I'm sick of people posting pictures of their baby in yelp restaurant reviews. I want to know about the damn restaurant, not your baby.

Unless they're constantly dressed up as the characters or playing with the toys or drawing or something then, yeah, I agree it's off topic.

even if they're on topic, it's weird and not very safe to post lots and lots of photos of kids to a forum of strangers and near-strangers

Well, yeah, but dumb parents gonna dumb parent. I'd be more annoyed if I were the kids of my parents splattering my picture online. But as a fandom-goer I'd be like "ok, stop, enough. It's off topic, stop."

It's the safe thing that I always go back to. Maybe I'm overly paranoid because of relatives in law enforcement but I'd never post pics of my hypothetical kids on the internet. Ever.

But also definitely weird too. Like...no one cares, and if they do care, you should be asking yourself if you're 100% comfortable with why they care.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-11 12:08 pm (UTC)(link)
It's definitely not safe. Someone posting tons of pictures of their kids like that probably doesn't realize how much they're oversharing either. It's so easy these days for someone to figure out your general location by your post history, especially if they're already familiar with your area.

I read an article about how children's privacy is being affected by their parents posting about them online all the time and it really took me aback.

It makes me quite worried for the effects on the kids. Some were horrified that strangers knew personal stories and inside jokes about them the kids themselves didn't even know. I worry about family bloggers too, though with other reasons piled on top of documenting your whole life for money.

Agreed.

Creepy factor aside, some parents need to realize that other people don't give as much of a fuck about their kids as they do. Also why would you risk putting your kids out there when the internet is crawling with pedo's that do not even need anything too explicit for them to sexualize?

When I was 16 and my sister was 14 we used to take a lot of silly videos of ourselves and started a youtube channel. It was literally just us talking, going to the zoo, and eating food. Fast forward a little and I found out videos were being added to playlist of videos with other young girls. Needless to say I deleted our videos and channel not long after that.

So yeah, don't share pics of your underage kids in publicly accessible places unless you are okay with the thought that some creep might be collecting them. Once again they don't even have to be sexual in nature to attract creeps.

+1, my niece and a few of her friends (all aged 14-15) had exactly the same experience. Extremely creepy. Their parents were checking the videos to make sure the content was safe and you couldn't work out where they lived from it and people still creeped it up.

Some cat owners need to realise that too, but fat chance in fandom.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I mean, the difference is that cats are cute and human kids are... well, not.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-14 04:44 pm (UTC)(link)
+1

You should probably drop a hint or twelve... You'd be doing most people a favour.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 08:57 am (UTC)(link)
Ask the discord to straight up have a rule about posting pics of minors. Mine do. The first mistake was a selfie channel.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 12:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I know which Discord this is. The one doing it is a BNF, even. And yeah, no, kids on the channel is creepy AF, one of the reasons as to why I noped out of the fandom.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
This reminds me of a person, several fandoms back, who'd always comment on my explicit fanfic with the default userpic of her and her kid.

It creeped me the fuck out every single time. Like, can I not just imagine fictional characters having sex in peace, without seeing this rando and her chubby toddler?

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugh. That reminds me of this woman in a tiny fandom I'm in. She is a generally unpleasant ass, a raging homophobe who kept going full "omg how dare you ship my fave with another dude, he's not GAY, you're DISRESPECTING the creator!" on anyone who shipped him with a guy while she shipped him with mostly herself or very thinly disguised self-inserts (commissioning explicit fic and artwork featuring the character and herself and everything). She also kept posting plenty of porn art and vids and gifs from those weird videogame porn movies that kept popping up during the last years for (het) ships she has.

She also posted links for her gofundme where she begged people for money to pay a lawyer because her baby daddy wanted to sue her for custody (all while also constantly posting about all the expensive merch she kept buying). She kept saying how much of a perfect, amazing mom she was and what a complete saint she was being, too.

At the same time, she kept posting pictures of herself (including lewds and nudes) and, most importantly, of her daughter (pre-school age I think). And the worst part: She had her and her daughter's name openly displayed in several of those photos as well. In one particularly idiotic post, she was bragging about her daughter's achievements in school WITH A PHOTO OF HER DAUGHTER'S REPORT CARD WITH THE SCHOOL'S ADDRESS PLAIN IN SIGHT!
She has deleted by now, fortunately. But especially that last part was ridiculously dumb. What the fuck, lady.

Good lord. Someone get that kid away from that train wreck.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I kinda lowkey hope the babydaddy's lawyer found her tumblr (since she did give her full name and all) and that's why she deleted. Not that I believe the father is in any way a better person because I don't know about that... but posting the pictures, name and school address of your small child on the same page you post your porn, explicit self-insert fantasies with fictional animated characters and your lewds is kinda a predator incident waiting to happen so... yikes.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 10:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Holy hell.

I can see why the dad is suing for custody, 'cause yikes.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Anyone who uses a photo of themselves as a default userpic in an online space (unless it's something like Facebook) weirds me out tbh. Like, why would you think that anyone else cares what you look like? The beauty of online interactions is that it doesn't matter, you're not being judged for your physical appearance but rather for the way you present yourself.

(Anonymous) 2019-09-10 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Previous anon. Yes, indeed. I'm also old school and would sooner die than link my fandom spaces to my real life spaces in any way so...
