[@jfrmichel]

As a 17 year old girl I am genuinely terrified of the day I turn 18. When you’re a minor one can sort of “scare” creeps by telling them you are underaged because even though they are completely okay with being with a young girl, they are terrified of going to jail and that’s the only thing stopping them. There is a lack of protection towards us when we are young and that shield completely disappears when you turn 18. Because you are “an adult” now men can make all advances they want on you and be completely okay. I never understood this. It’s not like a flip switches when you turn 18 and you’re magically mature. You still feel the same as before. One still feels like a child I assume. It’s just so terrifying I will no longer keep myself safe from p3d0s. (Sorry if there is any grammar mistakes

10 years ago when i was a teenage girl about to turn 18, i remember thinking that maybe i deserved the unwanted attention from men twice my age, after all "what did I expect?" now i'm a fully grown adult who is attracted to women, and i finally have an answer: basic respect. that's what i expected. i like women a lot, and yet when a hot girl pops up on my FYP i check her age before interacting with her page. this to me is basic respect. i would never subscribe to the OF of an 18 year old (i would also not shame her for making it if i don't know her because if i don't know her it's none of my business) because to me it's clear that it's a person who is trying out things, like young people often do, and finding their path in life, and i'm the adult in the room now and i have a responsibility to not enable stupid and reckless behaviour. on a fundamental level, i understand that just because i am physically attracted to someone, it doesn't mean that their sexuality is *for me* and for my consumption. it scares me how many adults don't understand this or don't care to understand this. teenagers are gonna do weird reckless cringy things to impress their peers because they're bored, they want attention, they're figuring out their sexuality, they're working through trauma in messy ways, they're acting out against their parents and a bunch of other reasons that have absolutely nothing to do with us, the adults. it's our responsibility to understand this and act accordingly. also my kids better have a private account everywhere or else

The internet era has been "raising" a lot of children both for better and worse. I just think it is extremely reckless and potentially dangerous on criminal levels for parents and level-minded adults to not be checking whoever's in charge of propping young children up on social media when there are so many types of prowlers lurking for that kind of thing. The internet has normalised a lot of things, this is NOT something that should be considered normal in any society, nor should it be in anyone's mind to CONSIDER making it normal.

[@solocomics1820]

The worst part about that this has been here for a very long time. Even before the internet. Some parents don't give two craps about most of the time. And it's not because parenting has ever ended. It just some parents choose to be completely lazy and not monitor their children. That is the sad reality of it. Once a child is exposed to a lot of bad things, it's over and there's nothing much we can do about it. And it's not really the internet fault because of this, it's mostly the parents fault as well because of a lack of monitoring. Don't get wrong the internet has a lot of bad things. Because people created these bad things but it's you as the parent to take responsibility and accountability of this problem.

There is a huge difference between a teen doing something she probably shouldn't be in the name of self discovery, & a large artist/corporation polishing this for a music video and broadcasting it to the masses. On top of that, just because she does it privately, doesn't mean that ADULTS should encourage that.

If she’s doing it on TikTok then SHE’S putting it out there in the public. Let’s not act like teenagers don’t sometimes just do whatever they want, especially on the internet for clout.

Give a kid a phone and they’ll fuck around and find out.

Most kids in my county at that age are still in high school and are not that much different from their slightly younger peers.

in the US the age of majority used to be 21 but ofc because they wanted boys to go into the army early they lowered it to be 18 honestly it should have stayed at 21 because even if 18 is the legal age we can't do much between the ages of 18-20 there is so much growth and even at 20 you are still figuring things out still you're just starting true adulthood you sometimes even feel like a teen because you just got out of your teenagehood at 21in the US we basically have all the rights as every other adult we can drink, rent cars, get a hotel room, etc we don't have any limits anymore

The sad thing is also those children don’t know what they’re doing. At that age, twerking is seen as something ridiculous and fun, not sexual and inappropriate.

I think children also pick up on the fact that it’s something “women” do, so they copy this behaviour to express their own femininity. They don’t understand the harmful implications behind it.

