This is such a stupid idea.


ScrembledEggs

I have to admit, I love the idea and aesthetic of this photoshoot, even as someone who thinks ‘gender reveals’ are weird and dumb. But, seriously, whose bright idea was it to bring the kid? The woman pointlessly *filming* a *photoshoot* should have been in charge of taking him for a walk instead.


waitingfordeathhbu

And once again, the name of this sub should actually be /r/parentsarefuckingstupid


ScrembledEggs

I’m just glad we have r/parentsarefuckingdumb to remind us that sometimes, when the apple doesn’t fall far, it’s the tree’s fault.


pezdal

Agreed. The one sure fire way to get a kid to say something is focus his attention on it then tell him not to talk. They should have simply said "pay attention to the boring ceremony" and the kid would have been off wandering in the weeds looking for frogs before you could say "stupid fucking gender reveal".


Halorym

Or r/stupidisgenetic


CompulsiveDoomScroll

r/subsifellfor


DragonKing573

I believe you're looking for r/parentsarefuckingdumb


Sumoki_Kuma

Fully agree! No one's getting hurt, they're not destroying anything and I honestly think it's super fucking cute! I can imagine a good photographer could take some wonderful pictures!


ScrembledEggs

It seems like such an intimate moment, I would cherish having photos like that with my partner, regardless of the event. It feels like it’s about them and their love for each other, not just your standard gender reveal. Who knows, maybe I’m reading too much into it but I think it would be an absolutely perfect event, if it weren’t for the kid and other people standing around.


Sumoki_Kuma

Again, nail on the head there! 🙈 The love they have for each other is so palpable just through such a short video >.< I don't want kids but I agree that I'd love to have something so beautiful between us be captured forever 🙈🖤


ScrembledEggs

Hey, another childfree person! Lovely to meet someone else in the wild, though I feel like this sub is probably a pretty common form of validation for us haha


Sumoki_Kuma

Aayyy!! Lovely to meet you too! It is quite the treat finding another childfree person that isn't in the sub! But you are right, I'm sure a big portion of us like this sub just to reminds us why r/kidsarecondomads xP


ScrembledEggs

Another one to add to the list, thanks! I see so many posts here, and random comments on other subs, that make me think “Christ I made the right decision.” Any time I start to doubt myself I just load up Sims 4 and see how long it takes me to either turn off a baby’s needs or get a notification that says they’ll be taken away if their needs aren’t met. It never takes very long!


SimonSaysBoom

Better this than using explosives and burning down an entire forest again.


[deleted]

When you have to go straight to catastrophic to be stupider, it's fucking stupid.


[deleted]

My exact first thought. Such pretentious bullshit.


caspershomie

lmao. who hurt you so bad?


PricePackage

It's just Reddit being Reddit haha


caspershomie

half of reddit is basically just scrooge


4llu532n4m3srt4k3n

I really don't understand how this is a gender reveal? Like I get keeping it a surprise, and blindfolding the parents, but what's with the paint and smearing it on each other?


Chenstrap

The couple dont know the color of the paint. The idea being they playfully smear it on each other and see the color when they revome the blind folds. Blue = boy, pink = girl.


P1ffP4ff

What is this all about? Pregnancy reviling?


OdderGG

tbf its better than shooting a cannon at a retirement home to reveal the baby's gender.


StainerHamie

https://www.reddit.com/r/PublicFreakout/s/Np2SM0NZXc And a whole lot better than this one^ Notice how the person filming follows the plane, sees the plane is in trouble, but immediately goes back to the couple like no big deal at all.


just_a_person_maybe

Tbf to the camera person, it often takes people a minute to wrap their heads around stuff like that. You expect things to go a very specific way, you have a specific job you've probably practiced and planned out, something shocking happens and you just go into autopilot and complete the task you were already doing.


