David Beckham is under fire for posing a sweet picture with daughter Harper. The pictures show Beckham giving a peck to his daughter on the lips and the internet is not happy.

While others give a shut-up call to all these people questioning such an innocent picture.
Fans Defend David Beckham After He Shares Picture Kissing Daughter Harper On The Lips
The 46-year old England soccer legend has once again made it to the headlines after he posted a picture next to his daughter, 10-year old Harper.
Beckham posted a fun picture with his daughter, and captioned the post: "Daddy & Princess Leia had a lovely walk this morning." In one snap they can both be seen smiling into the camera, and in the other, they share a kiss.
The post went viral on social media with some 1.6m likes and nearly 8000 comments. However, not all the likes and comments were with love and appreciation. Instead, the picture sparked a debate over whether or not it is appropriate for a parent to kiss their child on the lips.
The Internet took a dig at Beckham for kissing his daughter on the lips
One Instagram user commented: "Wait, what!? Why do families kiss on the lips?"
And a second added: "Although this is very sweet please do not kiss your daughter on the lips."
A third person commented: "She is a big girl now time for you to stop kissing her on the lips."
Fortunately, the positive comments outweighed the critical, and Beckham was flooded with support for the way he chooses to show love to his family.
"Kiss you daughter on the lips as much as you like," one fan wrote. "I’m 43 and I still kiss my parents on the lips."
Another supporter added: "I’m sorry but anyone who interprets this as anything other than family has serious issues they need to address asap!"
One Instagram user commented: "There is nothing more special than the miracle of having children. There is nothing more important than showing love to your child and nothing more amazing than your child showing you love back. A kiss/peck on the lips at any age is love been shown to one another."
Others were a little more forthright in their defense of Beckham, such as this person who wrote: "To anyone calling this weird - she’s 10 and she’s giving her dad a kiss. Get a grip and shut up."
"There is no better bond than a dad and his daughter," another fan wrote. "Love her, support her, embrace her, and kiss her however you see fit!"
However, few sane people called out the people to stop with their ugly thinking
Finally, this Instagram user added: "Disgusted by the comments and actions of some people all over a picture of a loving father kissing his daughter. This world is a sad place to live in these days."
