    Also, IMO, voluntary or not, this goes over the edge, especially on the streaming part. If someone genuinely enjoys this, they can do it in private, and exactly as they like.

    When money and popularity get involved, this prompts more extreme behavior, turning a willing masochist into a victim, and a game into a trap.

    Besides, authorities could have at least checked up on him.

      Sources for that information should be easy to cite, yet I notice none.

      they can do it in private

      How do we tell real apart from fake performances? Should fake performances be private only when they already aren’t? Seems difficult to police without chilling freedoms.

      Economic coercion needs to be controlled somehow. I guess the question is how to police actual abuse while permitting legal performances like the Jackass franchise of reality, slapstick comedy.
