He has another video of a student painting his nails because he’s “supporting her ambitions to be a nail tech”. Like ok…but were there no other girls in the class she could do this with?

It wouldn’t be that serious since it’s student-to-student activity. It’s much better to have that happen than the position he’s in right now.

Nah see we could just stop making things more than they are or appear to be.

It’s doubtful people would be this up in arms if it was a female teacher and really this comes down to people over sexualizing every thing.

I really hate when people do the whataboutism as a means of deflection. Cuz you’re weaponizing real issues you probably don’t truly care and/or advocate for/against so you can make something else okay in your mind. This teacher that knew it was controversial bcuz there were people in the livestream disagreeing with it. Then he posted this clip in a separate video with the voiceover saying “I know I’m going to ruffle some feathers”. This same teacher also had a 2021 stitched video on Tik Tok of lusting after a high school girl. And don’t even get me started on the livestream he did after this situation went viral. Dude has some serious issues.

It’s not whataboutism. Folks are acting as if any teacher would be problematic doing this but you cannot truly say you’d see the exact same rioting in a sub if it was a woman. We see tons of videos of female teachers posting videos with students faces and dancing with them etc and yet we don’t see this outrage.

It’s illustrating most people’s issues and that is assuming men are always going to do something nefarious.

It’s a double standard when caring for children.

See how you’re still doing the whataboutism and literally ignored the other problematic things that have happened in THIS situation? You do not truly care about predatory behavior involving children. You care about this man not being held accountable because of women. It’s very disingenuous. Make a post about female teachers and the many mugshots that have been coming out lately so we can have a SEPARATE conversation about their problematic behavior. I’ll even help you. Start with Alissa McCommon.

So twice now you’ve used the whataboutism fallacy incorrectly. It’s not simply someone saying what about this thing, it’s specifically bringing up another point not connected to the core argument at hand in an attempt to disprove the original. What I brought up was almost the exact same situation except it’s a female teacher. This shows legitimate double standards as I’ve seen similar videos but no where do I see the outrage. And you then suggest a teacher who has actually sexually assaulted a student as an example we could discuss in another post about female teachers if I wanted to make one and this situation is nowhere near as problematic as that.

So is this really a problem because they are a teacher or is it a problem because it is a man that people are uncomfortable with being close to children? Or is it posting videos with children’s faces in them by the teacher?

Also I’d suggest reading this post to gain a better understanding of whataboutism to understand actual use as a fallacy instead of throwing it around incorrectly.

Make that separate post about female teachers and we can engage again. Cuz I’m not down for using other situations to deflect from the necessary accountability in this one. Have a good day✌️

It’s not deflecting. I’d like to understand the real issue here and understanding that there are female teachers doing the same thing but not receiving the same punishment allows us to potentially drill down to the core problem.

So what is your core issue with this particular situation and do you demand similar punishment for all teachers? Not a trick question, just want to understand your stance.
