27:40 a rent boy is not a male sex worker. In the UK, especially around the 70-80s, a rent boy was a runaway underage teenage boy (or otherwise homeless young man) who resorted to letting older men use them for sex in return for a roof over their head. A lot of these boys ended up dead/trafficked/etc. but since it's very difficult to break out of a cycle like that you would often see rent boys continuing to live that lifestyle into their 20s until they either broke out or sought help. There are a lot of autobiographies and documentaries about this topic since it was very common at the time. A lot of the more well known people who survived the rent boy lifestyle are huge advocates when it comes to speaking out about the sheer number of pedophiles rings in the UK and about how police still refuse to look into it for various reasons. Imo, David being an adult in the 90s was probably adopting this into his larp rather than an actual rent boy since it fit the themes of his fetishism.

[@TommyDay-kq1jj]

[@cranberryanonymous]

@@TommyDay-kq1jj it's sad, and worse when you hear the experiences of rent boys. There's an old documentary about a snuff film pedophile ring that had been operating in Amsterdam and an ex rent boy from England that had been trafficked detailing that a trafficking victim that he met briefly before they were allegedly used in a film. The idea that rent boys were sex workers is so damaging to the reality of what actually happened in those days. They were children

Brit here, THANK YOU for covering this and not sensationalising it like I've seen other creators do. I've seen/heard of so many creeps online but when I first learnt about this account I felt genuinely sick and horrified, so I don't know how people can possibly just use it for 'creepy content'. I'm hoping to absolute God that this dude faces actual consequences, though given the UKs track record of giving predators light sentences (the Gary Glitter case comes to mind where that creep only spent 4 months in jail at first) my expectations are low. Side note: It's pronounced coh-pine (as in pine tree)

[@furygeist]

Like, tbh, child predators and what they do is inherently creepy and horrific. But trying to make it anything but a predator being on the hunt to satisfy his creeoy fetish is a bad look for other creators.

[@stroodledoodles]

@furygeist Exactly! But alas there are unfortunately creators on here who don't discuss sensitive topics like these very respectfully or, even worse, only do it for shock value/views.

What!? is anyone even aware of the etymology of "pathology". Here's what I bet will happen. HE will get sorted out by the law, told to pull his head, and now that everyone knows who he is in reality, I suspect the irony is he will be a victim of an actual corporeal crime as opposed to him actually physically doing anything more harmful than being a friggin nuisance and causing a headache for all the parents who have to explain to their kids "what is wrong with that weird man dressed in a school uniform" . and here is the real kicker. I expect absolute moral outrage and more conspiracies than if Eddie Bravo was smoking methamphetamine about how "Da Dark State/ Bohemian Grove and Pizza Shop/Joe Biden and George Soros" went in to cover up his child sacrifices and blatant necrophilia against dead pigeons for the Dark Lord that rules the Earth - The Microsoft Office Paperclip dude. Where has he gone? what happened and why is no one talking about it. Oh, and if someone doesn't say that they heard he was seen at a Puff Daddy I will be seriously disappointed. Here it is. He is messed up. He is known. He has chased kids. He has been to caught. Now the internet has discovered him. Digital Pitchforks MUST be brought out again to bring justice for some imaginary crime that these sick people fantasize people like him actually doing. That's the bit that scares me. These people are so obsessed with this stuff, one must wonder how long before the Abyss stares back and rewires those neurons to attach weidrschoolboys kink into THEIR pleasure pathway system in THEIR mind.

So sick that we need to watch out for it, and people like him. I'll volunteer to be the first person to go undercover to the C-P playboy mansion" Yep, I know I will be accused of that very thing just for writing this.

hi hannah!! jewish viewer here, aryan isn’t a slur or something you can’t say. it’s just a race concept to describe the aforementioned group of people! thank you for your sensitivity though!!

[@skyofthelivingdead]

It can be derogatory, though, and often is. Like, a former friend of mine (biracial, white/Indigenous but looks like every other bland white dude, ironically) looked at a baby photo of my cousin and goes “oh. A little Aryan baby.” with the nastiest contempt in his voice. He absolutely meant it in an insulting way, he made that very clear later on and there’s a reason we aren’t friends anymore. I just wish people would start using “towhead” more. It doesn’t have the same negative connotation that “Aryan” does, while meaning the same thing.

[@TimeTravelerJessica]

It also means different things depending on context. The original anthropological context referred to people from a certain region of India who had travelled throughout the world. The Nazis hijacked that term to mean blond-haired blue eyed tall white people with certain facial features. J.R.R. Tolkien famously sent a note to the German publisher who tried to publish the Hobbit during WWII hilariously schooling them on the actual anthropological term in response to an inquiry about his heritage. (This has very little to do with anything I just figured we all needed to think of something fun after this video.)

