I genuinely can't tell if people are seriously saying twerking isn't sexual or just arguing to argue. Because really...it's not fierce or cute. It's gross. (And that's coming from someone who grew up trying to justify 2 Live Crew as music ) I can't actually wrap my head around one way of looking at twerking that isn't sexual. I am so creeped out when I see kids doing it.
For the record I also think of a lot things mentioned as "perfectly acceptable" in this thread as overly sexual for kids. Bow and arrow, heel stretch, etc.= ok. Doing them with your goods pointed directly at the camera for a photo = gross. I agree that a lot of people find this acceptable, but I gotta say anyone outside of cheer is looking at these pics like . I purposely don't "like" them on Facebook because I don't want the rest of my non-cheer friends to wonder what on earth I'm looking at. As pc as I can make it: girls, you can show how flexible you are without me seeing your spleen. Tell your photo taking friend to move 6 inches to their left.
Parents: If your under 18 kid is "twerking" in a video online and/or wearing a "Twerk Team" t-shirt and you're allowing it...I'm judging you. And so are a lot of other people. If you don't care, cool. Just don't complain when people stereotype your kid.
I bow down to you, JAM, for saying exactly how I feel! :cheering: (we need a nice English bowing emoji!!)
