YouTube Pedophiles

yea I have viewed youtube in this way a few times before. there's a lot of channels that have teenage girls dressing up or showing themselves off.

What do you guys mean by 'channels'? All I know is you type in a search word (e.g. 'yachting', 'fishing', 'tapir-themed wedding') and up come some videos. Related videos feature on the right. What's a channel?

^ its just like their home page on youtube. it will be addressed something like;
http://www.youtube.com/user/
and then it will have their username afterwards. from there you can look through all their uploads.

Aha, the uploaders themselves. I thought it was like where a certain user favourites certain videos.

I think what it is and the way it works is each channel can contain user generated playlists. these are organised in the user controls as; uploaded videos, liked videos, favourite videos. as a member a person gets controls to add a video they watch to their playlists on their channel, so by liking a video that gets stored as list data in their liked videos, same for marking a viewed video as a favourite. there are also controls to select what playlists visitors can see on their channel when its viewed.

I agree with the guy who called the whole thing surreal. This sort of thing where children in western countries living in secure enviroments can get openly and blatantly sexually objectified (right out in the open for the whole world to see) has never existed before

Ive flagged some of it, but there is so much of it that its really pointless and at some point beyond outrage lies disbelief and a fascination with the lurid spectacle of it all

I'm guessing these things together are not a coincidence: "secure" & "sexual".

When we are feeling secure, we can risk being openly sexual... while when we feel tense and afraid, we don't feel too sexy --

I found a catalogue today for a children's fashion brand. The website for the company concerned features children (prepubescent) involved in a fashion show. It's no less outlandish and gaudy and freakishly pseudo-erotic than any other fashion show. I think the word 'sexualised' is bandied about too readily the moment a child's legs are visible; that in itself says more about the anxieties of adults than it does of the way in which the children are being displayed. Here there were erotic undertones, but this was more a matter of interpretation. And that's what I think this is all about. Without wanting to get too political, that's where capitalism takes us. What sells is sex and imagery of ideal beauty, with these being inevitable correlates due to the fact that beauty is being perceived through our (post-pubescent) eyes. We are sold the image of the ideal child, the son/daughter we want to have - beautiful, opulent, captivating. They are presented in such a way that they appeal directly to our sense of the beautiful, but there's no getting past the fact that we cannot help but judge them and to varying degrees appreciate them on a sexual level - and we (as a society) feel uncomfortable about this. They're supposed to arouse envy, but instead they threaten to titillate (the mixed upshot being akin to 'don't you wish your daughter was hot like mine'). The voice that cries 'they're being sexualised - cover everything up and skin anyone who looks twice alive' is merely an expression of guilt (at the necessity of sexualising children) and unease (at the fact that they are enticing, or that their appeal, or potentiality thereof, has been foregrounded by the way we render them subjects of consumerism).

The trouble is, the furore is misdirected. Paedophiles are going to exist whether you stick children in gaudy costumes or not. And what's more, I for one don't get off to girls in silly dance costumes. I watched a programme on the phenomenon of girls in dancing competitions - freaky! - and the only bit where I found them really sexy was when they were in normal clothes behaving like normal 9-year-old girls without make-up and before the dreaded fake tan was applied.

That's a bit too extemporaneous a post, but I'm in a rush!

Some of the girls are a bit sexy to me for sure. Most of these sort of vids are cute and funny; however there are also some that are very political these days as the hypersexualization of very young girls/the rediscovery of the precoucious girl are big social change issues today.

I'm the same way, but I hardly ever posts comments where the girl can see them. Right now I'm almost obsessed with this girl that goes by the name "alygymnast11". I watch her videos all of the time and I did send her a nice email to her just telling her how much I love her videos. She did respond about a week later thanking me for the message and to watch out for more videos of her.

^dude what she's not even that feminine/cute. lol we have different tastes This is what I call perfection:haleylovescheer
So cute.

I never post sexual comments. Everyone is right it just scares them off. Also may lead to them deleting their vids so u can't watch them again later (although very rarely it does egg them on, leading to more content, i've never done this but i've seen it happen). The most viewed by does show how many males are interested, interesting.

Funny thing is one guy called this girl hot and then got called a child molester, i went to his channel and he was only the same age as the girl lol.

like to watch these vids sometimes. For example 'sevencooltweens'

There are so many of those "seven - cool, funtasic, amazing - girls" channels. I wonder if they're specifically aimed at the people who will be sexually aroused by it. I can't find any other reason why adults would make all these vids of these girls otherwise. Even though there is nothing sexual about the videos. regardless I never found them to be much of a turn on.
