I agree with your statement about this gross shirt being the consequence of a language barrier. I work with young children who do not speak English at home. I have seen many, many questionable slogans on my students’ clothes over the years. Most of the time they’re just nonsensical, but sometimes they might have cuss words or other inappropriate messaging. The manufacturers and the families have no idea. It’s like how people like to get Chinese writing tattooed because it looks cool, but the meaning gets lost in translation when they don’t speak the language. That being said, it is absolutely TikTok’s responsibility to screen what is being sold on their platform. It isn’t acceptable for TikTok to rely on the consumer to notify them when there are problematic products on their site. I really hope people get tired of TikTok’s crap and stop giving them their money. I wish we could see a shift where people are more thoughtful and intentional about what businesses they choose to support. There are so many wonderful small businesses as well as established quality brands that desperately need customers to stay afloat. Or choose to shop secondhand and save the earth! Just say no to cheap garbage. 🙅🏻‍♀️

KZbin is a social media platform. And it also has plenty of ads for bad/weird products. Each platform has its good and bad, it just depends how you use it (and how good the platform is at moderating content)

Im not on TikTok or IG because I cant support that type of place, so this just confirm my Hate for those apps 🤯🤮

[@poincianab12]

The shop is up but it looks like they took designs down..meanwhile there are small business owners on tiktok that are more reputable...discernment has been my word for 2024 for a reason

[@ragnegjengedal7803]

As an Etsy seller, I heartily agree. Etsy was bought up, and completely changed so there's so much print on demand and stuff that you can find on wish. It's sooo difficult for someone like me who make one of a kind stuff. It's obviously now for people who make a listing and can sell hundreds of that one thing, the entire process is not for one of a kind. To make original stuf with all the time, expense, and energy that takes, take all the pictures and edit, spend a lot of time writing the description and the tags, and everything else, only to see these badly photoshopped things being promoted on the site is depressing.

Absolutely sickening.

Tiktok scares me… Robert is my only means to the tea on tiktok 💕

[@Nightsisters_Clan]

Pretty sure these are leftover Balenciaga t shirts. 😂

[@feelthejoy]

And just think, these shirts are being made by children in sweatshops (who don’t know what they say). The irony.

[@aimeelucia5534]

Years and years ago Cotton On Kids had a similar controversy in Australia!

[@Ditzybaby]

Clocks? Robert you sweet sweet gem of a man 😂

[@elin_]

Who would dress their kids in that 💀 I feel like even though I'm not a parent myself, I'd be a much better parent than so many actual parents out there.

[@seric43]

Clocks. Yep kids love em for sure 😆🖤

[@Gaius_Sinstone]

This is so obviously a case of pumping out items without any thought or understanding. Just like in the US in the 90s there were shirts everywhere with Chinese symbols that meant nothing to consumers but might have (sometimes were) expletives or other inappropriate wording that we just didn’t understand. I don’t think there’s any malicious intent here. Still glad it’s been reported & taken down ofc. It’s gross regardless.

[@Hachiko264]

Remember seeing lots of bad and shady english children shirts in korea. I still remember the ones with cute bambi-like deers and horses, and and "horny pony" written on it 🙈🙈🙈🙈

[@fantasytraveler]

Expensive and Diffiult is giving passive aggressive if gifted , unless the kid bought themselves as a self aware joke to their parents...its bad. The bentover shirt... is an absolute no.

[@Sleipnirseight]

In the words of the great George Takei, "OH MY"

[@shamsal-ani3626]

This absolutely reminds me of that hawk tuah girl and how popular everybody’s made her now!! She’s treated like a legitimate celebrity and talked about when arriving places, with merch and hanging out with big-named celebrities…her 15mins is being soooooo drawn out!! Meanwhile, because she’s EVERYWHERE I’m turning into one of those older ladies who clutches her pearls while horrifyingly asking “But what about the children?? *Will somebody PLEASE think of the children?* “

[@user-dh7cr1fk7l]

I cant handle the midrift tops let alone these its scary!!

