The sad part is there was a similar situation with Terry crews when he told a story about how he was sexually assaulted in public and a celebrity party by a producer in Hollywood and how his whole entire situation got laughed at even by government officials and swept under the rug because that man had so much power with the police
@@Th3DarkCanuckBy having power and control over him, or by Terry having the (presumably to innocents) good sense to solve problems in the justice system rather than through violence.
As girls we are taught about the threats of sexual assault from a young age and how to be safe and I don’t think the boys get the same attention and it’s important that they also know to protect themselves and we need to stop victim blaming and erasing. It can happen to anyone.
I was five when my neighbour taught us girls who lived on the street how to defend ourselves in case we were attacked. He was a cop and thus had been taught how to evade getting grabbed etc. The moves he taught us were legit, by the way. I used some of them when I was assualted by a group of street burglars in Rome in my late teens. Looking back almost 50 years later I am wondering if he knew something we never knew about. Was there some really horrible dude in our town and the nieghbour taught so that we would be prepared just in case? Because as far as I can remember he did not have the same self defence classes with the boys, so... yeah, there probably was some p*do living close by who preferred girls of kindergarten age.
This is so true, girls are taught from childhood to basically walk around afraid of men at every turn. After being SA'd as a kid, that fear and anxiety never left me. But hardly anyone has conversations with their sons about SA and inappropriate relationships with adults. I mean, male culture sits there and praises boys who are assaulted by their female teachers, instead of trying to help them and guide them through their trauma. It's so gross.
Parents, schools, and religion have been lying to people forever. It's how they ensure their authority and root out those who can think. For example, Men like what's pretty and also Pink because they like Women. Also, Young Women are not kept indoors at night because of Men. It's because of Her own Lust.
Being a survivor of human trafficking I've often spoken about my abuse and I cannot even begin to recall the amount of times I was mocked, harassed, told I deserved it ...etc. Honestly, it's a very toxic male culture some of us live in.
Ive never had that situation so I can't relate (Fortunately) although reading over this comment for the 4th time.. told you deserved it is insanely psyoctic, even if they said it as a joke Human trafficking is in no way something to be laughed at or mocked
It's not just a male culture. Many women would laugh at you as well. The sad fact is that in this day and age men are viewed as some sort of oppressor, and their wellbeing is not taken remotely seriously. It is even treated as something bad.
I am so sorry that you have experienced that. I hope you have supportive people in your life and get to heal. Its not your fault, and you dont deserve to be blamed for it
I had no idea Dude had been released from prison until he began his press tour. It's ridiculous to glorify this, give him a platform, and include his cashapp in videos.
@@rotten.peachringsI guarantee the people giving him a platform would 100% be thinking twice if any of his victims had been their family members. Imagine what the victims are thinking seeing this? The irony of “no justice no peace” when this guy is walking around free
If a Hispanic lifer hears a fleece is doing this to a younger Hispanic, the fleece dude will wish he never existed. Same things with the Whjtes, and every other group.
But what happened is the normies of America got all entertained and amused by the whole prison 🍇 stuff that this became a meme. It’s as tone deaf and stupid as it gets, but that’s modern society for you.
This is fucking disgusting. He should be serving life he shouldn’t have gotten released in the fact that some RUclipsrs are using him for content is bad incredibly bad. I can’t even explain it.
Since he is admitting to crimes why cant he be charged. Mens mental health as always been overlooked. We need to let men know that it is ok to report this stuff and get help
Because even though he's admitting to it, the state still has to prove that he actually did it. That means getting victims to testify under oath that what Fleece says did happen to them. I have no doubt in my mind that every one of Fleece's victims would rather die than ever admit that they were victimized by him.
This is literally Diddy in 30 years. And they are kickin it with him and think it’s funny. Imagine you are a victim to this man and you open up RUclips, seeing him talking about violating you and the interviewer laughing. Making the S.O. famous and also re-violating the victims by laughing about it publicly for money on RUclips and TikTok.
Ok but Diddy is not free from jail(never will be hopefully), he isn’t like 65-70yrs old, he don’t have white hair, he isn’t broke yet, he isn’t openly bragging about what things he did to people, but this dirty old man is freely speaking on the grossest acts a man can do to another human being… So no, this is not Diddy yet.
A similar thing happened about a Japanese cannibal who never got arrested because of some loopholes. Now he has been a minor celebrity in Japan, been interviewed by news channels, and even starred in an extreme adult movie. People make the most insane people famous. Many if which should NEVER be famous. I'm just saying this because this ain't the first time we make a horrible person famous and giving them money.
August, you are not wrong. This is beyond acceptable. In fact, it's so weak of the guys to interview a serial rap!st for money/gains. Laughing with him is such a slap in the face for the victims. Disgusting.
Exactly, it reminds me of the youtubers who interview the "most racist man in America" just this is way worse, dude. This just goes to show money means the world to people and they well get it by any means necessary
@@UncGaiming Thanks so much. It can be said either way though, because I put 'beyond' before 'acceptable', it still basically means unacceptable. Neither are wrong. Still, thanks so much for being polite about it.
If there's one thing RUclips hates, it's people making videos about things that actually matter. This isn't going to play out well for you Mr Duckhead but I certainly respect you for trying.
@@psychedelicpunk5031 come on now. I'm black and that never even crossed my mind. seems like you're the only person thinking about race. He's a scumbag, end of discussion
August, thank you for talking about this. Mens mental health needs the same support many women get. What this disgusting person has done is just nightmare fuel. Imagine if it was the other way. He would be a pariah. He should be punished and people should be standing against him. He is a monster. He needs to pay for what he has done. I am a victim and never want anyone MALE or female to ever be laughed at the way people are with this. I am horrified and saddened. Sorry this isnt much for how much you could potentially lose if you are demonetised.
Women don't magically get support. They have to be the perfect victims and fight and struggle to get anyone to listen. Women who have been through the same thing give support and they do to men too. The main issue is how rarely men will support each other in their mental health needs but will support awful men who do awful things. Just seeing that, as this video shows, is so detrimental. Men have the power and need to take the lead in making changes. Women have been struggling for decades, they can't take the charge in men's mental health issues. The men are the ones supporting this weirdo, not women.
1) As an SA victim, I appreciate you saying the word "rape" in full. 2) Pop Culture Detective has a video on the sexual assault of men played for laughs, and I highly recommend it.
@@justlight. No its because tiktok or a platform will delete it for using the actual word. been banned before for sying the actual word. soI just add extra letters to not risk it. dont understand how its disrespect tho
@@justlight. it is but thats how youtubes rules are. say the wrong words and your video gets demonetized or you'll even be banned. but in this situation it should just be said, because this is very disgusting and disturbing that so many people think hes a cool dude.
@@justlight.It’s a bit snowflakey to be upset about people using goofy words to skirt cens0rship and get serious messages out. If you care about the serious issues you alluded to, and if you have cens0rship, you should SUPPORT people using those goofy words.
@@boogidwnej179 You've missed a lot then when the video of him being interview in prison dropped on the internet over a decade ago, he became an icon, Fleece story was being talked about amongst kids for sure, they think he's cool because of how raw and real he is, like how he calls himself ''The Booty Warrior'' and how he described his desire for booty and how he went about getting said booty from other inmates, even down to the way he said/says the word booty, also the way he wears his prison issued clothes and as for the adults some of the things kids think they also think.... Fleece ''The Booty Warrior'' Johnson for better or for worse has become a legend/icon of the internet.
What gets me is other men (the gender of his victims) give him the platform! Not that women giving him a platform makes much more sense, but it’s disturbing to me that men tend to harm other men the most. I’m not implying women don’t do these heinous acts too!! I see those awful stories as well. I’m simply saying I am disappointed how men often defend predators in general, whether that predator be their friend or someone they just find powerful. I am passionate about mental health care, and I admire men that are honest about their journey. This guy should be seen as an example of who not to become or defend, and an opportunity to let men know they deserve safety, respect, and dignity just like everyone else. Thanks for talking about this August. This topic is incredibly important even if it’s heartbreaking.
Agreed. I've seen many videos of men SAed by women, a huge amount of comments are men calling the victims lucky! And when the SA is done by men, they laugh at them in the comments (Women make fun of them too but their comments are overshadowed by the amount of men in there). This is insane, R is R, when can we grow as a society and stop making fun of everything?
I've been SA'ed by a girl a boy and a man when i was young the journey to trying to recover was hard (im 15 now) and luckily i developed Alzheimers but i hate it that i can still remember those who hurt me
Not going to lie, this topic does enrage me, because I loathe rape and rapist. I have female and male friends who have been raped and it's the WORST fucking thing in my opinion you can do to someone and I hate that this person is getting attention for it. Men's mental health is not taken seriously at all and I hate it. I hate our society's view on rape, especially male x male rape or just male rape in general (Not all, as there are decent people, just it's too mixed for my liking). Overall I'll stop my rant, but thank you for bringing this topic to attention and thank you for not actually watching the interviews. Thank you for having discussing it in a mature way.
I hate society's view of it too. They justify it based on things the victim can't control such as age or gender because they aren't as "innocent" or "can fight back"
Thank you, August. I'm a past victim, I truly appreciate the fact you're taking such a risk to talk about this man. These people aren't caught enough (referring to Offenders). I truly appreciate you bringing things to light. I won't be able to watch the video yet, since today is a trigger day (my PTSD is worse some days than others and this is one of them). However, once I feel I can handle it, I'll come back. Thank you. You're truly a respectable man, thank you again for bringing this to light despite the risks. Edit: I can't do this today. Putting my trauma out there was vulnerable enough, only for people to question it. Sorry, next time I'll post a picture of my diagnosis of HSV-2 I got when I was six from the experience as proof. It's one thing to mention that people will, it's another to straight up say my "claim" is straight BS and be rude about it. Edit 2: Fine. I'll happily make a video showing my prescriptions, proof of therapy, and pictures and information on my Rapist. I'll edit this again when I post it.
You know someone is going to say something but I will be the one to question the legitamacy of this claim. You don't need to prove it, if it brings up PTSD.
Thank you August. I won't go into detail but I know a guy who had unwanted things forced on him by another man, so this is a very serious topic for me. And I really appreciate you calling this out, this behaviour is unacceptable in my opinion.
I hope the person you know is okay right now. Healing from this kind of assault is difficult, but just keep hoping that nothing will go wrong ever again.
See, I know a girl that happened to but I can't bring myself to admit who the girl is, I don't know if that's the same for you but I hope the person you know is doing okay the girl I know is. Male or female, it's never okay for some to do such a thing. Never.
I'm really glad you spoke about this because people don't talk about male sex abuse or take it seriously, and it's wrong. It's isolating to victims and perpetuates the crisis. Thank you for saying something!
As a Christian, I can't say I didn't have a visceral reaction to seeing a man take the notion "Follow God, not Culture" so lightly to the point where he would shamelessly, without remorse or compassion, wear it in a video where he idolizes an unapologetic and unsympathetic serial rapist. It's disgusting. He doesn't condemn or seriously question any of his actions or words so I know he isn't trying to help Johnson get on a better path in life. I have had non-Christian and Christian friends who were so clearly spiraling out of control that I stayed close to in order to pray for them and help them get back on track. But even then, I always kept a distance because actions and opinions can rub off onto you. It's clear this young man Hustler spirit clearly doesn't have any true friends to help him see that what he says and does don't line up with what he thinks he believes; neither does he desire to help Johnson see how his actions and words affect others. My heart goes out to all male and female victims of such heinous crimes. May God give you justice; may God give you peace🤍
