There’s a reason Baby Talk videos exist on PornHub.

These fundy freaks are creepy AF.

Conservative Christianity has a fractal quality. There’s always another level of creepiness to be discovered, even when you’re absolutely, positively certain that it can’t get creepier than this.

Not just evangelical fundies. I have a devout Mormon cousin who has the same voice.

Betty Boop started out as a human/dog hybrid character. Coincidentally, the baby voice and the slavish loyalty of a dog suits Fundamentalist men.

The sound of my voice can sometimes be dysphoric for me. However I think I would absolutely enjoy purposely projecting my deepest baritone for a shout of “fuck off” towards these people. (I’m also thinking of a very lovely woman I know who cultivates a somewhat similar voice for her kink play – purposefully inverting the trope. I suspect the kinds of things she says in that voice would cause these fools to shrivel up and die!)

The inability of these people to understand parable and metaphor is disturbing. Have they conflated bible literacy with bible literalness?

I also found his nodding creepy. It’s as if he’s rewarding her for every “correct” statement.

I remember that book! It was horrifying … all decisions beyond what to cook for dinner were handed over to the husband.

ADDING: It’s also teaching woman how to be manipulative and controlling.

Betty was based on Helen Kane, who in turn basically ripped off the act of Harlem darling “Baby Esther” Jones. So lots of layers to unpack with that one.

I remember it from the fundie church my older sister attended … all those women and only one voice.

‘Infantilization’ is about much more than mere voice modulation.

Consider the possibility that you might be overlooking some of your own, right now; and how that might come across to women who are constantly being told that men know better than they do, about everything.

Looking for a context free puke gif that does not imply the situation is ridiculous. I’m not a monster.
