This is very fitting.

this is why i call my plushie “sweetieboo” because she is so cute :D

@nothungone  
“Art”

THIS. THIS ARTSTYLE. WHAT IS IT CALLED.

My god, the cuteness.

@HighRollerHydra  
Sounds like you are trying to pick a fight when there is none. Kindly bugger off.

Can’t you people just shut up and d’aww over Diasweetes?

@Skoon  
Actually I would say there are 2 other reasons:  

@HighRollerHydra  
Doesn’t drama typically indicate a fight? There was no confrontation here.

@HighRollerHydra
 

 
_{… Couldn’t resist. -_-}

Can’t you people go five minutes without giving this a “drama in the comments” tag?

@Cyborg_pony  
It’s not child abuse if it’s done in the name of entertainment!

@DrCoolcabbage  
You also gotta love the hypocrisy of some of those mothers.  
“I’m not sexualizing muh daughter. They’re sexualizin’ muh daughter. YOU PUT THAT THONG ON RIGHT NOW MISSY ER YOU DUN GET TO DANCE ON STAGE! she’s loves perfermin’”
 
You all know who that is..

@Skoon  
XD There’s got to be some wonderful symbolism there. A happy little filly sitting atop a discussion about how society’s spiraling out of control. Just another normal day on the internet!

@DrCoolcabbage  
To be honest as grim as serious as this discussion is; it has actually made the picture kind of funny by contrast.
 
Sweetie Belle is just there, totally ignorant and blissful.
 
Man this got deep. 3deep5me

@Skoon  
…Oh dear God that’s horrifying. And the taboo eventually becomes a commodity for the masses once someone figures out how to market it. And if that taboo is the sexualization of children? I mean, good God, there are already places that sell THONGS to kids. It’s this horrible vicious cycle that can only get worse…
 
Is that whole “colonizing the moon” thing still on the table, because that sounds really good right about now.

@Exhumed Legume  
Par for the course on the internet it seems. haha

We might be veering dangerously far from the topic here…

@DrCoolcabbage  
I thought of something just now.
 
Two major contributors have to be A; the long ingrained shaming of sex and sexuality in western culture and B; the contradictory sexualization of certain acts, clothes and contact.
 
By putting so much emphasis on how awful sexuality is we have warped our own values. The taboo is everything now. Humans naturally desire the taboo; existing issues are exacerbated, new ones created.
 
Additionally paranoia spreads. Overly protective and suspicious parents breed children who grow up to be protective and suspicious adults. A vicious cycle.
 
With each generation being shamed further while the media crams horror stories into their brains things get worse and worse until even making eye contact is considered rape and/or assault.
 
Adverse effects include putting, for example, pedophile thoughts into otherwise innocuous individuals. So much emphasis is placed upon it that the idea itself is drilled into the heads of the masses. Again, humanity loves the taboo. The conclusion is easy to draw.
 
For another example just look at tobacco. The harder people press to put it down and make it taboo; the more other people desire it.
 
Houston, we have a problem.

*in an outfit and makeup your average stripper would be embarrassed to wear. The vegatable doctor cannot type tonight.

@Cyborg_pony  
Oh, exactly. It’s totally cool to spraytan a five year old and make them dance around in outfits and make your average stripper would be embarrassed to wear, but so much as glance at a kid, and off to jail for you!

@DrCoolcabbage  
If you don’t think of the children, you’re a monster. If you are thinking of the children someone will misrepresent that and you’re a monster. So you’re screwed either way by these idiots.  
Not to mention networks and “companies” literally prostituting children for profit.
 
Looking at you TLC and potty-mouthed princesses.

@Skoon  
That would certainly explain it, along with the whole movement of raising your kids in a bubble. Now mix in a media that uses pedophile and child-molester interchangeably, a clothing industry that literally markets it clothing as making it “safe” for your kids to play in, and that belief that men have all the self-control of a horny chimpanzee, and…  

@Exhumed Legume  
yeah my grandmother still has pictures of me taking a bath when I was a baby/toddler. It was just a harmless recording of time for them. A felony today.
 
Imagining my grand-parents accused of a crime due to them is sickening. But not an impossibility anymore. :/

@DrCoolcabbage  
Hard to pin-point the exact reasons but this whole special snowflake mentality we have these days certainly has something to do with it.
 
The media doesn’t help with its constant pushing of horrible news and manipulation.
 
And, sadly, men are kind of mistreated today. When you are male people automatically assume you are doing something vile.
