode:

Would people say the same thing if the dad was black?

Note: Haven't looked at the picture so might look an idiot if pic does have dad black but meh I don't have much dignity anyway

Idiot I have looked :rolleyes:
 
Definitely wouldn't say it's paedophilic. Whoever the hell thinks that needs their head checking.
I do think it's a very sweet image however I can also say if I was in the same situation I would never think to myself 'oh I know, I'll go take a picture of my seriously ill kid when it's crapping and puking all over itself in the shower'. Whilst the moment is beautiful, some things should remain personal and private.
 
Tricky one...

In the 1990s, the photos were in albums and would get passed around the dinner table for viewing. In the early 2000s, digicams took over and the same people would crowd around a desktop PC after dinner, again for viewing only.

Now the photos are shared online and potentially seen by outsiders depending on privacy settings. People can right click and save the images so you don't know whose PC they end up on. So while it isn't paedophilia, I would say that sharing family photos online would be a consent issue until the kids hit 13 or so.
 
I don't care either way i probably will never look at it again until its spammed all over the news again tomorrow or a slow news day...

not sure what kind of moron wants their intimate family photos plastered all over the web though? Some 15 mins of fame ****.
 
I kinda agree with the OP. It is a touching photograph, a strongly personal intimate family moment. :)


....to be "shared" with thousands on facebook. :rolleyes:

I think this generation ....prostitutes its SELF and value and that is what is wrong with it sadly.
 
Can't really vote. I can see why it could be taken as a private family moment, but plastering it across social media is not something I agree with.
 
I have no problem with the photo or the fact is was shared. But what I do take exception to is people complaining about it because it was a man holding his child rather than a mother holding her child. I am utterly sick to death of the constant "men are bad" political correctness that has pervaded our society. It has to stop.
 
Bit odd to reach for the camera and put it on social media

As to the act or photo itself. Nothing wrong

It is just the way of the world these days... I think moments like that should be kept private, Just because it is a powerful moment doesn't mean everyone needs to know about it...

If that were the case then many newspapers/magazines would rarely have any photos to print, especially the hard hitters. Some of the most thought provoking and gut wrenching images of war, famine and disaster wouldn't have been displayed.

It's a very well composed and taken photo, with lots of emotion, and I don't see why the mother should be chastised for either finding the time to take it (showing father and son bonding) or for posting it.

My partner did a similar thing when my child was in hospital and id beeen sent home for the night (only one over night visitor) she took a pic of my very ill daughter and posted it on facebook. Needles to say this almost ended our relationship and the picture was removed.

I'd be the same. Had a significant falling out with my step-sister and subsequently my mum on this issue. They both post daily photos of my step-nephew on facebook in anything from dressed up for fancy occasions to naked in the bath. And to make it worse my step-sister has some 1500 facebook 'friends'. How anyone thinks that's an appropriate audience to share potentially intimate photos of your kids to, I don't know.

It's not enough the whole 'hurr durr paedo' thing.. It's just wrong in general imo.

In my opinion, this photo should have never been taken let alone posted on the internet.

According to the link the child was increadibly ill with salmonela poisoning so the father was keeping him in the shower to try and bring his temperature down and to easily remove sick etc. Yet the mother found time instead of worrying how potentially ill her child was decided to take a picture of the moment and post it on social media

Anyone actually think this is ok?

It's the sick SJW freaks that try to sexualise every innocent photo that need to be banned from society.

What does SJW stand for? But yeah, 100% agree with you.

don't see why you would share it, but nothing wrong with it.

And 100% agree with you :-) It's the sombrero party all over again.
 
I don't see the need to share something like this on social media. There's nothing wrong with the picture, but family photo's are for family albums, not public consumption. Why do people feel the need to share all this stuff?
