Comment on Kick faces possible $49 M fine after French streamer Jean Pormanove dies on air

If I understood properly the guy was a kinda homeless person that the two fuckers “hosted” in their house in exchange for participating (being tortured) in their streams. He was disabled or mentally challenged too, and there was another victim of theirs that was handicapped in the flat too.

The alarm has been raised for at least 8 months but neither the police nor the agencies nor the minister contacted either did or decided to do anything. Every time the police came the victims were saying that all was good and their gave their consent to anything, but on stream they were often asking to call the cops, an ambulance or trying to leave and the two fuckers barred them the exit and threatened to beat them or throw them back to the streets. So they were basically held hostage.

The whole thing is a disgrace. It was the most viewed French language stream on Kick for months, two vulnerable people being tortured on stream and nobody did anything.

From what I understood the two fuckers will probably get a 25 to 30 years of jail sentence, and some of the people who donated money to them to encourage them in the torture also risk prison time. Which I fucking hope they get.

  I hardly even know what kick is, i assumed it’s just twitch for more degenerate people ald less rules. But why does kick has to pay suck a insane fee? They brodcasted it and didn’t do anything when people raised awareness, sure. But the main takeaway is always that people do and watch sick garbage if they have the opportunity. Hell they even pay for it and encourage it.

    And they made money on it.

    When they were alerted to it, they did nothing. They simply allowed it to continue, and profited from it.

So all those “red room” legends were true. It’s just that instead of being in the dark web, it was broadcast in public for the world to see. How dystopian.

  The frog in the water pot and the bystander effect are closely linked, methinks.

There is even a sequence where the two fuckers try to force him to say that “if he dies on stream, it won’t be their fault” but the fault of his “shitty health situation”. He flat out refused.

They perfectly knew they were in the process of killing him.

  That is murder. These fuckers should be spending the rest of their damn lives in a prison cell.

Kinda homeless? The victim is the largest french gaming streamer and definitely not homeless. There’s indications of mental health problems but it’s only visible on camera. There are no documents verifying it unfortunately (though it seems evident). The two killers are people he’s known and hung out with for years.

After the whole spiking their own wifes and mothers to pass around for rape online, including with making videos, i am starting to think France has a pretty bad problem with psychopaths and a society that is looking away or even encouraging it rather than stepping in.

It’s sort of an extension of lolcow culture. This is a vid I recommend to watch to understand it.