Twerking originated as an African dance called "Mapouka". It is still known as a mating dance nonetheless and minors shouldn't be taking part either way.

[@hafeezahbashir2516]

Exactly

[@samiinaa]

yep! and wiki is not a great source of information

[@maloryj7165]

Mapouka is fairly modern and unrelated to "mating". You'd have to trace back to the earliest humans to find the origins of dancing by isolating and moving your ass. It exists in loads of independently developed traditional dance and you can't really pinpoint "THIS" is where it started.

this reminds me of the music video of "fearless" by lesserafim (a kpop girl group), 3 out of 6 members were still teenagers and the youngest was only 15 and they made them twerk on the floor. i really despise how se*ualized young women/teenage girls are in kpop in general, both by their companies and "fans". i remember when kpop idols like yuna or wonyoung turned 18 and suddenly grown men mass commented that they need to make an OF account now. + there are distusting f4p videos about them with footage where they were only 14/15.

@@prxncess6463 Well as Madisyn rightfully referenced, 'Twerking' (not the original name but that's the Americanized, more main stream and the Umbrella term for any gyration of the hips & buttocks...so for lack of confusion let's just go with that) was mainly used by Ancient Africans in their religious/spiritual ceremonies. That's one culture for sure where it was not inherently sexual to twerk but in other cultures, for different reasons it might have been. Either way, the point is 'twerking' as its known today, especially in the western part of the world has become in most case scenarios... a seggualized, adult like expression whether or not the intended and original purpose wasn't such.

[@oggardner522]

Awesome video! You’re input pertaining to this is so insightful and cathartic to hear. I always found it a little difficult to understand the sexual liberation of the feminist movement in the modern era (around the last 10 years), especially since it encourages women to subjugate themselves in a manner solely for male pleasure. Everyone should have respect and joy for their bodies but I think in many ways women aren’t being empowered to practice self-love in this area. Rather they’re encouraged to provide their bodies as a constant commodity for men.

[@LoneWulf278]

That’s the conclusion of every social justice movement in a capitalist society. Nothing has any value to people if it can’t be well-packaged and sold. And clearly sex sells everything. So that’s the ingredient our media uses to misrepresent ideologies to the masses.

[@genqueenbee]

We need to educate kids better, like you said, kids mimic adult behaviors. As adults we need to do better, we say we want to protect the kids, but I feel some people want to protect kids from their right to privacy and education about all topics not just s*x. A lot of adults don't have important life conversations with their kids because they may feel like it's uncomfortable, and it may be, but it's important for the child's safety to know if they're being exploited or not. A lot of uneducated kids can get exploited, used, and kidnapped, because they don't know any better because someone didn't teach them the signs of exploitation or if people are being creeps or if you should talk to strangers. I'm 20 years old and at times still feel like a kid. I always thought I wanted a older person , but because they're older doesn't mean sh*t. Maturity comes from character, not from age. You have grown adults out her acting worse than kids, adults also need to be educated better. A child need to worry about school and friends, not s*x or trying to do these crazy things that they see other "adults" do. It's important to make videos like in this to spread awareness and to help and save as many exploited and uneducated adults, and kids that we can.

Disney stars were actively DEsexualised and still ended up going hard in the other direction once they were old enough to have some agency because they felt like they were deprived of a normal adolescence where they would've been able to develop that part of themselves at a normal rate. It baffles me that anyone in this day and age would think it's okay to put a minor in the limelight, sexualised or not, because it's already been proven a million times that fame is bad for kids.

[@teclitauchiha7342]

As a 14 years old my relationship with my childhood best friend is over because of this. I would always tell the girl not to expose herself in a way she could be sexualized and she never listened to me. Her histories and post would always be provocative, showing her boobs or her cheeks or in a swimsuit without being in the pool or in the beach. She started hanging out with some girls that smoked and those kind of things. I told her that this wasn't normal, this is not okay and he told me that I'm boring and overreacting. She started hanging out with some boys. And she started getting far away from me just because she wanted this attention. Some pictures of her were filtered. Even some teachers found out. Even after this she kept doing it. I did my best as a friend, I told her not to, I tried everything I could but she didn't listen. I told her that we are no longer friends after this. And I left. I am hurt because she was like my sister but, the thing that got me more mad is that some teacher caught her with a boy in a bathroom. And that boy is the one who is sending her nudes to other people. So, I was tired of all this nonsense and I left.