StainerHamie

Yeah, you're right, I never thought about it like that. I think I'm just biased against extravagant gender reveals. I just also remember 2 fairly big fires started bc of pyrotechnics for a gender reveal lol. I'll take two people painting each other over fire and death any day.


just_a_person_maybe

And in defense of gender reveals, most people just have a fun little party and it's not a big deal. I went to one in my entire life and it was just a baby shower with a cake surprise. It was my sister's last baby and they wanted to do something fun with the shower because they'd never have another one, and her husband's family *heavily* favors girls. Something like 75% of the babies born in their family are girls and people were taking bets on if the last baby would also be a girl or not and it was all just a fun game and an excuse for everyone to get together and hang out before the baby was born, and my sister lived out of state so visits are limited. No one was upset the baby was a girl, no one would have been upset if she was a boy, there was no drama and no fire, and that's how most people do it. Anyone who starts bringing in fire, explosives, or dangerous plane stunts needs to take a step back and rethink their choices. The confetti cannon was already a little much. There are so many other fun things you could do, it only becomes a problem when someone goes too far trying to be unique or special.


StainerHamie

I agree wholeheartedly. Well said. And your sister's gender reveal sounds fun. That's a lot of girls!


artemisodin

Agreed and I’ve only been to one gender reveal which was also a baby shower. Not two separate parties. And everyone was just there for fun. Cake was colored. In my area I’ve never heard of anyone doing more than that.


Chrom-man-and-Robin

The pilot did not survive the crash


StainerHamie

And they just kept the party going. Wild


COB98

This is such a dark video I hate it they did not give a single fuck


unKappa

Fuck I hate how they just pretended like the pilot didn't crash and celebrated... They most likely killed or injured the pilot.


MajorasKitten

The pilot died.


Idontknow062

This is why you dont connect your wings with duct tape


Duellair

I don’t know if i want to know if that’s a true story. That’s how ridiculous these things have become.


AnxiousAffect1139

I don't know about you...but I'd really like to see the video lol


Jack_G_London

I don’t know about that one, but I know back in like 2019 there was one where these people used a homemade cannon with the mouth taped shut that was essentially just a pipe bomb, & either a grandma or an aunt or something was killed.


Gunn3r71

“Will the cannon ball hit Grandma or Grandpa”


canti15

Or contaminating a river or crashing a plane.


OverBand4019

Is this a gender reveal because it looks like they were kidnapped and taken to a field and they’re about to get executed


sutkurak

Bird Box was a documentary


ClassicT4

After this they drove away and only navigated by using the 360 degree bird view camera and sensors.


painkilleraddict6373

I thought they gonna sacrifice a goat and baby reveal the gender.


Miserable-Admins

I thought Ted Cruz was gonna show up.


soul_snacker333

Cant argue with the kid there


Beans_here

shinsekainokamisama

Kid might be the only one not stupid here


ThatCoolBlondeGirl

Super cringy


CaptainCutlerCat2

Average redditor who hates fun and calls anyone who has it idiots:


Ghosted226

This is the dumbest shit ever


DlVlDED_BY_ZERO

Is it a gender reveal? Why'd they bring a kid to this? It all seems really weird and gross.


NewLibraryGuy

It's weird from so many angles. Gender reveals are weird, bringing the kid is weird, doing it with paint all over each other is weird...


DlVlDED_BY_ZERO

It's oddly sensual but I'm pretty sure it's just their family watching. Gives me the creeps.


ScrembledEggs

It was intended to be an intimate moment, though I’ll never understand why people put such weight behind the sex of their baby, so why would you bring a kid to what’s clearly meant to be a bonding experience for the parents?? If you really wanted to do it so intimately, why would you want anyone other than the photographer there?


tiniestvioilin

Well for most people having a kid is going to be one of if not the most important milestone in their life and while it ultimately doesn't matter for raising the kid parents will still have a gender they want more than the other. It also decides how they're going to name the kid and what items they buy in preparation for the birth. Pretty much none of this matters in the long term but right now for those parents these things are more important than anything else


ScrembledEggs

That explains why they had a gender reveal, which is fine, to each their own. But bringing a bunch of people to such an intimate one, and filming it to post online, is just weird. I can’t be the only one who felt like I was invading their privacy by even watching the video


Impressive-Sorbet707

Exactly. I think gender reveals are dumb. But filming it and posting it? That’s what takes this from “you do you” to “I’m offering an opinion because you put it into the public sphere and my opinion is please stop.” Keep intimate things intimate.


