I was watching Bad Lip Reading Desantis and saw that he kissed a baby on a stage. I just gave the most creepy feeling from him, and it wasn't just because this was a comedic dub.

I've been noticing for a while now that some politicians still put their dirty lips on children in public and people clap for that sort of thing.

All politicians from the president to the local mayor need to abandon kissing babies like that. With the way the world is now, abandoning that sort of forced affection needs to be done. Too many politicians are showing their true colors and kissing children who are not their own (nor can they consent) just makes them and the people who allow it look creepy.

I get why politicians want these photos. I struggle to understand why people want a politician to kiss their baby. I was barely ok with the med staff taking my newborn for legit reasons...

My thoughts exactly. I have a grown child and would never willingly let some stranger, politician or not, kiss on him when he was young.

It feels like I'd be abandoning my child's own body sovereignty since they can't consent to being kissed at that age.

Yeah I don't think it's creepy to kiss babies on the head

I don't think it's creepy, but if i had a baby and someone is like: hey i wanna kiss your baby for a picture, there is no way i would say yes.

How else is he going to eat the baby's soul, though?

More souls for the one true god, Moloch!

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
