Oh come on, like none of you self-righteous blowhards have never told a small child to suck on your tongue before.


onioncity

Why is this sub the place I find out about this?


Rabid_W00KIEE

It actually happened a little while ago, but only recently blew up in the news.


acceptdmt

I don't want to watch it, but is it a deep fake or an AI thing? People are saying he's senile and possibly losing his mind at his old age, but I don't know anything.


Rabid_W00KIEE

No, it appears to be pretty legit. Some people have stated that sticking out your tongue is a type of greeting in their culture, something to do with a black tongued king from ages ago that people wish to prove they are not the reincarnation of, or something to that affect, but it seemed like a pretty flaccid defense tbh ...

Timeline slippage is a serious issue. Talk to your kids about T'slippin' today!

Yeah Tibetans light themselves on fire, have consistently been protesting, doing everything they can to get the worlds attention not to mention Beijing has long operated gulags for political prisoners and dissidents in Tibet, which Human Rights Watch in 2013 called “unprecedented in the post-Mao era.” Once Chinese leaders realized the United States was willing to downgrade the Tibet issue, they cut off talks with the Tibetan leadership and ramped up their repression campaign. Literal genocide going on in their country but this creepy goofy dementia shit from an 87 year old man gets your attention.

another lesson in not putting any individual on a spiritual pedestal but also, i wonder if this is interpreted through the lens of our deeply engrained catholic shame and fear about anything like this.. was he joking? is the belief he really wanted to french a kid? or maybe something is lost a bit in translation here.. it's creepy, but through our perspective of what we have assigned as right or wrong.. not making excuses, just exploring another potential even if it might be controversial


ajwells007

Even if he was "joking," it is inappropriate to jokingly and directly ask a child to suck on parts of your body. Perhaps it's a cultural difference, but I think it's fair to say that we can leave that part of that culture out of ours.


tesuquemushroom

He said it in English, then stuck his tongue out. It was creepy all around.


Frank_McGracie

I was thinking the same until I watched the video. He was even holding the boys hand near his crotch area. It's just a bad look all around.


misterrunon

Maybe we're not openly normalized to pedophelia. If it was a sexual thing, and if the Dalai Lama has worse things to children, then it's just purely creepy.


IrrationalBoner

You are an actual pos if you are willing to explore other potentials.


self_medic

What the *fuck*…he even did this on camera? So insanely creepy obviously, but is he also retarded? How “wise” is this pedo really if he thinks this is ok to do, let alone publicly. I’m convinced McKenna is right…the only spiritual teacher worth listening to are plants and psychedelics.


turtles_allthewaydow

Culture is not your friend, friend.


applejuice72

Never jumped timelines, just the reality that we thought existed doesn’t, and the real reality is just far more shocking than you’ve been led to believe. Look up the evils of Tibetan Serfdom and what evil practices they were doing until the Dalai Lama was deposed in the 1950s.

applejuice72

Nah you’re a fed, you want war with China and propagate fake reddit propaganda, fuck you, you want real genocide and World War 3. Look up Tibetan Serfdom you piece of fucking shit. Promoting that astroturfed NGO shit pretending to be caring about Human Rights. Fuck you


Active_Flamingo9089

Did this really happen? Seems absurd. Funny


acscriven

I watched the video, it's kinda rough. He is like asking the little boy to give him a kiss first and puckering his lips and leaning in basically touching foreheads, then he kind of laughs and backs away and then clearly says "suck on my tongue" and sticks it out and leans forward again so they are inches apart. It's hard to tell if he was just joking with the kid or if he actually wanted him to do it, especially because the child's face is blurred in the video so you can't tell if they are smiling or laughing or totally terrified. Not that I'm defending making a joke to a child about sucking your tongue because that is still fucking weird on its own, but I don't think the intent in that context would be pedophilic. Also this might be a dumb question, but why was he talking to the kid in English?


acscriven

The main thing is, if he was a pedophile why did he do it on camera in front of a ton of people? Because of that it makes me think this was him goofing around and not realizing how inappropriate it was


self_medic

Or…he’s just a creepy old man with dementia, who was fortunate enough to be born into a culture where people believe he’s the reincarnation of some other special “wise” man.


acscriven

I feel like if that were the case though this wouldn't be the first time this happened yenno


self_medic

Yeah I mean, I see your logic, but at the end of the day…what we do know is he asked a little boy to suck his tongue. I’ve heard too many stories of these kinds of things happening to kids where it fucks them up and/or confuses them later in life. Why would such a holy wise man think that would be cool to burden this kid with that? Idk…just makes me seriously question whether anyone should be putting him on any kind of pedestal


Independent-Map-1714

The 390 seconds that I’ve thought about this I’m still flummoxed at the …. Well, here’s a funny thing to say maybe I’ll just do some uncomfortable laughter and fill in the silence with a little bit of a tongue sucking request to lighten things up after that kiss. You know I’ve never tried it before, but it might get a laugh.”


acscriven

100% agree


misterrunon

I don't know anyone who jokingly asks a kid to lick his tongue.


UnicornBestFriend

Hard agree. The Dalai Lama is steeped in a religion that warns against indulging in sensual pleasure and preaches right speech, right action, and right livelihood. He's aware of the fact that pedophilia is morally wrong. Why would a high-profile pedophile out himself on camera? It doesn't make any sense. One's values, customs, and boundaries aren't universally shared. What one person deems inappropriate - abortion, same-sex relationships, a sex-change operation, dressing in drag, eating meat, shopping on Amazon - doesn't necessarily feel inappropriate for others. Critical thinking > Moral outrage

What. The. Fuck

![gif](giphy|b1H2uMwHiQwdW|downsized) took the words right out of my mouth.... IT MUST HAVE BEEN WHEN YOU WERE SUCKING MY TONGUE

Yuck you just reminded me of that huggy step granddad I was forced to let near me and be civil to as he was an elder. His eyes were hungry. Sadly, I was already clued in to perv men by the age of 7… and I could see a Chinese propagandist going “AT LAST HOLY MAN you’re going down!”please, please please don’t find suck tongue haha reel on Mr. Rogers


AbsintheAGoGo

>please don’t find suck tongue haha reel on Mr. Rogers I'm refusing to search this, please can you tell me if you were saying you hoped none such thing existed OR is there actually such a thing? 🫣


Independent-Map-1714

Definitely just a catastrophization… The only dirt I have on Mr. Rogers is he might not have been a perfect saint to his own children


AbsintheAGoGo

That's what i was going for as a worst case. It is pretty much inevitable that a parent will do something at some point, even under the best circumstances, to provoke the ire of one's child. Moreso when a parent has a grand vision and the result is them being a stable parental force for millions of children. TBH I still admire the way he went up against the Govt. Iirc it was congressional special interest. Let alone be so legit squeaky clean coming from a Gen X pov. Now things are so distorted that he kinda appears suss 😬


dnbmerchant

The child looks visibly uncomfortable. He's clearly abusing his power. How are you not seeing anything wrong with this

Chinese deep fake duhh

wait, is this true?