As a 14 year old girl , at this age I educated myself on concepts surrounding topics like this and more so of topics in the black community.. I used myself and my thoughts in the timeline of when I was 13 as an example , that I found myself more ' appealing ' when I showed more skin or wore tight fitted clothing , though it wasn't often.. I went through a mindset of , oh , I don't like this , why exactly am I doing this? I asked myself question after question before I came to a stop and said , you know what , I don't have to wear something revealing or race to become an adult as a child.. I don't like that. I scrolled through my entire gallery that day and deleted each photo that (I) found inappropriate , because once you grow into a certain mindset after falling victim to another , it takes you implementing it step by step to fully dissolve it. So for all the teenage girls who see your friends taking pictures with the adult-natured hairstyles , long acrylic nails and lip glossed lips with a touch of lip liner.. Just remember you have your entire adult years to implement that , live as a kid now , that's all you need to do.

[@wolfiebeatstm1062]

Honestly I didn’t start wearing acrylic nails and makeup until 16(cause my mom is a responsible parent) and I’m 17 and about to be 18 and you’re right, even if I turn 18 I still ain’t wearing anything up in my cooch and I only now got the courage to wear tube tops. But some girls come to school in booty shorts and literally a bra that they justify as a crop top. And now I think the reason adults say is to never take your childhood for granted isn’t because they think you’re stupid, it’s because those are the days you can never ever ever get back. So long story short, I agree with you. The teenagers and children today are not the children from 30+ years ago. I miss the cringy days where obsessing over things and wearing cute clothes, or enjoying the things we loved were the only things we had to worry about as children...

[@wolfiebeatstm1062]

And even now on tiktok (which I deleted) there are black moms dressing up their TODDLERS in grown folks clothes, and say that we’re the ones sexualizing them. As well as that toddler fashion thing going on in China, goth loli’s and school girls in Japan, and Kpop. It’s really terrifying.

However , I'm also aware of the fact that Tik Tok is very toxic and you can find such things , with even other toxicity in different communities within that app..

there’s a paper i can’t remember the name of atm, but they talk about how the rise of social media (specifically ig) has lead people (mainly women-identified) down a path of s3xualizing self-surveillance. they specifically called it “p0rn chic” where more provocative + sexual images would lead to more engagement and followers, but also more overt and harmful comments. so then you look at young people growing up on ig, still figuring out their identity and learning that their body rewards them with attention in the form of ig likes/followers. for a little developing child brain, they can’t distinguish positive attention from negative. add caregivers who do not show them healthy attention, and ofc kids are being primed to get an 0nlyf4ns on their 18th birthday. and people say that gays r gr00mers!!?? can young adults (like 18-24) really consent if their life choices have been manufactured by society?

[@tyracole1998]

When it comes to whether or not Twerking is inherently sexual. My thoughts are no, but there is a very sexual way that it can be done and most of the time it's done in a sexual context. For instance, as an african person when I see women In their traditional garments, twerking and winding and hip shaking. I don't see that as sexual. Because I understand the cultural context behind that. But if women are like in a club let's say and Talking I see that as sexual. Because it is specifically done as a expression of sexuality in that context.

[@nuthead8888]

Tbh thank you for putting out this opinion. I was thinking the same thing but since I’m not black it felt like not my place to say, but African culture and African dance is beautiful and spiritual.

[@hafeezahbashir2516]

It's not about whether the woman is wearing African clothing or not. Mating dances are a thing in African tradition where people of a certain age gather to kind of show off how cool and sexy they are (like modern day clubs). Typically the kind of "hip-swaying" or whatever and gestures in those types of settings would be inherently sexual (and definitely didn't involve kids). I think with African traditional dance the context really determines how sexual the movements get and how it's perceived by the audience. But to the Western eye any kind of hip movements would probably just look sexual
