I don't subscribe to TACS cause I'm a cheap fuck and don't pay for podcasts, but I like Ant and would listen if it was free.

That said, there's been a sudden turn against him (and TACS) here. He says it came out of nowhere, but I think it was precipitated by this post.

Jokes aside, no one wants to support a fucking predator, and no question: it looks real bad. A common reaction was something like, "Jesus I like Ant but this is fucked up", which is understandable. But is it really proof he actively tries to fuck 14-year-old girls? Assuming the story is true, there are at least three possibilities:

A) He was "grooming" her to fuck her when she was 18. B) He was trying to fuck her then, underage. C) He was just buying her shit but wasn't really trying to fuck her.

I think we can rule out A. You think a millionaire who apparently fucks trashy 18-25 year old girls all the time is gonna spend four years of time/money/effort to fuck one random girl? I don't buy it.

So either he was actually trying to fuck a 14-year-old, or there's another explanation.

Imagine you're a HVAC guy at heart with fame, crazy disposable income, and a need to be liked. You just buy people shit all the time for the approval and warm fuzzy feeling. Imagine you like cute teenage girls and a cute teenage girl likes you and has an Amazon wishlist, you might buy something for her because it doesn't leave a mark on your bank account and, again, approval and warm fuzzies. You flirt and buy her nice things but it's just a stupid (and admittedly creepy) fantasy thing, but you have no intention of pursuing anything real. We all flirt and do stupid shit that doesn't actually imply real intent to pursue anything. And being an isolated millionaire with no family and an alcohol problem makes you feed your dumb fantasies.

It's possible Ant really is a predator who goes after girls online for real. But the alternative explanation seems more likely to me. Of course he's still a creep, but nobody (including him) denies that. It doesn't mean he's an actual predator.

And we all know deep down he really just wants full-grown black men to dominate him anyway.