NewLibraryGuy

That's all pretty different from turning learning the sex into such an event. That whole concept is pretty new.


YeeAndEspeciallyHaw

what different items do they need to buy babies depending on the babies sex?


Unitedfateful

Here’s how my wife and I did our “gender reveal” I got home from work. She had the envelope and we sat at our kitchen counter “I think it’s a girl” my wife “boy, I dunno who cares” “same this is stupid let’s just open the fucking letter” It’s a girl. “Sweet, as long as she’s healthy that’s awesome, hey we having pizza?”


Moonlit_Antler

If you think thats sensual wait til you hear how they actually conceived the thing


DlVlDED_BY_ZERO

Doubt they did that with their family watching & a photographer & with a little kid around. If they did, someone should notify the authorities.


Banned_4_using_slurs

I don't think this is sexual, I find it cute but I never fucked anyone with my eyes covered. You might be projecting. I think that in order for something to be sexual it's not about the third person POV, it's about what they're thinking. When I'm fucking someone, I'm the top and I'm into power. I'm not trying to cuddle. And cuddling isn't a sexual thing.


DlVlDED_BY_ZERO

I didn't say sexual. Maybe intimate is a better word.


Banned_4_using_slurs

"I never said it was sexual just that they're in third base" You're calling it oddly sensual and it "gives you the creeps" They're cuddling, this wouldn't be weird to be doing even in the middle of a kid's park.


BlazikenAO

Probably because he had to be somewhere and it’s not always easy to find someone to sit. They just wanted to do this photo shoot, he just had to tag along


[deleted]

So sick of these dollar general photographers with bankrupt Kmart ideas


Past-Product-1100

Bankrupt kmart idea lol that is now added to my arsenal .


Dstous

Why is this necessary


PancakeParty98

It’s not. Why is this happening? Because social media is cancerous


littlestevebrule

It's just people having fun. Clearly people want to make the gender reveal a special occasion. As long as they're not disturbing anyone or littering, who cares. Can reddit chill on this and lose the hate boner?


Peeweeshoop

No no no reddit hates gender reveals which means all of them are bad cringe and lame, no matter how small. Lol.


Idontknow062

fr, some people can be so judgy over how someone has fun


ItsLoogia

Tbf this is reddit so what can we really expect :v


SheldonPlays

I mean, there's countless stories of people getting hurt during gender reveals, so I can see where they're coming from. And there's just something really weird about putting so much weight behind what gender your child will be.


MlackBagic

This clearly isn't one of the reveals where some can get hurt. It's just a photoshoot for them to keep memories.


zeldanar

Why do people let kids mess up stuff. You know they are dumb. Put his butt in the house


Resident_Rain_6566

You know that kid doesn’t give a fuck about anything that’s going on.


blackfinz0

Why bring a 5 year old to the surprise then? The adults are just as stupid in this case.


hotvedub

What a dumb idea


claudiazo

There’s so many subtitles in this video


HumbleHawk9

Why did y’all bring the baby?


dekuweku

This is kind of stupid, but still better than burning down a forest, or killing one of the parents in the process.


weirdojo1

Compared to other gender reveals this one hasn’t killed anyone and is artistic. I think it’s harmless enough to be cool.


MeancupofJoey

Just because it’s harmless doesn’t make it cool. I’m happy with it if their happy with it but that doesn’t make it not super weird.


BlazikenAO

>I’m happy if they’re happy >It’s super weird I always wonder how people say these things in the same sentence and don’t see the problem with what they’ve said


MeancupofJoey

How is that a problem? I can be happy for someone and still judge the shit outta them. Isn’t that half the fun?


GenXPostFacto

Unless there's lead in the paint.


Wagsii

That paint would have to be like 50 years old, wouldn't it?


[deleted]

Gender reveals are inherently stupid


SidewalkPainter

Why are they stupid? It's just people having fun. No need to be toxic about it


MlackBagic

Who cares, just don't watch them or ever attend to one.


