I still fancy RB

656 replies

I've watched the documentary.

I still fancy RB.

I identify as a radical feminist.

I'm married with kids.

I think that if you are a heterosexual woman, you are either in denial on what men are or you accept what they are but find them irresistibly sexually attractive and so continue to be with them.

RB is simply what the vast majority of men would be like if they could get away with it.

Therefore - and because he's bloody good looking, funny and intelligent - and sexy - I will continue to fancy the pants off him.

I think women who are being all shocked and descusted at his behaviour need to consider what men are actually like. There's not some massive demarcation between him and other men.

You are deluded. He still has a huge platform.

you really should be ashamed of the rubbish you are posting, in support of this man. Shame on you.

Shame on me? 😂 Are you living in a parallel universe? Everyone associated with him has dropped him, his events are cancelled, he can't monetise content on his main platform.
I'm literally only stating facts. No need to get so het up about it.

sunglassesonthetable · 21/09/2023 22:00

Of course he can't make content for free for any length of time, he needs to make a living like anyone else.

Lots of people make content for free. That's how it works.

That is a platform. It's been the same since the days of free pamphlets. He didn't set it up for the money. The influence remains.

I wouldn't worry about his financials at all. You talk as if he's a jobbing handy man who can't make the gas bill. ( no offence obvs )

To go to prison he will need someone to actually go to the police. There has been a brief mention of one police report but I doubt anything will come of it.

Sorry but you've missed the detail again.

Seems like the same unit the was set up to investigate Saville is now investigating RB.

Well it will be interesting to see what comes of it. If people come forward, he stands trial and is convicted then that's fair play.

@Ilinaya

He makes free content and gets paid for it with ad revenue. Of course he does it for the money. He doesn't just do it for shits and giggles.

He's a multi millionaire. And was before he started that channel. He's not relying on it.

He made all that money when he was a comedian and actor. Where do you think his money comes from now exactly if it's not his online content? He doesn't do anything else!

sunglassesonthetable · 21/09/2023 22:10

So there's no " therefore he can no longer make content " as you said.

@Ilinaya

It's always the details with you.

Well if you've got 10 million in the bank 🤦‍♀️. it doesn't really matter

sunglassesonthetable · 21/09/2023 22:12

Get real please @Ilinaya

Are you telling me to get real after you've just said Russell brand doesn't make content for money when that is pretty much his only revenue stream?

sunglassesonthetable · 21/09/2023 22:14

I would probably say he does do it for the shits and giggles. With the money as a bonus tbh.

sunglassesonthetable · 21/09/2023 22:16

How do YOU know it's his only revenue stream?

Have you heard of stocks, shares , investments ? You know, the interest from 10 plus million?

Dear me.

sunglassesonthetable · 21/09/2023 22:18

Perhaps he will have to take up painting and decorating then.

Now his "only income stream" has dried up. 🙄

Oh give over, he's hardly on the breadline. He has made millions over the last few years spouting his nonsense online.

You're embarrassing yourself at this point.

I never said he was on the breadline, I merely pointed out that Russell brand pretty much only makes money now from online content. That is what he does.
Are you always so offensive?

He probably wont make a million a year from painting and decorating, which is what he made on youtube with his 'free content'.

SlippySarah · 21/09/2023 22:25

I agree with you OP, although I don't fancy him. I don't fancy anyone to be honest. But I'm shocked at the number of people who think that he's off the scale compared to the average man. There are a lot of men out there who fantasise about rape and enjoy violent pornography. RB isn't special or different.

You have no idea what his revenue streams are to be frank .

Investments from his money would probably see him out, alone. 10 million is the conservative estimate.

The money makes money.

Never mind royalties etc.

And you were saying that he had lost his platform because it was no longer monetised.That is simply not true.

sunglassesonthetable · 21/09/2023 22:29

The multi millionaire will have to cut his cloth accordingly then.🙄

But it doesn't mean his platform will cease which is the original point you were making.

No I said YouTube will stop and its a huge revenue stream for him. I'm not actually sure what you're even arguing with me about now 😂 think we've detailed enough.

well you'll have to be shocked at me then because I think he's different to the blokes I'm familiar with.

2000 sexual partners for a start and actual rape and abuse allegations

But crack on.

Ilinaya · 21/09/2023 22:33

Derailed* although that's a funny autocorrect considering the relentless stick you've given me about my eye for detail.

Just admit it. It's clear what you said , that he was reliant on it for a living and therefore it would have to stop. I

And you have no way of knowing that despite it not even making sense. Lots of sweeping statements.

I've never said it's not a huge revenue stream.

What's offensive is your persistent excusing of a rapist's behaviour.

Nah just wrong facts.

Police ARE investigating.

He's NOT deplatformed just de monetised.

🤷‍♀️