This is fucking disgusting. I hope this guy gets what's coming for him. I don't understand why people make fun or light of this. It's scary and awful, that this guy has some kind of platform, maybe even fans. And as an SA victim, it's really disgusting how this guy is being presented as funny or in a positive light. Thank you for making this video, August. I've never heard about this guy before and I'm glad to see you take such things as seriously as they should be taken.
You hit the nail on the head. We want men to take stuff like this seriously. This isn't a JOKE on either gender. I don't know one woman who laughs at another for this but some how you always find men thinking it's funny. There is a reason why stuff like this gets underreported. it is so messed up because it's a FACT you feel the same way as a woman who got AS. The emotion, the anxiety, is the same but SOME HOW they don't understand the concept Bear vs Man.
Not all men don’t take this stuff seriously. I mean stop generalizing. Even August says no one takes men’s health seriously because some men are bad. Yes, but NOT all men are.
@@TsukiKageTora I am not saying ALL. BUT I JUST WISH THE MAJORITY OF YOU TOOK IT SERIOUSLY. Look I get it there could be a generational thing. Older women in my family don't understand mental health. But AT LEAST when I talk to the younger generation, they TAKE it SERIOUSLY. But so far? the other side of the pond? Yall still split on this.
I have brought up this issue with men in my life (not this gross dude, but having unresolved mental issues) and the answer always seems to be: "What good is talking about it going to do?" or "I can just talk to you about it." While I am happy to listen, I unfortunately never finished my psych degree after the epilepsy got out-of-hand and am nowhere near the hours I need to be qualified. I cannot provide the tools or resources that a licensed professional can. Yes, speaking to a professional is entirely different than family or friends. There is a reason they go to school and have to intern for so long. They use different methods (depending on what they studied in particular or currently practice) to help you approach issues from different angles with different actions to help end up with different (hopefully better) results than where you're at. I think this concept is woefully lost on the majority of boys and men out there- most especially the ones who need it the most. The specific issue of rape has always been one met with skepticism and ridicule, regardless as to gender, but I can see that it is far less believed within the male community. This is astounding considering that 1 in 5 girls will experience childhood sexual abuse and 1 in 8 boys will. Now, that's just the reported numbers. I personally have not met another woman who hasn't experienced something horrific below the age of 17. I don't have any doubts the numbers are higher for men, too. I know it took my cousin a long time to get over the undue shame he felt, the questioning of his sexuality (children are not sexual beings, so this is a moot point), and ultimately feeling weak and disempowered from the whole experience. This idea that the only appropriate emotion for men to show is anger is stupid. You're just as human as the rest of us and anger is such a surface-level emotion. Dig deeper. What's beneath it? Frustration? Shame? Confusion? Digust? Remorse? Shock? Sadness? Regret? YOU ARE NOT ROBOTS: FEEL YOUR FEELS. I had no idea this was going on on TikTok, but I definitely would have sent some emails to the US Team as it turns out they aren't doing the ban on Sunday (shocker.) I will say that it's a bit insulting to say that this mockery of victimization and giving a platform to predators is unique to men. Without getting too into it: look at those in positions of power. Look at freaking Nick Fuentes who single-handedly has traumatized an entire generation of school-aged girls with his stupid catchphrase.....which was immediately turned around on him in the form of, "Your house, my choice." Dude ran to mommy for safety while people destroyed his house. Such a based, red-pilled, alpha male right there. I live in a Frontline ban state where the threat of this very thing is made on a regular basis. Women and GIRLS are getting DMs with the most repugnant stuff ever written. I am honestly considering arming myself and I despise those things....but it is an ever-present and very real threat.
I genuinely recommend that anyone who has had any kind of traumatic event (that is defined by you, nobody else. It can be as simple as not feeling good about yourself because someone said really ugly things to you), give counseling a go before you knock it, ESPECIALLY if you have the insurance to do so. It is a process of trial and error to find the right one, but most do free consultations where you can ask questions and get to know them a bit. Highly recommend going through Psychology Today as they do some pretty damn good vetting on the people they list. You can filter by preferred age, gender, background, method of meeting (online/in-person), ect. You just shoot off some request for consults and you'll usually hear back in a very short amount of time (they really do want to help. Most go into this line of work because they care, not for the money). Alma is also a good resource, but whatever way you get there- give it a go. No judgement, nobody telling you how messed up you are, just someone listening and trying to help.
As a person who listens to true crime this is NOT something we are board with. This is disgusting. I don’t want to hear from the person doing the heinous crimes
You're right, my heart goes out to so many men who can't say anything about horrible things that happen to them or how they are feeling because of this culture. It's so sad
has nothing to do with culture; has to do with being labeled a snitch. If you have beef with someone in prison, you go to a secluded spot and you handle business 1 v 1 w/ the other person. If you let someone take your hole, and then snitch on top of it? be prepared to get taken advantage of every step of the way. If you wouldn't fight for your a$$hole, you think people believe you're gonna fight over your bag of chips they took from you? and if you snitch; you're known as a snitch, nobody is going to trust you for anything; it's social su1cide in prison Prison culture is way different this has nothing to do with male victims outside of prison in any way
I wasn’t aware about this situation so I found it shocking asf. People are acting like he didn’t rape heaps of people? Who the fuck thought it was a great idea to release this disgusting man? Thank you for making this vid August, as it made people like me more aware of this situation.
He did his time; they released him. That's how prison works. As far as the people r@ped? you think they're gonna admit they let another man take his hole? then on top of that not handle it themselves (aka defend themselves) AND be labeled as a snitch after? which puts a huge target on their back? can't prosecute a crime that's never even been alleged to have happened
he did the time for the crime...it's okay to be optimistic because some people genuinely do come out as better people after having that long to sit in prison. however you got guys like tim lambesis from AIDL.
@@LilT2o00 but you do see how messed up it is seeing the guy who victimized you on social media? And nobody “LET” him do anything. Dude’s a r@pist! This is what August is talking about!!
You can tell these guys don't take the situation seriously because they aren't even afraid of him doing it to them, instead they are joking with him. Like if you were interviewing a murderer, most likely in the back of your mind, you would think that there is a possibility that the murderer you are interviewing could kill you.
He's not gay; he was just in a place w/ no women now that he's out of prison men don't have to be scared of him now that he has access to women again. Dude was "gay for the stay" (aka you like sex; but you only have sex with men because there are no women)
I didn't know about that guy... Any image promoting r*p*sts or other criminals should be banned, unless it is ment to make people aware that that kind of monster exists... I agree with everything you say in that video. Thanks for speaking about this!
I enjoy this kind of content. I wouldn't mind more serious content from you. Makes me sad that I see the same kinds of jokes you were addressing in your comment section. People need to realize that just because someone does something really bad, that doesn't mean it justifies it being done to them. We have a justice system in order to mete out punishment, but we don't just retaliate blindly. Advocating raping someone, and/or making fun of them for being raped, even if they are a heinous criminal, is disgusting. These people should be ashamed.
You've got a great point, R is R, shouldn't be made fun of or profited off the back of. Even if incarcerated, you've got you sentence, still doesn't give a free pass to abuse others. If YT demonitise videos from bloggers highlighting issues then shame on them, I've not seen this guy on TikTok, but those videos with the circles, blatantly all to keep attention and make money out of this.
What I find disgusting is the amount of people, even IRL, who will say "yeah but the people locked up with him probably deserved it". 1. No they don't, but 2: We know of the failings of DNA labs that sent people to prison for 10+ years for crimes they didn't commit, and those were the honest mistakes. There is an ongoing investigation in Colorado that affects over 650 cases, and they haven't even finished going through 1 examiner's results. And that's just one state, one examiner. There's evidence, still in Colorado, that other labs were doing similar things under pressure from the prosecution and investigators (DA, Sheriffs) to basically cover for otherwise weak evidence.
@ That's part of how the Colorado cases came about. The "evidence" was quite often people with a reason to lie for whatever reason (part of a plea, even if they didn't do it themselves etc) or just being vague 'witness' testimony that the prosecution needed a DNA match to actually make solid.
Yeah, it's really disgusting seeing people joke about it happening in prison or even going to far as to wish it upon people. What breaks my brain is that often these people will also speak out against this outside of a prison context.
This is absolutely disgusting. I can sort of understand average people just making corny jokes offhandedly about this stuff, like what the internet did with diddy and all, but at some point it goes too far. At some point the jokes aren’t funny anymore and are just downright horrendous. This sort of content shouldn’t be deemed as “hilarious”, it should be banned and not even given a platform in the first place. This guy deserves to be held in solitary. Thank you for talking about this August, you’re a real one for that.
I'm a SAV. It's nice seeing people like you showing awareness more. All throughout when I was a kid, I would hear "men can't be rapped" and other stuff. Keep up the fight. Honestly, I hope the tourneys promoting this creep loses platform
I have no words, I’m horrified, I’m absolutely disgusted that something that has ruined my life, and I can’t recover from ever. is being glorified online.
A few months ago, RUclips changed the monetisation policy so that people could discuss this topic without being demonetised, I remember because I was so relieved. I hope they haven’t backtracked on that, and that you don’t get essentially fined for speaking about something that deeply affects so many people
the amount of respect i have for august making this video is incomprehensible. he felt like he needs to talk about this and he did, i don’t think he’s afraid. this is why he’s one of my favorite youtubers, you got this man, keep doing what your doing !!!
mad respect man for actually saying fuck ad rev and all that to talk about a serious thing, never let integrity be bought like most these "content creators"
The fact theres such a double standard that everyone has to call out the double standard by saying "imagine if it was a woman" so people would have basic empathy is pitiful Ik everyone already knows that but who are these people with these double standards?? These people be walking outside irl?? These are people we see everyday???-
To further elaborate, it's not even enough to say if it is a woman. You have to say what if it was your mother, your sister, your niece, etc. because as a culture we are too comfortable pointing fingers at "imperfect" victims and blaming them for the actions of others. The culture is fucked.
It’s horrific how we treat rape victims in general seeing as many women get victim blamed and men just have ppl laugh at them like it wasn’t a horrific horrible disgusting experience
August, this could be your graduation from talking about things that don't matter, to talking about things that very much DO matter. Successful RUclipsrs evolve, I say embrace the change. Talk about what you care about. This video ate, I say keep making them.
@@Bonnie-ml7fi7nk8sit's unfortunately because of what society thinks. It's usually for their own minds and pleasure, but no one elses. They're not considered or smart enough to think about how much harm it can cause.
@@Bonnie-ml7fi7nk8sas a woman I have no idea while men think this is funny bc it never will be men cry and cry about their mental health but then don’t check on their friends laugh at jokes about men being violated like you don’t care men’s mental health you want likes
Holy shit, I am so acclimated to this subject being censored to oblivion, it’s refreshing to hear someone talk so bluntly about it. Thank you for bringing attention to this.
