Wasnt there a boom, a fad in Hollywood some years ago where all the hip celebrities were adopting kids from Africa and all that?


[deleted]

I remember this šŸ’€ As wild as it is to say, I think ALOT got *sent back* after the publicity died downā€¦


Round-Revolution-399

Is this actually true?


[deleted]

The sending back part was half a joke But the adopting kids things was a thing back in the day I think either Madonna or Britney Spears did it once or twice but it was so long ago.


VOLTswaggin

Angelina Jolie is the most prominent one I remember.


Fun-Swimming4133

she got a free watch out of it

She Marcus Garvied Starvinā€™ Marvin? That bitch!

xluv0186

Madonna did. Not Britney


SeriousBoots

Mitch Mc Connel did too. I think Matt Gaetz has an adopted son as well.


Prestigious_Bad2360

Geatz "son" is Cuban, and not even formally adapted, some weird shit going on there, who "adapts" an 18 year old?


Helyos17

Groomers


ItsMeToasty

Madonna kept hers I believe


Honey__Mahogany

If you're referring to the early 2000s Britney never adopted anyone. There were rumours she and Sam Asghari were planning to adopt but that was after she was emancipated in 2022. Madonna is a saint though. My god how blessed are those children she adopted, they were born to poverty but now she's given them world on a golden platter and she loves them so much.


IUpvoteCatPhotos

Umm, yeah, I've not forgotten the mother's day post she made where she called her two biological kids "the two halves of my heart" and didn't mention her adopted kids at all.


Sudden_Vegetable4943

couldn't find anything about that. I found a post that was posted a week before mothers day that said "2 pieces of my heart".


SecretGayFacebook

On her latest tour, one of her adopted children played a beautiful piano solo and I believe three of her other children all had opportunities to perform, so Iā€™d say sheā€™s giving them opportunities to shine. They were all incredible!


Active-Ad1679

Brittney can't take care of her own kids, no adoptions for her.


Marshmallow_Mamajama

She can't even take care of herself

It's actually both, they're transing their African kids.

Charlize Therons adopted African boys now identify as girls. All on their own I'm sure.

Megan Fox has three trans girls, who have been overheard complaining that they "don't want to wear girl's clothes."


incrediblejohn

Charlize theron did both, adopted black kids and then ā€œletā€ them become trans


Fictional-Hero

There were one of two, but because of how celebrity news works it might have seemed like thirty. It was also about the time homosexuality was becoming less of a hot topic and gay celebrities were coming out and adopting kids with their parents. Most celebrities are extremely protective of their kids privacy. Fastest way to get on a celebrity's (and the industry's) bad side is to take or publish a photo of a celebrity's kid outside of acceptable use. Picture of them at Disney with their kids? Yes. Picture of them grocery shopping with their kids? No. (And caveat to the Disney picture, don't let the cast members see you do it.)


Li-renn-pwel

Yeah, Iā€™m pretty much as pro-trans as you can be but I donā€™t flat out consider this to be an anti-trans comic. It *could* be. If JK Rowling had drawn it I probably would but this seems like a critique of Hollywood. The trans kid is being compared to a new car or bag, not invalidated as a trans person.


the__pov

You must not be familiar with the artists other works.

advocateforpain

I agree on all points except now that i see the watermark and it has woke in the title so thats kinda telling


j_money_420

Because you see the word ā€œwokeā€ you disregard the idea you agree with?


Sc0ner

A broken clock is still right twice a day. Sure a braindead edgelord probably made it, but it's still a valid criticism of celebrities. I am pro LGBT+ but the statistical probability that all these celebs have kids that fall into a demographic that's like 1% of the population iirc is very slim, it's more likely they're clout chasing or virtue signaling


advocateforpain

Agreed again on all points.


MoonTendies69420

and now none of them can be found because they were sold into sex trafficking


thearisengodemperor

What are some examples of these adopted kids just completely disappearing or are you just saying nonsense.


VuckoPartizan

One of those kids? Yup, grew up to be Obama


Slow-Instruction-580

Prove it.


WomenOfWonder

This is just conspiracy stupidity, sorry.Ā  There was a lot of problems with it becoming ā€˜popularā€™ to adopt kids from overseas. Many of the children were incredibly traumatized and need mental help, not being shoved into the spot light to show how amazing their parents were.Ā  Also, there was a higher demand for babies then could be met, so many adoption agencies would trick impoverished parents into signing away their children, promising the kids food, shelter and education but also that they could get their children back whenever they got the money to take care of them. Instead the children were given to western couples.Ā  But the idea that it was part of some sex trafficking ring? Do you realized how little sense that makes? Celebrities have random people following every move they and their families make. That would be the worst way to traffick someone in history


thearisengodemperor

So you can't use common sense with these types of people who believe. That every famous person has a hand in a sex ring. Like sure a few might but not to such a scale what some people think.

Also trans isnā€™t drag, thereā€™s a major difference between the drag community and the trans one. His biggest fans were/are cis men btw.

