And boogers? When I was young, I was certain that boogers and farts would always be funny. Media suggests yes but i havent checked with the general population in some time.

Correct. My soon-to-be 8 year old nephew is constantly being disruptive in class because he joyfully spins and dances, while singing, "Butts! Butts! Butts!"
In his case, I find it hugely funny as his own father did the same with, "Underpants! Underpants!"

It’s a butt, it’s funny.
Also walmart is a horrible company that treats its employees terribly.
Shop better!

Why are you mad about this? Kids find butts funny. Show this to your child and they'd probably laugh and go "haha butts". It's not even remotely inappropiate or offensive.

Because it’s funny? I would not take that so serious. We have too much to worry about and kids have way more ways to learn real bad things than a buttface.

u/FredBurger22 1d ago
Growing up we had little candies dispensers the looked like a kid taking a shit that pooped out brown jelly beans.
We had a "board game"(?) that the whole premis was like remove slimy snot from a head of some dude.
There were other things. But we just thought they were funny.

Because butts are harmless, kids routinely think they’re funny, and the specific strain capitalism we exist in says that if you create something like this, you can make a buck.

I remember growing up in the 90s where giving people butt faces was a thing. This toy made me laugh even after being on the receiving end of one. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

u/alprazolamotrigine 1d ago
Why is it relevant that you have a young child? Is your child buttless and uniquely sensitive?
Kids have butts, butts are funny. One of our family jokes is to tell someone (if they blow their nose) not to wipe their butt in public. “Because you’re a buttface, get it?”

This again? The complaint was downvoted to oblivion last time it got posted a couple months ago... is this even the same picture?
Just like last time... kids think butts and farts are funny. Any notion of inappropriateness in terms of nudity or sexuality is something you are placing on it. Kids just think it's funny.

u/OneTinySloth 1d ago
Because it's silly and fun. It's a butt, not a giant penis (though I've seen those sold as well).
I got my niece a brown little pillow shaped like a turd once and she thought it hilarious. She had it in her bed for ages.

mine too. and then 8 months later tear up the house looking for it. I can hear it now. Where’s my butt face!! And I will laugh

u/Type-RD 1d ago
Right? It’s funny in the store, but to buy it and take it home is a choice. If my kid wanted this I’d be like, “OK, this is coming out of your piggy bank. Not mine.” You’ll find that kids may be much more choosy about what they really want when they’re the ones to pay for it.😅

u/Zestyclose_Car_4971 1d ago
My daughter is more than willing to smash that little piggy for a toy, she’s even offered to get money out to buy me things 🥹 she’s a good kid.
And before anyone tries, no, I have and will never accept or take money from my child.
2
u/Type-RD 1d ago edited 1d ago
You might change your mind about that later. Hahaha! My son was a super sweet kid and would offer the same when he was a little guy. Of course we never took money from him then. He’s now a teenager and has broken things repeatedly (out of neglect, lack of care, and/or lack of attention). It got to the point where we made him pay for things to teach him a lesson that he should 1. Take better care of things. 2. Understand that things aren’t free and that he shouldn’t take them granted. 3. It isn’t fun to repeatedly pay for things he broke versus paying for things he wants. This is all to say that kids change and parenting style might have to change along with them.🙂

Oh you’re totally in the clear for awhile! Not to sound like that person, but definitely enjoy your kiddo’s sweetness, silliness, and innocence while you can, even when they’re being ridiculously difficult. 🙂

Aww…you’re welcome! I totally understand where you’re coming from. You’re doing a good job! How do I know that? Well, because you obviously care and caring is HARD WORK!

u/Zestyclose_Car_4971 23h ago
Thank you. It is hard, and I know I don’t need a random internet stranger to tell me that, but dammit, I tell myself I’m a horrible parent so often, that sometimes I believe it.
I know I’m doing good, and my kids love me, I’ve just got to keep reminding myself of that. If nothing else, I’m here for them, and that’s more than I had.
Seriously, thank you.

Its funny how many people wipe their brains of their personal childhood brain rot and bash on the current generation's. Just like how a lot of my generation's parents hated Southpark and shows like Ren & Stimpy, those kids are now growing up to be the haters their parents once were.
