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.

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?

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

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

u/Footz355 1d ago

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

u/EquipmentAdorable982 1d ago

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

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

This is the Europe subreddit.

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

I won't lower myself to your level by judging your country because of some episodes barely anyoone has heard about, and I'm sure I could quote some for Germany. If the culprits will get reported I'm sure the police will take care of it.

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.

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

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

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.

7

u/Angry-Sek-man Poland 1d ago

They have no examples, this whole 90% of this thing is just watching videos on tiktok.

They have same amount of material as you and me, they, just like you talking about some hypothetical scenarios.

Again show me one video of harassment, any source.

You can't because there is nothing, because those articles are being written by people who dont like vibe of the thing.