[@dinasilva9263]

Robert's accent is one of the most cute and adorable things ever. I think even when he's mad, it still will sound so sweet😂❤

[@DarkResonance]

?? It's just the standard British accent lol

[@dinasilva9263]

@@DarkResonance so what? I like it. Why is that a problem? Lol

[@rhiannonmurphy9034]

This makes me sick to my stomach!!! Protect the children at all costs!

[@carmenguzman669]

This reminds me of a Calvin Kline romper I saw in a department store with the sides cut off showing off the hips. This was made specifically for a toddler. Why would they think that showing off their skin is ok?!

[@hillaryhollenbeck370]

I went into Ulta yesterday to shop and there was a mom with her 2 young 8 year old daughters and they had “bralettes” and the tinniest yoga shorts on I’ve ever seen in a little girl 😶 TRIPLE looked at them and the mom wanting to soooo bad go say something to the mom because I would’ve NEVER let my small daughter walk out of the house like that! 🙄 And to make it worse, the young girls were picking out the Ordinary skincare what they should NOT be putting on there skin! 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@jenn8179]

I have no words 😑 I'm only commenting for the algorithm. Love you, Robert ❤

[@jessileerichy]

So have you ever seen those videos where that guy goes around in China,or Japan and asks people walking around with absolutely terrible American phrases and words on their shirts, and asks them if they know what it means? And not one of them do and when he translates it and they are horrified! I wonder if that is what is happeming to

[@candzbrad]

Not a kid's shirt, but I once saw a Shein ad with a design that said, "I only kneel for Jesus" 🤣🤣🤣

[@KawaiiKermit]

Honestly, this is likely a Chinese seller based in china. It’s true that other countries that aren’t native in English will at least check what these things mean but in Asia, we don’t care 😭 that’s why you’ll see a lot of Asians, especially in china, with off brand things using brand logos but with weird ass mottos/wrong logo design, because they don’t actually check nor care and it’s very much as Robert said; what’s popular and trending is what is going to be produced. They likely know the words individually but have no idea what it means when someone says something as suggestive as “I look better bent over” and like I said, most us Asians in Asia just don’t care enough to check before selling. I feel like it’s ignorance but in such a terrible time and place, ESPECIALLY since they’re aiming these things at KIDS, they should do the bare minimum and use translators before shipping out these low quality things because some of these slogans are pure disgusting

[@Nanner823]

I'm so prude, I would feel uncomfortable with an adult wearing such demeaning things.

[@DMoz13]

What parent would buy this for their child? Inexcusable.

[@StarShine-xb5gg]

A few years ago, a couple donated a bunch of baby clothes to our little boy when he was first born (they were all new) One of the shirts said "cutest tax deduction" Still can't believe that a parent would even think about buying something like that. I used it for cleaning since i didn't want it to go to waste.

[@jessislistless]

Shein advertised similar products to me a couple of weeks ago and I am shocked to think that these were meant for children 😮

[@emoonae]

Using “Expensive and Difficult” to describe a child sounds like an issue created by the parents to me. Does your kid run your life?! Sheesh!

[@nilawarriorprincess]

I love how you give everyone the benefit of doubt. I have tried to learn other languages & know how common sayings don't make sense to new speakers. Just because an English speaker understands how shocking & appalling "I look better bent over" is. Doesn't mean people who understand a bit of English could understand that content. As a teenager & English native I wouldn't have understood the context without my mother being candid enough to spell it out. Learning another language is difficult because of the subtext native speakers take for granted. I always appreciate the way you let me think deeper.

[@melissacoviello2886]

I truly had the same thought.

[@teri2466]

Omg. I googled & found 3 online shops with this t-shirt & hoodies for kids. Red Bubble was one of them. It is kinda third party.

[@marjoriecook7556]

Disgusting. And what parent/guardian would ever consider buying such crap for kids? Ick, ick, ICK