Being raised male I will say, the idea that boys and men can be victims of abuse of any kind is often played off as a joke, it is gross and sickening and the fact that this monster is being treated like a celebrity is absolutely disgusting. How can men's health and safety ever be taken seriously when people are treating people like this like they are good people or worthy of attention. I can also guarantee that not a single one of the people that he abused has ever received the help that they need. This is whole heartedly disturbing. Men are no different to women in this regard they are just as vulnerable and this topic SHOULD NEVER be treated as a joke. The damage that this kind of abuse does to someone is HUGE. I have known 2 people that have been victims of rape and both have struggled with serious mental health issues and depression since it is not a joke
@ GTFO that is the only crime that goes unpunished behind bars. My dad worked at a prison for 10 years & he’s told me terrible stories, including men like him. But every other violent encounter is punishable. You’re telling on yourself
@@boogidwnej179 if fleece actually served time for all +150 individuals he hurt, he'd still be in jail, even if he only got a few months for each offense. the reason he isn't serving more time is because of how society and media are treating him like a silly goofy weirdo instead of the serial r*pist he is.
@ dude all those took place in prison. Blame the prison system for not caring what happens to other prisoners. Do you know how common rape is in prison? Fleece wasn’t the only taking Buns.
This is also a big issue in interrogation videos. I love true crime, but there's always so many comments talking about how they hope the suspect gets assaulted in jail, etc. They talk about how it isn't supposed to happen, but it does, and guards love to overlook it, or even instigate it. The disgusting comments people post about it, encouraging it, laughing about it, wishing it on people. It's awful.
I am in complete agreement with you on this. And men's mental health is beyond overlooked, it pisses me off when men's feeling get downplayed or when they get teased, I will very vocally bash someone for even jokingly bashing a guy about something meaningful he said because it's hard enough for men's mental\emotional health to be taken seriously!!
The fact they call him “the booty warrior” makes me sick. All of this is sad. I feel bad for anyone that has to be around this guy, makes me want to throw up tbh
btw this was when I realised Lex Fridman was just a grifter. He had a high profile drug runner on his show once and treated him like he was some kind of royalty. It was beyond disgusting and at that moment I realized what Lex was really all about.
This guy should be put under the damn jail. If his victims were women he wouldn't be platformed ANYWHERE but because it happened to other men it's ok to make money off people being hurt in the worst way imaginable. I can't imagine having a guy like this IN MY OWN HOME and laughing with him like it's all good and nothing he did was horrible. I applaud you for talking about this in a mature, none exploitative manner. All content creators should have a moral compass like yours. Keep up the good fight and know you're a beacon of hope that maybe not every internet personality is a soulless wannabe celebrity with no ethics. I know you're young but when you turn 35 I would vote for a duck to be my president!!!
I hate the double standards most people have. If he had done this to women, no one would be joking around about it as much, or they wouldn't joke about it at all. It's a horrible crime to commit against anybody. I hope that mens mental health is actually taken seriously in the future, but I somehow doubt it because stuff like this still isn't being taken seriously, and it's 2025 as I type this so yeah... sadly, im not seeing any changes in society anytime soon
I gotta disagree on one point. People would joke about women being raped too, unfortunately. Basically both genders are getting mocked for that. At least in the shit hole that is twitter. In real life, mockery takes the form of not believing the victim or if it was a man, even a boy ffs, people would say "he's lucky" or of he expressed that he hated it, it would be "you sound like a pussy".
Thanks for bringing this up. This is disgusting. I had no idea. Rape is rape. It's disgusting and wrong... anyone giving this rapist a platform needs to be held accountable.
This is so disheartening and disgusting. SA is no joke regardless of gender and is especially hard on men, they have better group therapies and more information on how to help them but it's still not enough. Smh
Feel like I have been subscribed to your channel forever for this moment: Clinical psychotherapist with 25+ years checking in, and you’re definitely on to something. Over the course of literally thousands of hours with predominantly male-identifying clients, I can comfortably say that nothing, and I mean NOTHING terrifies them more than finally admitting a feeling, ANY feeling, only to be mocked for it.
You're off the mark on this one. His victims were all in prison; it's not a mental health issue. It's a prison issue. 2 things here; once you're labeled as a snitch, you have no social life, nobody will want to be around you for literally any reason. The second? you let someone do that to you and you didn't fight back? if you won't fight back over your a-hole, you're not not gonna fight back over someone taking your tv, taking your chips, taking your lunch, etc. you will literally be the walking doormat of the dorm who gets extorted by literally everyone. If you get your a-hole taken it's literally in your best interest for nobody to ever find out about it
@@LilT2o00 pretty sure you responded to the wrong person. I reread your comment three times and it obviously isn’t related to mine. Maybe answering a question not asked? I’m not sure. All good.
@@courtneyisaseagull the absolute worst is when they’ve been culturally trained to not feel emotions. Well, yeah, but emotions are involuntary, sooo. Really challenging and sad working with LEO, military, prison staff, former/ current inmates, etc. Culture tells them not to feel, which is impossible, so it takes folks like me months and often years to even get them to acknowledge feeling ANYTHING, let alone “scary/weak” feelings. (Spoiler: feelings aren’t weak, they just are.)
SAME HERE especially when that dude acts like it's some casual hangout talk, not even a serious interview. as a christian, i fully believe we need to make the world a better place and give love and help to those who need it, not make light of serious topics or hand a mic to those who intend to hurt people. so sad indeed
@ You think this dude is bad? Read the Bible. Your god is WAY worse. I mean, he sends people to burn in eternal flames simply for not believing in him.
This is really disgusting. If he sa'd a woman instead, This will be a whole different thing and would be treated differently. It's really disheartening to see this. I have a friend that was Sa'd by their neighbors and this video just reminds me of him. He tried to tell everyone but no one was believing him because people like this is spreading bs. We need to understand that everybody could be a victim and could be a damn predator. This is so wrong. I'm so fucking disgusted. Disturbing.
Plus the fact that people actually find this funny and not disturbing is beyond me. Everyone seriously needs to get the f off their phone and self-reflect. If you're laughing at people's story where they talk about sa'ing someone, You need to seek help. ASAP. We don't need more useless and disgusting people to be famous like that hawk tuah girl. Enjoy the damn spotlight as it won't shine and focus on you forever because people would eventually (and hopefully) realize that this is disturbing and he really shouldn't be famous for doing/admitting to these bs. I'm all about "second chances" but he clearly don't show remorse. RUclips really needs to rethink their stuff and what they should and shouldn't monetize out there.
Not to invalidate your point but I just think people are desensitized now. Like I saw a video on IG about a CHILD being rap3d and killed and the comments were just “game is game”. People are saying how they simp over Junko Furata, and saying how they would’ve done the same thing as the men who killed her. If you don’t know who that is it’s a very disturbing and disgusting case. Even the whole Diddy situation is just being memed and no one takes it seriously, just calling it “gay” and laughing at it all though men, women, and children were abused. People will comment on a video of a baby and say some shit like “game is game”. People do this with everyone. Even animals atp. Social media has caused people to not treat serious topics as serious anymore. Rap3 is basically a joke atp.
@@womanenjoyer22Dude this shit is so real, this generations ability to laugh off terrible shit is incredibly sad. Though for the Diddy shit I feel like at the beginning people took it seriously and were genuinely happy he got prison time and now they are just clowning on him which is 100x better then just forgetting about what he's done he deserves to he clowned on by everyone for the shit he's done.
This is the first time I’ve heard the actual word, not censored, not using other words to refer to it - on RUclips in sooo long omg. It’s ridiculous that RUclips censors these terms (even in a story or informational video like this) but allows basically porn and sexual bot scammers. They need to stop playing.
Didn’t even know Dude was out of prison until he started going a press tour. Glorifying this, giving him a platform, and including his cashapp in videos is actually asinine.
I got rejected for disability on social security, despite the psychologist that tested me saying I'll NEED disability on social security. Their excuse for rejecting me was that I am "functional enough to work". I don't have a job yet, so how would they know??? But yeah. It's (sometimes) true that men's mental health and disabilities aren't taken seriously.
As someone who talks a lot to people who specialize in helping women victims- trust me they ALL care about men too when it happens to men. Plenty of people who do ground work on these issues are intersectional , I promise you. I can't stand these MRA men who say they care and it is all women's fault, then laugh at men who suffer these things...
I fucking hate how the only people discussing men's mental health are misogynists. That I can't bring up how isolating it is to be a man without instantly being associated with the thousands of horrible people who only care about that because it gives them a point in some sort of back-and-forth. It's so sickening how 99% of people who say this shit are either trying to sell you something, or trying to downplay women's own suffering.
It's about time somebody addressed this. Good on you, man. And more RUclipsrs should have the balls to release content without worrying about a video being age restricted
And these same men wonder why women want nothing to do with them? These dudes think this heinous act is a joke at best and an option when all else fails. I wouldn't want to be around people who hang with serial assaulters, either.
I've never heard of any of this. What the hell is going on? That's not something to brag about. Also thank you for actually using the correct words to describe things. I hate what censors have done to language. Words mean things. Its not "essay" or "grape" and calling it that makes light of the horror. Doesn't help that I'm deaf and this kind of thing messes with captions, and if you don't know how words sound you will be completely lost.
It's genuinely so sad to see that movements promoting men's mental health may not be taken seriously because of people like him, when really those movements should be encouraged to instead help the male victims of r word be able to be open about their struggles
I was a corrections officer. Although this guy is likely just lying, SA is not acceptable. I dont care you are or what you've done to end up in prison, grape is simply not part of the punishment. Its one thing to make a joke, it is another to normalize the concept.
I'm sitting here in shock, awe and disgust. Prison is not supposed to be a torture chamber. It does none of us any good if we send criminals in to get abused and then release them. The joke of dudes getting violated in prison is not funny. That is not who we are as a society.
One thing we should do as people is to support SA victims when they speak up. If your male or female friend speak to you about this matter, *NEVER EVER* try to brush it off or make fun of them, even if you don't know what to do in that kind of situation, just be there for them... AND if your male or female friend is the predator, stop being friends with them. A good person would never commit such actions to other people.
I can't even really blame society for thinking male on male SA is funny because it's been a joke in media for decades. Look at one of the most famous cartoons ever that almost very kid has watched at least once, Looney tunes. Almost very episode that Bugs Bunny is in he is either dressing up like a woman to seduce a guy or kissing a guy to make him feel uncomfortable and that is seen as a joke all the way back then, pinned in our childhood minds that a male making another male feel demasculated and assaulted is funny. We kinda were conditioned to think it's funny way before we are taught that it's wrong.
Spent almost a decade of my life inside. Must say well done. You touch on the topic perfectly. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if this is a character he's playing and none of it is real, he doesn't seem to be built like that. Anyone that glorifies behavior like this shouldn't have their mental health taken seriously.
I genuinely do not understand how someone can sit down so close with someone like this and not be ill with anxiety. Perhaps it’s that I’m an assault victim myself, but… oh my god, even before that, I couldn’t imagine it. It’s disgusting that someone could stomach that, even more so that they could laugh about it. I’m not biased, am I? I doubt it, and I’d question anyone who said I was wrong.

