I just made quick research for wtf is happening because it's first time i hear of this.

Its some dump shit done by teenagers. There is zero seriousness in this, most of the tiktoks i saw was done by girls.

It's like those, all of them. They just walk to this song and walk.

(There was link to ticktok here, reddit dont want it)

Boys, pretend to to be "policeman patrolling", girls play into it by being "sexy" enough to be patrolled.

Kinda hilarious that it will make us to look like taliban, while it opposite of that

I would give you most popular tiktocks of this, but reddit automod delete them

Teenagers are children who are testing the limits of what is permissible. They are literally looking for what they can and cannot do in society. And these childish games are not really harmful right now. However, teenagers will grow up and continue to perceive such things as normal, and that is when the real problems will begin.

And we have a choice- to ignore it now and deal with the consequences later, or to explain to them that such things are not normal.

It may be framed as a joke but this is giving off anything but positive fun vibes. The fact that someone is making kids take photos of young girls in light clothing without their consent and post them online is already giving off strong pedo vibes. And that not even getting into the misogynistic, christofacist aspect of it.

Nip that shit in the bud and don’t try to justify it, seriously.

That's absolutely not what is described in any article I could find on the matter but it doesn't surprise me at all that a Polish person would try to dismiss this.

Most girls are filmed without consent, and the comments online are absolutely not funny.

Quote: "Girls become the subject of vulgar comments, and authors create special accounts where voting for the "worst shon" takes place."

Poland is a disturbingly conservative country, and your whitewashing won't convince anyone otherwise.

You're quite a good example of prejudice, bigotry, and an inability to process what is actually said in the article.

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

This more to your liking?

"Children harm other children by posting their accounts found on social media, describing them in a vulgar way, and voting which of them is a worse 'shonik'. There are also gender-analogous accounts with 'babiarz or cw*mi' on which boys are also harmed. We hear about the first suicide of a girl posted on such a website, but we are confirming these 'reports' at the moment, she confessed."

The former article states:

"Although it might seem that it is mainly boys who initiate such activities, in fact, girls also take part in 'shon patrols.'"

The latter one adds:

"There are also accounts of the opposite gender where boys are also harmed."

Neither article suggests that this behavior is somehow condoned or defended by officials, any church reps, etc whatsoever.

So again, what’s your point aside from exemplifying prejudices and bias, which is clear enough already?

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

Why would I argue with someone like you who's made up their mind already? Especially about talking points I never even mentioned?

Nice try though, 2/10.

u/Critterer 1d ago

You seem to be the one mind made up? I've read up and arrived at same conclusion of other posted.

u/Footz355 1d ago

Well, have it your way, finally Poland is not safe. Don't come here. Bye

u/VeryProidChintu 1d ago

Lol defensive much?

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

I'm an EU citizen, and within the EU I can decide for myself where I will or won't go. Bye.

u/Footz355 1d ago

Good we have border checks again then.

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

And you think they stop letting German citizens into the country because you're upset over a Reddit post? Lmao

-6

u/Footz355 1d ago

Why so desperatly want to come to a country with "catothaliban police"? lol

7

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

I don' think that would be any of your business.

1

u/Footz355 1d ago

The same with what is going on in Poland for you. You deal with your own issues. I think your country has more than enough problems to deal.

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

The same with what is going on in Poland for you.

This is the Europe subreddit.

If you want to share something about Germany here, it is certainly within the rules.

OK then.

htt ps:// www .tik tok. com/tag /shonpatrol

There, remove blank spots go to damn tiktok and find me even one were they harras anyone.

Or find my any video from any side, from your articles too, that show any harassment

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

The whole premise is sexist and creepy af, and I definitely won't read through all the comments.

The fact that some girls are leaning into it to please the braindead boys coming up with this backwater nonsense doesn't really mean anything.

-17

u/Angry-Sek-man Poland 1d ago

Girls are leaning into it because its social game, made by and made for teenagers. Both boys and girls play they roles into it.

Look at that tiktok i posted before, 80% of vids are made by girls. Girls are carrying entire thing, and they do by placing themself into position of power "yeah, im sexy bitch, to try to partoll me"

Half of people in this thread act as if those are sanctioned by church or something

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

Girls are leaning into it because its social game, made by and made for teenagers. Both boys and girls play they roles into it.

Some girls are leaning into any and all shit in various societies, from Hijabs to titty flashing at Mardi Gras.

That doesn't mean a custom, tradition or trend can't be toxic.

Look at that tiktok i posted before, 80% of vids are made by girls. Girls are carrying entire thing, and they do by placing themself into position of power "yeah, im sexy bitch, to try to partoll me"

I think you're not quite aware that the person in the video is not necessarily the person filming. Of course the people in the videos are girls, that doesn't mean it's their initiative.

u/Angry-Sek-man Poland 1d ago

Then show me even one dam video of harrasment, one

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

Then educate yourself in your "research":

u/Angry-Sek-man Poland 1d ago

Again, i dont care about opinion pieces posted on some portals for clicks.

They showed nothing, show me real video of harasment. I send you link with +1000 of them,

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

I don't care what a Polish nationalist trying to sanitise his country's image wants to believe.

I don't waste time with people like you. The article had very specific examples, which you chose to ignore.

Because in your rotten brain the image of your home country is more important than the wellbeing of young girls.

That says a lot about you.

I don't watch tiktoks.

Also my post wasn't serious. Not sure why people upvote it

0

u/Angry-Sek-man Poland 1d ago

Yeah, i guessed as much.

Pretty funny tbh, i upvoted too for that reason

You are not a problem, problem are those brainrotted by culture war and just jump to conclusions even if looking for confirmation of information is simply googling #szonpartol and just looking at said "patrols".

Edit.

I just used your comment to fight against misinformation, since it was on the top.

11

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

No one but you is spreading misinformation based on triggered nationalism.

u/Angry-Sek-man Poland 1d ago

What? What nationalism ? Where the hell that accusation even come from?

7

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

You're obviously Polish, which is why it's so important to you to downplay this.

-1

u/Angry-Sek-man Poland 1d ago

Yeah i am and i don't downplay this,

i absolutely negate any idea of this being anything more than kids game

u/TimTebowMLB 1d ago

Because it’s Reddit. They have strong feeling about shit they don’t know anything about.
