What’s Up With Grown Women Infantilizing Themselves For Social Media?
The adults fetishizing themselves as children must be stopped.
One TikTok posted by @kyleoat went viral this month, amassing 8 million views and thousands of comments in less than just one week. The reason? He shared controversial images posted by a famous content creator and influencer, @olivia.ponton. The now-deleted pictures showed Ponton with her hair in pigtails, dressed in a floral crop top and short skirt while holding a stuffed animal. Her expressions in the photos show a range of emotions that are reminiscent of a child’s demeanor: There’s one photo of her with her arms crossed, pouting at the camera with a stuffed bunny. Many of the comments on TikTok referenced another influencer, @hannahkae27, who was infamously known for posting similar photos of herself in the past. Users found out shortly after that her boyfriend was allegedly grooming minors.