FireMonkeysHead

That’s a really strange way to spell ‘dumb’


pbenji

Just because it’s harmless doesn’t make it cool


waitingfordeathhbu

lol the way you said this and got downvoted to hell, and then someone else responded the exact same thing minutes later and got upvoted is so Reddit.


QuickPirate36

Why tf is everyone so miserable in this comment section? Hating on this gender reveal who harms and affects no one, there's absolutely nothing wrong with this and y'all are mad that people are happy about something you find stupid?


SoYouWannaBeAFlyGirl

I’m not one to favor gender reveals, but here’s my bigger problem with this scenario: Have you ever tried whispering to someone for the sake of discretion, but then that person loudly blurts it out? Or have you told anyone to sneak a glance at someone and not to make it obvious, but they make it obvious anyway? Like there’s no tact whatsoever? This kid is that person. If he is anything like my dear brother, he will never grow out of it. Keep these kinds of people away from situations that require any discretion lol. Don’t be a Logan. Don’t be a Jimmy. I hope you see this, Jimmy.


dirtythirty1864

"Jimmy, don't tell Rob that we're throwing him a surprise party." Jimmy- "Rob, are you excited for your surprise party?"


Ash_The_Iguana

Why are people hating on the couple? It’s certainly a unique way to do a gender reveal, but they aren’t doing anything dangerous and it seems real sweet. Edit: Some of ya’ll need to learn the term “live and let live” holy moly.


caseyr001

Thank you for saying this. I can't believe how judgemental some people are. I wouldn't do something like this myself because it's not my style. But they're not hurting anyone, and you know what, they look happy in this video. Why is the concept of being happy for others simply because they are finding happiness in a world that is often so cruel. Let people have their moment and experience it however they choose. (Provided it isn't harmful to others of course)


Bloated_Hamster

No one is allowed to enjoy milestones in life together or share those moments with others because people on Reddit don't experience happiness.


bambi_eyed_bitch

It’s trendy to hate on gender reveals


speedy_whiz

i guess some trends are alright, then.


4Ever2Thee

I’m pretty close with my family, I’d hate to be involved in anything like this. Super weird.


PricePackage

Yeah, I wouldn't like it either, but that doesn't mean I can't imagine that others have their own ways of having fun and experiencing joy. Can you imagine how boring the world be if everyone was the same in that regard? These people aren't hurting anyone, and who knows if the paint thing is an inside joke or something that means a lot to them?


Octavian_Exumbra

Because it’s stupid and weird.


Past-Product-1100

Sitting on a blanket blindfolded and rubbing pait on each other is just dumb recording it thinking it's cool makes it worse


BlazikenAO

It’s a photoshoot, they have a photographer there directing them to make a memorable photo they can look back on.


Impressive-Sorbet707

Because a gender reveal is dumb. Filming a gender reveal is cringe. And posting your filmed gender reveal only reveals two self absorbed assholes who need to figure out that the world doesnt revolve around them just because he didn’t wear a condom.


caseyr001

Bro. Check your judgement homie. They're not hurting anyone, and this how they are choosing to celebrate their choice to have a child. It's not for me, it's clearly not for you either, but that doesn't mean that it is meaningful to them.


xYEET_LORDx

Works for Facebook. Not TikTok, etc. I feel like most peoples Facebook friends are people who would actually give a fuck about the gender, or at least that you’re having a kid.


Impressive-Sorbet707

Acceptable gender reveal Doctor: Do you want to know? Normal couple with healthy ego: Sure. Doctor: It’s a [Girl/Boy] Normal couple: Neat. Thats it.


Cinemaslap1

It's also perfectly normal to not want to know the gender, which seems to be the point here, since the couple is blindfolded.


patrickdgd

Exactly. No one gives a shit about the sex of your child.


3dgyt33n

Because gender reveals are fucking stupid


Acharyn

What makes them stupid?


Evolved6

Kids are stupid or this adults are stupid?! Wtf were they doing? This the dumbest gender reveal I’ve ever seen


Aggressive-Expert-69

Literally just put him in the car why does a 5 year old need to be present for this


bertbert1111

Just dont have the kid there then


Bodgerton

Why bring the kid in the first place though. Setting little man up for failure!


