@MentORPHEUS Dude though, it's not like that Tate needed to convince all women that he's their husband for them to do cam work. It pays well. He has a team behind them telling them what to do, and supporting them when they feel like shit for not making good money one day. He definitely manipulates women into working harder and staying motivated though. We'll see how much of that ends up being illegal, and how much of it is just pimp-lite. Is there some standard operating procedure for keeping a hoard of sexy women motivated to spread their vagina on camera?

I'll say that the thing that I find pretty lame about your assessment is that you've watched one video of a lawyer reading excerpts from the prosecutors case, and then you've strongly formed an opinion and also saying that you don't want to do a "deep dive" on it. At the end of the day, like everyone else you aged out of being a hippy right into being a yuppy.

You don't feel that the slippery slope of "loveboy trafficking" is a relevant threat to your freedom because you live in a giant state, and in a giant country. Over here in Europe with tiny countries "loverboy trafficking" could become overly broad. Look at Julian Assange. His legal adventure began when he was charged in Sweden for "rape" because he didn't use a condom. These things are all fucked up over here. I don't want anything to do with the EU (or the US).

These legal games are bad. I know of an American who did at least 1.5 years in Moldova jail in six month increments. He might still be rotting there on his fourth cycle. So America applies for extradition, and Moldova then denies (presumably because it does not fit their legal requirements). However, they hold him there during this process as their laws allow this. Then at the end of 180 days he would exit the jail house onto the streets where the same two police would arrest him again based upon a new extradition request. Another 6 months. So he is disappeared into system, not getting credit for time served, unable to appeal because he's just waiting for the system to work.

It's a nasty world out there. International law can be gamed big time into losing people between the cracks. So yeah, after seeing that it disturbs me that someone can be put in jail for months without having charges filed. That passes for normal in European justice.

Another detail that you don't want to "deep dive" about (while having a yuppy opinion) is that two of the "victims" bounced out of Romania to travel around to extremely expensive places blinging all kinds of cash. Then they "could not be reached" in Romania. However, they were on Instagram demonstrating wealth that is far beyond what they should have access to. They were paid to be a part of the prosecution. Then they're gone. Games.

Of course, this is why you don't go to or live in Romania. It's a shit hole. Tate is also a scammer. But is he a "loverboy". I shit on the concept of it.

@Desaint & @Lionsmane8 The fact is, there is no meaning to anything, except the meaning you give it. Life is meaningless, and that is difficult for many humans to accept, yet this is my greatest gift you. By rendering life meaningless, I give you the opportunity to decide what anything and everything means to you.

Furthermore people usually define themselves based on the outcomes of their decisions. And according to unspoken rules of "The matrix":

1. You are what you own
2. What people say and think about you is all-important
3. Extreme emotions should be repressed
4. Plugged-in people should always compare themselves to others
5. Plugged-in humans are defined above all by externals.

Thus when a particular thing (good or bad) happens, people usually ask themselves why it is happening, instead of choosing a meaning for themselves. This, plus low levels of self-awareness allows for a weak internal-dialog (self-hypnosis) that leads to resentment of self or resentment of others.
