Shamelessly stolen from r/sls
Is it really so hard to find a clean picture?

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Yeah I respect your experience but I think you're looking too much into it. "many kids love physical contact" (not all, some are very standoffish physically, you gotta learn each kids vibe) is one of the first things you figure out in child care. If your program has rules about that it can be very difficult because the kids will like autonomously, without asking, climb up on your thigh and pop a squat and thats technically against the rules but I personally feel really bad denying them appropriate physical affection that is on their terms. Thats why I dont like rules like that. And I think its largely good for kids as well, as long as its on their terms.
I don't get creepy vibes from this photo (I do get Nazi vibes obviously, but we're talking about something else). Just seems like normal family affection to me and a thigh is not inherently sexual. Seems like normal family affection to me. The fact that you would feel uncomfortable if a family member touched you there is valid but I dont think anything untoward is going on here.
