    I don’t know who this guy is but don’t beat yourself up about it. There are so many YouTubers with decent content but problematic personalities/tendencies. It would be a full time job just to keep up with who is actually a dirtbag in disguise. Obviously we shouldn’t be supporting these creators once we find out they suck, but you shouldn’t be expected to research the creator of every video you find interesting.

      He isn’t even a dirtbag, just some english dude who apparently participated in the sex industry of another culture… whatever your thoughts on sex work are, calling him a rapist is unreasonable and his videos are still valuable

      His friend Harald Baldr is a douche cunt, which makes me question his integrity by association, but that’s not enough to judge him as a terrible person

        He’s absolutely a dirtbag and an Andrew Tater. He’s a menace. I need more pictures of him, Parker.

        It’s not that he hired a prostitute in another country, he did some really scummy stuff. One post he made on that pick up artist forum detailed how he gave a ride to some woman (who was not a sex worker, but was poor) at night, out in the middle of nowhere, and flashed her 20 bucks to make her give him a bj. He said in the post that the implication of her being alone out in the middle of nowhere helped coerce her into doing it for so little, or something like that. He’s a gross rapist as far as I’m concerned.

    Wasn’t saying anything about you, just this guy irks me with the way he documents his trips while doing some nasty shit behind the cameras. Its hard to know all the time who the person really is behind the fame so don’t feel bad or anything please.

      And for a reference this reddit post does a pretty good job of going over accusations and alleged events.

        Holy shit, that OP brought receipts.

        This was a very entertaining read, without knowing anything about the guy or having watched any of his videos. So many similar stories on the internet in different subcultures, when someone turns out to be a dick/criminal.