Thanks for bringing this to light! Also, loving the new format. Although we’ve seen your face before, it’s nice to see the face behind the voice more often!!
it's deeply fucked up that our society treats rape as a joke just because the victim's a man. It's not just prison rape too, people ted to treat F on M spousal rape(F on M rape in general) as punchline more than even a whole joke. And that goes double if the victim was the one doing the penetrating. ("Oh, you shoulda just enjoyed it", "What are you, Gay?" etc). Likewise(if not moreso) if it's an F teacher(or other position of power) and M student(or subordinate) victim. People, including NEWS ANCHORS act like the victim 'got lucky' instead of being raped. Then again, ours is also a culture where a tiny-fingered rapist with 34 felonies can get off basically scott free and become president, or where a rapist can be let off without punishment or conviction because "he has his whole future ahead of him". Come to think of it, our culture seems to have a really fucked relationship with such a heinous act.
I think it's awesome that you're willing to risk demonetization to actually talk about something this serious. Things like this should be ignored, joked about, treated Luke it's no big deal, or tip toed around. It's a disgusting and horrible thing this guy has done, and it ls great to see someone actually willing to talk about it the way it needs to be talked about
The sad part is there was a similar situation with Terry crews when he told a story about how he was sexually assaulted in public and a celebrity party by a producer in Hollywood and how his whole entire situation got laughed at even by government officials and swept under the rug because that man had so much power with the police

