Good! Wish it was longer. These fucking assholes need to learn that actions have consequences.

[–] nulluser@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

More than that. They need to learn how to behave like a civilized person in society.

It sounds horrible, but I think we lost something when we made it impossible to get away with fighting someone for doing stupid shit. There's too many cameras now and, even if they started it by doing something antagonistic, you'll be arrested and held accountable because they technically didn't assault you. If this happened in like the 50s (discounting race and everything else, only his actions), he'd get his ass kicked. Everyone around would likely support it.

Now, the only social system to punish them is shaming, and shaming them is exactly what they want. Shaming them gives them publicity. Publicity gets them money. Literally the best option is to ignore them, which absolutely does nothing to stop it, but at least it doesn't encourage it.

I'm not saying we should go back to the 50s. I'm only saying that sometimes people need consequences, like you said. If the legal system can't provide it, we need an extra-legal solution, and we don't have that anymore. We did in the past, though it was often used for evil (lynching and lots of racist/homophobic/other-phobic stuff), it also served a purpose.

[–] MonkeMischief@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Agreed. Shame is weaponized by the shameless, especially in our "attention as currency" culture, and other consequences are necessary to maintain a polite self-policed society. I think a lot of laws about this kind of thing were written for legal expediency over sociological improvement.

I do believe some places have "mutual combat" and "fighting words" clauses.

Basically, if you're willingly antagonizing and harassing somehody with insults and/or threats, especially depending on severity, they get some leeway in shutting you up if asking nicely doesn't help.

Mutual combat is basically the law being looser when "two people agreed to fight each other" which, I dunno, it felt worth mentioning lol.

Unfortunately I think we're seeing a breakdown of humans keeping each other in check and willingness to act based on a severely litigious society (engaging with the law can quickly ruin your life even if you're innocent), and adult expectations mimicking the inneffectual "zero tolerance" policies of failed school systems, where any physical contact for any reason is your fault, and you're supposed to go tattle to government and let them slowly do nothing if somebody is being a problem.

On one hand, you're right, at least this legal framework somewhat prevents mobs of violent vigilantes enforcing their views on others, but also it cushions and lessens the burden of responsibility from malignant social parasites (like this guy, and the ones in office).

*I assert that this comment is entirely opinion and I'm by no means a lawyer. This should be obvious because Internet. Lol

Not for long enough. Shame that Japan didn't have the balls to do it when he was a being a dick here.

[–] Snowcano@startrek.website 16 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I still don’t know how he didn’t get the living shit beat out of him when he was in Osaka.

[–] Vile_port_aloo@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Sure people tried, just slapping about and I assume he enjoyed the attention. Like the other Vile social media guy that got arrested in Thailand ( Asia) when he gets out he'll just be even more vile.

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because in Japan, they'd be had for battery. Even self defense in Japan as defined as enough, and only enough, to flee in most cases; punching someone who punches you doesn't qualify if you can remove yourself from the situation otherwise.

[–] Snowcano@startrek.website 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Oh yeah, I’m aware. But there are plenty of dudes down here that probably wouldn’t have hesitated anyway had they crossed paths with this idiot.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 50 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Fucker only had 5k of followers. That's as many as a guy I know who does Battletech videos. Dumbass.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 23 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I wonder how many my streamer friend has? I assume less than that, but he is much more bearable than this fucker. Brb.

Edit: Nope! 5.2k. Big fucking lol!

Later edit: his name is "crittxr" he mainly does destiny 2, but I know he plays other shit too.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

as someone who loves me some Battletech/Mechwarrior please share.

My ex wife boyfriend channel. He actually got me into the game. It pretty fun. Haven't painted my mechs yet but planning on it.

[–] antaymonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Apparently I am already subbed to that channel.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Cool! Sorry he hasn't posted much lately he has been going through some things.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 1 week ago

Fuck me, i've got more tumblr followers

Seriously? Only 5k? I have more followers than this motherfucker, and I’m just a casual shitposter.

