The horrifying thing is that I have actually seen 9 year olds dressed pretty provocatively, and that just makes me feel more sick to think of gross perverts who find that sexy.
I feel even more sick when I remember being 11 years old and how I perceived the world; a friend (also 11) had a 16 year old boyfriend and I remember we all thought this was the coolest thing, and I wondered whether dressing more provocatively would help me to get a boyfriend. Normalising this shit is like societal level grooming
Or when the parents dress kids that way. Child beauty pageants have always seemed gross to me. Parents dressing their young kids in ways that would be too much even for adults…
That’s not the only sick part. The abuse those kids get from their stage parents to perform in those pageants with what the parents view as perfection is just disgusting. And, of course, the kids get nothing out of it. It’s all so mom and dad can brag about their pageant winner.
If she got pregnant it’s probably her fault. The number of sexy, sexy nine years olds I’ve seen walking around dressed provocatively…
/s but please let it be obvious that was sarcasm

I’m still temped to downvote this anyway because it disgusted me so much.