@@GnosticElohim funny*
1st watch the boondocks b##ty warrior then go look up his real life interview.
Because this creator is LYING to you.
As girls we are taught about the threats of sexual assault from a young age and how to be safe and I don’t think the boys get the same attention and it’s important that they also know to protect themselves and we need to stop victim blaming and erasing. It can happen to anyone.
I can tell you as a grown man I have never once ever had that discussion nor was it considered a possibility I'm sure.
For real
I was five when my neighbour taught us girls who lived on the street how to defend ourselves in case we were attacked. He was a cop and thus had been taught how to evade getting grabbed etc. The moves he taught us were legit, by the way. I used some of them when I was assualted by a group of street burglars in Rome in my late teens.
Looking back almost 50 years later I am wondering if he knew something we never knew about. Was there some really horrible dude in our town and the nieghbour taught so that we would be prepared just in case? Because as far as I can remember he did not have the same self defence classes with the boys, so... yeah, there probably was some p*do living close by who preferred girls of kindergarten age.
This is so true, girls are taught from childhood to basically walk around afraid of men at every turn. After being SA'd as a kid, that fear and anxiety never left me. But hardly anyone has conversations with their sons about SA and inappropriate relationships with adults. I mean, male culture sits there and praises boys who are assaulted by their female teachers, instead of trying to help them and guide them through their trauma. It's so gross.
Parents, schools, and religion have been lying to people forever. It's how they ensure their authority and root out those who can think. For example, Men like what's pretty and also Pink because they like Women. Also, Young Women are not kept indoors at night because of Men. It's because of Her own Lust.
Being a survivor of human trafficking I've often spoken about my abuse and I cannot even begin to recall the amount of times I was mocked, harassed, told I deserved it ...etc. Honestly, it's a very toxic male culture some of us live in.
Ive never had that situation so I can't relate (Fortunately) although reading over this comment for the 4th time.. told you deserved it is insanely psyoctic, even if they said it as a joke Human trafficking is in no way something to be laughed at or mocked
I'm so sorry that happened to you ❤ I hope you're doing well and wish you all that's good and beautiful in this world!
Sure, Jan
It's not just a male culture. Many women would laugh at you as well. The sad fact is that in this day and age men are viewed as some sort of oppressor, and their wellbeing is not taken remotely seriously. It is even treated as something bad.
I am so sorry that you have experienced that. I hope you have supportive people in your life and get to heal. Its not your fault, and you dont deserve to be blamed for it

