My Love Life: Freelee and Durianrider Want to Know!

04 June 2016 [link youtube]


Durianrider has been trying to make a scandal out of nothing, drawing attention to my Couchsurfing profile, and wildly speculating about my sex life. Let's take a look at that profile, shall we?

anyone who's watched even one video on
my youtube channel what is your judgment my captor the sound wildly improbable um are you shocked this is my my secret life on the Internet is that I try to meet us our beacon you think I'd be ashamed of this you think I'd have something to hide with this profile really can't believe the vegan movement has been hijacked like people who are obsessed with weight and losing weight being skinny and all those things diet obsessed people good night guys this is a message to durianrider you're nothing but an internet bullying it's just weak what he's done the the bullying the count was bullying I've seen posts where you know he's threatening people at their addresses girls you know and he says I look I don't know what my young crazy followers are gonna do you know you live at this address and what a [ __ ] maths it's just disgraceful people following him how the [ __ ] has this guy rose to fame accusing izalith odd firstly of being a sexual predator then being an extorter extorting young girls for money I like to ponder what he did in return for this money perhaps he told them stories about his adventures in Laos for 410 map you can her about the time that I earn I almost got eaten by a giant snake cost without any evidence so that any regard to due process due process innocent until proven guilty the very cornerstone of civilization the one thing that stops are relatively structured society from being [ __ ] a giant John Carpenter movie but you're Ian Ryder doesn't need this no he's above that the Jory and Ryder is like you're innocent until Jory and Ryder thinks you're guilty then we'll find that we will find out your address and come to your hotel room and give you a kicking I don't know what to say about this hey guys what's up um you may or may not be aware that there's a broader smear campaign against me right now not just involving durianrider but involving a number of his followers and this video is not going to deal with that too narrowly because when I make videos I like to make content that's still going to be meaningful five years from now ten years from now that I could look back on and watch in the future and reflect on myself that my daughter could see one day I have a three-year-old daughter who lives in France and Germany with my ex-wife naturally enough um you know uh so the struggle in these situations is to reach through the morass of meaninglessness and pull out something meaningful for us to talk about but obviously the actual allegations made against me would be emotionally devastating perhaps to the average person we could say to many people - most people I don't know to me it is hilarious at an earlier stage of this you may or may not have noticed if you read very carefully the text on screen in the earlier video I put up already showing you exactly what your reminder said you could have picked out the detail that at an earlier stage they were claiming that I was using a false name generally you know I found this hilarious and I showed them my passport although that's a completely unreasonable demand to make when you've threatened to beat someone up to abduct them when you've made threats of violence against someone and when you've really defamed them you've really committed defamation in the strict legal sense it's completely ridiculous for you to then say oh yes and I need a favor could you could you provide me with your your passport number it would take you first another but you know as many other things that conversation they kept making a reasonable demands and I kept saying great let's do it you know they said they they had a criminal case against me they wanted to recipe and I said great let's go to the police station okay yeah okay you want to arrest me let's do it you want to put me in jail all right I'm game and all right away those things collapse in many many ways this has been a process of my calling the Bluff of the other side however in their desperation to find anything to to indict me with they figured out that I have a profile on a website called couchsurfing I'm gonna show you that profile I'm gonna show you what it says just a second here and I guess enough people don't know what that website is to imagine there's something sexy or scandalous about that it's the least sexy thing in my life but look more broadly more deeply more meaningfully I'm gonna take this as an opportunity flecked on my my love life and my my interactions with the fairer sex I love the fact that these indictments against me alternate between presuming that I have a really hard time getting a girlfriend or meeting women like as if this way I'd have to work hard to do and the other hand accusing me of having like a ton of women Lea they simultaneously are creating four things about me like I've just gotta I've just got a gang of girlfriends you know and then the other hand they're also insulting me by suggesting I'm like desperate or working hard to get with women uh look I may not be attractive to you personally whoever you are watching this video but life is not fair I am in the group of men who never had trouble attracting women ever not when I was a teenager that was that not when I was an adult etc what I had trouble with was finding women I could respect and have a meaningful relationship with not old men have this hang-up some men you know are quite willing to have romances with any woman who's interesting them I alas was not like that so although I am NOT a conservative politically it is true that I have had a very conservative sex in many ways and there are all kinds of funny you know contradictions and contrasts that come out of that I have a memory I honestly I can't say it's a fond memory oh you have a memory in high school you know there