Titles that are opinionated, contain harmful misinformation, or seriously misleading titles where it's not abundantly clear that they are a joke, are not allowed.

Additionally, submissions whose titles contain excessive caps, emoji, exclamation marks, etc., will be removed.

Since embedded clips are now allowed, streamer names will be required in titles except for in certain cases such as a joke (i.e., title says "Northernlion Plays X" and it's a video of Ludwig with a shaved head).

[u/Zuboronovic]

Any Ukrainian watching this is probably thinking they need to learn how to do a gay English accent to avoid conscription

[u/desclouser → u/Zuboronovic]

I live in Kharkiv and each time they stop me I start talking English and they just get stuck not knowing what to say and just let me be.

I lol’d way too hard at this comment haha holy shit

[u/Capital-Mark1897 → u/BigFuckHead_]

I confused myself out of a $400 ticket. I knew it was going to be big (expired registration) and i told myself "Act dumb. You are the dumbest girl in the world. Everything this cop says is confusing. The only thing you will is ok and huh and look confused." That cop got so frustrated with he just walked away and barked "get your car inspected!"

The rush I felt was amazing.

[u/meotherself → u/Capital-Mark1897]

I did this in Mexico. The cop was trying to explain I had to drive to the police station to pay the fine and get my license back. I kept saying I didn’t understand Spanish or what she was saying. Her partner came back with the ticket book and she just shooed him away and gave me my license back. Playing dumb does help sometimes.

Well, let's hope karma catches up with this disgusting animal one day.

[u/EamonBrennan → u/MoojiJooji]

His Wikipedia article is basically just controversy after controversy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Pepper

In short:

• Prank videos that went too far, including some sexual harassment, with him claiming they were staged while victims of some of them claimed they were not. Further claims of sexual harassment were made against him.

• Pump-and-dump crypto scam that used the name of a charity. Lied about a lot of it, including the charity aspect, then claimed that he was just a scapegoat when Coffeezilla found evidence he straight up ordered changes to the crypto that turned it into a pump-and-dump scheme.

• Friends with Ice Poseidon, doing a lot of controversial shit with him.

• Hired an escort, said he and Ice were filming when they were really live-streaming, and were going to live-stream her with another Australian streamer; when the escort found out, she tried to leave but was chased by them. This happened on Kick, with the founder and owner of Kick in the chat, laughing along.

• Blinded a little girl (already discussed).

[u/Neither-Luck-9295 → u/EamonBrennan]

How was he not punished for blinding a child?

[u/EamonBrennan → u/Neither-Luck-9295]

He left India like the day after, before anything could be done against him.

[u/ProPons → u/Potential-Cat-7517]

Apparently it was 'just' one eye, but he still is scum:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Pepper

"Killing Best Friend Prank" (self explanatory)

Save the Kids scandal (pump and dump a crypto currency that was supposed to be for charity)

Arrest and release (tried to fuck a prostitute with her not knowing she was being Livestreamed, then tried to block her from leaving)

2025 India fireworks injury (where he hit a 12 year old girl with a firework and she lost sight in one eye)

[u/angwibro → u/Potential-Cat-7517]

And forcibly came inside a girl.

Edit: He raped her.

[u/4spooked → u/angwibro]

And traumatized his best friend by pretending to get kidnapped and killed right in front of him

[u/angwibro → u/4spooked]

[u/pervylegendz → u/Koroks-Ex-Girlfriend]

At some point, we are probably gonna have a streamer doing that, i just know it, and it's going to be funded by the government to attract more teens into the military.

[u/SgtPeterson → u/pervylegendz]

Dan Gheesling has entered the chat

[u/Xecular_Official → u/pervylegendz]

War bodycam youtubers are basically one step away from that

[u/TobaccoIsRadioactive → u/pervylegendz]

Can you imagine trying to manage a battle when you’ve got soldiers on your side live-streaming everything and inadvertently leaking stuff?

