The Adultification of Little Girls Epidemic

[00:00:00]The weird obsession with dressing kids like adults. This is the kind of title that nightmares are made of. Video by Ukrainian squirrel. Interesting name.

[00:00:13]She definitely looks like a like a squirrel. Okay. I mean, look, she called herself that man. That's not that's not fair to me. She looks like a Ukrainian squirrel if if if it was like in All right, let's just watch.

[00:00:26]>> Have you noticed that children don't look like children anymore? And I don't mean, oh no, children are wearing jeans instead of Victorian night gowns. I mean, actual toddlers are being dressed like they're 24y old influencers.

[00:00:39]>> 24 year old. Oh, she's so Eastern European. I love it.

[00:00:44]>> Mini skirts, tiny crop tops, offshoulder blouses, oversized jeans dragging on the floor.

[00:00:50]>> Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This right here, >> crop tops off shoulder blouses.

[00:00:55]>> This is This is insane.

[00:00:58]This is insane. This little girl is fresh. This is just swag. What are we talking about here?

[00:01:05]>> Insane sunglasses.

[00:01:07]>> The top. The crop top on the four-year-old is insane >> about this bizarre growing trend of parents dressing their kids like miniature adults. It's uncomfortable.

[00:01:16]It's unsafe. And honestly, it's getting creepy.

[00:01:20]>> Definitely. Definitely.

[00:01:23]This is AI. I don't even believe this is real.

[00:01:27]Who is doing this?

[00:01:30]Oh my god, man.

[00:01:31]>> Why are we dressing children like adults? Why do we need a four-year-old to look like she's going to a Miami beach club? Why does a toddler need a bodycon dress hoop?

[00:01:41]>> That's insane.

[00:01:42]>> Earrings.

[00:01:43]>> This whole fit is it nah gang. What are we doing?

[00:01:46]>> Offshoulder top.

[00:01:49][music] >> What are we doing? What are we doing?

[00:01:53]There is a huge difference between a child dressing up and a parent styling their kid for content. And we need to talk about the difference because so many of those outfits are not for the child. They're for the parent. They're for the video. They're for the money. A child does not wake up and think, "You know what? My wardrobe is missing.

[00:02:14]>> A neutral toned trench coat."

[00:02:17]>> Yeah. I mean that ain't the worst thing in the world but >> but you know what there is a point you know there is something though that can be said so far the only fit that I haven't really had a problem with is the baggy stuff and I think even though because it is grown up it is very baggy when you really think about it there are many cultures where children are dressed exactly like the adults in fact that's how things were for a long peri perod of time, right? You would take uh you know, you got a little your son taking him to church. He's a toddler. He's got on his own little mini church suit. You know what I'm saying? Like you can just find old pictures where it that was just the way it was for a long time. And in many other cultures, that's the way it is today. So, I don't think it's like a a crime to do that. It's the the message that is clearly being sent with the type of adult clothing that is being put on these children. It's given club fit and that's clearly what's the problem. I mean, she's in boots, guys. And you know the kind of boots, the boots that your girl puts on when she wants to feel sexy. These are the kind of boots they're putting on this girl, which is insane. YSL. Why? They don't. Does YSL even make this children's [ __ ] >> And a tiny Louis Vuitton inspired bag.

[00:03:45]>> Louis Vuitton store.

[00:03:46]>> In my experience, children want color and their favorite cartoon characters.

[00:03:51]There are entire accounts with millions of followers dedicated solely to kids trying on outfits. The parents are acting like literal puppeteers, cheating their >> Yeah. And that's a that's I was so distracted by the absurdity of the outfits that I didn't even portion a part of my outrage for the fact that these are people exploiting their children for clout online. These are people that are making content out of their children with that which that in of itself I think is diabolical.

[00:04:25]>> Breathing children like Barbie dolls.

[00:04:28]Look at this. Look at this outfit. If you block out the face, you would never guess this is a four-year-old child.

[00:04:37]>> This is insane, man.

[00:04:41]>> This is an outfit a grown woman can wear on her vacation in Vegas. I genuinely despise those accounts because they're built entirely around child exploitation. And it's not just about the club.

[00:04:54]>> Yeah. Once the predators find these profiles, man, it's over. It's the behavior they are forcing on them.

[00:05:02]>> Oh yeah, having them pose like that. Oh no, that's too much. What the [ __ ] Yeah, that's crazy.

[00:05:10]>> Look at this moves. What are those poses?

