ita, that was just plain mean.

Actually I was sort of expecting Butterfly Kisses (which is new to me) to be incestly squicky, from everyone's extreme ew reactions, so the merely maudlin and gooey is a step up from my imaginiation.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Sharing the "Butterfly Kisses" squick...waaay too much sap for its own good.

Thank you, flea. It's saccharine, absolutely. I really don't understand where the huge gross-out is coming from.
Edited to ask: WHY IS IT SQUICKY??? Seriously. I do not understand, and people just keep saying eww, and not explaining.
I'm beginning to think you are all perverts, and twisting it into something it's not.

Trust my rage
I wouldn't use squick to describe my dislike of Butterfly Kisses. I have no problem with the kisses themselves, but the song is just way too sappy for my taste.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

The hell with the anti-spam thing, I want one of these.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am squicked, because we don't do sap like that in my family. There's not a moment in that song that I can envision even being related to, much less being myself. It doesn't charm, or comfort, or tug my heartstrings. It's Precious Moments of parenting to me.

It is squicky for me because I give butterfly kisses on the tummy, with eyelashes, and the thought of a daddy doing that to his daughter on her wedding day is just ewwwww.
(Even in the lyrics she says "Not on the mouth, Daddy", which would tend to imply he gives butterfly kisses on the mouth.)
I think where you kiss kids is a cultural thing; I've grown up places where you kiss your little kids on the lips, but other people are totally squicked.

Thanks for the explanation, Nonian.
Maybe I have no problems with it because I first heard it when I was really little, and I loved butterfly kisses, and I rather wished that my dad was like the dad in the song. Also, I've never had a problem with sappiness, ever. I mean, BaRBiE+kEn4EvArrrr!!!!!!!!!, B/A4eVa!!!!!11!1!!!!, etc.
Other people are having extreme reactions that I don't get, though. Usually sappiness inspires mocking, not vomiting. So confusing.