was a girl and she was one year older than me in the high school system but at that age you know that's a big difference so you know if you're 17 and she's 18 or like I forget I forget what the ages are I'm 15 and she's 16 whatever she's a year ahead of me you know that's a big difference and this particular girl I remember one year it was the last day of school for that year and then there's the summer vacation you start the next year the next year about the school calendar I remember one day I saw her in the schoolyard on the last day of school that year and she was a year older than me and she was already living completely like an adult she lived in an apartment with her boyfriend and so I forget what age she was she was older than me but her boyfriend was even older so like her boyfriend was 22 or something he was like an adult he had a job and you know she didn't live with her parents she obviously wasn't a virgin she smoked cigarettes she drank alcohol and like you know she was already at the stage where drinking alcohol wasn't exciting it was just the normal part of her life she was living like an adult and that on that day that last day that school year I I was still absolutely living like a child I had never had a job I live with my parents on and I remember I looked at her she was wearing a leather jacket I was not vegan at the time of course and I thought you know what next year that's an attainable goal for me I didn't mean a girl like her I meant her and I did it you know and even though she had the boyfriend even though she was so much more mature it's fisken to me and you know the funny thing is for me that wasn't the first woman I pursued that was like the last you know it was the first and the last that was the last time when I really made an effort to you know to seduce someone to really be appealing to a member of the opposite sex and it's a very strange you know memory for me that relationship and I know it made a big impression on her you know cuz even at that age I already was an intellectual and she had never met anybody like me she'd never met anyone who talked about history and politics and literature and the things I talked about the way I did and so you know that was kind of exotic and exciting for her and you know again you may not find me good-looking doesn't doesn't matter much to me but I've just never had a problem that way and I bumped into her again by complete chance years later when I was in university when I was approximately in my last year of university let's say so again even though not none of us are old you feel a lot older I mean the difference between whatever the middle of high school in your last year of university you've matured a lot in so many ways but I bumped into a by complete chance and you know when I bumped into her that couldn't really tell for sure it seemed like she was still sprung on me that she's still really had a crush on me or still had a connection to me and then I remember I gave her my phone number because we talked a little bit you know we should have chessington and that time I wasn't interested in her at all anymore but then I remember she got on the phone with me and she wouldn't stop calling me and you know I found out that she really was she really was still sprung on me and she still had that connection from that experience you know but I mean for me the real conclusion of that romance which really was my first romance was that I could you know start a relationship with women that certainly other guys my age would have considered unattainable sir I haven't even described her physically she was very striking she was tall and attractive and again unlike normal high school girls she also knew how to dress like an adult and really live like an adult which made her look very different from the other women the other girls are young women in that high school um but you know for me really the final conclusion of that was that I realized that had to be with someone else who was an intellectual also in some way so I've talked about that in the internet before and I've made I've written articles about it I have written about my love life uh partly because there's nothing scandalous about it and you know I do kind of reflect philosophic on those things and you know in in less philosophical moments like lately when I was joking around with vegan cheetah I've said look you know I have to be less of a snob I have to start having relationships with more kind of normal people because the way I've lived my life since that time since I was a teenager you know really you narrow your life tremendously if you have an idea of what it means to be an intellectual what it means to live a life of integrity and then you only open your door literally and metaphorically to people who fit that type it's more of a challenge I mean to have a relationship you know even a failed romantic literally you know where you start dating someone and then give up before things get a bit too have to have a relationship with someone who's who's different from you in those ways in those ways that are most precious to you most important to you it's like for me I care about history and politics I'm a certain type of intellectual for me to have a relationship with someone who has none of those things in common with me is challenging but you know I do think at this age maybe I should you know take up that challenge um anyway say I am NOT scandalized or mortified or emotionally hurt by the allegations I also know they're completely untrue and I have not met or spoken anyone like including on the internet who had any suspicion that these allegations were true that's partly because you know it's not the first time during Ryder has played this game even his core fans have now seen this played out again and again and you know in the English language we have a popular story called the boy who cried wolf you may have never heard of that story you may have grown up playing video games and have never heard the story of the boy who cried wolf but you know