[00:05:13]>> Right. Right. And putting it on the internet. Look, listen. I got two daughters, right? I don't know where the [ __ ] they learned this [ __ ] because [ __ ] my daughter, she'll be hitting some pose every now and again like doing all this [ __ ] and be like where I don't know what I don't know you ain't learn that [ __ ] from your mama like your mom ain't doing that you know what I'm saying you're not watching we rarely have TV on but if we do it's like Miss Rachel you know what I mean it's [ __ ] maybe a Disney movie Frozen so I don't know children know they pick up on things. So, she had to have seen it somewhere or I don't know, maybe it's [ __ ] genetic. Maybe it's innate inside of girls to, you know, pose in these girly fashions. Fact is though, the thing is though, it's one thing if they do it in the privacy of your home, right?

[00:06:12]Just being a cute little girl. It's another thing to dress them up like this and then put them online for content.

[00:06:18]It's insane.

[00:06:21][music] >> Like that is wild.

[00:06:24]>> That's ins That's insane.

[00:06:26]>> I've never in my life seen an actor that [ __ ] is insane naturally behave like this. They're being coached behind the camera to act like mini influence. And don't get me started on the audio tracks. Sometimes you see this. These are little girls that are watching [ __ ] music videos, rap music videos, pop star music videos, >> of little kids, and the song in the background is about drugs, sex, relationships, being desired, etc. >> Who's the cute boy?

[00:06:57]>> Oh, nah. Make sure this [ __ ] you I might got to blur the whole thing. [screaming] I might got to BLUR THE WHOLE THING.

[00:07:06]You're not seeing any body part, but bro, the dress is so the dress is so provocative.

[00:07:15]And when you look at the print, I don't know what demon put this [ __ ] together.

[00:07:20]It's literally cartoon characters. The fact that they took these characters and put it put them on a dress that look like this with the high socks. This This girl can't be older than 5 years old, bro. She cannot. This is insane. All right, >> I'm gonna translate the lyrics in this video for you since they're not in English. The lyrics are literally, "Oh, Kitty, there's no one like you. Everyone wants you, but you're so tired.

[00:07:50]You like my vibe and you like my >> What in the Jeffrey Epstein Tik Tok is this?

[00:07:57]>> Nature. Take me away and light up a Malber cigarette."

[00:08:03]And the parents chose that song. They listened to that song and decided, "Yep, that's totally appropriate and acceptable for my toddler."

[00:08:11]>> Hamping your toddler is crazy.

[00:08:13]>> No comments. I have no words. Oh, look at this one. The mom is showing off how she dressed her daughter. The outfit looks like it belongs to a college student ready to hit the fret part. But then she shows what her daughter actually chose for herself.

[00:08:28]>> A princess dress. And everybody is supposed to what? laugh like, "Haha, [laughter] your daughter doesn't have a style." No, it's just your kid has more sense than you, >> right? Yeah. That's insane. Your daughter is actually dressing herself in an age appropriate fashion.

[00:08:44]>> Dressed herself age appropriately because she is the age she is. She wants sparkles. She wants princesses. She wants unicorns. She wants a dress that spins when she twirls, >> right? Yep.

[00:08:59]This is wild, man.

[00:09:02]Yeah. What kind of sick [ __ ] [ __ ] is this, man? [music] >> It is hilarious to me how a 5-year-old child has more brains, logic, and reason than her adult parents. Insane.

[00:09:18]>> Where are they even getting these clothes? That's my Are they having them made?

[00:09:23]>> Where are they buying these clothes?

[00:09:24]Where are they buying a body for a body spandex fit for a baby that's still in diapers? Bro, >> the baby is literally drinking out of a bottle.

[00:09:36]>> Who is still drinking baby formula and does not yet have a fully formed balance in her feet need a sparkly luxury bag.

[00:09:44]What is she putting in there? a spare pacifier and dirty >> brain brainwashing your children in hypersexualization and consumerism is wild >> it's ridiculous >> I remember growing up in a time where parents did everything they could to shield their children from this kind of [ __ ] now parents are putting it forcing it on their children recording them and putting them on the internet for Tik Tok clout out. [music] >> Wow, man.

[00:10:20]>> But here's the sad part. This online madness is bleeding into a real life now. 7 year olds are bullying other sevenyear-olds at school for wearing dresses with Disney princesses on them because apparently Ela is very lame now.

[00:10:35]And you're supposed to wear adult neutral colored clothes to a second grade.

[00:10:40]>> The other day my daughter came home from school. She's seven and she said that some of the girls at school told her that she's too old to wear a dress with princesses on it. I just gotten her this like dress at Walmart. It was so cute and it was like all the all the princesses all their faces on a cotton dress, >> right? Yeah.