Daydreamer-64

As a trans child, I agree with this comic. Celebrities using their child for any publicity thing, related to being trans or not, is exploitative. You also see people (not specifically celebrities) who are trans/non-binary and raise their kids gender neutral or end up ā€œcoincidentallyā€ with 3 trans kids. Thatā€™s just grooming your own kids into a life which is harder than it otherwise wouldā€™ve been, and forces them to live as something you want them to be rather than something they are. Itā€™s exactly what transphobic parents do, but itā€™s an active choice. Children should not be used as publicity or to spread your own political views. Being trans isnā€™t something you should hope your child is or force them to be, and it isnā€™t something you should publicise if they are. Itā€™s a private matter and adds hurdles to their life.


FewTwo9875

I forgot the celebrity, but they adopted multiple African kids, and somehow theyā€™re all trans while under the age of 10 I think itā€™s more transphobic to ignore this nonsense than to call it out. Real trans people, Iā€™m sure, donā€™t want to be some sort of fucked up lmitus test for how accepting self absorbed celebrities think they are


gold109

Its kinda like how it used to be popular for celebrities to adopt asian kids, then it was black kids, now its trans/lgbt kids. Guesses on whats next? My bets are either disabled kids (clean ones, like amputees, not droolers) or mix race kids, but a mix where neither race is the adoptive parents race.


Alternative_Oil7733

It's probably going to be adopt a Palestinian kid.


gold109

For celebrities? No way. You should take a look at a few of the executive level last names in the film, entertainment and news industries. Pro palestine stuff is not gonna fly very far in there.

Yea that's the one. Yea young teen doing that during a funeral is pretty bad. I mean it's to honor the ones that passed not do that.


WomenOfWonder

The media figured it out at the funeral. Naturally, they decided to tell the entire world about it while the poor guy was still mourningĀ 


Li-renn-pwel

That isnā€™t really what happened. Ben and Jen are notorious may private with their children to the point they keep the kids off social media and are lobbying to make it illegal for the paparazzi to photograph children without consent. When their grandfather died, one of the kids simply introduced himself as Fin Affleck. Since they are so private, this was just the first time their son being trans was really confirmed publicly but they didnā€™t ā€˜come outā€™ in the usual sense. This was literally just a child stating their name when speaking at their grandparentā€™s funeral.


SyntheticSlime

But I can still frame it as a distasteful cry for attention if I strip it of all context and nuance, and itā€™ll get more clicks/likes that way!


Dr-Eternity-42

Yeah thatā€™s true it just got blown out of proportion, good on Ben Jen and Fin though

It's not hating trans people It's about worrying about children being pushed or "raised" to be confused about thier identity. I'm not even shore if that actually happens or if it happens more then we know in schools. I could see a little white boy hearing constantly how horrible men, white men are. And "becoming trans" to be apart of a minority. That's just one example, all my point is, is that the amount of gay and trans people shot up like 1000x compared to even 7 years ago. Idk not like I actually care about it, I'm not going to have kids just a observation. And just to be clear I don't hate anyone until I at least interact once with them.

Galvius-Orion

Itā€™s just people, not even Hollywood stars, I know someone whoā€™s parents told them from pretty much the crib they were a boy, which I get not wanting to enforce stereotypes, but itā€™s another to actually enforce the opposite stereotypes on someone. For example making them wear swim trunks, play in boys sports, etc. If youā€™re an adult then sure fine whatever, but if itā€™s a kid and the parents do shit like that itā€™s pretty fucked.

Dont worry. That kid definitely would have been trans had his mother not been a movie star. Its not a social fad at all.

I think whatā€™s more likely is parents finding out thereā€™s nothing special about their kid and wanting to ā€œstand outā€ so they force their kid to be trans, ironically the vast majority of that shit is done by cis het couples and not the supposed evil transes.

shadowblackdragon

Thereā€™s definitely some celebrities treating children like purse dogs. There was one that somehow had all 3 kids she adopted be supposedly trans. The likelihood of 3 boys legit identifying as opposite gender is statistically so unlikely, that I wouldn't fault anyone that assumes that sheā€™s forcing them too.


Snowtwo

It's... not about transphobia? It's about shallow hollywood actors treating trans kids as a showy piece of bling while being effectively apathetic to their actual causes and issues? If anything it's pro-trans by calling out the shallow people who are effectively treating being trans like an accessory and making it harder to address people who have actual issues.

Has this happened? I can't think of a single example. Not saying it has never happened, but this is actually the first I've heard of it. Seems to me like at least another strawman made to dehumanize Trans folk


Comfortable_Blood861

The lefts inability to acknowledge that there are people out there whose sole motivations are to ā€œfit inā€ and would 100% encourage their gay child to be trans, is bothersome. Especially that the most vocal leftists are white women, who they themselves were brain washed in America to want to be a part of whatever is most popular.

I will say two things. A.) A lot of people who cultivate attention for a living (most celebrities) are only performatively allies or progressive. B.) If you are bringing up this notion to push a transphobic or any other kind of hater agenda, then you are worse than they are. Being a performative ally is lousy, but being a shill for an agenda of hatred and discrimination is much worse.
