I have two babies, and they do not leave the house without pants. We go to daycare, and their peers are wearing pants. Baby pants exist--we have dozens of pairs of them. Why do these people want to look at pantsless babies? It baffles me.

I feel like the diapers being visible is so we automatically think baby instead of toddlers. But it is super weird to display a bunch of pantsless children. It also begs the question: WHEN THE FUCK ARE THEY GETTING THOSE CHANGED?! Cause like thsoe diapers are obviously clean and not stained.

As someone who actually works with young kids and toddlers I’m very irritated at these movies, because these children are clearly NOT babies, definitely not under two years old (I’d estimate them all around 3,5-4 yo); to the point where it’s just in uncanny valley for me to see them crawling around, nonverbal and in diapers 😭

@@vhaakaraynen6578 most kids are definitely potty trained at 4 years old. Most kids are fully potty trained by 36 months aka 3 years old.

[@vhaakaraynen6578]

@@rachelcookie321 Definitely. Heck, only 4 in 10 children wear diapers past age 3. It’s just that some children still wear diapers at 4 or 5 years old for various reasons. Some wear it because they’re incontinent or have weak bladders, or simply because they’re not ready to be potty trained. Potty training is not very linear, which is why I think it’s extremely silly for them to pass off children wearing diapers as babies… because there’s a lot more to a baby than diapers

The director of the Baby Geniuses movies, Bob Clark, was once a truly GREAT low-budget horror movie director. I HIGHLY recommend Black Christmas (74), the FIRST modern slasher movie (Halloween came out 2 years later and borrowed heavily from it.) and his anti-Vietnam horror movie, Death Dream (74), made DURING the Vietnam War, is creepy, sad, and has HUGE balls. He also made the classics Porky's and A Christmas Story.

[@deuceydee3506]

Have you seen A Christmas Story Christmas? I kid you not, that is the actual title, but what's even crazier is that it's actually _really_ good. Like, it's a Masterclass on how to make a proper sequel to a classic movie 👀

The thing that has always made me uncomfortable is they don't put these kids in pants. I think it's enough that we can obviously see they're babies to know they're babies. I guess outfits for babies have never had pants??? Also, there is some...wonderful logic of a baby saying that no one else knows what it's like to be a baby. Mmm, yes. I too missed the epics of being a baby since I was grown in a pod...and exited when I turned 30.

[@pissum420]

Baby clothes at the size those kids are have shorts AND pants and shit, even dresses and skirts They absolutely could’ve clothed the kids. Most likely didn’t due to needing to change diapers quickly and if the kids peed through the diaper the bottoms would be soiled.

technically yes, the CIA does have a “fashion expert”. The Chief of Disguise has to be knowledgeable in a variety of fashion trends and class-based cultures in order to help agents dress appropriately when going undercover.

@@ImaginaryAlchemist That's fair, but here the "fashion expert" was already distinct from the "master of disguise", and, while these reviews aren't comprehensive, the "fashion expert" doesn't appear to have ever actually done or contributed anything in that field? Not that anyone else really did, either, but still. It felt like that whole '90s "we have to shoehorn-in a girl, make her the "fashion" person" faux-representation-but-actually-just-marketing-done-badly thing.