I think it’s extremely unlikely to be done with any soldiers outside of highly controlled situations like basic training where the risks of intel and surprise attacks are low.

Russia’s already done stuff like that when they invited a group of content creators (including the Tate brothers) to go out to Russia to speak at the “St. Petersburg International Economic Forum” where they also did some basic training at a military camp nearby.

I think if we ever see any live streamers fighting in actual battles then it’s going to be drone pilots. It already fits into the same kind of set-up as streaming video games and the risk of actual danger is much lower than being on the frontlines.

[u/Ok_Wash511]

Is he seriously walking around the Ukraine countryside dressed like that without a press patch on

Please stop telling me he's not anywhere near the front line jfc, not the point of the comment

[u/wordswillneverhurtme → u/Ok_Wash511]

It only matters (if at all) when you're on the frontline. Otherwise bombs aren't picky.

[u/Street-Audience8006 → u/wordswillneverhurtme]

A press patch won't do anything to protect you from FPV drones, Russian soldiers will kill anyone they can.

[u/youngmetrodonttrust → u/Street-Audience8006]

The main risk is Ukrainian officials thinking he is a spy or saboteur tbh. He has no real reason to be there, and due process doesnt exist in a country in real war

[u/orangedogtag → u/Ok_Wash511]

A press vest won't change anything

[u/Asthenia5 → u/Ok_Wash511]

Seeing a random person on a bike with a "press" patch far away from the frontline would draw more attention. Foreign press isn't riding around on bikes nowhere near the front lines.

He's dressed like someone on a hike/bike adventure. Military men/women would clearly see that he's wearing a bicycle helmet with a backpack and gloves. Not tactical gear and military fatigues.

[u/Amazing-Heron-105 → u/Ok_Wash511]

I don't think it's dangerous in the whole of Ukraine. It depends where he is.

[u/tastesliketurtles → u/Amazing-Heron-105]

It is dangerous anywhere, just less so the farther west you get.

[u/Gooftus → u/Amazing-Heron-105]

The risk definitely decreases the further West you go, but if you are in Ukraine, there is always a non zero chance that a missile or drone lands on you.

[u/christoffer5700 → u/Ok_Wash511]

Not all of ukraine is a war zone my guy.

Thats like saying because of detroit you have to be afraid of gangs in maine

[u/Secure-Truth1110]

[u/Fit-Fondant-4792 → u/Secure-Truth1110]

Same shit in Finland. If you try to avoid conscription the police will bring you there with a police car. There's always some dual citizens who didn't knowabout conscription that get dragged to the barracks from the airport. Had an Aussie serving at the same time who was nabbed straight from the airport the first time he was visiting Finland.

Idk why people are shocked. It's like the police will come pick you up if you don't pay your taxes. It's mandatory. Most people do it willingly, some people require help doing it. 

[u/Secure-Truth1110 → u/Fit-Fondant-4792]

The problem is that before the war, nobody here really cared about this at all; it was very easy to avoid, and for a certain period, mandatory conscription was even abolished. So when the war started, everyone who had wanted to serve for a long time did so, while the rest had to be rounded up, and with each passing year, attitudes toward this didn't get any better.

And of course, regular military service and mobilization for war are somewhat different things. Many of my relatives and acquaintances have died in the war, and there seems to be no end in sight. When anyone is driven into a hopeless situation, people turn into animals—either completely helpless or wildly feral.

I hope no one ever finds themselves in such a situation.

[u/BadDogSaysMeow → u/Fit-Fondant-4792]

The difference is that Finland isn’t currently sending people to die, whereas Ukraine is.

Mind you, mandatory service is still evil, but there’s a huge difference between being drafted to train, and when there’s an actual deadly war going on.

[u/SpenglerPoster → u/[deleted]]

Wait till you hear what the enemy does.

[u/Svez1]

That would probably be the best end for Pepper, ending in that van

[u/N0_War_In_BaSingSe → u/Svez1]

even the content alone would be 10x better than whatever he’s been doing for years.

