Honestly Eclipse, what was Tyra suppose to say? Infanilisim is not cute, and it's not normal. Nothing about having a sexual desire to go on yourself is in any way appealing, but there is a strong level of understanding that anybody can have... and Tyra Banks tries really hard to put topics out there that are hard to swallow. It doesn't in any way make her a stupid woman. If anything... she's trying real hard to be on the supportive side of making hard to talk about subjects more publically known, so that when an AB or DL decideds to confide in somebody they know... that person can be all "Oh hey, I think I've heard of that somewhere" instead of just out and out thinking that it's effin gross and wierd. Granted, I've always in some way been changing children or adults through child care or home health... I still didn't understand the fettish side of it, and having previous knowledge would have made things a lot easier to handle. It's easy to say that there's tons of websites where you can load up on all the knowledge you need and there's no reason to address such topics in shows, but unless you have a reason or need to be looking this stuff up... you're pretty much blind to it. I think Tyra did a pretty ok job. Not magnificent, but pretty ok.
If you listened closely there was numerous insults she threw at us *b/dl's...two I remember specifically are *Turns around to the audience* "Do yall find this weird? I see it like way beyond weird, like OMG WEIRD!" and also she said to the girl "Well the only thing good about this is if you need diapers whens your older, you wont care!" Those are called PG rated insults, they are insults that a diva would give, because their insults, but not harsh enough be prosecuted for them by her producers and such. Regardless you can tell those are defiantly insults to our community, and she did not mean good saying them, it was obvious by the tone of her voice.
To tell the truth I wish she never had a ab/dl on there, it just made us look stupid. Just as hypnotized showed, that a group of 5 viewers with her took it all by looking at ab/dl's in a very negative way, because Tyra was giving insults and negative vibes, so as you can see every non *b/dl watching that thinks were like crazy now. Despite it being unnormal thats no reason to give us PG rated bashing.
I remember when this aired lol
I saw it in the breakroom at work with 4 or 5 of my employees and then had to listen to them talk about that weird "diaper fetish" all afternoon til I told them it was no one's right to judge anybody and to get back to work. :laugh: Thank goodness I'm in charge, it was very annoying.
Wow I commend you greatly, annoying is an understatement of what it would have done to me. After seeing that dumb diva bia bash us on tv and then have a group of co-workers start bashing us, I might just have pulled my hair out. I am glad you put them in their place though, good job!
Okay, the crowd laughed. Okay, she may have been a little rude. But please allow me to point out that it isn't normal for an adult to want to wear diapers and act like a baby. People do not like that which is not normal - it frightens them, if it is not normal it is different and if it is different it could be dangerous, so are genes say lets assume it is, just to be safe. To be honest, I was expecting far worse based on peoples descriptions of it. Okay, they weren't exactly paragons of good behaviour, but quite acceptable considering they quite possibly haven't heard of this before, and humans tend towards being closed minded. It is nice to wish for better treatment, but unless you go out and look for the most open minded people there are you aren't going to get it.
Okay, it wasn't perfect, but it could have been far worse. I am happy that there are some people who aren't the stereotypical fat 50 year old man who lives it 24/7/365 who feel able to come out and talk about it, and get nothing more then people looking at them and going "okay, that is slightly weird". I know I am not brave enough to do that, and for those people that are brave enough I thank you. You do good things for the community!
I understand that because were very ab-normal people look at us differently, but people seriously need to stop doing that because it will kill the human race one day. It is just as bad as racism, if not the worse.
Yeah I will agree with you on one thing, at least it wasnt a big old fat man like you occasionaly see online. It still was as worse as it could have possibly been with a semi attractive female.
God I gotta take a break from talking about this, it makes me so damn angry!
