re: #1 Stanley Sea

I’m tending to think algorithm rather than thinking human being. To me that photo screams with honest emotional content. Love of the father. With love of mom the strongest best emotions humanity has. Cause to celebrate not look away. Not be afraid or embarrassed.

It’s not the photo. It’s the people viewing it. If your mind sees an image that seems to be disturbing to you, I feel sorry for your children and the people around you. You are unable to see love and compassion. It’s a father and son. 90% of the worlds problems must be sexual. If not more.

I chose unsure. I want to say no because it’s a very tender photo, but the nature of the internet is such that… the trolls, the pedophiles & other perverts… If I had a young child—or a child of any age under 18 I would never in a million years expose their photo to the cesspool that is the internet, especially one like that which could be easily altered by creeps and… I don’t even want to think about it.

Yeah. I don’t think it should be banned and so voted, but I wouldn’t post something so intimate on random social media. But that’s just me.

I hear ya. I was afraid to have it as the meta image just in case. OTOH with the hard lessons learned from Mapplethorpe to something like shown below, I wound up with the other conclusion.

Art, always a thinkers proposition.

It could bite me badly someday but my attitude is damn the trolls full speed ahead.

I accidentally hit the no button. My problem with this is the backstory you quoted. Why are they in the shower trying to bring down the fever instead of a hospital? If you have a one year old with a fever like that you don’t screw around in the shower. Ooh, let’s pose for a picture. It will be soooo meaningful.

Good point. I thought it was a lovely photo until you brought this up, then I remembered the time my son came down with a stomach flu and we rushed him to the hospital where he received IV fluids for 2 days because he was so dehydrated, and staying in the shower won’t help with that.

re: #9 The Vicious Babushka

Seems there is little cause to suspect neglect like that. I would think it more likely this was not such an extreme case as in no visible reason to think dad would hesitate to go to the hospital if called for.