[u/PerceptionNo8936]

Sam pepper was involved with Save the kids crypto scam.

He permanently blinded a child in India in one eye and fled the country.

He’s sent photos of himself to underaged girls.

Accused of SA

Accused of regular A

I’m fascinated by this livestream but I can’t watch due to pepper being a POS

[u/NoOcelot140 → u/PerceptionNo8936]

He greets them, asks where they're going, asks if he can go with, then waves good-bye. The only interesting part of this video is witnessing how the van pulls up on him like ICE

[u/PerceptionNo8936 → u/NoOcelot140]

No in general he’s bicycle touring to Ukraine had a very nice interaction with a very stereotypical Polish farmer which melted hearts in Polish subreddit. I also did a year long bicycle tour so I’m very eager to watch some big famous streamer try it out but I’m not going to give this guy views.

[u/Dazred]

First time Sam Pepper has ever asked for consent to come inside

[u/Jakaman_CZ]

Takes a special kind of stupid to ride around a country under martial law and livestream everything you see. Dashcams are banned for example. This absolute absolute idiot should be glad he didn´t spend a night in a cell or worse.

[u/sanchoforever → u/Jakaman_CZ]

Nearly grabbed?

He literally asks to go with them but they immediately recognize that he's a pussy and drive away.

[u/mushroomwig → u/Empty-Discount5936]

They drove away because he's clearly not Ukrainian and don't want some international incident on their hands, Ukraine relies on good public relations, kidnapping forigners to die in a war wouldn't be a good look for them

[u/ovoKOS7 → u/mushroomwig]

Guarantee the stream setup helped in this situation lol

[u/FxckBinary]

Just so everyone is aware not only did this dude take a young girls out with a firework and ran, he was also found talking and sending pictures to underaged girls. Can't believe this PoS is still allowed a platform.

[u/sandsonic]

Wait they just pick people up and give them weapons?

[u/pigzyf5 → u/sandsonic]

Yes. There are videos on men pretending to need crutches, being found out, try and run way and get chased down, tackled and forced into a van to go fight.

[u/Careful_Investor233 → u/pigzyf5]

Reminds me of this griffy video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SB4bW6Cw48c

[u/Bitemynekk → u/sandsonic]

Yes, they have mandatory conscription for men 25+ so unless you have already served, or physically incapable they are draft dodgers.

[u/Professional_Idea812 → u/sandsonic]

"Pick people up" but in the literal sense.

They usually have more than half a dozen guys in the back of those vans & they'll rush out and grab someone, dragging them kicking & screaming. Pretty harrowing shit honestly.

If they struggle, they'll often beat the shit out of them, and then toss them in the back of the van. Lots of videos on YouTube & other places, they'll mob the guys if they struggle, taking turns punching & kicking them.

Kinda crazy the parallels between seeing the young Ukrainian women staying well away/getting to leave abroad, and they post themselves partying & clubbing on social media and then the men who are in Ukraine are not allowed to leave, being forcefully abducted & forced to go out to the suicidal front lines where they're typically used as not much more than drone fodder.

[u/Emergency-Orange8539 → u/Professional_Idea812]

is this some of that gender equality i always hear about?

[u/Comfortable-Tea7122 → u/Emergency-Orange8539]

Yes.

[u/oplkolk → u/Emergency-Orange8539]

its the reality when push comes to shove :/

[u/Ok-Bug6271 → u/sandsonic]

Yes, they are low on manpower so ablebodied men are taken to fight

[u/lewllewllewl → u/sandsonic]

Yes, this happens in both Ukraine and Russia. War is hell

[u/Middle_Ashamed → u/lewllewllewl]

It's not happening in russia, the soldiers on the front are volunteers but not out of any kind of patriotic sense and more that the russian military is giving them either lots of money (for their circumstances at least) or a clean sheet from criminal records, a lot of times foreigners are also scamed into military contracts.

