PSA: WARNING- Dear Men Of Steem, that photo of the hot chick might just be a 10yr old kid

in #blog6 years ago (edited)

Don’t panic, that’s actually a photo of me.. a 32 year old woman with an insane filter that makes me look like some sort of anime porn star, but it turns out kids use it too 😄 And guess what? It has the same effect.

In fact, a individual here on the platform has been using these filters on photos that I assumed were her, as it seems many others did as well. But nope, turns out it’s her 11 yr old daughter.

The idea that we have photos of children being commented on by grown men in a sexual way disturbed me to the core. I’m giving the men on these posts the benefit of the doubt.. that they were confused like I was. Here is the information so you won’t be confused anymore;

Have you met @kawaiicrush?

First of all, there nothing wrong with filters.. or posting photos of your kid.. but seeing that the image on the profile up there is all we have to go on, when I see photos like this randomly and the same person as that in the profile.. I assume it’s the blog owner...

Edit;
Photo can be found here:

While I think the photos were necessary to show how the two were being confused, I also understand how showcasing them here could be seen as also exploiting the child. I’ve removed due to that. This doesn’t actually fix the issue though stated here and believe trying to make the issue that the photos are here on this blog, is nothing more than a form of delflection. I hope the blog owner will also take care in what she Is posting and how she’s responding.

In fact, I had always just assumed this sexy Steem nurse was a young woman who was working what she had for votes. I, as a grown ass adult, had absolutely no problem with that. Who would?

But when I was curating yesterday and came across a post discussing her 11yr olds birthday though, I was a bit confused..

While I think the photos were necessary to show how the two were being confused, I also understand how showcasing them here could be seen as also exploiting the child. Which clearly is not my goal. I’ve removed due to that. This however doesn’t actually fix the issue though, and I believe trying to make the issue that the photos are here on this blog is a form of delflection. I hope the blog owner will also take care in what she posts and how.

First... but is that her daughter or her in that photo? As it looks like the same as the profile image but now I’m not sure who is who. And what about the sexy nurse image I had seen? Was that her or this girl?

So, I went to find out. It turns out that sexy nurse looked a bit different than the other photos but as that photo didn’t have a filter it was still confusing...

Then I found something concerning


This image from this post comparing her daughter to Jessica Rabbit, weird choice.. but ok then. At least it was clear that this photo was in fact her 10yr old daughter.

Then I saw these comment and lost my fucking shit..

public blog.

Couple of things;

if I posted a “fun” photo of my daughter of the internet and this was the response.. I wouldn’t reply like that and I don’t know a sane person who would.

if by chance it was all innocent and I didn’t understand that the individuals were responding to the actual photo in the post.. and not me.. who is nowhere in the post or even in the profile image ... well actually that’s not even plausible as her own fans have told her it’s confusing .. so scratch that.. thats just an unacceptable excuse.

One of many examples of previous confusions;

AC949874-A67F-4001-A328-1E36619180AB.jpeg
since I’m being accused of stealing photos now, this belongs to kawaiicrush, I think anyways.. I mean I got it from her public blog.

While discussing this disgusting behavior with an individual in DM, it was then pointed out to an image she had shared on this post;

https://steemit.com/yourday/@berniesanders/3eggac-what-are-you-doing-today#@llfarms/re-kawaiicrush-kawaiicrush-re-paintingangels-re-kawaiicrush-kawaiicrush-re-berniesanders-3eggac-what-are-you-doing-today-20190302t201357059z

An image of her legs in a bath.. again, absolutely nothing wrong with that.. but many would believe that those legs belong to the same person in your profile image.. is that confusing?

Here, let’s have an example...

If my profile photo was this;

Would you assume that the owner of this body part was in fact the same person as that in the profile image? Seems logical right?

But what if that profile image was in fact a image of an underage child with heavy filters? What happens then?

For the record, both are me.. having to even clarify that is a bit concerning but seeing the subject manner, I felt the need.

I made a comment in the post sharing this confusion and the insane comments from men. Many others did weigh in (not prompted by me) and to say the response was shocking is an understatement. It seems the only issue this mom sees is that we ugly people are jealous of her legs. This is too idiotic to even touch on so let me boldly state the ACTUAL ISSUE;

Grown men are either confusing these images as the adult who is flirting with them in comments, or they know exactly who the photo is of.. both are disturbing and one is criminal.

I won’t go into the threats of releasing personal information and name calling that this individual is throwing in my direction all over her twitter and in comments on Steem, as it’s really not important.

But individuals need to be aware that this is unacceptable behavior towards a young child and I won’t sit by quietly as it continues.

So men, fair warning; this is a damn kid!

If the comments continue I will assume you are aware and I will flag the living hell out of you as well as any photo of her blog that is exploiting a young child in this way.


For the record, I’m not one to go around and tell parents what to do with their children. But this has crossed a line that as a member of the Steem Community (and Mom myself) I feel needed to be addressed.

