Defending yourself against animals, predators and Pepper

Sam Pepper is a great human being. 
All his actions are so thought- and respectful and he really knows how to treat other people right. Everything he does serves a great purpose, his fame is justified and his videos make such a big change in our world.

Part 2/3
He’s a genius! Disguising a clever social experiment as a harmful prank! All glory to him! 
And he’s so into feminismsisms and equalitititititiy, he did it to men too! 
What a great guy! You’re all so dumb for hating him and not seeing the obvious! 
He’s raising awareness with doing the exact same wrong thing that he later states to despise, that’s absolutly logical! 
And it’s not sexist or degrading, he filmed it, so it’s art!

Part 3/3
Power, control, influence.
3 things that always seem to be in the wrong hands.
Politicians, celebrities, parents and teachers abuse their power over other people way too often without enough people even noticing it.

We all go through the world searching for idols and special people we can look up to.
We want someone we can identify with, who we adore and who can inspire us to become a better person. We need someone to go to when we are confused or helpless, someone who can guide us through this adventure that is life.
Every now and then we’ll find someone like that, a person that seems to have such a great personality, charming, kind, motivating and worth all of our attention and money.
Those people who gain attention from others are dealing with a lot of responsibility.
There will always be people that believe everything that person will say, that are easy to manipulate, naïve or just lost and trustworthy and in their blindness they’ll do anything this person asks them to do.
Having an audience of over 2 million people is a lot of power for one person to handle and can easily be misused - accidentally or maybe fully aware of making a mistake, I’m in no position to judge that.

The point is, we all make mistakes, they are unavoidable. 
Yes, if you put a bit more thoughts into your work, some mistakes won’t even happen, but okay, it happened, we can’t turn back time.
The reaction is over-whelming and unbearable for this youtuber who might be part of a big machinery with management and assistants, but who is still “just” a young man. 
Poor boy, unable to handle the consequences of his own behaviour.
He starts to panic, is about to lose everything he earned, losing a big fanbase and the respect of other entertainers, what could he do to save his ass?

Part 4/3
The right answer is: damage control. 
Don’t you dare to apologize for being an asshole, a horrible role model and a disgrace of a human being. 
You should post more videos about grabbing people’s asses and then one revealing one, where you get a poorly written script, read it in front of a camera, about how you wanted to raise awareness, wrap it all up with a tragic backstory and voilà; that will do.


You are happy and satisfied because you are soo clever. 
Part of your fanbase believes you automatically. They compliment you for your original idea, love you for doing something for this great cause. 
I admit, I underestimated their intelligence.
But you overestimated your cleverness, the power of your PR-team and the credulity of the rest of the internet.
This will backfire.
