22yo Man attacked for being a "predator" for setting up Tinder date with 18yo Woman. - This is a "social media trend"? Sorry, when is this a social media trend now?

Context for this story:

Five students (and now suspects) used Tinder to lure a man, aged 22, to a college campus as they wanted to catch a predator, based on a current trend on TikTok. One of the suspects, Kelsy Brainard aged 18, used her Tinder profile to lure him to college. He arrived to campus, him and his date (Kelsy Brainard) were watching a baseball game in the student lounge when students, up to 30, mobilized by the five main suspects, gathered and called him a sexual predator, pedophile, "liking sex with 17 year old girls", etc (basically falsely accusing him and saying his date is underaged). They chased him to his car and punched him in the head.

The five main student suspects are: Kelsy Brainard, 18; Kevin Carroll, 18; Joaqin Smith, 18; Isabella Trudeau, 18; and Easton Randall, 19. So a mixture of male and female students, along with the other students who attacked him.

"The goal of the Tinder invite was to simulate the TikTok fad of luring a sexual predator to a location and subsequently physically assaulting him or calling the police,” the report said. When interviewed, one of the students referenced the reality show “To Catch a Predator,” hosted by Chris Hansen.""

Guess what? Age of consent in Illinois is 17. Kids are really dumb, even if they're in their late teens.

Men you MUST be careful in all situations with women, dont be blind and think it wont happen to you. For gosh sake get off the dating apps!!

If an 18 year old woman can’t pick who to date, why do we let them vote?

It became a trend when all the women who hit the wall realized that the pool of men is small and getting smaller. Between men going their own way, Choosing to just have a roster, are already married, and those who have alternative lifestyle, the men in their age and income brackets are small.. just about the only thing they can do is use their social clout to make it taboo for a man who is a bit older to go for younger women of legal age. They cant compete against those younger women if they were to offer legit competition, (an older woman competing with a younger woman based on biological value alone, is like a store manager at staples trying to compete with Eric Trump on finances alone. the former in these examples are outclassed) so the next best thing is to attack the male image as it pertains to this.. They know that the Female hive mind will hop on board to support the cause..

Reverse the genders and this would be considered an incel rampage

All fun and games until these vigilantes get wet up 🔫 Stop playing with ppl

The infantilisation of women is quite alarming. Women at 18 are adults, they are not children. Every sub on Reddit seems to have a post each week about age gap relationships and “is it okay to date a woman who is 23, as I am 30?”. It’s ridiculous. Women are adults, with freedom to say and do as they wish. If that’s someone who is older or younger or the same age, then it’s nobody’s business so long as it’s legal. Wtf is happening the world.

ragebeeflord · 2025-01-08T18:55:46+00:00

18 and 22 is really not that far away and she was of legal age. This is pathetic.

Significant_Oil_3204 · 2025-01-08T14:41:37+00:00

It’s not that weird for women to date 10/20 years above them. Tinder is full of messed up folk by the looks of it.

Vegetable_Ad1732 · 2025-01-08T22:48:13+00:00

After thinking about this a little more. I think this is an excellent example of just how successful feminism has been at demonizing men, and male sexuality in particular. Any guys who think MGTOW is not the smart move are simply stupid.

Mysterious-Citron875 · 2025-01-08T19:16:37+00:00

This is insane yet something I have already seen, people using the term "predator" and "pedophile" randomly against any man and trying to hurt him for that.

I have read of a 18 yo man pushed to suicide over pedophilic allegation because we grateful to a 17 yo woman for editing his videos for free, the latter being complicit alongside her boyfriend who decided to ruin the man's life.

And yes, when I say "grateful" that's what really happened, the man was just very excited and thankful, and the woman decided to took it sexually. And even if he was sexual with a 17 year old, it's not paedophilia, not even close.

This is just a call of massacre of random innocent men.

Late-Hat-9144 · 2025-01-09T01:29:41+00:00

And they claim false allegations aren't an issue. 🙄

Agreeable_Practice11 · 2025-01-08T17:28:41+00:00

A link to the story online. Insane.

