I think it depends on which definition of pedophile you’re using. If you mean the act of abuse, then the fame gave them the opportunity and unless pre crime is wrong they weren’t pedophiles prior to the act so in some sense it did make them a pedo (but obviously they’re still responsible for their own actions). If you mean the mental disorder of being attracted to minors, then it’s likely they always were, I don’t think fame would make you suddenly desire that.
So many people I used to watch when YT first started were discovered to be pedophiles or rapists… 😟
i briefly watched Onision until it dawned on me what a massive narcissistic douche he is…
How right i was
🤔
i wonder if the fame turned them into that or they were always pedos to begin with
I’d imagine it’s always been there, but their fame gave them access to a devoted fanbase willing to do anything for them.
And then things just devolve…
Probably caused a feedback loop. He could have grown out of being a douche, but his audience was built on him being a douche and fed that behavior.
So many of these early youtubers gave me bad vibes turned into shitheels later on doesn’t surprise me.
