I disagree. I don't think he is doing it to get famous.
I don't trust that this guy is actively being inhumanely altruistic and using all his time to pretend to be an underage girl to catch child enthusiasts. He's either doing it for the business or to get off about how much of a good guy he is. Either way, he's a douchebag.
And they ARE being evil by going through with these meet ups. In fact, these creeps are LUCKY that that YouTuber busted them and not an actual officer.
Yeah great, some kid sees the video and asks "Hey, isn't this your dad?" and some kids life is ruined. If you actually believe people can be "evil" you're either a bible thumping handicap or lack understanding of human psychology.
Just because you've got stuff going on in your life does not make it okay to break the law and rape someone.
Yeah no stuff, It's not supposed to excuse the action, it's supposed to make you understand it. Place yourself in his shoes. In what situation would you react the way he did? Maybe this is totally out of character of him and he wanted to do something new. Maybe it's something else. We don't know, but he doesn't deserve to have his face put out in public and get characterized as a "disgusting creep" as if that's all he is.
It sounds like you and Block are the type of people with a "blame the victim" mentality.
Stop projecting.
In many countries, child enthusiasts and rapists are dealt with using street justice aka getting tied to a fence and beaten to death by men women and children alike. These guys should be happy they're just getting humiliated on the internet; it could be far worse for them if they lived in a third world country.
Keep in mind: by child enthusiasts i'm referring to adults who take advantage of the innocence of young children, not harmless people in their late teens-early twenties trying to date someone a year under the legal age limit. That stuff is alright as long as the younger one consents to it IMO
Ah, the "bigger problem" fallacy.
Are you aware of the fact that having love with young children is actually accepted in the middle east? Gandhi himself slept naked with young girls. What an evil man.
