Yes, it's extremely shocking. This kind of teenage circumcision gets practiced in Africa as well, sometimes with extremely severe and disfiguring outcomes for those involved.

Every year across sub-Saharan Africa, hundreds of thousands of boys and young men submit to initiation ceremonies. The specifics vary, but typically youths will spend weeks living near-naked in temporary shelters with minimal sleep, food and water. After the operation the penis is bound tightly with sisel leaves.

The human devastation left in the wake of these traditions is horrifying. A recent report by South Africa’s Commission for the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Cultural, Religious and Linguistic Communities calculated that in the Eastern Cape and Limpopo provinces alone at least 419 boys have died since 2008, and more than 456,000 initiates have been hospitalised with complications.

Deaths commonly occur through dehydration, blood loss, shock-induced heart failure or septicaemia. And there are estimated to be two total penile amputations for every death. Countless numbers of participants are left with permanent scarring or deformity. Urologists describe seeing patients whose penises have become so infected and gangrenous they literally drop off.

I just followed MR. and saw this. Dude I was circumcised in the PH when I was 10. It fucking hurts you can’t even get hard. Ughhh I hate it I should’ve kept my foreskin.

Circumcision in the Phillipines is a 200 year old remnant of Islam. Ridicule is used as a tool to pressure it to be done and as a result some of the most botched circumcisions occur there often by the unqualified out of desperation.

It is primitive backwardness that has been attempted to be hidden under the guise of culture.

You know what? As fucked up as what these people do is, I'd rather have faced "extreme pressure" at the age of 13 to undergo mutilation than have if forced on me when I was an infant. At least at thirteen, you have level of agency. If enough of these young lads said "fuck this", then it would die out. It prevails in the western world, though, because the babies who are mutilated are tricked into thinking they were done a favour when then grow up.

+= did you know Muslims circumsise at 13yo? My aunt has this horrifying story of her best friend getting dragged off to be forcefully circumsised infront of his whole family.

Ya, this is what happens when you don't follow the old testament properly. I don't understand why Americans circumsise, I don't understand why Muslims wait so long, I guess other cultures have discovered the process themselves and that's fine I guess.. but unless you have a good reason I don't understand why most goys get circumsised.

As a filipino who grew up in the states, I say I’m fine with it. That may be just my traditional-ass talking, but it very well is an old tradition. Hell, it’s not only Islamic tradition. Jewish people go snip snip as well.