Will women be happy when they've killed the dating apps where they already have the advantage?

hectorgarabit · 2025-01-08T16:19:26+00:00

I think we need to implement a few laws to prevent more of these predators from abusing these poor young girls:

- Girls less than 30 and not married need to ask their father for the authorization to go on a date. The father can then gauge if the potential date is a pervert or not. It is obvious that an 18-year-old "teenager" doesn't have the maturity to do so.

- We need to forbid dating and marriage between a man and a woman if the man's salary is more than twice the woman's salary. That way we avoid the unhealthy power imbalance between men and women.

These 2 simple measures should ensure no more "teenage girls" are victimized by dirty 22-year-old men. \s

neutralityparty · 2025-01-08T18:49:56+00:00

It's assault

UndefinedFemur · 2025-01-08T22:10:01+00:00

Oh no, a FOUR year age gap between two consenting adults! The horror!

asdf333aza · 2025-01-08T23:21:33+00:00

This is literally a respectable age that no one should cry about. Sounds like maybe the girl in this situation set the guy up. How else would a group of 25 othe dudes know this was a tinder date? And if yhr guy was 22 how could they even tell him apart from the rest of the college goers.

Sounds like a bunch of dummies looking for an excuse to attack somebody. And like the cowards they are, they had to do it in a group.

norseman777 · 2025-01-08T20:43:12+00:00

I mean it got pretty big news. So that I feel is actually a really big Win, and the Feeling I get from the Report is this is messed up. They are both young consenting adults who both mutually aggreged to meat up and then this man is Attacked.

The biggest thing that is messed up, and no one I see talking about here is the fact they could literally be in School together.

18 and 22 in College is normal, common, and no one ever I knew batted an eye past the fact they couldn't go to the bar with you so we made quips at dudes OR chicks that would go for younger folks at school.

Hell how many Guys in the Military is this age gap or literally the same.

Just is something to Watch out for the Younger Guys nowadays I guess...

JtCorona8 · 2025-01-09T00:16:43+00:00

Because he is a man, and nothing is cooler than taking them down!

leshuis · 2025-01-08T19:03:01+00:00

22 and 18, where is the predator here

Lets_Remain_Logical · 2025-01-08T17:04:29+00:00

It's simple. Women are making this a taboo following the trend of shaming men for everything. A French humours said jokingly but with a hint of the truth. Liking a 20 years old when you are 50 yeah is very unconventional and perverse may be. But.... Liking a 70 yo sexually when you are 50.... Isn't that totally disturbed?

No. There is nothing g immoral in dating 18 yo. There is a reason why the sexual majority is under 15 in most of the countries in Europe! And no, women cannot be strong and emantipated, but when it comes to dating, they are gullible and impressable!

Codename-18 · 2025-01-08T19:01:11+00:00

Man the US is doomed, my gf is 18 and I'm 39 lmao

Huckleberry1340 · 2025-01-08T15:36:25+00:00

This is “trend” is an odd behavior to say the least, but can we take a moment to acknowledge the name of the university is literally ASSUMPTION university, like the irony on this crazy lol.

Vegetable_Ad1732 · 2025-01-08T22:22:30+00:00

Holy crap!!! Good news is at least they are arresting the girls. Sick B&*ches though.

leshuis · 2025-01-08T19:04:37+00:00

because of the trend.... it is still there choice to follow the trend

Shuuuuuuush369420 · 2025-01-09T20:08:42+00:00

I’m confused, did they say on the dating app (which is for 18+) that they were 17?? I’m so confused

1Cobbler · 2025-01-10T03:11:45+00:00

This all started when the right started trying to out virtue the left. Remember that Cuties movie? I swear that's where it started.

No-one used to care about this sort of stuff. In the 80/90s this was totally normal.

spletharg2 · 2025-01-13T03:06:38+00:00

But yet they let 18 year old children vote and drive cars. What's with that? Also, what's with 18 year old children being allowed on Tinder?

R0ckyTac0 · 2026-08-08T14:07:33+00:00

The assholes got away with it.

There are other legal ways to deal with an attempted kidnapping, and the assholes wouldn’t get away with it. Just putting that out there. America has some strong laws allowing you to protect yourself from kidnappings and assaults.
