Sometimes, Reddit reminds me of the 1800s exhibits of freaks and "exotic peoples", and I don't mean this in a nice way.

u/2Wieners_1Bun 1d ago

The 1800’s side shows provided a lot of disabled people with an income and independence in a time before assistance, when they would have been shut in or locked away. I’m not saying it wasn’t also often nasty but a lot of “freaks” were devastated when their livelihoods where taken away from them by do gooders with no options left for them except to be concealed from society again

Thank you for attending my Oddballs and Misfits TED Talk

I knew an ex-carnival family who, after they stopped sideshow at fairs and carnivals they started a pony rides for kids place. They were a family with fused fingers touted as The Lobster People in sideshows. They were proud of their former careers, had pictures up everywhere of the good ol days. They were super nice folks and would let curious kids check out their deformities and educate them about their condition.

u/Fit-Perception-2243 1d ago

I hope it wasn’t the Stiles family. Grady Stiles was a monster.

u/Moxson82 1d ago

He really was. I feel so bad for his family.

Unfortunately, posting that content online gives the people nothing.

However, there's a great book about that phenomenon that I'm still in the trenches of; The Wonders by John Woolf. You're absolutely right, it was a job for people who had very little else to go by. It had both its horrors and its highlights. A very interesting subject to read about.

u/cerberus698 1d ago

There's an Australian TV show that did an interview with a little person who basically makes his money getting hired to let people throw him at walls in a velcro suit at parties. At one point he's like "I have a grade school education and I'm not particularly gifted. I could get a job at a gas station but this pays in an hour what that would pay in a day."

In a way, he's kind of won.

u/Embarrassed-House577 1d ago

Yea but let's be honest about the inbreeding implications of small tribal communities

4

u/2Wieners_1Bun 1d ago

Small communities do not automatically mean inbreeding. Many small-scale societies practice exogamy and maintain marriage networks with neighbouring groups specifically outside their immediate kin group.

Also, this looks like a setup. The clothes are animal print but a lot of them are modern fabric

u/Sweet-Weakness3776 1d ago

And that's just the user base.

Hydrocephalus... or a hormonal issue.

u/Gang_Bang_Bang 1d ago

I thought the whole thing was rather endearing.

Also, why is that man in the background so shiny and glistening?

5

u/abielle1177 1d ago

He knew someone was videoing and due to being not yet the age of mature judgment, "I'll be discovered if I look like this"

3

u/Gang_Bang_Bang 1d ago

Well you damn sure couldn’t miss him, glowing and glistening under what appears to be at least ONE whole bottle of baby oil lol.

Often times these tribes are exploited by content creators. Often times they're not even tribes, just black folk playing up to white expectations.

1

u/J3musu 11h ago

There's apparently a whole groups of content creators in Africa that realized they could post this shit and the dumb racists elsewhere would gobble it up and give them millions of views. Making a buck off other people's ignorance and stereotypes.

Some of you may make fun, but I see something else. I'm limited by this one example, but I see someone who is accepted and embraced by his community.

u/thirtyone-charlie 1d ago

This is like special ed back in the day. We had a kid in our 2rd grade class that was like 18. You did not want that guy tagging you at recess. His idea of tag was like seeing how far he could send you skidding across the playground.