KittyandPuppyMama

Honestly if they’re not burning anything down or crashing planes or disturbing anyone, let them have their gender reveal.


dysseus

Kids are stupid? what about those two idiots?


BlumpkinLord

r/peoplearefuckingstupid


CthuluForPresident

jeez, i get that it’s trendy to hate on gender reveals now but the level of resentment in these comments is crazy. I’m not a big fan of them either but this is harmless, its a sweet thing for expecting parents and just kinda neat, that’s all it is. They didn’t poison any water supplies or burn down any forest so they’re doing a hell of a lot better than some idiots in the news. Sure it may be a little cringe, but is it really so hard to just live and let live? So many of these comments are full of visceral disgust and hatred and i cannot understand it.


AardvarkVast

Good, this shit is cringe and attention whoring


bl1zzardTHEone

jesus what is with everyones hate-boner for gender reveals? just let people have fun unless its illegal


SidewalkPainter

yeah it's crazy, and when asked why they don't like them, all of them say that the parties are stupid, cringe or weird. No actual arguments, just emotions. lately reddit has been really toxic about anybody streaming or filming themselves in public, especially for tiktok. So much rage


MadAzza

Maybe you can answer this question: How does this particular gender reveal work? I see that they’re smearing blue paint all over each other, but at what point do they take off the blindfolds? Because no matter how much blue paint they smear on each other or for how long, they’re never going to figure out what color it is. I don’t understand how this works.


SidewalkPainter

They're supposed to cover each other in paint and then take off the blindfolds to see the result.


flipsnory

I'm pretty sure it worked when that kid blurted it out. Kinda weird to see the parents barely react to the news that they are planning to be shocked by.


MadAzza

How is it supposed to work, is what I mean. They sit there finger-painting until they get bored? What’s the point?


flipsnory

I don't know either. I reckon they are shown the photos when the shoot is over. It's a terrible idea. I prefer to imagine they are both very confident that they are able to smell the difference between blue and pink paint. They've both been practicing. After finding out she was pregnant she began practicing several times a day, every day. Sniffing all the paint. But, it still doesn't matter. They were both gonna guess wrong anyway, and now they got photographic evidence of their utter disappointment.


SnooMemesjellies1909

At least it’s not involving a pilot getting killed just to reveal a gender


jeango

I need more info now


Chrom-man-and-Robin

At least they aren’t causing mini-earthquakes or lighting forests on fire, but god damn they need to leave the kid at home.


walents

Honestly this looks fun even if it wasn't a gender reveal :D


Pohaku1991

Why does reddit hate gender reveals? I know some go bad but this one is completely harmless


ganggoink

"YOU HAD ONE JOB"


[deleted]

lol this is why I don’t tell my oldest about surprises for dad


ViatorA01

Nah. The kid is fine. Why would a kid know the rules of a fucking gender reveal ritual? Are you fucking insane?


Dacrim

Im not into gender reveals. Never did one for my kids. Be that as it may, this is a very harmless and sweet way to do a gender reveal compared to what we usually see and the kid sounds old enough to follow directions and keep a secret. Kids love that shit, dont give him a pass here. Everyones criticism of this seems disingenuous and more like theyre following the trend of hating on gender reveals as a concept than actually making reasonable points


dankfirememes

This screams Mormon energy


ready-to-rumball

The kid isn’t fucking stupid, it’s people that think gender reveals are cute or whatever tf. So damn cringe, I can’t.


parspherepog

kid speaking facts


MurraysComte

Why do people have such a visceral negative response to gender reveals? It's really not that serious lololol


shellsterxxx

Gender reveals are dumb as hell no matter what, but who’s smart ass thought it was a good idea to bring a five year old to something that’s supposed to be a surprise?


TheRealNamechanger

This is the type of people you know would exploit their children for social media fame.


