    Well not really for public nuisance, it was about “distributing sexual deepfakes”.

    Oh but I am sure threatening the judge thing did not help.

    When he finishes his sentence, I hope he goes to China next. They have a history of great tolerance with people who disrupt the social order.

    “Distributing sexual deepfakes”.

    Yeah, that sounds a lot more serious than simply harassing people, yet it’s only mentioned for a single sentence here.

        Because in Japan, they’d be had for battery. Even self defense in Japan as defined as enough, and only enough, to flee in most cases; punching someone who punches you doesn’t qualify if you can remove yourself from the situation otherwise.

          Oh yeah, I’m aware. But there are plenty of dudes down here that probably wouldn’t have hesitated anyway had they crossed paths with this idiot.

        Sure people tried, just slapping about and I assume he enjoyed the attention. Like the other Vile social media guy that got arrested in Thailand ( Asia) when he gets out he’ll just be even more vile.

      It sounds horrible, but I think we lost something when we made it impossible to get away with fighting someone for doing stupid shit. There’s too many cameras now and, even if they started it by doing something antagonistic, you’ll be arrested and held accountable because they technically didn’t assault you. If this happened in like the 50s (discounting race and everything else, only his actions), he’d get his ass kicked. Everyone around would likely support it.

      Now, the only social system to punish them is shaming, and shaming them is exactly what they want. Shaming them gives them publicity. Publicity gets them money. Literally the best option is to ignore them, which absolutely does nothing to stop it, but at least it doesn’t encourage it.

      I’m not saying we should go back to the 50s. I’m only saying that sometimes people need consequences, like you said. If the legal system can’t provide it, we need an extra-legal solution, and we don’t have that anymore. We did in the past, though it was often used for evil (lynching and lots of racist/homophobic/other-phobic stuff), it also served a purpose.

    Fucker only had 5k of followers. That’s as many as a guy I know who does Battletech videos. Dumbass.

    While I’m glad he got the sentence I was sure that he would get more, especially after all the disrespect he showed during trial.

    dumbass is just going to treat it like a twitch ban and is looking forward to 6 months from now on his first stream back where he’s going to get a shit ton of viewers and thus a lot of money.

      Twitch didn’t ban him permanently for harassing people in public as part of his content?

      I guess they still have the Nazi WoW player that thinks he’s a political streamer still though. So I guess I’m not surprised.