[00:10:57]>> And um [sighs] >> Seven is kind of big for that [ __ ] though. I ain't going to lie to you.

[00:11:02]Seven is kind of big to be going to school in the Walmart Elsa princess dress. It's not [ __ ] Halloween. Okay, it's not Halloween. That's kind of crazy.

[00:11:11]>> First of all, it's just really >> seven. That's like the second grade, bro. That's a little wild.

[00:11:16]>> Sad that like girls even think they're too old at seven to wear something like this. Like why why was that little girl thinking inside when she shared that with my daughter? Like does she really think that at seven she >> Well, you know what it is? That other little girl has a parent that told her when she wanted to go to school wearing the Elsa Princess dress, saying, "Baby, you're too big for that now. Come on.

[00:11:40]you got to wear your big girl clothes.

[00:11:42]And then she saw your daughter at school and so she decided to to you know what I mean? Pass the message along. Um I don't know. I don't know if I'm with you on this one, mama. I don't know if I'm with you.

[00:11:54]>> Over princesses. Like we're actively stripping away the joy of childhood. And whenever you point this out, the parents who dress their kids like adults love to turn it back on you. They say, "Oh, you're the ones making this weird."

[00:12:07]Baby, you chose a backless dress for your toddler.

[00:12:11]>> A backless dress is wild. Crazy work.

[00:12:15]>> You thought your kid should be wearing a crop top.

[00:12:18]>> Bro, I went to a school, right? When I was going to grade school, we wore uniform and the girls were not allowed to have dresses that pass the middle of their shin, bro. Like if the dress hit your knee, if you if you if we could see your kneecaps, the dress was too short.

[00:12:39]It was considered inappropriate. These were girls in their early teens, by the way. Early teens, this was the standard.

[00:12:48]You literally have what appears to be a 5-year-old in a backless like I don't even know what you call that dress. And that [ __ ] is all the way up into the middle of her thigh.

[00:13:02]What is happening right now?

[00:13:04]>> You picked a song. You picked a pose.

[00:13:07]You edited the video. You posted it online for strangers. So, between the two of us, who is actually strange here?

[00:13:15]They say predators don't care what kids are wearing. And that is 100% true.

[00:13:20]Predators do not care. A piece of clothing will not change their twisted minds. Children are never responsible for the way adults look at them. Never.

[00:13:30]But that doesn't answer the question, though. The question is, why are parents choosing revealing adult clothes?

[00:13:37]>> Here's the thing, though. Predators might not care what children are wearing, meaning they're sick [ __ ] freaks that are attracted to children.

[00:13:45]So, there's already they're already [ __ ] But predators do target children that they believe are not protected, right? They say if a predator goes to a park and they see involved vigilant parents, they are highly unlikely to target that child. As opposed to one parent, maybe the mom, right? Could even be the dad, but let's say it's just a single mom. She's on her phone scrolling through Tik Toks, not even paying attention to where her kid is going. As opposed to over here, you got a, you know, different setup. who parents dad is like this talking to his daughter. No one's on their phone. Which one do you think the predator is going to target? Right? And look, same thing could happen for a single dad. I'm not trying to make single moms single them out and make them seem like they're, you know, bad parents or anything inherently.

[00:14:42]Point is, what kind of a parent are you telling the world you are when you dress your children like this? How concerned are you really for their safety?

[00:14:54]Think about that >> outfits for their children in the first place. Why do you want to look at your three-year-old in a bikini? Why is it an aesthetic you are actively chasing? And honestly, what bothers me the most, not even the fact that the outfits look too adult. It's that so many of them don't even look comfortable. You cannot tell me with a straight face that a toddler feels free, comfortable, and unbothered in a Steve pleather jacket or heavy oversized denim. We have literally seen grown as adults tripping, stumbling, and fighting for their lives in Zara pants because they were too wide.

[00:15:36][laughter] >> Oh wow.

[00:15:39]>> Now, y'all just uncoordinated. I got wide ass [ __ ] pants. I ain't never tripped over myself >> with fully developed motor skills and spatial awareness. Now imagine putting those exact same poorly fitted long ass clothes on a kid whose coordination is still loading. They're going to trip.

[00:15:58]They're going to face plant. They're going to injure themselves. Kids are supposed to run. They're supposed to climb trees, roll in the dirt, and explore this world. Are they just supposed to sit like a decorative rock in this clothes so they don't, God forbid, ruin the aesthetic?

[00:16:14]>> Oh my god, man. This is a single mother in training. I'm just being honest, bro.