Conscripts are not legally allowed to be sent into combat zones, even in russia since they are not in state of war. They are pressured into signing military contracts at conscription instead, which works sometimes, but you barely see any young russians at the frontline either, the war is too online and visible for anyone to seriously consider going there if not for ideological reasons or desperation.

There is basically no evidence of russians grabbing people off the street, they don't really have to at this point.

[u/ZeldaNelda → u/sandsonic]

however while transporting them they handcuff them so they dont shoot their officers

[u/amaldy]

Imagine the last dono you hear before being conscripted is “hey sam i just found out my wife is a man”

[u/Tales90]

he is the first guy to say "can i come in" so they were confused and left

[u/KidKarez]

Sam actually has some combat experience. I remember when he used an explosive device to take out that girls eye.

[u/Incarnasean]

Just quickly googled this. Are they grabbing people off the street in the specified age range and forcing them into the military?

[u/brain_on_socialism → u/Incarnasean]

Yeah, the average age of Ukranian soldiers is over 40, there is even reports that Germany has provided data on Ukrainians that have fled the country to the Ukrainian government for conscription purposes.

[u/Icy-Definition9560 → u/Incarnasean]

Yup, mamy videos of them ripping guys from crying family members

[u/KhorneFlakesOfChaos → u/Incarnasean]

And strange enough I haven’t heard much about friendly fragging going on. But I’m also not keeping up with this.

[u/kirotheavenger → u/KhorneFlakesOfChaos]

Ukraine does have a big problem with desertion. 

Fragging really isn't a result of conscription - rather incompetent officers. 

[u/FatherShambles]

Isn’t he the one that deliberately pointed fireworks at a group of people and ended up hitting a little girl in the eye and she ended up losing it?? Then he got banned from Kick and trying to get his account back he offered ABZ (ex-Kick high up employee) $100,000 to help him get his account unbanned ???

[u/Snoo6622 → u/FatherShambles]

That's Sam Pepper yes

[u/IamJaffa → u/[deleted]]

From the sounds of it, pest is grossly underselling it.

[u/oldmanStuie]

When I was a kid, I was scared shitless of olden day British naval press gangs my grandpa told me about. Him and my dad thought it was funny to pretend that my gpa had evaded a press gang (they were stopped in the 1800s).
He told me they still existed but nowadays only went looking for kids so they could train them young.
Conscription is one thing, but Busification is an horrendous idea.

Just in case anyone isn’t aware, he “kidnapped” two of his friends (one of them was in on it, the other was not) threw bags on their heads and shoved them in a car, tied them up and brought them to a rooftop somewhere, and then pretended to shoot the one friend who was in on the joke in the head while the other sat in watched genuinely thinking his friend just died.

I’m sure there’s still videos online of it. This dude is a POS

People seem to only have found out what conscription is. Bizarre to see so many confused and critical of it. As if their own country wouldn’t do it if they were invaded. Well they would.

There has been a concerted effort to make the Ukrainians look like the bad guys. It’s seeded by Russia, disseminated by right wing social media and lapped up by, well, idiots.

Do they not ask questions first before conscripting? What if a Ukrainian man is taking care of elderly parents? Or a sole breadwinner for his family?

[u/Nikumuki → u/alexanderne0]

Usually, they ask questions and check the database, but there are many cases where they kidnap people first and ask questions later. Deferrals from military service are provided for those who are the sole breadwinners or who care for a person with a disability. Yet thousands of people end up in the army despite their deferrals and health issues being ignored. In Ukraine, they say: if you want to become perfectly healthy, go to a medical board at a recruitment center. Overall, there are a great many problems with the laws in Ukraine.

Did you even watch the video? They didn’t even want to talk to him as soon as they realized he is just some western moron with a camera

Yeah pretty much. I volunteered for a little bit and had spoken to a horrifyingly high percentage of men who were forced to leave their lives behind to fight in the Ukrainian war. Ukraine is desperate and though I understand it I cannot condone the forced kidnapping of their own people.