He would be a pariah. He should be punished and people should be standing against him. He is a monster. He needs to pay for what he has done.

Sorry this isnt much for how much you could potentially lose if you are demonetised.
I prey that it isn’t my husband is a mental health councillor and he has helped lots of men all ages. Men need to speak out more
Women don't magically get support. They have to be the perfect victims and fight and struggle to get anyone to listen. Women who have been through the same thing give support and they do to men too. The main issue is how rarely men will support each other in their mental health needs but will support awful men who do awful things.
Just seeing that, as this video shows, is so detrimental. Men have the power and need to take the lead in making changes. Women have been struggling for decades, they can't take the charge in men's mental health issues. The men are the ones supporting this weirdo, not women.

Agreed. I've seen many videos of men SAed by women, a huge amount of comments are men calling the victims lucky!

And why are people so chill with it ew I hate it here
I hate society's view of it too. They justify it based on things the victim can't control such as age or gender because they aren't as "innocent" or "can fight back"
Thank you, August. I'm a past victim, I truly appreciate the fact you're taking such a risk to talk about this man. These people aren't caught enough (referring to Offenders). I truly appreciate you bringing things to light. I won't be able to watch the video yet, since today is a trigger day (my PTSD is worse some days than others and this is one of them).

I hope the person you know is okay right now. Healing from this kind of assault is difficult, but just keep hoping that nothing will go wrong ever again.
See, I know a girl that happened to but I can't bring myself to admit who the girl is, I don't know if that's the same for you but I hope the person you know is doing okay the girl I know is. Male or female, it's never okay for some to do such a thing. Never.
I'm really glad you spoke about this because people don't talk about male sex abuse or take it seriously, and it's wrong. It's isolating to victims and perpetuates the crisis. Thank you for saying something!
As a Christian, I can't say I didn't have a visceral reaction to seeing a man take the notion "Follow God, not Culture" so lightly to the point where he would shamelessly, without remorse or compassion, wear it in a video where he idolizes an unapologetic and unsympathetic serial rapist. It's disgusting. He doesn't condemn or seriously question any of his actions or words so I know he isn't trying to help Johnson get on a better path in life. I have had non-Christian and Christian friends who were so clearly spiraling out of control that I stayed close to in order to pray for them and help them get back on track. But even then, I always kept a distance because actions and opinions can rub off onto you. It's clear this young man Hustler spirit clearly doesn't have any true friends to help him see that what he says and does don't line up with what he thinks he believes; neither does he desire to help Johnson see how his actions and words affect others.
My heart goes out to all male and female victims of such heinous crimes. May God give you justice; may God give you peace🤍
Appreciate you using your platform to speak out, August. This is messed up and I appreciate a man saying glorifying this behavior isn’t okay publicly.

@@TsukiKageTora I am not saying ALL. BUT I JUST WISH THE MAJORITY OF YOU TOOK IT SERIOUSLY. Look I get it there could be a generational thing. Older women in my family don't understand mental health. But AT LEAST when I talk to the younger generation, they TAKE it SERIOUSLY.
But so far? the other side of the pond? Yall still split on this.
I have brought up this issue with men in my life (not this gross dude, but having unresolved mental issues) and the answer always seems to be: "What good is talking about it going to do?" or "I can just talk to you about it." While I am happy to listen, I unfortunately never finished my psych degree after the epilepsy got out-of-hand and am nowhere near the hours I need to be qualified. I cannot provide the tools or resources that a licensed professional can. Yes, speaking to a professional is entirely different than family or friends. There is a reason they go to school and have to intern for so long. They use different methods (depending on what they studied in particular or currently practice) to help you approach issues from different angles with different actions to help end up with different (hopefully better) results than where you're at. I think this concept is woefully lost on the majority of boys and men out there- most especially the ones who need it the most.
The specific issue of rape has always been one met with skepticism and ridicule, regardless as to gender, but I can see that it is far less believed within the male community. This is astounding considering that 1 in 5 girls will experience childhood sexual abuse and 1 in 8 boys will. Now, that's just the reported numbers. I personally have not met another woman who hasn't experienced something horrific below the age of 17. I don't have any doubts the numbers are higher for men, too. I know it took my cousin a long time to get over the undue shame he felt, the questioning of his sexuality (children are not sexual beings, so this is a moot point), and ultimately feeling weak and disempowered from the whole experience. This idea that the only appropriate emotion for men to show is anger is stupid. You're just as human as the rest of us and anger is such a surface-level emotion. Dig deeper. What's beneath it? Frustration? Shame? Confusion? Digust? Remorse? Shock? Sadness? Regret? YOU ARE NOT ROBOTS: FEEL YOUR FEELS.
I had no idea this was going on on TikTok, but I definitely would have sent some emails to the US Team as it turns out they aren't doing the ban on Sunday (shocker.) I will say that it's a bit insulting to say that this mockery of victimization and giving a platform to predators is unique to men. Without getting too into it: look at those in positions of power. Look at freaking Nick Fuentes who single-handedly has traumatized an entire generation of school-aged girls with his stupid catchphrase.....which was immediately turned around on him in the form of, "Your house, my choice." Dude ran to mommy for safety while people destroyed his house. Such a based, red-pilled, alpha male right there. I live in a Frontline ban state where the threat of this very thing is made on a regular basis. Women and GIRLS are getting DMs with the most repugnant stuff ever written. I am honestly considering arming myself and I despise those things....but it is an ever-present and very real threat.
I genuinely recommend that anyone who has had any kind of traumatic event (that is defined by you, nobody else. It can be as simple as not feeling good about yourself because someone said really ugly things to you), give counseling a go before you knock it, ESPECIALLY if you have the insurance to do so. It is a process of trial and error to find the right one, but most do free consultations where you can ask questions and get to know them a bit.
Highly recommend going through Psychology Today as they do some pretty damn good vetting on the people they list. You can filter by preferred age, gender, background, method of meeting (online/in-person), ect. You just shoot off some request for consults and you'll usually hear back in a very short amount of time (they really do want to help. Most go into this line of work because they care, not for the money). Alma is also a good resource, but whatever way you get there- give it a go. No judgement, nobody telling you how messed up you are, just someone listening and trying to help.
As a person who listens to true crime this is NOT something we are board with. This is disgusting. I don’t want to hear from the person doing the heinous crimes
You're right, my heart goes out to so many men who can't say anything about horrible things that happen to them or how they are feeling because of this culture. It's so sad
has nothing to do with culture; has to do with being labeled a snitch. If you have beef with someone in prison, you go to a secluded spot and you handle business 1 v 1 w/ the other person. If you let someone take your hole, and then snitch on top of it? be prepared to get taken advantage of every step of the way. If you wouldn't fight for your a$$hole, you think people believe you're gonna fight over your bag of chips they took from you? and if you snitch; you're known as a snitch, nobody is going to trust you for anything; it's social su1cide in prison
Prison culture is way different this has nothing to do with male victims outside of prison in any way
@LilT2o00 i mean as a whole outside of prison
I wasn’t aware about this situation so I found it shocking asf. People are acting like he didn’t rape heaps of people? Who the fuck thought it was a great idea to release this disgusting man? Thank you for making this vid August, as it made people like me more aware of this situation.
He did his time; they released him. That's how prison works. As far as the people r@ped? you think they're gonna admit they let another man take his hole? then on top of that not handle it themselves (aka defend themselves) AND be labeled as a snitch after? which puts a huge target on their back? can't prosecute a crime that's never even been alleged to have happened
@@LilT2o00 its bs this old man would have been shanked or snitched on if he did what he said he did
@@Jmack1llano rape im prison doesnt usually mean you'll get murked. Only if its against a child, the elderly or disabled
he did the time for the crime...it's okay to be optimistic because some people genuinely do come out as better people after having that long to sit in prison. however you got guys like tim lambesis from AIDL.
@@LilT2o00 but you do see how messed up it is seeing the guy who victimized you on social media? And nobody “LET” him do anything. Dude’s a r@pist! This is what August is talking about!!
You can tell these guys don't take the situation seriously because they aren't even afraid of him doing it to them, instead they are joking with him. Like if you were interviewing a murderer, most likely in the back of your mind, you would think that there is a possibility that the murderer you are interviewing could kill you.
He's not gay; he was just in a place w/ no women now that he's out of prison men don't have to be scared of him now that he has access to women again. Dude was "gay for the stay" (aka you like sex; but you only have sex with men because there are no women)
I didn't know about that guy... Any image promoting r*p*sts or other criminals should be banned, unless it is ment to make people aware that that kind of monster exists... I agree with everything you say in that video. Thanks for speaking about this!
I enjoy this kind of content. I wouldn't mind more serious content from you. Makes me sad that I see the same kinds of jokes you were addressing in your comment section.
People need to realize that just because someone does something really bad, that doesn't mean it justifies it being done to them. We have a justice system in order to mete out punishment, but we don't just retaliate blindly. Advocating raping someone, and/or making fun of them for being raped, even if they are a heinous criminal, is disgusting. These people should be ashamed.
You've got a great point, R is R, shouldn't be made fun of or profited off the back of. Even if incarcerated, you've got you sentence, still doesn't give a free pass to abuse others.
If YT demonitise videos from bloggers highlighting issues then shame on them, I've not seen this guy on TikTok, but those videos with the circles, blatantly all to keep attention and make money out of this.
What I find disgusting is the amount of people, even IRL, who will say "yeah but the people locked up with him probably deserved it". 1. No they don't, but 2:
We know of the failings of DNA labs that sent people to prison for 10+ years for crimes they didn't commit, and those were the honest mistakes.
There is an ongoing investigation in Colorado that affects over 650 cases, and they haven't even finished going through 1 examiner's results. And that's just one state, one examiner. There's evidence, still in Colorado, that other labs were doing similar things under pressure from the prosecution and investigators (DA, Sheriffs) to basically cover for otherwise weak evidence.
@@smalltime0 also on top of that many prisoners couldve been innocent people framed, or scapegoated, meaning theyre falsely imprisoned
@ That's part of how the Colorado cases came about. The "evidence" was quite often people with a reason to lie for whatever reason (part of a plea, even if they didn't do it themselves etc) or just being vague 'witness' testimony that the prosecution needed a DNA match to actually make solid.
Yeah, it's really disgusting seeing people joke about it happening in prison or even going to far as to wish it upon people.
What breaks my brain is that often these people will also speak out against this outside of a prison context.
This is absolutely disgusting. I can sort of understand average people just making corny jokes offhandedly about this stuff, like what the internet did with diddy and all, but at some point it goes too far. At some point the jokes aren’t funny anymore and are just downright horrendous. This sort of content shouldn’t be deemed as “hilarious”, it should be banned and not even given a platform in the first place. This guy deserves to be held in solitary. Thank you for talking about this August, you’re a real one for that.
i’m glad you’re able to talk about uncomfortable things without fear of losing money. brings me hope for people
Earth being hit by an asteroid is not a fear anymore, it is a hope.
I'm a SAV. It's nice seeing people like you showing awareness more. All throughout when I was a kid, I would hear "men can't be rapped" and other stuff. Keep up the fight. Honestly, I hope the tourneys promoting this creep loses platform

