Yeah, a decent chunk about his relationships start from an unethical standpoint. From not disclosing his status to potential relationships to actively starting relationships with the goal of being famous for having children to coercing folks into a polygamous relations, there is so much wrong. Then there's the aspect of whether he'd allow the reverse situation to be true in a relationship. We know the women are fine with him having multiple partners, but are they afforded the same right, or would they have to sepearate from him if they had another partner(s)? As someone who is polyamorous myself, there are so many red flags he's probably gonna have less children than those flags.

There are different formations in polygamy/polyamory, but for the love of god, consent is supposed to be a key element to all of them. Do not do it like him- The fact he (apparently) never let any of those girls he know he was already in a relationship is cheating and is absolutely not the norm for serious poly relationships. While it seems to work out with those four that didn’t (rightfully so) dump him, it brings an incredibly bad stigma to poly relationships as a whole to straight up cheat instead of communicating and setting healthy boundaries and rules.

So what I got from this: He's a selfish and narcissistic individual, those 3 I'm not sure if they truly enjoy the situation or are spineless womans who got scammed like all the others but instead of having self-respect and leave, they decided to "compromise" - in which case, the perfect kind of target to be preyed upon by him.

[@apt_get]

I wish he had interviewed the women more instead of just asking... the obvious questions to the dude. There was a possibility for an interesting story to be revealed here with these women, but nothing is elucidated. This guy is an abuser by cheating and having children he won't support, even if people are staying with him.

@@deathboy9246 I understand what you’re saying but that’s also not what I’m suggesting- I just think he could have asked them some more meaningful questions in the setting they were in, but the questions were extremely surface-level.

[@moonchi7]

I know this is a big hehe haha to a lot of people, and props to Joey for interviewing them in a humorous and respectful way (I dont agree with the making of this, but at least he didnt go to their house to make fun of them I guess), but I cannot come out of this video with anything other than absolute disgust towards this mf and sadness towards all the women who ever associated themselves with him (currently or not). As a woman who doesn't want children and isn't particularly fond of little kids, it makes me so fucking angry to see that children are only a number to him. He only said he wanted to break a record, he didn't say anything about loving his kids, or how much he would like to care for as many as possible or provide a good future for them (which would be impossible bc ain't no way a highly paid person could provide for a big amount of kids, let alone an unemployed mf). It also disgusts me how he starts the relationship LYING. If you're concealing a part of your involvement with other people while already having a stable partner, you're taking away their decision to stay or leave the situation, and you're deceiving people that might want a regular 2-people deal. You can be poly all you want but don't do it like this. Be upfront with everyone from the start and let them decide if they wanna be poly or not. This is so fucking vile and such a bad rep for actual healthy poly relationships. Last but not least: it saddens me that he lied to some women to the point that they left while having his baby and calling him all those names. This is speculation on my part, but probably some of them only found out about the poly situation after being pregnant, and that's why they left the situation in that manner. This poor excuse of a human being doesn't seem bothered by it, which is even more awful, and even then he keeps saying he wants more kids (more numbers). He won't ever help with raising them nor giving them the attention they deserve or a good father figure, but that doesn't matter to him. And by the way the wives talked about how the 3 of them help each other raise the kids, it sounds more like these 3 are married to each other while having the guy as a sugar baby/fuck buddy they share. I hope they're happy with their decision to stay with him, but in my eyes, they clearly have more cons than pros on their side. Ugh, I wish no girls would give the time of day to guys like him, and I wish he would do right by the partners and kids he already has instead of trying to be famous at other people's expense (both the women and the kids).

[@victorchan1187]

I was feeling the same way and having almost the same opinions as you have. As much as I am watching awkwardly laughing, I am not fond of the guy and his idea of having many wives and children as he could gather. There would future problems coming to him along the road. Hearing his answers are honest but not very solid and poor.

[@brownliney]

Honestly with most of the things you said I agree, but I also feel like this guy shouldn’t get any attention. He wants to be famous based on the fact that he just wants to achieve his by no means understandable goal and it pains me to see that some people idolise him in the comments by calling him a "legend". Respectfully I feel like this video does more harm than good. I can accept the interviews before that, but this one rubs me the wrong way by trying to normalise cheating and making some women raise their children alone. His wives don’t even seem to be happy about this whole thing. They just smile because what else is there to do?

[@arkavalon5347]

At this point, it's safe to say that when his grow up, they better make sure that the person they're marrying isn't also a "Watanabe," if the child kept the surname, as there's already a high chance that the other party could be a half-sibling whose mother left him back then.

[@SkitsyCat]

I mean, at this rate and with how he also seems to be impregnating girlfriends (in other words, women he hasn't actually married and shared a surname with yet), it's also likely that they'd also have to be careful of dating non-Watanabes. His children's dating pool is absolutely screwed, ultimately because he's such a scumbag with no forethought about his grand scheme or the people he uses to achieve his goals.

I can get behind polygamy if the people involved are transparent, communicative and have the same rules for each gender.

I don't mind the concept of a poly relationship, however, beating around the bush and having children with women, proceeding to only reveal that you are poly, not once, not twice, not three bloody times. Four times, and it looks like he'll keep doing it if the person dosent know about it from online sources. I find it to be extremely duche like behaviour to treat anyone like this. Rather than going to family therapy, they decided to just live from one another (4th wife). Which does not address an issue within the relationship but simply is an act if running away from it. If you don't even want to talk/look at your partner what do they even mean to you. The wife's also atleast from our understanding of the translated dialogue, the undertone tells us it isn't very "ethical" in a manner. Hearing from how problem are dealt by atleast what's said, shouting or etc etc... It practically let's us know why the 4th wife doesn't feel like living together with him. Ofcourse I'm just some layman making a paragraph about this dude, but I simply find how he treats his partners to he disgusting.

To me, the women look like they don't really enjoy something throughout the interview.

I can understand that some people will go for for multiple partners and be happy together just fine. What I don't understand is what he brings to the table in this situation...

[@ssummerdew]

the women definitely look like they are trying to keep the dirty laundry in. when joey directed questions at them, usually only 1 answers and quite vague with not much details of their feelings or what really happened. which kind of makes sense why they do that because this interview is about him, to the "outside" they must present a united front, but "inside" there should be many more troubles. furthermore he is manipulating and controlling them (look at the hairstyles! you can also spot abusive relationships in hair salons when the man makes all the decisions and gives all the directions on the woman's hairstyle).

[@jesssc402]

It’s also interesting how the comment section on the Japanese channel that reported this were focused on the girls’ appearance, like the girls he targets (heavy bangs, slanted eyes, wider face) are “unwanted goods” while the comment section here, it’s as if it’s more of a joke 😅

[@pinkdragoneyes]

​​​@brentr8608Women who aren't conventionally attractive are prone to self esteem issues that oftentimes have them staying with men bc they've never received male attention before and they believe nobody else would want them. His 3.5 wives are also much younger than him, he's clearly a terrible guy and they're only with him because he trapped them emotionally and isolated them from their friends and family who would all tell him he's a slime ball. I laughed when they said he's good at sex, that's probably the only pro they see to him seeing as he spends more time looking for new girls than with his current wives, and even that I'm sure is a gross misunderstanding from 2 women in their early 20s who never had previous sexual partners. He clearly doesn't care about his wives or the 8 children he has so far that he has no involvement in raising, man is truly disgusting.
