Batman Vs Paedophiles Videos Back Online
God bless the internet. Canadian police may have persuaded the teenagers who set up meeting with online paedophile predators, then confronted them dressed as Batman or The Flash, to take their videos down from YouTube, but fans of the series disagree. And have begun reuploading them, outside of the police's jurisdiction, on YouTube.
It's a hard subject – there's the fear that the teenagers are putting themselves in danger, there's the problem that they are acting outside of the law, that they are rousing up feelings that may have been supressed otherwise, and they may be encouraging online gawking at the freakshow – but there's also the admiration in what they are doing and the responsibility they are taking upon themselves – and the ridiculous imagery they are using in the process.
What do you think?
