“For no reason” (Telling people with a medical disease to follow a specific diet which is contrary to what actual experts recommend)

I never ever delete comments on CZcams. Sometimes they are held by a spam filter (if it senses certain words it puts them in a separate folder to be approved or denied) or sometimes the person who made the original comment deletes theirs and the thread disappears. I would only delete comments for a couple of reasons: 1) spam, people advertising things that often aren’t even related to the video 2) actual insults directed at me or someone else that aren’t warranted, like racism, homophobia etc. In a lot of my comment sections you will see people insulting me, which just goes to show how little I delete. I can’t think of a single comment I deleted in the past 12 months 🙂

I don’t think the genders need to be segregated and only work with their own gender. Both mentioned above need to just keep it appropriate, whoever they’re training 🤷🏼‍♀️

@@loztandfound2708 sure, but it's also foolish to ignore reality. We're sexual creatures, and no one is surprised at all when things happen between a male and an attractive fit female or vice versa. Acting outraged when the entirely predictable happens is silly. Like leaving a child alone with a cookie and telling them not to eat it. We're happy when the kid shows self control, but it'd be silly to be surprised when they don't.

As a guy I’ve had this from both female and male trainers. I’d say a better solution is just for trainers to not do it.

Two common sense pieces of advice that some people don’t seem to consider 😂

You want the recipe for rice? Rice. Sometimes you also add water.

Please don’t imply I am “virtue signalling” by trying to make my audience aware of someone within my industry that is known for shady tactics. I literally have people on my following list who message me about this guy, saying other things he has done or thanking me for making a video about it because they had no idea he does these things. Saying I can’t stop his predatory behaviour so it’s virtue signalling for me to make a video is akin to saying I can’t stop VShred trying to scam people so it’s virtue signalling for me to warn people about their shady marketing. I am simply doing my bit to try and keep my audience safe.

Found the incel! Let's destroy your points one at a time shall we? (this isn't for you, you aren't going to change, you aren't capable of change, it's for everyone else to expose you for what you are and embarrass you, which to be honest is worse than death for someone as insecure as yourself). 1. You don't care. Well, you seem to care quite a bit to go off on a right wing victim signaling rant. So Maury is gonna call that one a lie. 2. You think that any curbing of his behavior by pulling licensing but that would eventually lead to all licenses being pulled for fringe right wing scapegoating reasons.(which you couldn't be bothered to google for 3 seconds to see there is no national governing organization for personal trainers). If this was true than every doctor on the planet wouldn't be certified. This is a straw man argument with a hyperbole of ridiculous slippery slope fallacy thrown in for good measure. Lots of industries can keep out the sexual predators without firing everyone for not liking the color orange. Try again. 3. If he works in another industry he'll still be a monster and nothing we say about him changes that. Wrong-o boy-o! Like you said, the internet still exists. This will follow him to EVERY industry he works in and he will be under greater scrutiny than ever where ever he ends up. Now not saying anything and him moving onto another industry is how catholic priests were able to do so much damage over and over again. You don't have to kill someone to effect change, in fact the death penalty is rarely a deterrent for the people it's given to as their lives are usually under threat of deaths much worse than state sponsored ones every day. 4. Nothing anyone does short of criminal prosecution matters. Yeah, a lot of people use this excuse to not do anything b/c it doesn't matter right? Wrong again. Criminal change is rarely actual change. Society dictates it's own rules, and changes over time. Talking about things, having a general consensus of what is acceptable behavior is how things change. I especially love that you took this personally as a straight white man (go ahead, pretend you aren't, it'll be funny and sad) b/c secretly you identify with this man. You want to be him. But you can't, b/c dollars to donuts you don't look like a fitness influancer....at all. So you cannot attract women with your looks, and it's clear to everyone here your personality is week old dog vomit, hence why you are so angry for being 'persecuted' for having an opinion (it's the that you have an opinion, it's the shit level of that opinion that everyone has a problem with). In short, we're all going to laugh at you now, b/c you're sad, and sad things can be funny, like the clown you are.