[–] Shortstack@reddthat.com 49 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We should send more influencers on a south Korean vacation

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"You know how to REALLY get views? Go to NORTH Korea!"

[–] Elshender@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 week ago

You're not wrong. I would pay to watch asshole influencers get arrested in North Korea...

[–] mr_anny@sopuli.xyz 34 points 1 week ago
[–] Hawk@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Distributing sexual deepfakes".

Yeah, that sounds a lot more serious than simply harassing people, yet it's only mentioned for a single sentence here.

[–] rwrwefwef@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

simply harassing people

[–] pan0wski@infosec.pub 28 points 1 week ago

While I'm glad he got the sentence I was sure that he would get more, especially after all the disrespect he showed during trial.

[–] dyathinkhesaurus@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He sounds like an attention whore.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

actually a Clout WHORe, hes trying to gain noteriety so he can grift off of viewers. he isnt EVEN original at all, other influencers have tried the same thing he has and failed. he aint no mr beast, ksi, or sniperwolf.

[–] Reygle@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago

Good, no notes

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Can they keep him longer? Please?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 16 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well not really for public nuisance, it was about "distributing sexual deepfakes".

Oh but I am sure threatening the judge thing did not help.

[–] kunaltyagi@programming.dev 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He was kicked out of japan for public nuisance, licking ketchup bottles in restaurants, etc.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

dam hes trying anything to get clout lol. maybe he should do OF/porn instead.

[–] rozodru@piefed.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

dumbass is just going to treat it like a twitch ban and is looking forward to 6 months from now on his first stream back where he's going to get a shit ton of viewers and thus a lot of money.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Twitch didn't ban him permanently for harassing people in public as part of his content?

I guess they still have the Nazi WoW player that thinks he's a political streamer still though. So I guess I'm not surprised.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

asmongold i assume, who tries to look like both side, he hasnt done anything as stupid as they "prank streamers"

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago

He said Palestinians deserved to be genocided. So, I'd say he's up near the top of the worst piece of shit streamers. Definitely the top if you're considering audience size too.

[–] Codpiece@feddit.uk 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don’t suppose there’s any prisoner swaps with North Korean hard labour camps is there?

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Fair is fair... North Korea was sending balloons filled with garbage over the border for a while - might be time to send some back.

[–] wheezy@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago

Might be able to work something out. The South Korean president is trying to normalize relations with the North and formally end the war I believe.

I mean. The entire world needs to apologize to the leaders of the North. At least on world politics matter. They literally got nukes, flexed them, and then left the rest of the world alone only to be proven correct about the need to obtain nukes to remain sovereign and not get invaded.

Iran and Ukraine learned the hard way.

If you have nukes, don't give them up! Even if you don't have launch codes. Doesn't matter. Don't give up those nukes.

If you don't have nukes but someone says "they're trying to build nukes"; you fucking build nukes as fast as possible. Even if you had no plans to.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Now the rest of the world can do the rest of the vapid cunts

[–] lechekaflan@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Fucking sociopath.

[–] finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When he finishes his sentence, I hope he goes to China next. They have a history of great tolerance with people who disrupt the social order.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

china is a little bipolar, they seem some westerners useful to them, if they make companies look good, pratically a propaganda tool. i dont he would be useful in china. the Whiter the better, but they will go for a POC if they are rich or famous.

[–] tacoplease@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

A face that should be used to hammer a piece of wood into a baseball bat.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

this is a 25yo who is late to the game lol, usually people begin around 17-19 and already make it big by the time of 25.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Ya'll realize that hating on this dude is tantamount to contributing to his Patroon, right? He's a rage-baiter and judging by the comments, a quite good one.

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Saying someone is a good rage baiter when their shit posting puts them in prison is like saying Timothy Treadwell was good at taking care of bears

[–] HellsBelle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

I'm on a Herzog kick atm so got the reference. Otherwise I would have been down a rabbit hole in a heartbeat.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 week ago

How's that?