@Kawaiicrush- to the mom of the blog, whoever you are, I have absolutely nothing against you. I’m not jealous of your legs or your daughter, as you seem to think is the issue here.

I am concerned though.

Posting images of your innocent child like this is getting a response.. a sexual response from grown men and your reply to them is encouraging it. Please, I am begging you to stop.

Post images of your legs in the bath girl, post sexy photos of yourself! Just please stop doing it along side your child’s face and allowing comments from men that are absolutely terrifying to continue. You should be protecting her. This is just too much...

Sort:  

I had no idea this was happening but got into the rabbit hole just a few hours ago.

As a normal human being and as a psychologist I'm concerned about the blurring of lines here between just 'cool mother daughter content' and abusing the daughters 'upgraded' pictures to elicit sexual responses of grown up men. This is morally wrong. The mother is clearly flirting with men while they think they're chatting with an adult, in the meanwhile that adult is hiding behind a pic of an 11 year old (!) girl.

If I saw an 11 year old girl chatting like that with adult men I would try to notify the authorities to protect her.

  • There's nothing wrong with adults flirting
  • There's nothing wrong with sexy pics made by yourself and posted by yourself on the web, if you're an adult
  • There's something terribly wrong if you're exploiting the attractiveness of a kid, any kid, by posting their pics online (knowing what people wander around on there), and if it's your own kid... I don't even have the words for that.

Even if she has seen nothing 'wrong' until now: it's time to end the confusion. No more mixing adult flirting with sexy kid faces. Posting pics of your underaged kids is one thing (I'm not a fan, but it is 'normalized' over the years), making them central to flirty interactions with adult men is something totally different.

Totally agree with all above.. It has raised my eyebrows many times seeing that my account upvoted her posts (through a trail I follow) while I clearly never would upvote these posts, because they discussed me. I wondered for quite a while if I was overreacting, as so many people support her videos. But I'm glad to finally read that this is not only disgusting me. It's really making me sick reading what she comments back when men are making these sexual comments. Disgusting!

This has been going on for quite some time.

totally agree with you! she may be an interesting case for you to study actually...so many other things going on with her I feel. I had an altercation with her once a year ago, because she took her daughter to an aquarium and filmed a whale trapped in a tiny pool. I politely suggested that this is animal cruelty, and maybe not a place to spend your money....and the response from her was totally over the top, like wayyyyy over the top. She accused me of making fun of "her disabled child"!! I realized back then there's no having a conversation with her...but this is so much worse!

Thanks for sharing @evecab, I had no idea you had an encounter like that with her as well. I've seen more reputable Steemians share their stories about this woman, and the more I read, the more I believe there's a lot wrong with her and the way she communicates. It all seems so 'happy and fluffy' when you look at the account in a superficial manner - I decided it was not for me even though she seemed to have a lot of fans! I was just happy for her, making her 'thing' on here. Now I realize that there must be many people who think this way which is why we never really noticed the weirder aspects of the account... Glad it's spoken about now at least.

@llfarms keep in mind "ava" is supposed to be a child dying of sickness which I've had my issues with Kawaiicrush before on separate thread. Her child I believe is terminally ill. From what I gather in videos I've seen she is perfectly functional and healthy. When you question this Kawaiicrush will claim she has to get back to "her ill child" and doesn't want drama.

Well...it's not always apparent immediately when someone is ill or disabled. Assuming someone is able bodied because they appear so is a form of discrimination. But...considering the weirdness of the comments and pictures and her behaviour...it does lead one to question...

I might have not gotten that fully right but I do believe there has been "pandering" to the effect that my child is sick please help, but she doesn't seem "blind" to me. I'm not a dr. but I do question what is going on here with her taking advantage of her "sick" kid. I believe the kid was laid up in bed for months but was still being used as a poster child for upvotes. Let's stop beating around the bush, I have a serious concern of her using her daughter for personal gain. Ditch the daughter , and get back doing your business Kawwaii. Also stop being a bitch about it when people are calling you out , you kicked multiple people from your so-called " steem nurse" discord which is creepy as fuck! for calling you out for what you are doing and claimed , you can't handle the "drama" and I need to go "protect my kid" from you bullying. Enough of the bullshit time to own up to what you are doing.

Oh...if she was claiming she's blind...that is... Yeah, I doubt that. Unless there's another kid that she doesn't take pictures of...

I think it's more likely that she has some issues.

I just wanted to point out that you can't always assume. Some people are trying really hard to live a normal life...and then to deny that they're suffering...can be hurtful.

But the more we pick at this scab...the more it looks to be festering.

Hmm, a perfect example of the state of society. Fast forward to 2029...I wonder what societies' norm will look like then? #stoptheworldIwantout

Justine, I want to say thanks for stepping up to the plate on this situation. You personally know my thoughts but let me just say it for everyone to hear.