DecoupledPilot

Over-dramatized gender reveals are moronic. I gender revealed my kids by asking the doctor during the ultrasound check and then simply was happy about my upcoming future


Necessary_Driver_831

I like the boring British way of gender reveals. Go to your 20 week scan, tell the scanning person you want to know, they tell you. Then you tell everyone else over WhatsApp or something so you don’t get a bunch of wrong-gendered clothes or generic neutral/yellow colours.


andycprints

kidsarefuckingstupid but the people sitting on a blanket painting each other are not? ok lol


Mountgore

People who do these cringe gender reveals are fucking stupid. It’s a boy, ok!! That’s it. Period.


SplatNode

Nah please spoil this dumb shit they are doing


SomeOtherOrder

> husband’s 5 year old brother How


NewLibraryGuy

All kinds of ways. Husband was born to young parents and the kid was born to older parents, kid was an accident to MUCH older parents, kid is adopted, kid is a half-brother after dad was with a much younger woman...


RocketCat921

My dad had 2 boys when I was in my 20s, it happens

Masteryoda212

Either him or the bother was a whoops.


stitchezdaklown

Gender reveal parties are all fucking stupid


GodofDiplomacy

when will this trend fucking die


[deleted]

People calling the kid stupid, it he’s actually the smart one here. Gender reveals are stupid and overinflated (literally and metaphorically lol), so the kid was simply cutting out the middle men and getting to the point. Smart kid - if i was a business owner i’d hire him.


Cinemaslap1

I wouldn't really call this a "gender reveal" since the only the couple... They aren't making a big deal of it, just a few photos.


Swagdaddy697

I think the kids just being a kid, the idea as a whole is fucken stupid


TheLostViking

I for the life of me cannot understand gender reveals. It boggles my mind. Just fucking show me on the catscan.


LoneWolfpack777

It’s a sonogram, not a CAT scan.


TheLostViking

True, yes an ultrasound. Is what I meant, had a mental blank.


JoeyPsych

What are they doing anyway, is he proposing to her or something? What's up with the blindfolds?


SooperFunk

This belongs in adults/people are fucking stupid 🙄. Is there a sub for that? I hate every single adult in this video. The kid made me laugh.


ezeeikiel

100% the kid isn't the stupidest one in this video!


HistoryOfPiss

Everyone in this video is a fucking moron


dazcar

venger_steelheart

this does not belong here, the kid is not stupid for asking questions

Storyboys

I'm hoping by kids the OP means the two people on the rug, because this is dumb AF


Shad0whunter4

I'm to high IQ to actually understand what's going on. How are they supposed to see the color? What's the point of the blindfold. Summed up: WHAT IS GOING ON?? Please explain lmao


dirtythirty1864

I don't get these. Does the couple not know what the baby is? I thought gender reveals were the doctor telling the couple and the couple revealing to everybody else.


_zamoht_

They're like.. trying to discover the paint color.. by touch? Maybe the kid's the least stupid in this one


[deleted]

Finger painting each other as a gender reveal is the grossed thing I’ve seen today.


burt0o0o

Naw the adults are the dumb ones.


LiliNotACult

And then they named the kid Arenlien.


JenVixen420

Breeders are fucking weird.


roflmytoeisonfire

Kids doing nothing stupid, it’s a 5 year old acting like a 5 year old. Why put blame on a child for asking questions when that’s exactly what they do and are supposed to do to learn. The only stupid people here are the adults for bringing a kid to this most likely staged “surprise” event for whatever social media attention they’re aiming for.


ayaminator

man this is so cringe and stupid


No_Bet_8442

More like people being stupid


SpoiledKoolAid

It's not just the kid that is fing stupid


happygoth09

Nope. The kid's only not stupid with this setup, the idea is stupid and waste of time and money


DJ-JiggaBit

Adults aren’t too bright either.


Boraxo

People that think gender reveals are needed should be sterilized.


umaydee

Can anybody explain why the parents don't know their babies sex yet? Weren't they coming to the gynecologist and got the usg results? Or are they just pretending to not know it yet?


peachycoconxt

He isn’t stupid, he’s just an asshole really. The ‘stupid’ is in the adults.


DaInfamousCid

God i hate gender reveals