if you have a false alarm too many times people start to get suspicious and also people know me because I'm open and relaxed about the reality well my life is in this way but look so the current accusation it's now have shifted because one accusation after another has proven to be Hollow and baseless and I just replied in a kind of self confident open way oh ok you got criminal charges against me let's hear them let's go to the police station I'll meet you there no problem you don't have to arrest me I'll volunteer oligo to the police station oh no there are no criminal charges ok so what what do you want to do what's this about you know but just the concept of the website couchsurfing he's apparently exotic and strange enough to people that they can make this up so look I'll tell you about the website coercive in a second so this is not super boring first let me just read you my profile here the about me page encourage them you can decide if this sounds to you like a tremendously sexy and appealing image that I'm portraying I mean you know hey takes all sorts about me vegan and then as the Chinese characters for vegan ie more strict than merely vegetarian that's the first thing in my description myself what does that tell you I am especially interested in meeting other vegans while I am in Thailand and while I am in China etc does this sound like a lie to you what do you think anyone who's watched even one video on my youtube channel what is your judgment like there the sound wildly improbable to you out are you shocked this is my my secret life on the internet is that I try to meet us are vacant um I have a YouTube channel period about ninety percent of it lately is talking about ikan it's obviously I'm leading a double life here obviously this profile is a complete fiction and you know I mean there's just no resemblance the real me and you know my great secret has been discovered by these people were trying to denounce me what a shame how I participate in couchsurfing I use couchsurfing to meet other people with common interests you can't rely on chance to cross paths with people it's very true you know what I was living in countries like Cambodia you know how do you meet other people who speak English you know if English is your main language coach surfing was at that time a great way to do that I feel the website in many ways it's actually kind of lost its vitality but in the past there was a period of time when you really could use couchsurfing to meet people with with similar neurs when I lived in Cambodia you know I would try to meet other hosts and you know um in many ways I wish I discovered it sooner but I think it's a little bit past its prime the website now is kind of dead and I coach them in experience I met a few interesting people in all corners of the world - couchsurfing and similar websites obviously if English is your first language this is the laziest way to meet other people who speak English living in Asia or anywhere else true interests animals vegetarian vegan Buddhist boy I guess I should delete the Buddhist that's probably I probably had that tag I didn't notice since I was a Buddhist I'm now an ex Buddhist identify as an historical nihilist but anyway but oh but my nihilism comes out here you see decent books through Citadis then I have the Chinese name for the acidities and Herodotus but no I can't read Greek so you know among the people who are hating on me you know if you want to make a scandal why don't you take the time and energy and look into through cities and Herodotus there's some really sexy stuff and Herodotus especially you'll be much more gratifying for you than looking into my private life and trying to defame me on the internet and the way you guys have been one amazing thing I've done true story I'm in a remote village on the loud Burmese border and some of the villagers are about to slaughter a pig the men who are sharpening the knife to slit the animal's throat request that I chant in Pali the canonical language of Buddhism so the pig will be reincarnated as a human being I laugh and I reply that they're asking the wrong question they should be asking me to chant so they won't be reborn as pigs true story did I mention that I'm vegan look guys if you're just vaguely familiar with my web presence on YouTube or otherwise none of this could be a shock or scandal to anyone now if you don't know like look let's say Coach surfing was a dating web site it was a moment it's not it's not a dating web site but if it was so what you think I'd be ashamed of this you think I'd have something to hide with this profile really you know compared to so ridiculous um but you know yeah that's my couchsurfing profile in case you hadn't found it that this scandal is manufactured out of now at the moment I do not in the past like a few years ago I did use a dating website but I mean you know if if I had a dating website I wouldn't be ashamed either so what ya know couchsurfing could you say briefly about the website it is a website where you host people so you invite people into your home to stay for free for the night and you know you get to know each other now in principle it's not a dating website it's not supposed to be used for sex or romance but of course in reality people do meet and fall in love and if you search on the internet you can do a Google search for five minutes there are stories people who got married you know of course like anything I mean almost every website that involves people meeting each other some people fall in love but the purpose of the website is actually not romantic now among the other things used to try to make this seem more salacious than it really is is the assertion which is not based on evidence actually contradicted by the evidence that I only use this website to me women which has not been true and in fact the proof of that is on the same profile so these are the reviews you get you may ask well with the website couchsurfing how do people trust each other enough to invite someone into their home and you