I have no words, I’m horrified, I’m absolutely disgusted that something that has ruined my life, and I can’t recover from ever. is being glorified online.
A few months ago, RUclips changed the monetisation policy so that people could discuss this topic without being demonetised, I remember because I was so relieved. I hope they haven’t backtracked on that, and that you don’t get essentially fined for speaking about something that deeply affects so many people
the amount of respect i have for august making this video is incomprehensible. he felt like he needs to talk about this and he did, i don’t think he’s afraid. this is why he’s one of my favorite youtubers, you got this man, keep doing what your doing !!!
mad respect man for actually saying fuck ad rev and all that to talk about a serious thing, never let integrity be bought like most these "content creators"
The fact theres such a double standard that everyone has to call out the double standard by saying "imagine if it was a woman" so people would have basic empathy is pitiful
Ik everyone already knows that but who are these people with these double standards?? These people be walking outside irl?? These are people we see everyday???-
To further elaborate, it's not even enough to say if it is a woman. You have to say what if it was your mother, your sister, your niece, etc. because as a culture we are too comfortable pointing fingers at "imperfect" victims and blaming them for the actions of others. The culture is fucked.
It’s horrific how we treat rape victims in general seeing as many women get victim blamed and men just have ppl laugh at them like it wasn’t a horrific horrible disgusting experience
You know what else is crazy? Jared Fogle is going to be released in around 5 years.

August, this could be your graduation from talking about things that don't matter, to talking about things that very much DO matter. Successful RUclipsrs evolve, I say embrace the change. Talk about what you care about. This video ate, I say keep making them.

Holy shit, I am so acclimated to this subject being censored to oblivion, it’s refreshing to hear someone talk so bluntly about it.
Thank you for bringing attention to this.
Being raised male I will say, the idea that boys and men can be victims of abuse of any kind is often played off as a joke, it is gross and sickening and the fact that this monster is being treated like a celebrity is absolutely disgusting. How can men's health and safety ever be taken seriously when people are treating people like this like they are good people or worthy of attention. I can also guarantee that not a single one of the people that he abused has ever received the help that they need. This is whole heartedly disturbing. Men are no different to women in this regard they are just as vulnerable and this topic SHOULD NEVER be treated as a joke. The damage that this kind of abuse does to someone is HUGE. I have known 2 people that have been victims of rape and both have struggled with serious mental health issues and depression since it is not a joke
Because deep down culture and society sees men as disposable
WHY IS THIS MAN FREE LET ALONE OLD & BREATHING ?!??!
Thank you for covering this. Absolutely horrifying
It’s called he served his time.
@ GTFO that is the only crime that goes unpunished behind bars. My dad worked at a prison for 10 years & he’s told me terrible stories, including men like him. But every other violent encounter is punishable.
You’re telling on yourself
@@boogidwnej179 if fleece actually served time for all +150 individuals he hurt, he'd still be in jail, even if he only got a few months for each offense. the reason he isn't serving more time is because of how society and media are treating him like a silly goofy weirdo instead of the serial r*pist he is.

@@stonerchan3000 I bet you date white boys 🤣🤣
This is also a big issue in interrogation videos. I love true crime, but there's always so many comments talking about how they hope the suspect gets assaulted in jail, etc. They talk about how it isn't supposed to happen, but it does, and guards love to overlook it, or even instigate it.
The disgusting comments people post about it, encouraging it, laughing about it, wishing it on people. It's awful.
I am in complete agreement with you on this.
And men's mental health is beyond overlooked, it pisses me off when men's feeling get downplayed or when they get teased, I will very vocally bash someone for even jokingly bashing a guy about something meaningful he said because it's hard enough for men's mental\emotional health to be taken seriously!!
The fact they call him “the booty warrior” makes me sick. All of this is sad. I feel bad for anyone that has to be around this guy, makes me want to throw up tbh
This makes me fucking sick to my stomach. Thank you for bringing this to attention. Anyone giving him a platform should lose EVERYTHING immediately.
btw this was when I realised Lex Fridman was just a grifter. He had a high profile drug runner on his show once and treated him like he was some kind of royalty. It was beyond disgusting and at that moment I realized what Lex was really all about.

This guy should be put under the damn jail.

I can't imagine having a guy like this IN MY OWN HOME and laughing with him like it's all good and nothing he did was horrible. I applaud you for talking about this in a mature, none exploitative manner. All content creators should have a moral compass like yours. Keep up the good fight and know you're a beacon of hope that maybe not every internet personality is a soulless wannabe celebrity with no ethics. I know you're young but when you turn 35 I would vote for a duck to be my president!!!
I hate the double standards most people have. If he had done this to women, no one would be joking around about it as much, or they wouldn't joke about it at all. It's a horrible crime to commit against anybody. I hope that mens mental health is actually taken seriously in the future, but I somehow doubt it because stuff like this still isn't being taken seriously, and it's 2025 as I type this so yeah... sadly, im not seeing any changes in society anytime soon
society is shitty
Of course. Because a man should be able to protect himself. Fleece ain’t taking my booty for sure 😂😂 I’d die first
I gotta disagree on one point. People would joke about women being raped too, unfortunately. Basically both genders are getting mocked for that. At least in the shit hole that is twitter.
In real life, mockery takes the form of not believing the victim or if it was a man, even a boy ffs, people would say "he's lucky" or of he expressed that he hated it, it would be "you sound like a pussy".
@@princememphis7726so i take it you dont think mens mental health matters?

