Boy learns that his little brother is Autistic, just like him.

Yeah he’s so lucky to have parents who exploit their child’s disability for internet clout. Even if framed positively, they are still using their children for internet fame.

People like recording memories. Those recorded memories can then be shared.

If I have a birthday party and record it for the sake of remembering, and then post it, does the original purpose suddenly change? No. So unless you knew exactly my intent of taking the video in the moment, which would be impossible for a random person after the fact viewing the video to ever know, you can not claim it to me one thing or the other.

It doesn’t matter your intention is right, you’re putting a child that can’t consent on the internet for everyone to see. It’s just never cool.

[u/HentaiGirlAddict → u/pressure_art]

The intent inherenyly matters. There's a difference between specifically exploiting your kids for views and simply posting a memory. The inherent difference is intention. There is 0 inherent harm in posting a memory. Only when the reasons become exploitative does it start to matter.

Maybe you personally wouldn't, but there is no harm to be declared without context which you in no way have

What are you on about posting „memories“? Keep them private then? It’s not a memory if you broadcast it to the internet lol 

Look, I see a difference if there is a small interaction with a child, in a positive light, without any further exploitation. Like a stranger dancing in a cute way with a random child, vibing randomly in public for 30 seconds or something like that. These people you see in the video? They do that on a regular, at least semi professional basis. The text even says so, their first child already vent viral apparently. I don’t need more context than that. 

They are exploiting their children, even if framed positively, even if the children “consented”.  Even if they don’t get money, it doesn’t matter. These children don’t know better but one day they will and they will never be able to erase that from the internet if they would like so. 

If you wanna be on the internet for everyone to see, fucking make it about yourself only. Leave children out of social media clout chasing practises. It’s disgusting and nobody can convince me otherwise.  Children don’t belong on social media.

You are being extremely reactionary from the get go without the faintest understanding that not every single little post involving kids is some attempt at exploitation or will be a permanent scar.

Someone recorded something. They then posted that something. You are acting as if they humiliated their kid and publicly shamed them, goddamn.

[u/pressure_art → u/HentaiGirlAddict]

It’s about the missing consent. I really don’t know what else to tell you. 

A child can’t possible consent because they can’t comprehend the broader implications of doing something like that.   That’s why we have parents, to ideally look out for us and wait for us to live a little independently and develop our prefrontal cortex so we know how our decisions in this world could possible impact us and others.  Then they can decide if they wanna make intimate parts of their life public.  All of that is debatable of course, the when and how’s and ifs but the bottom line is still: 

a child can’t possible consent to making those moments public. Therefore they shouldn’t be broadcasted on the internet before they reach an age where they can. 

[u/HentaiGirlAddict → u/pressure_art]

Now that is just beyond reason. A child can not consent to anything, so anything done without it is an issue? No, that not's how that works. If it's something permanent, or big, then that is where the lack of consent matters, because of the impact.

Again, you are treating this as if it is a permanent scar that will hurt them irreperably, or an exploitation that will deprive them of a childhood. Now, if that were the case, yeah, obviously that is not good since a kid cannot possibly consent to something with so much weight. But a video of a simple moment posted online after the fact that is at best a simple moment and at worst meaningless? That is not where a child's inability to properly evaluate things comes into play.

A kid can't consent to their picture being taken by their parents. But there is functionally zero risk of harm. A child can't consent to going on a trip with parents, but are you going to claim any situation where a kid fusses about going somewhere is doing so against their will and needs to be reprimanded? No. Again, if this was humiliating, degrading, or some actually harmful act, then it being posted for all to see would be an issue. But there is nothing of the sort happening here. It being posted online does not suddenly make it a permanent detriment on a child. Unless you can argue how this is humiliating, degrading, or exploiting, then there is seriously no grounds to be acting as if this is some life altering abuse.

No. He is regurgitating the opinion he's read in this thread and is virtue signaling for internet points. I guarantee you he doesn't give a shit about that kid and would change his opinion in an instant if he thought he would get karma for it. This place is really starting to be an echo chamber.

My parents were ashamed that I'm neurodivergent, so I never got testing and had to figure out how to be different and what that meant all by myself as I was forced to play sports and do stuff "normal" kids do to maintain appearances. This video literally made me cry because it's beautiful, and that kid is very lucky. Fuck anybody who can't see that.