[00:16:21]I'm just being honest.

[00:16:22]>> I'm sure that this kid would be so >> She too grown. You raising him too grown, man. Like I'm not for like this, you know, crazy purity culture or being delusional, right? your kids as they get older and they become teenagers, they're going to have boyfriends and girlfriends, right? But there is like an innocent like young, you know, person like going from childhood to adulthood way for them to navigate that and then there's this like overly grown way. And I always see it as like a heartbreaking thing, an unfortunate thing when especially a girl, but even boys, they get wrapped up in having sex way too young. And they often times they look back and think to themselves, I was way too young to go through that. Right? But but sometimes that's going to happen.

[00:17:22]You can't control how everything goes in life. But you're not [ __ ] helping when this is how you start dressing them when they're five. You know what I mean?

[00:17:31]If this is how she's dressing at five, how is she gonna be dressing when she just starts going through puberty? You know what I mean?

[00:17:39]>> Much more comfortable without the need to hold a purse or wear those gigantic plastic glasses. Can we go back to when clothes actually carried a purpose? It should be function over form. Period.

[00:17:53]When you're a toddler, your main job is staying upright. Small kids literally need their hands completely free so they can hold on to the safety railing, not occupied by a useless accessory.

[00:18:07]Bro, it's all women doing this [ __ ] too. I can't lie to you, bro. A not a single father is dressing their daughters up like this, bro. Not a single father is dressing their daughters up like a like city girls.

[00:18:20]It's not happening, bro. You know it's you know I'm right. Not a single dad putting this fit on a little girl like this. Bro, it's not happening.

[00:18:29][music] >> They're wearing massive blocky sunglasses made out of cheap plastic probably that restrict their peripheral vision and distract them from, you know, not tripping. You are actively handicapping your kid's motor skills for an Instagram photo. Talk about a piece of clothing that completely fails the function over form test.

[00:18:52]Strapless tube tops. Personally, I hate wearing tube tops. For me, as an adult woman, it's a nightmare. You're constantly pulling it up, adjusting it, and praying to the universe it stays put.

[00:19:05]If you do any remote physical activity in a tube top, it's going to end up around your belt line. And if it's not, >> this is all new information for me.

[00:19:15]>> Sliding down, it [clears throat] means it's so tight you can't fully inhale. So why on earth is a child wearing >> Yeah. Well, with everything you just said in mind, I can totally see what you're saying. Dash is stupid.

[00:19:29]>> Choose to wear uncomfortable heels, tight dresses, stiff suits because it's our decision. We trade comfort for fashion and we take the responsibility for that choice. Kids don't have a say.

[00:19:42]They're entirely at the mercy of whatever aesthetic their parents are obsessed with. This also highlights a massive double standard when you look at girls clothes versus boys clothes. There are a lot of videos online comparing them. Boys get longer shorts, thick fabrics, and big white comfortable t-shirts made for running around.

[00:20:01]Meanwhile, girls clothes in the exact same age bracket are shorter, tighter, thinner, and more restrictive.

[00:20:09]>> I didn't know that. I didn't know that.

[00:20:11]Cuz when I buy clothes for my daughters, they are very much like protection. I buy clothes to protect my daughters. You know what I mean? So, [ __ ] [ __ ] that. I didn't know that this is how it was, though.

[00:20:25]>> Really dumb. Look at this. This is a pair of 24 month shorts for my toddler.

[00:20:33]>> Uh-huh.

[00:20:34]>> And this is a pair of size six shorts for my seven-year-old daughter.

[00:20:42]>> Whoa.

[00:20:46]Look at this. Look.

[00:20:49]Why are they the same size? Why are her shorts so small and tight? Look, they're not even as long as the 2-year-old shorts. Why are these ones so baggy and these ones so small?

[00:21:00]>> Right. Right.

[00:21:01]>> I'm at Target. [music] Let me show you something real quick. These are boys shorts.

[00:21:06]>> Okay.

[00:21:07]>> Size 12. 12 months.

[00:21:09]>> Right. One year old.

[00:21:10]>> These are girls. 12 months.

[00:21:13]>> Okay.

[00:21:17]Huh?

[00:21:19]>> The object.

[00:21:20]>> Yeah. Yeah. Well, [ __ ] I mean, the world is ran by billionaire pedophiles. What you want me to tell you? What would you like me to tell you?

[00:21:32]>> Girls literally.

