Is it really worth freaking out over sex toys being sold right next to childrens toothbrushes at walmart? Is this really ‘grooming’?

I'm surprised your voters know what a toothbrush is.

There are worse things as well as people to find in walmart lol… but what do you think?

[CrazyGirl2]

It’s CLEARLY not grooming, but it is pretty fu**ed up to have sex toys next to ANYTHING that is for children! WTF is a parent supposed to say when a child asks what “that” is? Is it in poor taste? YES! Is it disgusting to have anything sexual next to products that are strictly for children? Hell YES! But is it grooming? No! I really wish the far right would stop with the “everything is grooming” and “everyone’s a groomer” bullshit! It seriously diminishes what a groomer actually is. It’s the same as the far left calling everyone they disagree with NAZI’s, all that does is diminish what NAZI’s actually did, and insult those who lost people to the NAZI hatred. But they REALLY should move the sex toys to somewhere where children are not going to be. I doubt anyone carefully planned this, it’s most likely just a thoughtless oversight. As far as that moronic statement that’s right under her tweet “I’m surprised any of your voters even know what a toothbrush is”? I am SO sick of the bigotry and small mindedness coming from the “tolerant” far left wing! I live a hell of a lot further south than Georgia, and despite going to a major university, I live off-campus, and all of my neighbors are self described rednecks and “good ole’ boys” and they are the sweetest, nicest people I’ve ever met. They are kind and accepting of everyone, including my black and trans friends. The most aggressive thing they do is constantly invite us to their church. When I told one neighbor that I was Jewish, she just said “So what, we believe in the same God hunny, you’ll love it I’m sure” but they are truly good people.

What about those on the right who are openly embracing Nazism? That's literally happening now and NEVER would have been tolerated by conservatives who still had some integrity 10+ years ago

[Irishgirl02]

No not really. I mean they've been selling condoms for years like this, lube, viagra is probably not too far away, tampons and tampax as well, preparation H too. Weren't they selling guns and alcohol too. Anyway its not like kids know what they are or are buying toothbrushes themselves.

Having watched a lot of CNN and fox news since I came to this country im very cynical and I think the whole thing has been manufactured by Wallmart to let people know Wallmart sell sex toys.

[shanshu]

Are you sure they were just children toothbrushes and not all types of tooth brushes like for grownups too, the children's ones just happen to be next to them that ended up being next to the sex toys.

Let's not forget that an electric toothbrush that may of been in that toothbrush section too have been used a pleasure stimulation for women.

The employees prob didn't think anything of it as they were just seeing them as childrens toothbrush as jist toothbrushes.

Not if the sex toys was right next to a children's section like kids toys then it would be an issue.

[RolandCuthbert]

All I can say is "F Biden"!!!

[letuswaltzforthedead]

It's not grooming but it's definitely bad taste and horrible. probably good to prompt up awkward conversations with children when they ask "what are those".

[Still-alive]

And all the parent has to say is ‘ill tell you when you’re older’ lol simple. Seriously this is not worth complaining about. This is the same store that sells guns and people show up wearing underwear while driving motorized carts… like who cares? Smh

[letuswaltzforthedead]

it's still not something kids should be exposed to but yeah fair enough, Walmart is definitely not a place you want to take kids often in general lol

[purplepoppy]

I suspect it's a stupid mistake by a dumb shelf stacker rather than a sinister plot.

But I do look forward to the upcoming stories of kids having their teeth shattered.

[summiter]

I don't see anything wrong with it. Adults need toys also. Do you feel the same way as having condoms on a shelf next to tampons?

[SnowedIn]

Not worth freaking out about and definitely not grooming. Just positively stupid, thoughtless consideration for where in the store it is. Bad merchandising.

[melanieeeB]

I wouldn't call it grooming but I would not like it at all! I don't wanna go grocery shopping with my future little kids and have to explain them what a fucking dildo is

[trina_x]

i accidentally selected the top one
it isn't grooming cause that just is not what grooming is
but it's still very very weird

[goaded]

Kids don't buy their own toothbrushes. Be thankful they're not placed next to the guns.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, that is an outrage, and it is grooming!

[JustinTheGreat]

I definitely don’t think it’s grooming bc I highly doubt a child would know what they’re looking at anyways. (The word grooming gets thrown around way too much nowadays)

But it’s strange that they put them next to each other

[Koneko911]

Not grooming... but weird asf... toothbrushes and sex toys have nothing in common. Normally sex toys are on the aisle with condoms, pads, and tampons. Stuff like that

[Nikki1989]

They also sell guns. I would think sex toys would be the least of their problems.

[Cuminginside]

Not handguns just hunting stuff. I don't care if you're anti-gun that's poor form you can't be having a sex supplies next to the toothbrush supplies you just can't do that.

[Still-alive]

@Cuminginside ok but is it ‘grooming’?

[Cuminginside]

I think it is or it's so stupid that Walmart is beyond stupid I've seen them put fresco some kind of Spanish all-purpose cleaner looks like grape juice right next to the actual grape juice. I think their paid to pull off this kind of stuff. I'm starting to think that they are.

[Still-alive]

@Cuminginside they aren’t. Its dumb but not planned. Have this quote

[Cuminginside]

Yeah yeah yeah English teacher just hurry up and give me my C minus already. I'm here to take it like a man.

[Still-alive]

@Cuminginside prove me wrong then. How is it planned?

[Cuminginside]

Too many mishaps for it not to be planned. Can I prove it to you another day I'm going to get checked out for either a kidney stone or because I got hit in the back the other day so I'm not really focused on my game right now.

[Still-alive]

@Cuminginside lol this is why you boomers will keep losing elections cause of dumb shit like that. Get lost.

[douride2]

It's not worth freaking out about. Beside how many children go to Walmart & buy their own toothbrushes?

[call_me_scar]

I don't think it's grooming exacty but who ever thought that was a good idea needs a new job though if I saw that I'd definitely laugh at the stupidity of it

[call_me_scar]

Ok, I see 4 girl votes saying it's grooming, and all the girl comments are saying it's not but a terrible idea wtf is it grooming, or is it not people

[LilyByte]

not grooming but very weird to put thoes two things next to eachother

[Dinosaursandanime65]

It’s weird but no

[blumoonury]

Grooming? STFU.

That's fucking retarded. Get your head out of your ass.

No kid knows what those are and there is nothing explicit or sexual on the packaging in those pictures.

If it WERE grooming, take it up with the Walton family that owns Walmart all of whom are major Republican donors!!!

[SmokinAces2000]

I’m more worried about small businesses going out of business because of big corporations
