How is this related to posting pictures online?
They live vicariously. They only understand something if there is a picture or video of it.
The meme isn't about posting photos online, but about newborn photoshoots.
Another genre similar to celebretity maternity photo shoots?
In that they're both photos surrounding the birth of a baby. Something that most people experiencing view as a precious and fleeting time they'd like to have nice pictures of.
So because you don't understand which feelings this almost blind ugly little meatbag in that photo represents, there will be those who do and who will share the joy, making the world a little less depressing as fuck. Which is a benefit. But of course,. because you can't understand that, no one possibly can.
I don't think pictures of minors should be posted online.
You do you tho
I wholeheartedly agree, just for different reasons than presented here. Yet, especially as long as they look like moles, posting them isn't that bad.
I've never posted pictures of my child online. I don't even post them on private chats. Just via my immich instance to his grandmas and aunts.
Lemmy really hates people posting baby pictures. Because a newborn can’t give consent. We all look like the same weird alien meatvblobs anyway when we come out, it’s not like it’s somehow identifiable. But can’t consent. I’m a bit surprised Lemmy isn’t anti-abortion for this reason.
In fact in some jurisdictions, are minors even allowed to give such consent? If no, then you would have to remove all pictures of anyone younger than adulthood from the internet.
For child actors, presumably it is the parents who give permission to the producers to use their child’s image. So any tv show, movie or commercial with kids should also be wrong for that reason.
That minors can't consent to anything, even when supported by a consenting guardian, is pretty extreme, but I kinda agree with most of what you say here.
