Scott!

Do you have any thoughts on this trend of child predator confrontation content?

Notable recent additions to the creator pool include Lil Pump and Vitaly, who record themselves shaving a predator’s head and feeding him a “1 Chip Challenge”. Elsewhere, a predator was filmed k*lling himself off camera during a bust by creators and police.

Increasingly, it’s no longer merely halting child predators and raising awareness, but becoming a sort of retribution fetish content where any and all manor of violence and grotesqueness is acceptable in the name of “…but he’s a predator.”

Reluctantly making the association, it has a “Two Minutes Hate” energy.

What do you make of all this?

It's the content the internet wants. Some of it is really funny, like getting Akon to sing while one of the guys is getting arrested. A lot of the other stuff gets out of hand. It's the new frontier in "reality TV"
