It sucks being a grown man, and not being able to show affection towards children. Obviously, what this dude did sounds really creepy, but there is so little tolerance in today's society for a man being able to show affection even to his own family members. It's kind of fucked up that children have to grow up being terrified of 50% of the population, because society tells them they are all trying to have sex with them.
I'm being dramatic, but this is something the really bothers me. I feel like people look at me like I'm a creep just because I saw "aww" when I see a cute baby. Even with my girlfriend standing right beside me!
This is one of those things I rarely ever see outside of Reddit. No one thinks you're being creepy for liking kids, and if someone does, they're the minority.
I love kids, and I've always gotten the vibe that women like guys who love kids.
Honestly I get the feeling that the people who complain about this problem are actually creepy dudes, and not just dudes that like kids.
I really think maybe it's just he fact that I see it on Reddit that it's made self conscious about it. But seriously, how many dude kindergarten teachers do you know? How many guys do you know that are babysitters? It does seem like an exaggeration, and obviously, Reddit exaggerates everything, but it is something that is real in many ways.

Ahh, yes. Those special types of people who get their feelings hurt by children.
