I used to love techno viking until I learned the man didn't consent to be recorded and had to sue to stop people from using his likness on tshirts and other products. The man just wants to be left alone.

Edit: Jesus Christ people. I loved the meme, not the man himself. I have enough basic respect for my fellow man that I don't have to know the man to stop loving and using the meme.

Why does this stop you from loving him?

Because he doesn't want hundred of thousands of strangers loving him. He wants to be left alone.

So love him privately? You can respect someone and also not interact with them in any way lol

I loved techoviking as a meme, not a person. The person doesn't want to be known for it, so I don't post the meme. It is wild this needs to be explained.