[@LivyRivy]

​@@skyofthelivingdeadI've never heard the word "towhead" before but it definitely *sounds* like more of a slur than Aryan does. But tbh, any word can sound like a slur if you say it in that tone.

[@MaddieMisanthrope]

​@@LivyRivyIn colonial times, families grew their own flax to make into fabric for clothing. Transforming the flax into thread was a complicated, involved process with many time-consuming steps. After the flax was harvested, it was soaked in water for several days to soften it so the inner fibers could be removed from the stalk. To separate the long, thin fibers from the shorter, coarser ones, the flax was pulled through a bed of nails or combed in a process called "towing." The shorter fibers that were extricated were of a lesser quality and were called "tow." This led to the term "towheads" to describe people, particularly children, whose hair resembled these strands.

In my experience, warning about or expressing disgust at PDF files/predators is a common tactic predators themselves use. The man who groomed me spoke with disgust about PDF files he himself knew and once spearheaded a small movement amongst our "friends" to get a Facebook group that was posting CP taken down. (This was in 2012 and didn't go far past us and a few other people reporting the group.) The old front end manager at my job was infamous for creeping on the teenage girls in his department, sending them money, and hitting them up for pics as soon as they turned 18 or were no longer working here, and yet he got viscerally angry when he learned that I've been victimized multiple times. I've seen it happen. I don't know if these guys are in denial or if they're trying to get suspicion off themselves, but it's a real thing and it makes my skin crawl.

[@DCreed013]

It's an unfortunate reason you can never truly trust advocates for child safety- because predators will wiggle their way into that circle to abuse the trust and authority being in such a circle would grant them. Seems like a month can't go by without some shlub in the art community getting found out for being a predator when they had previously been an ardent advocate for child safety or anti-p*dophilia. Or when a so-called "p*do-hunter" turns out to have been one themselves. It happens literally ALL the time and it goes to show that you never really know a person.

I mentionrd this in Nick's video on but it really is so terrifying how those types of nonces can be so brazen and open about their despicable desires (like schoolboy and Lily orchard). I know it's terrifying when there are ones who aren't like that but it's pretty much like bragging on their ends. It's like they think they won't get caught.

I’m personally going with the abuse resulting in arrested development for one really big reason. When I saw the child edits, they gave me a sense of Déjà vu. Which I couldn’t figure out until iNabber pointed it out. The art style is very reminiscent of classic children’s cartoons from the UK. I grew up in the UK, so I remember watching them, even though they feel a bit like a fever dream now.

[@CamStubbs]

I have the same gut feeling… role playing a child was taught to them and they are more likely a victim of abuse and not the abuser although repeating learned behaviour is a likely outcome also.

[@CamStubbs]

On another note, by witness accounts he sounds like the perfect IRL streamer 😂

[@zoogrrl5309]

Seconding this, i worked with sexual predators for a long time (they were mental patients as well, this was not a prison), and it's my opinion that this man wants to BE the schoolboy being taken advantage of, not the other way around. Obviously still yucky, but i don't personally believe he's a threat.

This is the first video about this topic that I’ve actually been able to sit through. Thank you. Your comprehensive, non-sensationalized, not heavily theatrical style of covering these topics makes your videos very enjoyable, compared to others where the over the top spooooky editing turns me off within the first 5 minutes.

[@princembat]

personally, i dont even care what his backstory is. if he has some tragic past, if he was also abused, if he has some sort of mental thing going on... its still horrible no matter what. i know hannah isnt using that as an excuse, but i just know theres people who would. ive seen so many people try to excuse the worst acts imaginable just because the person doing them has a tragic story. like for example the allegations against michael jackson (not saying theyre true or not, its just an example that came to mind), ive seen people say 'well if its true it makes sense because of his childhood so you kinda have to feel bad for him...' like. no!! if someone is hurting other people (or even animals) purposefully, especially children, i dont give a single damn about what their past is, only their present, and their future where they hopefully get consequences.

[@paprikapringless9526]

yes and tbh it’s such an insult to those who have a tragic past but didn’t harm anyone (but themselves 😢) as a result of it. like, there are people who have been through hell and don’t consider that an excuse.

THE SHIRT DESIGN YOU HAVE IS SO CUTE

[@Jason-ie1pg]

The whole ARG explanation wave has made situations like this 100 times worse, more complicated and difficult. Because if you look at something with the ARG explanation in the back of your mind, literally EVERY slightly weird situation with missing clues seems like an ARG or something similar. It is annoying and crazily harmful that a lot of people these days discover a weird situation like this where there is no direct answer about what’s going on simply because information is missing and then are immediately like: "Ah this can’t be real. This is yet another stunt to get internet attention and tell a weird and twisted story to get people hooked." We need to see things for what they are until there are definitive signs or proof that it is genuinely a fake story meant to entertain and get viral.

