    Categorically No.

    I prefer classic sex scandals like Yewtree not your new fangled internet ones.

    I couldn't watch past 2 mins. Sounded like she was about to burst into tears at any moment.

    Well I hope the police look into it, and if the guy is guilty, that he is shown the inside of a jail cell. As I assume anybody would agree.

    I'm not exactly sure what the point of making a video is. Seems a bit like trying to start a witch hunt to me. That isn't to say that this sort of thing shouldn't be talked about, but when you name the people at least before the legal system gets involved, then I do think you've crossed a line. Maybe he deserves it.... but that isn't for me, or her, to decide.

    Yes, it's our age that's at fault here. Meanwhile you're the one receiving a college education but yet still following the inane yammerings of twerps on youtube.

    Makes you think, doesn't it?




















    No. It doesn't.

    What's the worst that could happen?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,439 ✭✭✭✭One eyed Jack


    All I saw in that video in the OP was some shameless self promotion by a young woman in front of a camera, complaining about young women being exploited by young men I'd never even heard of until I watched her video telling me not to watch their videos?

    Now I'm confused - should I watch their videos to see for myself what she's talking about, or should I take her word for it?

    I really couldn't care less about any YouTube "community" tbh, and if this young woman doesn't want to see these young men on YouTube, then she should practice what she preaches surely and avoid promoting them in her videos?


    Barbara Streisand effect anyone? Or just narcissistic and shameless self promotion...

    Nah, I still can't force myself to care about some YouTube "sex scandal".


    Shame on you OP for getting my hopes up like that. It's no Bill Clinton / Monica Lewinsky, is it?

    They seem more interested in using what allegedly happened to get some cheap views rather than to having the guy held responsible for what they allege.

    That video in particular stinks of attention seeking. She's like a first year drama student with her stupid hand gestures and head movements.

    Inb4 I'm accused of 'victim blaming' :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,182 ✭✭✭Sparko


    With the amount of editing on the video, how did she not correct herself saying "viligant" in the last few seconds..

    Not that it excuses the doucebag behaviour of Pepper, but her naivety is breathtaking.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,113 ✭✭✭shruikan2553


    If Sam Pepper is who I think it is Im more surprised he had sex with girls. I thought he was into the other gender.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,150 ✭✭✭kumate_champ07


    claimed she had felt uncomfortable during a date to the cinema with the YouTube star:"He tried to touch me around my chest area and I moved his hand away because I wasn't comfortable with that," she told Newsbeat.

    She said they did kiss and were holding hands, but the 25-year-old went too far.


    thats not sexual abuse, right?!

    yes..
    , he continued after she explicitly told him no.

    Sam Pepper is just a drop in the ocean, lots of the more prominent youtubers(like Alex Day and EdPlant) have also been caught up in it.. Sam Pepper only the most recent..

    Of courser if you're never on youtube, or an active user.. those names mean nothing..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,028 ✭✭✭✭--LOS--


    yeahhh when my housemate offered me to share his bed just to cuddle, I asked him to move out, she is either so naive or knowingly went along with it, is now regretting it and making up her own version of events

    Do you have any concept of the sheer volume of videos on YouTube?

    I regularly use YouTube, as many of us I suspect here do, and those names still mean squat, nothing. Perhaps it's because most people see YouTube as no different than any other digital medium and aren't so invested in the mediocre warbling and childish nonsense of a mere handful of self interested attention seekers.

    Their videos are the modern equivalent of "Do you know who I am?", to which the usual response is "No, I don't, and I really don't care who you are either".

    In the criminal justice system, sexually-based offences are considered especially heinous. On Youtube, the dedicated social justice warriors who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Attention Seeking Unit. These are their stories. DUN DUN.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,382 ✭✭✭AndonHandon


    So, YouTube vloggers used their YouTube "fame" to get dates with girls who commented on the videos then tried to sleep with the girls and some said no to the guys; now they are making their own videos talking about what creeps the guys were?
