A Taiwanese YouTuber, 'Bai Tongxue,' with over 200,000 subscribers, is under fire for a video that has circulated widely on social media. In the footage, he is seen approaching two young girls who had just exited a restroom. He allegedly began filming them without their explicit consent, making comments about their appearance, describing them as smelling 'fragrant' and saying that 'married men would be absolutely satisfied' upon seeing them.
Further escalating the controversy, Bai Tongxue reportedly asked for the girls' social media accounts and prompted them to send him messages like 'I love you' and 'Brother, I'm the sister you just met.' He also invited them to join him on a 'late-night adventure' for his filming, an offer the girls declined, stating they needed to go home.
The video segment was shared on Threads, where it drew significant criticism from netizens who condemned the YouTuber's actions as predatory and exploitative. Many expressed disgust at his 'lewd remarks' and the apparent sexual undertones of his interactions with minors, accusing him of using content creation as a pretext for harassment. This incident has also brought renewed attention to past allegations of misconduct against Bai Tongxue, including accusations of secretly filming women's lower bodies in public spaces.
Adding another layer to the scandal, online commenters have identified the woman operating the camera in the controversial video as Bai Tongxue's wife, who is reportedly a junior high school teacher. This revelation has further fueled public outrage and disbelief, with many questioning her involvement and tolerance of her husband's behavior. Calls for relevant authorities to investigate the matter and take legal action are growing.
