Photo: Facebook / Torben Chris
The net is outraged: This photo of a father in the bathtub excites the mind
Torben Chris is a celebrated Danish comedian and loving father. And that's why he posted a photo of himself and his daughter in a very ordinary situation. But for many this situation does not seem so commonplace. Very quickly, the pedophilia allegations were loud. Justified? We think: no!
That's the photo that's about it. Torben Chris with his two-year-old daughter in the bathtub. Both are naked - what else?
Jeg har aldrig fået mere positive respons på nogen joke, end the jed lavede om NØGENHEDSFORSKRÆKKELSE i with one man show ...

About 2000 times the photo was commented and not only positive. A user is annoyed that Chris is sitting naked with his legs apart in the bathtub with a two-year-old. "Does not that feel wrong?" He asks. What's wrong with a father sitting in the tub with his daughter? Or the other way around: Which father wears bathing shorts while bathing with his daughter?
The stumbling block was also his current comedy program, in which he parodies the consternation of the Danes. Above all, experiences of fathers who were described as pedophile and told Chris after the show scared the comedian. That's why he also posted the very personal photo. His message: "Children and adults can be naked together. ... If we can not stand to see each other naked, we would have been born in clothes. [...] Nudity with your child is not disgusting, but Naturally."
We think: that's right! For if people find it offensive when fathers bathe with their daughters, we may soon have to open separate beaches by the sea; fathers are no longer allowed to wrap their little daughters or steal them in a bed. Because these are all things that fathers and daughters do. And it is only the people who see something evil or bad in the process. Therefore, one should first question his own attitude before criticizing fathers.
