Clarifying My Thoughts on the Swoop/Johnny Silvestri Video

I address some of the comments from my previous video Unpopular Opinion: Both Swoop and Johnny Are Wrong, and clarify my thoughts.

The examples of Johnny's shared meetups with Josh do not meet typical definitions of grooming. IMO The chats with minors while not sober & etc easily could qualify as gr**ming ring with tactics Johnny learned from the fandoms

I think that you make very valid points. I enjoyed listening to your video 😊

Body language analysis where it is the generic if someone does X it means Y and it gets applied across the whole population is ableist, it also assumes that everyone has the same cultural background. A simple one is that if you won't make eye contact then you are lying. Big problems with that, some cultures it considered rude to make eye contact with an elder/authority figure. There is also that it is a common autistic trait to not like eye contact (can also be a thing for other ND people).
The ones that do it well get a baseline of that person's 'normal' and go from there.

I agree with much of this! I think its funny how seriously ppl take observe. He is just a glorified drama channel that says hes an expert on something that has been known to be inaccurate at times lol

It's refreshing to hear your nuanced taked on this. I think people put creators like Swoop on a pedestal when they are having a big moment, but Swoop is human and fallible too. There are good things about her content, but also some problems, and I think it's important that we as audiences think critically about the content we are consuming and don't take it all at face value just because we like the creator and they seem to have good intentions.

Yep. There’s a reason Spankie made her fans chant, “we are worthy.”
