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

    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.
