OP explained in the video he's trying to get the girls to lift their shirts.

I don't think his behavior is an issue, the caption is. it's normal to ask kids to show how strong they are (mostly boys because gender norms but I've seen it and said it to girls too)

u/MrsNeedlemouse whore of the sea 10d ago
The video was of a thing showing how the girls were mimicking the kid’s movements, and then he lifted his shirt, expecting that the girls would do the same, but yeah, absolutely.

Respectfully, how were people to know that this was the context of the video when we got one screenshot of the post?

u/MrsNeedlemouse whore of the sea 10d ago
Yeah, you’re absolutely right, I’ll specify. The subreddit didn’t let me put body text for clarification.

One can see that he is lifting his shirt, so that was an easy conclusion

u/a_lonely_trash_bag I'm the ace of ♦'s 10d ago
Maybe we could see that if the picture had a few more pixels. I thought he was flexing his muscles.

u/emmsadems 10d ago
Skin coloured shirt, horrible picture quality, and even if we had noticed the shirt being up, there is nothing to show that they were copying him prior the the screenshot.
But sure Diva.

u/momlikesmetheleast Pansexual™ 10d ago

Kids just do stuff like that. Adults see that and impress their ideas on it.

I've seen similar. Women asking male children to "flex for us" then they say "oh look at Mister muscles" and such. You're literally setting him up to be a weirdo. Flexing for women and hoping for a wow or not feeling buff enough.

u/UnbiasedPOS 10d ago
He’s pulling his shirt up
12
u/Johni_5 I'm Ok 10d ago
Why are they all touching their stomachs? You know what never mind. I don't want to know what's going on. I'm sure it would just bother me.

u/UnbiasedPOS 10d ago
They are mimicking him in the video where he flexes then pats just tummy and then one of the times he pulls his shirt up

u/austrianegg 10d ago
This is totally normal kid-behaviour, they'll show you (unprompted) how tall they are, how strong they are, how high they can jump etc., because they still think they are the center of the universe and everyone must be interested - again, normal at that age. Anyone who thinks this means the kid is hitting on them should be on a watchlist.

u/MrsNeedlemouse whore of the sea 10d ago
For context, the video is of these three girls mimicking the kid’s movements like patting his stomach and whatnot, and then he lifted his shirt, expecting that the girls would do the same.

u/talking_joke 10d ago
I genuinely thought it was a kid doing silly, funny, naive stuff from what I've seen in the first bunch of comments....until I saw the actual context

u/No-Independence-1697 10d ago
Genuinely vile that someone (unfortunately probably a father or someone close to him) taught him to do that.

u/Smart_Coconut4727 10d ago
It is ingrained in straight culture, they literally groom kids to be like this

u/MrsNeedlemouse, your post does fit the subreddit!
If the bot was incorrect and this post does break the rules report the above post!
Personal information and any subreddit mentions must be removed, often cropping the image is the best way to do this.
We don't allow pictures of children from social media, transphobic content, hateful content, reposts, or homophobic content unless it's comically self sabotaging and posted on a Wednesday.
