I think constant judgement and vague implications of "repercussions" that boils down to "because pedophiles" is the very definition of fear-mongering, yes.

Okay, I see you are struggling with the concept of hypotheticals and objective vs. subjective tests. I'm not a very good teacher, so I'll bow out of this one.
Seriously? You just implied that this woman posting the most harmless photo of her child showing her belly might lead to her child being brutally raped. Maybe YOU should think about why you're putting other people down, and think about your own intellectual shortcomings, of which you appear to have many.
If it was a boy, I doubt they would have done anything. This isn't "objective line drawing." This is puritanism of the worst sort. There's no nudity in that picture. That picture is not pornography. It's not comparable to pornography. It's not close to the line of pornography. How in the world does a "no female…
You're an idiot. Posting pictures of a child on the internet is not a failure to protect them. A child is not going to be raped because their parent put pictures of them on the internet. That's a ridiculous suggestion. Did the kids you work with get raped because someone saw their picture on the internet? Get…
Over a decade ago my then two year old cousin stripped from the waist down at a family picnic and ran in circles because he 'needed to fart'. Still one of the top ten most hilarious moments of my life.
"Americans are the only group of people I have ever encountered so far..."
I don't know what I find more uncomfortable: this comment, the 55 people who starred you, or the people who responded to you agreeing with your sentiments.
I was in the military when a buddy of mine stopped by the dorms with his awesome three year old son. We were all pals and hung out quite a bit and dad asked me if I could watch the boy while he ran two errands on base.
At some point during her childhood my sister nicknamed herself Nakey Mouse. (If I ever write a blog it's going to be nothing but mildly embarrassing stories about my little sisters' childhoods, you can count on that.)
I often babysit my nieces and nephew and the two-year-old won't stay dressed. If we are just hanging out at the house, I don't even bother trying to get her dressed.
There are weirdos out there that could get off on a baby in a burqa. A belly button shot is harmless.
Or had them lift up your shirt in a quest for the belly button comparison
Once I took someone's kid to the bathroom. I was just telling her to flush when her mother walked in, and the girl promptly threw open the stall door, yelled out "MOMMY!"and waddled towards her...with her pants and underwear still down. It was possibly the funniest thing I'd seen in my life.
It's kind of their thing. No filter. "What's my belly button up to today?"= take shirt off. "I'm hot"= take shirt off. "What even IS shirt?"= take shirt off. They do not even remotely care.
I have been flashed by so many toddlers it's not even funny. Ok, ok, I kid- it is adorable.
This doesn't surprise me at all. I was nearly fired from the shitty mall portrait studio I worked at in college because a parent asked for a diaper-only washbasin portrait of her toddler. I obliged, and the picture came out super cute. Imagine my surprise when the photos (that the mother paid for) were shredded at the…
I have posted pictures like this before, and probably on Instagram. This is a sweet picture of a little girl and her stomach is showing. Oh the horror. I like using Instagram, but this sort of ridiculousness is what drives people away.
I'll just say that if you've never seen a 2-3 year old spontaneously lift up or take off their shirt or dress apropos of nothing, then you have never seen a 2-3 year old.
