I’m a male primary teacher and there really is a prejudice about men working in jobs with young kids, and so I am not going to jump on a man working in a dress shop for kids. However, maybe don’t let the guy act out his fetish around the children, yeah…it’s not helping the cause of men who work with children to allow this shit.

Up until a few years ago I had absolutely zero issue whatsoever with men wearing styles of clothing that were traditionally women's. So if men started wearing dresses or skirts, whatever, good for them. If they wanted to wear high heels, I thought they were stupid but that's because I think all high heels are stupid. If they wanted to wear make-up, who cares, men wore make-up in lots of eras. Tbh, for a while around the late 90s, early 00s, I quite liked punk-ish musicians with eye-liner and nail varnish.

But now when I see a man in 'women's' clothing, I just think AGP. Or if it's a very young guy, gender activist, who may have no ill intentions himself but who is unthinkingly making it easier for those who do. Either way I feel distrustful and unwilling to have my child be around them. So I can see how this could also blow back on any and all men who work with children because this shit is making a lot of people rethink what they used to accept and will ultimately swing people back in a more conservative direction. Though if it helps any, my absolute number one favourite teacher was the male teacher I had in the 80s when I was 7. He was truly fantastic. An inspiring teacher who somehow managed to see what all the kids in our class needed on an individual level and did everything he could to make sure everyone got what they needed to learn to the best of their abilities. He was also the school principal but did everything he could to stay in a teaching role for as long as he could. And made sure his school offered as many extracurriculars and special needs assistances as possible at a time those were very rare.

The real crime there is those prices. Fucking hell.

Honestly so long as he has his checks and can work around kids I think it's okay? Weird, but honestly Disney adults are exactly the sort that would want their kid served by this guy. The voice I'm not sure on, it makes me think he's new/not used to to working around kids and is trying to sound 'cute'.

Def not helping the men working with kids thing either, my bf does summer work at a nursery sometimes and honestly the kids adore him. One remembered him from the year before and was really excited to see him again lol. But he rarely gets to work there due to all the extra requirements/things they aren't allowed to do that make it hard budgetwise and it seems like a real shame with how often young kids don't have positive male role models visible to them and how surprised they are at seeing a man in that role.

Yeah was gonna say this seems par for the course for Disney adults to me. The context of this at Disneyland bothers me a lot less even though it's really creepy still, though I'm not of the "princess mentality" and don't really understand that phase young girls go through.

The adults that never grow out of it are the real problem.

Like you can enjoy the films or w/e but Disney adults are a different breed. That's not even getting into the insanity of how some of them are about kids being there? Hello it's Disney, it's for kids. Don't be mad they got to meet the random in a costume first. They make it their everything and genuinely it's...unsettling? how fanatical they are. There's this pushiness to a lot of them too where they seem to think everyone likes Disney as much as they do and it's all they talk about. I can totally see them wanting their kid to have the 'princess experience' whether the kid wants to or not.

It's like they watched Peter Pan and thought "wow never never land looks great!" And they never left.

The voices… I really viscerally dislike the “man trying to do a woman’s voice” tone. It just sets me in edge and makes me wary around people who use it.

Seems like a logical extension of the fantasy world he's living in. I do question how much porn he consumes.

You don't see the 'kill it with fire" meme around anymore, do you?

The fact that this stuff is getting publicized is creating a self amplification. These people get off on being as annoying and weird as possible. Attention gets called to it which only drags more of them out of the woodwork because they see how much people are being forced to deal with it.

"Daddy, what Disney character is that?"

"Groomer."