[@kylethecherry-nosesanalite1723]

[@Jhud69]

Personally I think this guy is unwell in some way (of course beyond having obvious paraphilias). I know people use the "he seems to know what he is doing is wrong/he is too articulated to just be ill" argument but the thing is, that's a pretty stereotypical and inaccurate way to see people with mental issues. A lot of them both are aware their behavior can be wrong & a lot of them can be well articulated, but they're not mentally fit still. Obviously that doesn't in any way excuse him, Gods no, I just think people are way too quick to claim it's impossible when it isn't. There are easier and less suspicious ways to create fetish content like this, especially nowadays with AI (which is one of the reasons it should be banned, full stop).

[@user-141N]

finally someone who takes it seriously

[@grandtheftawdoh]

What disturbs me the most about this is that they probably suffered some kind of severe trauma surrounding the details of their fetish, probably stunted developmentally, however it doesn't change the fact that it sounds like they need to be in prison, and removed from society.

[@avocado-ze6kk]

apparently evidence has come out that one of his school teachers had been arrested for mol3sting students. the dates and ages line up with him being a possible victim (as well as him actually naming the teacher in one of his facebook posts). obviously, this is not confirmed but it would explain a lot of his strange behaviours.

[@adding1-h9i]

It has since been revealed that it is a true kid that rejected Deep State pedos. Ppl chat shit but finally some new info.

Ever since tiktok started talking about him the subreddit started going to shyte. Now all the big mystery youtubers are covering him. I love that more people are aware of this creep, but I also hope the crazies stay away when it comes to the investigative work people are doing

[@thefalloff22]

for sure, the amount of shitheads making fake accounts pretending to be him, recreating his edits/posts, and trying to contact him for shits and gigs have done so much damage. especially considering they all are spreading so much misinformation :/ and the video of someone bricking his house?? we’re trying to prosecute this guy not bully and push him into hiding.

[@lyn737]

The merch is really really cute! I'm also glad you're covering this. I say this as someone who has worked in a psychiatric facility on a unit of psychotic and mood disorders more on the manic/delusion end, and who has a degree in psychology and neuroscience - at times I think the true crime and eerie content community can poise the symptoms of certain disorders as "normal person being creepy" when really it is "person suffering from the symptoms of a serious mental health condition." Especially as mental health at its worst is not pretty and does not often abide by the logic/expectations of reality. HOWEVER. This was not that at all. As I continued to watch more about it, especially with the expose about this person's past and how sound and clear of mind they are in their online posts, as well as their newspaper article from Nick Crowley's video (I haven't fully finished this video yet). it is certainly a complex issue going on and I hope that investigations on this individual succeed.

Maybe this individual has deleted that post so far as I have him blocked but that was definitely a thing initially which led a lot of people report him to authorities.

I learned about this case when a smaller youtuber covered it pre nexpo and Nick but he was asked by the subreddit to delete it as to not bring unwanted attention to it. Ugh it's genuinely disgusting this man is even allowed to roam and use the internet freely he should facing some serious prison time and kept away from vulnerable kids at any cost. I do have to saythe way people online are treating as some weird little viral moment to get clicks off is also gross. This isn't some funny try hard arg or bad horror series it's a genuine predator who is sharing some borderline if not straight up illegal content. People are laughing at those nasty images and sharing them because to them it's weird when many don't even realize it's fetish content they're spreading. Don't get me wrong the worst person in this whole situation is the maggot preying on kids but People have become so desensitized to legitimate p*dophilia due to many popular figures being exposed for it it has become almost a bogeyman like thing instead of a real dangerous threat to kids everywhere.

Someone did this on Myspace to me, my friends, and many other teens we knew from different high schools. They stole our photos, used fake names, and started a whole community of us in Georgia. We were not from that state. It's very scary to think of it now, but I remember my friends and I were like "Wtf? Why is the fake me best friends with my real-life enemy's fake profile?". Instead of seeing it as a possible threat, our dumbasses were more upset at the inaccuracies of our relationships.

not to derail, but walmarts genuinely tend to be stores where you can buy almost anything, so unless you can get like 80% of everything you would need to send your kid off to uni, from bed sets to dish soap to bikes to town-sized buckets of cheese popcorn, im not sure ur idea of walmart is calibrated correctly. and the only exaggeration is that the buckets of cheese corn sadly do not come in sizes big enough to feed an entire town
