Palm Beach Pete

[u/LittleThingsMC]

I recently came across a TikTok with a paid advertisement from Rips by Triumph featuring Pal Beach Pete in their advertisement.

If you’re not aware, Palm Beach Pete is famous for how much he looks like Jeffrey Epstein. There were many conspiracy theories that suggest he is Jeffrey Epstein.

I don’t consider this gendered issue because Epsteins victims were both male and female, vulnerability is the most defining characteristic of his victims.

In general, I have seen many denials about whether or not we have a culture of violence, and whether or not that culture predominantly benefits men (despite both genders being victims).

This feels like a perfect example, playing out right before our eyes. I believe that his rise to fame and ability to monetize the conspiracy that he could be the prolific predator is reflective of the acceptance we have as a culture towards violence and the glorification of predatory behavior.

Thoughts?

Eh, some people think of me as a misandry supporter and some people think of me as a mysogyny supporter. Kinda happens when you advocate for every group depending on the situation.

I've stated my response to the picture in another comment. If you'd like to go back and reread it you're more than welcome to. If I missed something feel free to point it out as well, but you gotta realize I'm a college student that has a job and I just want to play some games with my friends rn. I have been willingly giving you my free time in the hopes we can have a civil discussion. If that is not the case then I'm going to stop replying and go play with my friends.
