Obligatory PSA that he is allegedly* a sex tourist with highly dubious practices off-camera.

what service does this announcement do to the public exactly


Perhaps people may not want to watch content made by an alleged rape apologist.


You aren’t saying very much. What is a rape apologist in this context?


He takes advantage of lower socioeconomic status women in poor countries with uneven gender dynamics and makes a jokey travel vlog in between. He has also given the classic "it's basically their fault" argument.


Which countries?

Arguably, women of post-socialist (Slavic) countries have comparatively higher socioeconomic status and comparatively more even gender dynamics that these in the West.

For a dedicated sexual predator, it would be much easier to just head directly to Thailand or similar.


Arguably, all you need to do is look at GDP. Even looking at Germany, the east/west split is evident - and that was 45 years of soviet regime.

Furthermore are you saying that behavior in Thailand is acceptable? What is the point of mentioning it otherwise? Before I found out these allegations I unfortunately watched videos of him in South America as well as India. He walks around like a Belgian in 19th century colonial Congo.


GDP is a poor signal because these huge middle class salaries for breadwinners in the US, Japan and S. Korea actually held gender balance back for decades. Wife will be expected to quit her job and dedicate herself to the family when her husband made five figures USD annually.

Countries where both sexes were expected to work, for the same ballpark of four figures salaries, and where child care / child leave were subsidied becase of said lowish salaries got a comparative gender balance advantage out of their mediocre economies.


Russia. Here is a post lining up his reporting and his sexpat account in Vorkuta, Vorgashor, Kotlas.

Unless he broke any laws explicitly I don't see a problem. Dating in Russia is not forbidden.


Is he?

Do you not have a more reliable source than youtube videos summarized by a LLM?