If it weren’t for the video I wouldn’t have known. That’s how grassroots awareness works. Doy. I’m mid 30’s. If this helps save a young woman from getting fucked literally or figuratively, or raped, this kind of content is a win. IF 🚨 ALLEGEDLY 🚨 BLAH BLAH Boo hoo move along. If it ain’t for you, it ain’t for you. I’m all for documented bad behavior living in memoriam forever and ever amen until CZcams burns to the ground, where these jackasses can’t control scrubbing it from the internet. Humanity has a short attention span and a short memory. This will help people remember when they forget. Or if someone’s curious about him, they’ll find the good and the bad.

This is an astounding reply. I do not mean that in a good way. What does Ben want to do with him? Some possibilities: 1) Publicly shame the creepy scumbag, since that is often the best recourse against such behavior these days. 2) Call attention to his creepy and disturbing behavior in case there is potential legal action to be taken by others who know more about the law than Ben does. Ben is not a lawyer or prosecutor, but maybe someone who is will see this video and decide to take further action. 3) Deter potential victims from talking to or hiring this guy. A person who opposes violence or vigilante justice and opposes the death penalty can still take action to counteract someone's creepy and predatory behavior. To say otherwise makes no sense. Why would publicly outing a creepy person's creepy behavior be an action limited only to those seeking violent retribution against the creepy person? The second paragraph is a bit puzzling; it seems to me as though you have committed a slippery slope fallacy. Why would preventing Ryan Read's behavior inevitably lead to targeting people for fat-shaming? You said, "either way, we have a legal system for a reason." Yes, that reason is so that innocent people cannot be put behind bars without a trial. I am not sure why that is relevant here in this situation. As for your next paragraph - what an absurd reach in logic. Trying to put a disgusting predator out of business is not even remotely close to advocating for him to be executed. Your last paragraph just seems like unhinged nonsense. What exactly are you referring to when you say, "all this cancelling nonsense"? How are you equating the overzealousness to persecute people for expressing legitimate opinions on a controversial topic to the "persecution" of a creepy disgusting predator? What a ridiculous false equivalence. Hoe exactly do Ben's actions "give power to hateful political groups"? And what is your basis for referring to Ben's actions as "virtue signaling"? You seem to have redefined "virtue signaling" as, "any action that raises public awareness of a disturbing person or problem but does not result in a conviction or a death penalty." Your hypothetical remark about Ben hypothetically hating straight white men or wanting to destroy society is baffling. What was your basis for that, and what does that have to do with this video or this topic? Your final two sentences are just utter nonsense. "Besides, we all deserve our day in court." That is your opinion. I disagree. Scummy predators do not "deserve" anything. And why should this particular predator (or any other predator) "have his day in court before having his life ruined"? Says who? You? Well, why should anyone care what you think? You said you honestly do not care about this. Then you wrote a lengthy essay explaining why you do care that this predator has not yet has his day in court? WTF?

"decided you hate straight white men and want to destroy society" Wow. That's certainly one of the thoughts ever had.🤣

You're not insecure for saying don't say all men, because it's just as ignorant as any other generalisation

@@discordantduck1808 Fair point. Poor word choice on my end. Edited.

Yes, very very ew indeed. I have also heard that allegedly, he has threatened to sue some people who have talked about this. Allegedly allegedly 👀

My pleasure. Always a little nervous making videos like this because I know people who have been sent legal letters for talking out about certain issues, which is one reason why these often fade into darkness after a while.

I thought you articulated the problem very well, especially at the end. As a psych student I find it equal parts fascinating and disturbing how followers of people like this can’t see how they are being lured into cult-like attachment to their influencers. So when influencers are exposed, even as criminally abusive, their followers’ reaction is to defend them or create some palatable narrative they can live with so they can still remain in some weird parasocial proximity to them. It’s a similar response addicts and victims of abuse have when they feel threatened someone is trying to take away their drug or abuser. And in those cases it’s largely due to them having no control over their attachment to the drug or abuser.

Easily one of the fitness industry’s greatest lifetime naturals

How do you know I haven’t helped thousands of people by talking to their spirits as well?

Eddie, the guy who conflates IBS and IBD is correct, which also means my CONSULTANT IN CLINICAL GASTROENTEROLOGY WHO IS ACTUALLY A PROFESSOR AND SPECIALIST is wrong? Stay in school, kids
