Why am I supposed to believe that these videos have anything to do with Mark Judge?

Because some account on twitter says so?

...I tend to think something is amiss.

Happens every time some high profile person gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar. They delete their social medias or set them private.

This is in stark contrast to innocent people whose pages get thousands of views. Those people tend to go "Hey, I'm not that guy! But, haha, hit that like and subscribe button!" Because getting momentum is very difficult in social media.

I know you look at it from a lawyer perspective, but in the court of public opinion, if you hide something, maybe you have something to hide.

I was watching as it unfolded. pretty sure some media has reported but they are working to confirm as well.

watching the videos just before they were taken down - then Discomforture posted some screen shots and NOW, for whatever reason, the videos are back up:

Looks like someone saved them on this account





I don’t know if someone made up the “Brett Judge” moniker or what

and it is predictably creepy. The video I looked at has one subscriber by the name of Brett Judge. The pic next to his name doesn’t look like Kavanaugh but the screen name alone is odd.

It was this one:

And although he "can't recall" that incident, he remembers a lot about his high school years and actually wrote a book about it.

All of this is in that person's twitter

Also said he had been a substitute teacher at "St*Mary's" (with asterisk and no more info)

Additionally it listed him as the writer for daily caller, etc

Not sure if that one is still up

It was part of a thread where it was being discussed so I bet someone did.

And the creepy ones can have artistic merit.

But that's not really the point.

It's very common in Hollywood for very creepy ass dudes to pay aspiring actors to be in their little exploitation films. Often you will see ads for "Professional photographer! Free! Young aspiring models wanted!"

They take the girls out, take pictures of them in risque poses, give them a hundred bucks, and go on to their next victim. Erm. "Model." They're lucky if they're not put in a more compromising situation by offers of gigs or movie deals in exchange for sexual favors. (Often deals that are just used car salesman pitches that don't exist.)

If this turned out to be true it would be very very interesting to hear what the women in the videos felt about the shoots and the experience.

Finding the women would be great. I posted this because it hasn't been reported on much. I know it's being investigated by media.
If this is true, it's not something I believe a 45-52 year old man should be doing as a hobby.

If you add that to the content of his writings, some including language about our culture being "rapey" and another about men having "uncontrollable" passion. It goes on and on. Lots of bizarre things.

But actually confirming that this account and those videos were made by Judge hasn't been done.

We need the women to tell us their experience.

I do not think the videos in and of themselves, even with the creepy undertones, are an indictment.

It's the act of making the videos that is creepy and the question as to their comfort and willingness to go along with the more creepy stuff.

A $100 to lay in bed unclothed with books on you may seem like a steal, but it could also have felt extremely exploitative to the girl in that video, who only went with it due to pressure.

Luckily I think the media will be on this, both confirming the connection to him, and getting interviews.
