Where exactly did you read from my comment that I find it acceptable to touch a child (or anyone for that matter) without consent? I don’t. I referred to the fact that in certain cultures, a persons head is a seen as especially sacred. In those cultures, touching the head is not “relatively tame”. I hope you learned something, but please try to listen to understand, not only to react. Good luck, and all the best.

Oh? I see; Singapore is such a place. I did not know that.

I live in the United States. Here, a pat on the head is condescending if unwelcome, but not as creepy as, say, touching a shoulder. Also, Our president is a pedophile. I am wary of anything that could be construed as normalizing the violation of consent and boundaries.

I’m very concerned for victims of abuse. I wish I could help them.
Your comment does make more sense with the cultural context. Thank you for clarifying. I apologize for insinuating that you had any ill intent, I lacked the information to interpret your comment any other way.

No need to apologise, I could imagine from where your reaction might have originated. Thank you, also for helping to not turn Lemmy into Reddit.
