After finding out what the password to his laptop was, I wanted to puke.
....what was it
His password was "IFUCKKIDZ" spelled as indicated. That's the disturbing part, it's like internally, he was proud of it. No shame.
If you ever watched Chris Hansen's old To Catch A Predator series, or his new series, these guys usually find a way to delude themselves into thinking they're not the way they are, or that they're somehow helping the victim, and I can only assume they lie to themselves because they know what they are doing is wrong and feel some shame.
Not Ian Watkins. He was proud of it. Ugh. Later in the video, after the password, you find out he even bragged about it. I had to stop there, I couldn't even finish the video (linked by OP in comment).
Yeah the people on “to catch a predator” are disgusting, but there is a difference between “trying to seduce an underage girl into sex” and “raping a literal baby.” He’s on another level of being the worst version of a human being
Oh dear, I don't know any of the Eve6 controversy... Nothing on Wikipedia for the band, and a quick Google search just gives results about them boycotting Spotify. What should I be looking for?
Damn. Charlie catching strays.