Yesterday, when I discovered the disturbing replies to the “Jessica Rabbit” photo, the photo of a 10 year old CHILD, I was, to put it mildly, FURIOUS.

How does any loving and protective mother in her right mind allow pictures like these ones of Ava to even be taken in the first place? I feel uncomfortable just even looking at them at all. No smiles, just seductive types of faces a 10-year old child shouldn’t even know how to make at all. She’s wearing carefully lined lipstick and eye shadow, she was TEN YEARS OLD in these pictures, people!!

Just because it’s on snapchat and because “millions” of people do it, doesn’t make it okay! These kinds of airbrushed filters that take away any sense of REALNESS to a human face are changing the way people look at themselves.

These young girls (and boys) are being raised in a world that makes it far too easy to be transformed into something that isn’t natural and isn’t beautiful, but into something that is HEARTBREAKING to look at.

It’s one thing to use the filters as an adult and to play around and be silly because we know it’s ridiculous. But what’s happening is that girls now are growing up in a world that is transforming the ridiculous into the expected. It worries me.

People say I’m too overprotective because I don’t let my teenage daughter have accounts on social media. She doesn’t have snapchat, she’s never used instagram or Twitter or Facebook... I monitor her phone daily. And I take pictures of her in which she SMILES and makes normal faces that don’t look like Playboy models are making them.

And I agree with you, Justine. These kinds of filters on snapchat and instagram do make women (and children)look like anime porn stars.

As I said to @kawaiicrush yesterday, THIS needs to STOP. NOW.

And if you’re a grown ass man and you’re flirting with children, I hope a rabid stray dog attacks you and chews off your coconuts. JUST STOP.

Justine, I love you girl. Thanks for speaking out.

❤️-serena

@paintingangels, what can one say? Perfect!! Thank you!
Mitch

Youtube has disabled comments on videos with children in them for this reason. Men leaving sexual comments.

I share your concerns and what's worse is her not seeing the issue. I could see getting caught up and not realizing it is confusing... Once it is pointed out to double down and justify really is concerning.

She’ll claim it’s jealousy and blame others for their sick thoughts. 🤣

Yes, this post sort of comes from her ridiculous response. Oh my gosh I had no idea was the response I was hoping for.. I’d very much welcome her to post whatever images of herself and build whatever persona she wants here.. I was hoping she just didn’t see what she was doing, seems that’s not the case though.

so I figured at least the community needs to be aware that this is indeed a child. Seems from the DMs I am getting, that wasn’t clear. Hopefully it is now.

If that's the case it's disgusting she would use her daughter as a tool to garner upvotes from some creepy dudes.

Account owner is mis-leading....... but with that being said, the girls look very young. It should be noticeable by the commentators, IMO, even with the filters. Hell, with that being said, I'd have thought your pics to be border line teen? So yeah tricky. I suppose if one chooses to dabble in such activities on either side they had better be careful.

Yep I find the filters make it weird, I look quite young in those photos and it changes my face completely. This is why it’s confusing for people to understand her daughter vs her.. as this filter makes it confusing. I have photos on my blog that show, that’s not what I look like.

I do feel this is on the men commenting here of course, as I mentioned.. but her responses aren’t exactly correcting them, which is the problem.

You're making me very conflicted here... On the one hand I absolutely agree with you and it should stop.

On the other hand that activity prompted you to post your pictures, which I fully support...

But yes, that stuff should stop, both the guys and kawaii.

First off; flirting with minors online is no joke, People get life sentence for that.

Going down the rabbit hole i see:

  • Catfishing
  • Non-consented uploading of minor's pic
  • Child Exploitation for the purpose of Profiteering

This type of stuff brings down even Youtube.com itself, let alone a fledgling social media like Steemit.com.

We better self-censor these type of misconduct before others outside of the ecosystem gets interested.

By "self censor" you mean "censor others", right?

By "self censor" I mean the platform's user moderates content among themselves..

Before the majority of websites serving steem content gets a letter from DOJ.

Freedom of speech does not warrant freedom from consequence of speech.

Wow, that's pretty disturbing... I can't imagine anyone who would do something like this, kinda leads me to believe the whole account could be fake and the people we are seeing in the pictures aren't on steem or aware of it at all. At this point I'm hoping it's that...

She's real. I have been watching her block all that bring this up for months on multiple platforms. I got blocked and muted and have checked back on occasion to see if it is still going on and it always is. This is a very sick situation, and the little girl is in my prayers.

Oh, there are plenty enough crazies out there.

She has a DTube channel so it's legitimately them.

It makes me extremely concerned for whatever “project” she had on discord that when asked about what it was, she got extremely defensive. Dans blog. At the time I thought the response was odd but hey, people are odd. I’m really hoping I’m overacting on that part.

I hate when making this post but holy hell if people are confused they need to be made aware. My hope is she doesn’t get it and men think it’s her, the alternative is too much for me to even think about. I’m hoping those commenting just don’t know...