This is so disheartening and disgusting. SA is no joke regardless of gender and is especially hard on men, they have better group therapies and more information on how to help them but it's still not enough. Smh
Feel like I have been subscribed to your channel forever for this moment:
Clinical psychotherapist with 25+ years checking in, and you’re definitely on to something.
Over the course of literally thousands of hours with predominantly male-identifying clients, I can comfortably say that nothing, and I mean NOTHING terrifies them more than finally admitting a feeling, ANY feeling, only to be mocked for it.
Saying that the mens mental health people are just the people who blame everything on women is insane though.
You're off the mark on this one. His victims were all in prison; it's not a mental health issue. It's a prison issue. 2 things here; once you're labeled as a snitch, you have no social life, nobody will want to be around you for literally any reason. The second? you let someone do that to you and you didn't fight back? if you won't fight back over your a-hole, you're not not gonna fight back over someone taking your tv, taking your chips, taking your lunch, etc. you will literally be the walking doormat of the dorm who gets extorted by literally everyone. If you get your a-hole taken it's literally in your best interest for nobody to ever find out about it

@@courtneyisaseagull the absolute worst is when they’ve been culturally trained to not feel emotions. Well, yeah, but emotions are involuntary, sooo.
Really challenging and sad working with LEO, military, prison staff, former/ current inmates, etc. Culture tells them not to feel, which is impossible, so it takes folks like me months and often years to even get them to acknowledge feeling ANYTHING, let alone “scary/weak” feelings. (Spoiler: feelings aren’t weak, they just are.)
The dude with the "follow God not culture" shirt is concerning. As a christian myself, its sad to see that hes laughing with that man.
But the bible says rape is okay, so what's the problem? Ah, you haven't read it, have you.
SAME HERE especially when that dude acts like it's some casual hangout talk, not even a serious interview. as a christian, i fully believe we need to make the world a better place and give love and help to those who need it, not make light of serious topics or hand a mic to those who intend to hurt people. so sad indeed
God not Jesus. Which God? A form of Godliness but denying the power thereof.
@ You think this dude is bad? Read the Bible. Your god is WAY worse. I mean, he sends people to burn in eternal flames simply for not believing in him.
As an Atheist, the hypocrisy of wearing that hoodie to "interview" this terrible person is unsettling as fuck.
This is really disgusting. If he sa'd a woman instead, This will be a whole different thing and would be treated differently. It's really disheartening to see this. I have a friend that was Sa'd by their neighbors and this video just reminds me of him. He tried to tell everyone but no one was believing him because people like this is spreading bs. We need to understand that everybody could be a victim and could be a damn predator. This is so wrong. I'm so fucking disgusted. Disturbing.
Plus the fact that people actually find this funny and not disturbing is beyond me. Everyone seriously needs to get the f off their phone and self-reflect. If you're laughing at people's story where they talk about sa'ing someone, You need to seek help. ASAP. We don't need more useless and disgusting people to be famous like that hawk tuah girl. Enjoy the damn spotlight as it won't shine and focus on you forever because people would eventually (and hopefully) realize that this is disturbing and he really shouldn't be famous for doing/admitting to these bs. I'm all about "second chances" but he clearly don't show remorse. RUclips really needs to rethink their stuff and what they should and shouldn't monetize out there.
Not to invalidate your point but I just think people are desensitized now. Like I saw a video on IG about a CHILD being rap3d and killed and the comments were just “game is game”. People are saying how they simp over Junko Furata, and saying how they would’ve done the same thing as the men who killed her. If you don’t know who that is it’s a very disturbing and disgusting case. Even the whole Diddy situation is just being memed and no one takes it seriously, just calling it “gay” and laughing at it all though men, women, and children were abused. People will comment on a video of a baby and say some shit like “game is game”. People do this with everyone. Even animals atp. Social media has caused people to not treat serious topics as serious anymore. Rap3 is basically a joke atp.
@@womanenjoyer22Dude this shit is so real, this generations ability to laugh off terrible shit is incredibly sad.

I got rejected for disability on social security, despite the psychologist that tested me saying I'll NEED disability on social security. Their excuse for rejecting me was that I am "functional enough to work". I don't have a job yet, so how would they know??? But yeah. It's (sometimes) true that men's mental health and disabilities aren't taken seriously.

This exact same thing happens to women all the time. This is not a men's problem. This is a mental health problem.
As someone who talks a lot to people who specialize in helping women victims- trust me they ALL care about men too when it happens to men. Plenty of people who do ground work on these issues are intersectional , I promise you. I can't stand these MRA men who say they care and it is all women's fault, then laugh at men who suffer these things...
Idk those men are gonna come in this comment section and start doing that all over again I hate it so much
This comment needs to be pinned
I fucking hate how the only people discussing men's mental health are misogynists. That I can't bring up how isolating it is to be a man without instantly being associated with the thousands of horrible people who only care about that because it gives them a point in some sort of back-and-forth. It's so sickening how 99% of people who say this shit are either trying to sell you something, or trying to downplay women's own suffering.
It's about time somebody addressed this. Good on you, man. And more RUclipsrs should have the balls to release content without worrying about a video being age restricted
Keep going dude! You have voice and we are listening! Everyone with a good head on their shoulders will resonate with this.
People platforming someone glorifying rape is insane.
Here before it gets taken down lol. I do not understand why they can say rape or murder on tv, but forbidden here. So stupid.
I'm glad RUclips hasn't age-restricted this. It needs to be spoken about.
This is the first time I'm hearing about this, and it's f*cked up.
And these same men wonder why women want nothing to do with them? These dudes think this heinous act is a joke at best and an option when all else fails. I wouldn't want to be around people who hang with serial assaulters, either.
I've never heard of any of this. What the hell is going on? That's not something to brag about.
Also thank you for actually using the correct words to describe things. I hate what censors have done to language. Words mean things. Its not "essay" or "grape" and calling it that makes light of the horror. Doesn't help that I'm deaf and this kind of thing messes with captions, and if you don't know how words sound you will be completely lost.

It's genuinely so sad to see that movements promoting men's mental health may not be taken seriously because of people like him, when really those movements should be encouraged to instead help the male victims of r word be able to be open about their struggles
I was a corrections officer. Although this guy is likely just lying, SA is not acceptable. I dont care you are or what you've done to end up in prison, grape is simply not part of the punishment. Its one thing to make a joke, it is another to normalize the concept.
August, thank you for bringing things like this to light even if it’s a risk. Your a real one man.
I'm sitting here in shock, awe and disgust.
Prison is not supposed to be a torture chamber. It does none of us any good if we send criminals in to get abused and then release them. The joke of dudes getting violated in prison is not funny. That is not who we are as a society.
Exactly. It is just creepy. It's even worse that people are making so much content about this guy.
One thing we should do as people is to support SA victims when they speak up. If your male or female friend speak to you about this matter, *NEVER EVER* try to brush it off or make fun of them, even if you don't know what to do in that kind of situation, just be there for them...
AND if your male or female friend is the predator, stop being friends with them. A good person would never commit such actions to other people.
I can't even really blame society for thinking male on male SA is funny because it's been a joke in media for decades. Look at one of the most famous cartoons ever that almost very kid has watched at least once, Looney tunes. Almost very episode that Bugs Bunny is in he is either dressing up like a woman to seduce a guy or kissing a guy to make him feel uncomfortable and that is seen as a joke all the way back then, pinned in our childhood minds that a male making another male feel demasculated and assaulted is funny. We kinda were conditioned to think it's funny way before we are taught that it's wrong.
Spent almost a decade of my life inside. Must say well done. You touch on the topic perfectly. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if this is a character he's playing and none of it is real, he doesn't seem to be built like that. Anyone that glorifies behavior like this shouldn't have their mental health taken seriously.

it's deeply fucked up that our society treats rape as a joke just because the victim's a man. It's not just prison rape too, people ted to treat F on M spousal rape(F on M rape in general) as punchline more than even a whole joke. And that goes double if the victim was the one doing the penetrating. ("Oh, you shoulda just enjoyed it", "What are you, Gay?" etc). Likewise(if not moreso) if it's an F teacher(or other position of power) and M student(or subordinate) victim. People, including NEWS ANCHORS act like the victim 'got lucky' instead of being raped.
Then again, ours is also a culture where a tiny-fingered rapist with 34 felonies can get off basically scott free and become president, or where a rapist can be let off without punishment or conviction because "he has his whole future ahead of him".
Come to think of it, our culture seems to have a really fucked relationship with such a heinous act.
I think it's awesome that you're willing to risk demonetization to actually talk about something this serious. Things like this should be ignored, joked about, treated Luke it's no big deal, or tip toed around. It's a disgusting and horrible thing this guy has done, and it ls great to see someone actually willing to talk about it the way it needs to be talked about