[00:21:34]>> But the reality is though, you do have options, okay? Like you can find longer dresses, you can find bigger shorts, you can buy shorts that are just literally maybe a size up and they do have styles that are more modest. It's not like those are the only shorts, but it does say something that those shorts are even an option. You know what I'm saying? And um Yeah. Yeah. Right. It just It also all depends too though, you know. I don't want to crucify anybody who buys their daughters maybe some shorts from Target and they're a little shorter than the equivalent boy shorts. Why? Because also though, they still are little kids and their bodies have not matured in any way sexually. And so it's not inherently provocative, right, a lot of the times with these clothes. Even though when the girl version seems to be more revealing than the boy version, it still once that they put it on, if it's the right size, it don't look that crazy. It It just seems crazy when you put them side by side. Makes you think like, well, why is it like this though?

[00:22:50]Interesting. Never thought of it like that. But um but again those shorts are completely different story than a lot of the um examples we saw earlier in the video. So there's that as well.

[00:23:03]>> Starts in toddlerhood. It reflects in the sizing. It reflects in a weird gendered quotes printed on children's clothing.

[00:23:14][music] >> Yeah. Not allowed to date or I only date heroes.

[00:23:21]Ew.

[00:23:23]Why are you putting this on?

[00:23:25]Is this a onesie?

[00:23:28]>> A little boy >> boy genius. Wait. Wow. Yeah. Future man of steel, right? Why not a Why not [ __ ] Supergirl? Why has got to be I only date heroes boy genius. Ready for my selfie? Oh, wow. Wow. It's the indoctrination shirt. It starts young, huh? A little boy's shirt says something like future explorer or adventure awaits. A little girl's shirt says something like spoiled rotten. Daddy doesn't allow me to date. And I know some people think it's harmless. It's just a joke. But jokes show us what society thinks is normal. And apparently society thinks that it's okay to talk about little girls in terms of beauty, jealousy, and attention before they can even read what is written on their clothes. And then we have swimsuits.

[00:24:20]This one is literally driving me insane.

[00:24:23]Why does a 3-year-old need to wear a two-piece bikini? It's not even comfortable. It's not even comfortable for me as a grown adult. When I wear a bikini, the top is constantly sliding.

[00:24:34]The straps are digging into my skin, >> I'm sure. And my butt is actively eating my panties. And keep in mind, I'm not >> okay running around building sand castles and doing cartwheels on the beach. I'm just laying there like a whale. Kids are usually active. On top of that, baby skin is super sensitive and it needs to be protected from the harsh sun. They should be in a rash guard, not in a micro bikini.

[00:24:58]>> For sure.

[00:24:58]>> This is an appropriate little girl swimsuit.

[00:25:06]This is insane.

[00:25:10]>> Why do they even make this?

[00:25:12]>> Call me a prude, I guess. Call me old school, but I'm not going to lie. I do think this is a crazy top.

[00:25:19]>> Whoa.

[00:25:20]>> For a baby.

[00:25:21]>> Wow.

[00:25:22]>> 12 months.

[00:25:23]>> Wow.

[00:25:23]>> This is the top.

[00:25:24]>> Yeah.

[00:25:25]>> I'm trying to hide the tag because I don't want to put the brand on blast, but it's weird. You should, right? Like, >> what? Why protect these [ __ ] perverts that are created these these outfits for these children?

[00:25:38]>> Baby needs scrunch butt.

[00:25:42]Scrunch butt bottoms.

[00:25:44]>> Oh no. Ain't that the kind that's like the kind of bottom I think where it like intentionally goes up into their butt crack to you know you've seen what the girls are wearing to the gym these days, right? The the women, right? It's one of those, right? tiny string bikini tops. I'm so sorry, but call me approved, I guess, but like this to me is so crazy.

[00:26:12]>> When I look at my childhood pictures, I look like a kid. I don't look like a mini influencer. I don't look like AN ADULT.

[00:26:18]>> THAT'S EXACTLY That's what little girls should be wearing.

[00:26:21]>> Can't imagine adult wearing something like that, to be honest.

[00:26:24]>> Right. Yeah. I was wearing mismatched neon patterns, stuff that looks hideous, but it was comfortable to me. I was just a kid that looked like sometimes >> you let kids be kids, man. Dress kids like kids, okay? Let kids be kids. Don't let them be too grown up. You know what I mean? It's uh it's a shame, man. It's a shame what what's going on right now with the this [ __ ] and the fact that so many people are doing this, putting their children in clothes like this and then flaunting them on social media for views just opening them up to the world, right? Predators and all kinds of [ __ ] freaks.

[00:27:09]Not good, man. Not good. But y'all let me know what you think in the comments section down below. Thank you for watching and until next time, peace out.

[00:27:26][music] >> [music]