know let them sleep on their couch for the night well this is part of it is that people give reviews to each other so here are two reviews I have from heterosexual adult men and neither of them are young I think the first guy he's a man about 50 I forget I will Diaz and get old he is now Hermes and then another one from Timothy they're both very positive reviews hermes says that I'm a fascinating host I shared my advanced understanding of an area of mutual interest oh gee I didn't so this is very flattering he says that I'm a well of deep knowledge but I'm happy to talk about personal and mundane subjects of laws boy you know that sorry you guys can read this ourselves this is actually a you know extremely flattering review oh and I didn't realize you had to click to read more so he all right uh he this is that one's longer anyway so I took the screen shot without realizing that but anyway this is an effusive ly positive review about what a wonderful guy I am to have a conversation with again perhaps not shocking if you watch this YouTube channel it's not to everyone's taste my youtube channel but some people including adult heterosexual men are very happy to meet me and I do like you know uh her meets widowed he's he's actually vegetarian but not vegan and then there's another one from Timothy here I'm still in touch with him that guy Hermes I mean we still have email contact and so on but yeah that's that's why people use couchsurfing to try to build community try to build you know meaningful relationships some kind uh Timothy says I enjoy two very nice days in Taitung with Zell I'm easily suspicious if people seem to nicer accommodating such was the case of Zell but after leaving his home in hospitality of two days I already miss him Wow semi you can read the rest of that again this is actually public I mean you know these people are making up rumors about me as if there's something sexy about my coach terrific profile if there isn't i'm a yo for one heterosexual man to say that to another actually is a very rare where he says that he he misses me after not seeing me for two days again I forgotten I didn't realize these were such positive reviews but they say I'm a wonderful host they say staying over at my house for a couple nights is a wonderful experience there you go I didn't think I'd be bragging about that on on youtube today but these accusations against me have thought this out of me so that funny stuff um look at you know these people they're looking to create a scandal out of nothing and like I said with the boy who cried wolf or whatever example you want to use they did this all before with Hannah and Jason it was you know make up any story make up any fiction and try to use the internet and even telephone calls you know remember they they phoned Jason's mom and try to fabricate fake things from the internet I mean you know there's no real limit to how low they'll go the difference is in dealing with me they're dealing with somebody who isn't hurt by this I'm not upset by this and I know other people have been emotionally devastated by it my plan for this Eden was actually to make a video talking about that kind of emotional devastation could evidence be speaking with some people here face to face also by Skype also over the Internet people who dealt with the emotional devastation of this and I'm and I'm at the middle of it but I'm not emotionally devastated you know to me this is a joke and you know coincidence it happens that I'm a person who's not fastidiously private about his sex life and look I mean with with couchsurfing so it's not a dating website it would have you but I mean I remember not too long ago there was a woman who was over 35 years old who was vegan and who was a single mom so she was a vegan single mom and you know I wasn't in love with her or anything but she wrote me some messages within the same website then couchsurfing and I wrote back to her saying yeah you know I'd be interested to meet you for coffee yep you address that there to me there's nothing shameful about that now it didn't happen we never met up but you know you know for me and principal I only you know it's a website you only know a few things you know she's vegan you know her age you know a few interests that she'll in her case also a lot of my a lot of my life has been in studying languages and for her also studying and teaching languages as part of like okay G this is someone I have low income with I'd like to meet up with her um could that have been a romantic connection possibly but you know the vast majority of times you just meet people with an open mind and an open heart you find out who they are and that most of the time if that's nothing possible you know most the time it's I there gonna be a friendship or nothing at all because that's that's life and having a mature and detached attitude towards that is part of it but look guys I mean of the two stereotypes ago be currently being profound 'add one that I just have a gang of women after me all the time and the other that somehow I've got to work hard to meet women or get get relationships started these are two mutually incompatible interpretations of my life and the reality of my life is has been put so plainly and so honestly on the internet that no interpretation is necessary thank you all for your support the comments have been overwhelmingly positive not just on my own web sites on web sites like Reddit on discussion forums on Facebook and all kinds of forums where I have no control and where nobody's censoring them 99.9% of people have been in my corner and the truth is this whole fiasco is really like an intelligence test for the faux furs of freelee and durianrider because you get to find out who is dumb enough to fall for it because there's nothing convincing about the illusions they've been putting out but a very very small number of people choose to believe them anyway it's like he's actually apologizing he's apologizing with sincerity and then back up or is his additional plan [ __ ] choice a man
