did you just feel that? this photo truly packs a punch. but the baby’s expression is cloaked in ambiguity. it COULD be interpreted as purely innocent glee.
in this scenario, this baby could be joyously welcoming the smaller baby (lack of a body and all). perhaps, the baby loves the other baby NOT IN SPITE of his differences BUT BECAUSE of them. in this version, the BTCOB lifestyle displayed would remind us to be advocates for tolerance and outreach. the baby is recognizing the body-less baby’s need to be taken care of and does not hesitate to tap into his altruistic nature and to do so with a goofy grin to put the other baby at ease.
but then again, the marker strokes on the baby’s head indicate some signs of abuse and the way in which the big baby is gripping the head baby seems unnecessarily aggressive, which is incredibly disconcerting. i wanted to give that baby the benefit of a doubt but i’m pretty positive that baby just ripped the head off of another baby.
in which case, this is the COMPLETE ANTITHESIS to BTCOB. i do not condone this kind of behavior. use this unfortunate case as a cautionary tale to protect the others who need to be taken care of.
