I keep seeing videos lately of grown men posing as children online and baiting individuals to public spaces and either assaulting them or recording/exposing them for content. While I don’t mind the idea of a predator being outed, the idea of grown adults posing as children online seems unsavory to me. Especially if their end goal isn’t to protect children, and is to provide content for views.
Obviously, being a child predator is wildly immoral and illegal and their actions are not what’s being debated.
So unless someone was willing to rob an old person, this wouldn’t be a problem.
Opportunity makes the thief. These people are intentionally trying to get people to commit a crime that might have never otherwise have happened, just so they can beat someone up and/or create content for their channels. That is morally wrong.
People have agency dude.
That goes for both sides. If that agency leads you to provoke a crime and beat someone up for content, that’s pretty fucked up.
Yeah if someone needs an ulterior motive to beat up a pedo, they are the gross one.
They should do it without fanfare and showmanship.
