I keep seeing videos lately of grown men posing as children online and baiting individuals to public spaces and either assaulting them or recording/exposing them for content. While I don’t mind the idea of a predator being outed, the idea of grown adults posing as children online seems unsavory to me. Especially if their end goal isn’t to protect children, and is to provide content for views.
Obviously, being a child predator is wildly immoral and illegal and their actions are not what’s being debated.
This happened to someone I know.
Don’t know the full details, but apparently he ended up going to prison for it even though nothing actually happened, as obviously there wasn’t an actual child involved.
He’s kind of a fuck up, but mostly just kinda stupid and with an alcohol problem.
Is he a predator and therefore one of the most evil people on the planet? I don’t think so.
He’s a fuck up who’s never had success with women, and someone reached out and was kind and interested in him.
idk how to feel about it tbh. I know a lot of people online will just blanket say he’s a monster, but it’s different when it’s a real person you know.
I’ve got a fuck up friend who goes for young women because he is actually on their level. Legal young, but young. He would easily respond to a pretty 15 yo without asking for age.
