Yep. He's a narcissist whos obsessed with his own image/youth and when he keeps getting older and looking older and older it's only going to get more ridiculous and outrageous. He's clearly got a lot of emotional and psychological baggage. Guaranteed his obsession is only going to make him crazier when he's still creeping on those teenage boys.
The fact that james SWITCHED out of ig instead of just dming him through ig he goes specifically over to Snapchat where everything disappears and can monitor screenshots etc. Why switch out of ig? Right there. Somethings shady
@@bg6358 true ya... but there’s high end dating apps that are super private for celebrities or super wealthy people. At this point honestly, if you’re still finding guys on your ig where ages are plainly visible and heading over to Snapchat... ugh I hate to say it but it does sound like repetitive predator hunting a little bit.... harsh but starting to feel true 😬🤷♀️
It’s so sad too because when you’re young you don’t realize the severity of these predators. When I was in 7th grade this guy added me on Snapchat and was sending me shirtless photos. He was in college and said he was talking to me because I was “so mature for my age.” Now that I’m an adult, and a mother, I realize how truly fucked up it was!
The checking for passport/ID line is so passive-aggressive and clearly shows that James does not intend on stopping this behavior until he's forced to.
Checking for password and ID is not passive aggressive. It is a literal precaution he has to take now in order to ensure the people he’s talking about aren’t lying
@@thomasstewart3170 You think he's really going to do that? You're clearly not reading into the sarcasm of his statement, he's saying it in an eye-rolling tone of "I guess I have to ask for ID now".
yes, exactly and the worst part is he knows the power that he holds over young people and even just people in general... if you’ve ever seen Bojack horseman.... it is a perfect fucking example of the amount of power that somebody can have over a plethora of people and not even realize it.
He’s basically playing “young boys on social media” Russian roulette and is hoping that the next one won’t expose him. He needs to stop cruising god damn socials looking for love and sign up on a site like Raya for someone that is more age appropriate. Enough with the excuses already ... ughhhh
Not a good spot to find age inappropriate males though, which is what he's into. This isn't the first allegation, and won't be the last. He needs therapy. Someone to help him come to terms with his sexual preference, accept it, and figure out why its there to begin with. Likely the result of some childhood trauma. Often our attraction profile is influenced by trauma far more than we realize. I did work on my own, and my attraction profile completely changed.
just watched Nikita Drauguns snapchat story and she said that it’s so sad you and Trisha are “terrorizing influencers with crazy accusations” - basically referring to James Charles and David Dobrik, how disgusting!
Bro even if the kid had “bad intentions” ITS STILL A CHILD. YOU’RE THE ADULT, you take the responsibility and accountability. 2021 we need to stop giving the benefit of the doubt to these terrible people we make insanely rich!!!
i know this is a 7 month old comment but really i am so fucking fed up with ppl expecting kids to be accountable for what adults do. i hate that james has somehow gotten his platform back. take the kid's actions out of the equation, like it literally does not fucking matter. YOU fucked up james, YOU groomed a kid, YOU got careless/predatory. thats on YOU. YOU YOU YOU.
In every apology James Charles does, it's clear he has 0 idea that what he's doing is wrong. He always shifts blame to the 16 year old kid that he is pursuing instead of taking any accountability at all. The amount of times this has happened is insane and it's crazy that he's not completely canceled everywhere
I have learned to love this podcast... I love Ethan... I love his personality.& I love how he and his wife interact... I love how he & his wife have given Trisha a chance to be her..& even when things got hard you guys didn’t give up... she has been able to be safe being just who she is..& she’s growing..& she’s beautiful both inside and out... I love your whole team
I really do love Hila and the dynamic between him and Trish, but I'm honestly really suspicious about Ethan. He's done some not-so-great things in the past that have been shrugged off, and there's definitely a reason other youtubers stopped talking to him.
@@alita8900 I’m new to Ethan so all I know is him with trish... I’m hoping & praying this works out for trish.. I also have BPD so I understand unfortunately too much about trish.. I’ve had to work really hard..& I see trish doing her work.. I’m really hoping this works out great
This doesn't apply to everyone, but my theory is that a lot of these young adults are still undeveloped emotionally. This isn't specific to the controversy with James, but I mean in-general. A lot of them are super immature and reckless, but society views them as legal adults and thrusts all this responsibility on them that they're obviously not prepared for or care about. I think the offense rate would drastically change if we prepared our teens better for adulthood rather than just saying "You're an adult now, be responsible" because that doesn't change the offense rate. Instead of teaching kids core classes, we should teach teach them social learning skills so they don't engage in predatory behavior or any other type of criminal behavior.
If someone lied to me about their age and I found out that they were 15 instead I would be so creeped out and so much more careful. This can happen to you like once or maybe even twice, but not 5 times in less than 3 months. That is just abnormal and disgusting.
Im not one to presume guilt, but I genuinely don’t understand how you end up in these situations if your intentions are pure. Like it’s really easy to avoid, don’t flirt with fans and ask folks for ID. Simple. “He lied about his age” shouldn’t even be a possibility. If they look young, don’t talk to them. If you still choose to, again, ask for ID and take a screenshot of it, or yk just don’t flirt with them.
