YouTuber Abuse

[AlexanderTheGreat]

Okay so as many of you have seen people have come forward admitting to sexual abuse from certain youtubers. These youtubers include Alex Day, Sam Pepper and VeeOneEye. This kind of behavior is disgusting regardless of their fame and status as entertainers. The fact that they are entertainers and people look up to them as role models makes it worse. After recent events I hope many youtubers look and see that actions have consequences but I want to know your view on what is going on...

Also here are some links to videos and pages if you are unfamilar with the current events happening:

This is kinda related, I see what you mean, but I noticed that recently lots of youtube celebrities are going around getting fame with prank videos and there is a fine line of pranks that are funny and clever, and just stupidity.

For example there was one popular vid on youtube which featured these guys who do "pranks". The prank was one of the guys in the group would dress as an old lady and pretend to pass out in the middle of the street holding up traffic. Then when a driver or someone came up to him, he would scream and run away. The video ended with them getting arrested. Serves them right.

I have no problem with people on youtube who can do comedy right and it doesn't require doing stupid things. But I think fame gets to people and sometimes the fans are just as worse, I can understand. They will still support the people even though they are hurting others.

I'm glad that people are coming forward. Those people are disgusting violators. Sexual abuse is often delegitimized and the blame is put on the victims, especially people in the public eye. Violating people is not a prank. It's not a social experiment. It's not comedy. Yes, I'm looking at you Sam Pepper.