If you have to ask to see any type of identification before having to "talk" to someone, you shouldn't be talking to them in the first place. JC has not learned at all and doesn't see anything wrong with his actions. He's gross and needs to be stopped.
I am 26 and have never been in a relationship in my life. I had my first date 4 years ago, never had a girlfriend though. Girls make it pretty clear that they have no interest in me and I am okay with that. It isn’t the end of the world. Happiness is doing what gives your life meaning; your passion is a factor of happiness. Companionship is just another factor of that happiness as well; companionship ship isn’t complete happiness. I have my own values and engage them; it ain’t the end of the world for me to remain single the rest of my life because other things makes you live life. Get a fucking life Charles
I think James suffered trauma when he was super young and therefore his emocional development stopped at that point. And it's just getting high-key dangerous because he's growing up and won't stop liking people the age he was when he went through trauma.
James even did the typical apology video where he states the CURRENT time and how he’s all ALONE in front of the camera. Trish was right lol they use this as a way to come across more “serious”.
@Inked Kreative I've only seen the first bit here, but James just uploaded his most recent apology about ten minutes before this podcast. So.. nope. He's just failing over and over. Lol.
I love how relentless you are with this little punk. I find what you guys are doing with regard to calling out childhood sexual abuse, and grooming, quite heroic.
So he admitted to it... and the excuse of not knowing the victims real age is shaky at best. He is a powerful individual with a large underage fan base, and it does not occur to him that he should ask for ID? Like, the boy doesn't look older than 15-16, so as the adult, James should have demanded for some age proof, or cut ties entirely. But instead, he victim blamed and gaslighted the victim 😭
You're not wrong. It's really weird behavior. Anyone that knows #meetoo knows power imbalance assault issues. On top of them being minors. And you do know when someone looks 15 or should.
The fact that he said he told me he loved me and also lewd photo’s of himself in the shower the fact that him taking photo’s in the shower got his attention is crazy
Anyone who's a survivor of any sorta creepy shit don't be afraid or ashamed to speak your story. And everything is still possible for us I've watched my whole life get built up from nothing through healing and time. Times amazing so have hope and don't stop looking for the right people to hear your story who will support you in the way you need, they will come just be open to it x be kind to you
Funny part is in his apology video he said he found him on his for you page, but yet claimed he didn’t look into the child’s Instagram account where he could have clearly seen his age.
He went to my high school and deadass catfishes the whole soccer team and nobody talks about it but everyone from our town knows lolol he also used to match pitch with the automated bell in between periods but that’s my own personal trauma
I started watching predator poachers Toronto and predator poachers, it’s scary how many pedophiles are out there and they look like normal people, many with families... They never change almost all are repeat offenders or tell stories to the children about other sexual experiences they’ve had with kids. Some disgusting shit🤢
I live in toronto and i am so grateful for that channel. they deserve to be exposed to the world. So scary how many predators are walking around freely , like you said they just look like normal everyday people and have families. It’s so unsettling
That’s just what happens with incredibly narcissistic people, they rarely have an accurate view of themselves or in this situation, what they did wrong.
Some phones have 2 ways to take screenshots, so if you're on Snapchat, it doesn't tell the other person that you took a screenshot. I had the LG G4, G5, and G6 and they never notified the other person that I took any screenshots. Just a little note for people to realize, Snapchat isn't always foolproof when it comes to that
You can take screen shots on snap chat without the app telling the person if you just zoom out of the app as if you're about to close your apps down then just crop it full size again
I don't get how asking for ID seems to not be common practice in USA already, even considering how many problems are regarding this topic in the video. In my country is pretty common.
Austin Jones got away with flirting and asking CP videos from litteral children for so long.... he even admitted it on video and his fans defended him and forgave him for that. This dude is now in jail but he was protected by the very people that he was targeting for a long time... How on earth is this happening again???
He went from being soft spoken and slow to speaking aggressive and fast. (what a act) He said he wasn’t going to defend himself and then proceeded to defend himself.
If you have to ask someone if they are of legal consenting age, that disgusts me. Even if they are 18, they LOOK LIKE A CHILD. imo that's "legal" P word.
I've been wondering where the parents are of these teens because he just needs to be charged, period. It’s really sad that people have had accusations and charges against them and have ultimately been put in jail for much less.
It is strange that all these kids that look underage turn out to be underage. And that James keep going after kids that look underage but he still hopes are of age... It's as if he has a "type"...
I commented under an IO video about this and said that james shouldn't have a platform etc. SO MANY OF HIS FANS responded saying it was the "Victims fault" since they didn't say their age. It's infuriating how all these kids defending him are oblivious of what consent, victimization, and statutory r*pe means. Nobody understands that people under the age of 18 aren't capable of consenting to anything with an adult. They aren't legally, ethically, and morally accountable for the abuse they receive by an adult. James was the adult in all 6 of these instances and should ALWAYS be held accountable, it's up to him to do research on the people he's being intimate with.
7:56 I feel like the convo continued to Snapchat because snaps can be cleared and gives options for it to show notifications, screenshots, saved, or unsaved convos... he felt like this was risky from the start and should have just HALTED- 😓
