There used to be a YouTube channel named SevenSuperGirls so many years ago, and there were other YouTube channels that were its partner YouTube channels. These were channels that showed videos of mostly teenage girls who were in middle school and high school having fun.
YouTube shut all these channels down after their owner, Ian Rylett, got into trouble for sexually harassing a 15-year-old female employee of his. Now, in a video, YouTuber Uncle Herman attempted to misconstrue this story as one about an old man sexually molesting a little girl still virtually in diapers.
YouTuber Uncle Herman's video is pedophile-panic propaganda that amounts to nothing more than a sensationalist piece of tripe. There is no such thing as a 15-year-old child molestation victim. Anyhow, here is his video below.
YouTuber Uncle Herman Misuses An Incident On YouTube To Stir Up A Moral Panic
In his video above, YouTuber Uncle Herman tries to make Mr. Rylett seem like an evil old man in his seventies, when, in fact, he was a middle-aged man who merely did a dumb thing. Yes, I get it. Mr. Rylett is no John Stamos. Therefore, he's more likely to receive snide remarks about his age than Mr. Stamos would. However, he's not a dirty old man in a raincoat either.
YouTuber Herman expresses his concern that adult men may have been watching the videos from these SevenSuperGirls channels. If they were looking at the 8-year-old girls and the 9-year-old girls on its set, yes, I do have a problem with that. However, if they were looking at teenage girls, my response is, "So what?"
Does anyone honestly believe that teenage boys mature beyond their attraction to adolescent girls as these boys go on into adulthood? Adult men have been gawking at adolescent girls since the beginning of time. No harm done.
Now, I can understand a parent not wanting a grown man to gawk at their prepubescent daughter. My response to that is that the parent shouldn't even put their little daughter on camera in the first place. In any event, I don't believe that Mr. Rylett put any pictures of the girls on the SevenSuperGirls' set and its partner YouTube channels on the dark web despite what YouTuber Uncle Herman implies in his video.
1. Tasteless Humor About Teenage Girls
In the video above, comedian Daniel Tosh makes some remarks about the viewers of the SevenSuperGirls channels that are not even remotely funny. If he disparages these channels so much and preaches about how nobody should ever have watched them, especially adult men, I have to question how he found out about them.
Mr. Tosh claims that these YouTube channels had received as much as 12 billion views. Then he claims that the viewers all had to be "dudes." The dumb punchline that he invokes is that all 12 billion viewers need to be locked up.
There are approximately 8 billion people on our planet. So, how would it be possible to lock up 12 billion people if the Earth doesn't have that many people? Moreover, to do that, in the event that there were that many people, the entire Earth would have to be turned into a maximum security prison. The governments of the world don't have that kind of money to make this happen. Uh, I honestly believe that Mr. Tosh pulled that statistic out of his backside to entertain his audience rather than to speak the truth.
So what's the big deal if all the viewers of SevenSuperGirls were "dudes?" Perhaps these men had a void they needed to fill in their lives as a result of missing out on the teenage dating scene during their adolescent years. The teenage girls in those videos likely made them feel nostalgic about the kind of girlfriend they would have wanted to have if they had met one in middle school or high school.
I've never heard of anyone raping anyone with their eyes. Mr. Tosh and YouTuber Uncle Herman both seem to believe that such a thing is possible.
Mr. Tosh delves into what can be best described as the chomo hypocrisy. I wouldn't doubt that Mr. Tosh and YouTuber Uncle Herman have gotten their rocks off watching a number of videos of teenage girls in bikinis from the SevenSuperGirls channels and its partner YouTube channels.
Chris Hansen has probably watched all the videos from those same channels showing teenage girls and even pre-teenage girls in bikinis, and he probably got his rocks off doing so too. At the end of the day, he's always about superficial appearances.
Now, Justin Payne? Nahhh. He's too much of a square to check out teenage girls in bikinis. Therefore, I'm not going to direct any suspicions his way. I don't particularly like Mr. Payne, but I do believe that he is true to his convictions regardless of how puritanical they may be.
2. The Reality Of Adult Men's Sexual Attraction To Teenage Girls
YouTuber Uncle Herman misconstrues any sexual desire that an adult man has for a teenage girl as pedophilia. Obviously, he has never read the Fifth Edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders ("DSM-5"), because what he contends in that respect cannot be any further from the truth. It's pop psychology at best.
The movie Thirteen had a scene in it in which two 13-year-old girls made out with a 27-year-old man. There was nothing implied about pedophilia or child molestation with it, because it wasn't about either one of those abominations.
That same scene was about two teenage girls going older in their sexual pursuits. It happens all the time, and these girls' heads don't drop off. Below is a video that even talks about it.
The Movie "Thirteen" Was Brutally Honest About Puberty And Adolescence
YouTuber Uncle Herman is a self-appointed psychiatrist, and that on its own is a crime inasmuch as it is illegal for anyone to practice psychiatry without a medical license. His misuse of the word "pedophile" and its likes is a criminal offense. That is, unless he was talking about any adult man lusting after any 9-year-old girls on the set of SevenSuperGirls.
Now, I'm not here to make Ian Rylett look like a goody two shoes. He may not be a poster child for good behavior. However, what he did to a 15-year-old girl in his employ is nothing compared with what underage boys have done with girls that young.
Back in 2023 in Mississippi, the late Aubreigh Wyatt committed suicide at the age of thirteen. Why? Four girls in her school were tormenting her and bullying her. A boy the same age as her forcibly raped her when she was 12 years old. Levi Johnston raped Bristol Palin when they were both 16 years old.
Instead of complaining about Mr. Rylett only getting 51 days behind bars, YouTuber Uncle Herman should be complaining about the late Aubreigh Wyatt's rapist not even getting arrested for what he did. He should also be running a cancel campaign against Levi Johnston. Neither of these two punks should be walking the streets freely.
Florida is the most punitive state jurisdiction in the United States when it comes to sexual offenses against minors. Therefore, if the Florida court system went lenient on Mr. Rylett, I'm sure that they had their reasons for doing so.
Mr. Rylett could merely have been someone suffering a mid-life crisis à la Joey Buttafuoco. I'm not trying to put angel wings on this man. What he did was fairly audacious, although, at the same time, that 15-year-old girl could have walked away from it any time she wanted to do so.
All Mr. Rylett could have done to retaliate against her in that same event would be to remove her from his SevenSuperGirls channels altogether. At that point in time, I could not imagine that she would have wanted to continue on working for him.
You're probably asking one pressing question. Why do men do what Mr. Rylett did? You only need to watch the movie titled The Bride He Bought Online to get the answer to that question.
3. The Facts About Ian Rylett
The facts of the matter regarding SevenSuperGirls are that Ian Rylett did sexually harass his 15-year-old female employee at worst, but he did not sexually molest a child. If this girl had only been 9 years old, then I would call him a child molester. However, she was of high-school age. She had breasts, pubic hair on her genital area, and everything else that a 21-year-old woman would have.
This was not a little girl who played with coloring books, watched Bugs Bunny cartoons, and played hopscotch on the sidewalk in front of her house. This wasn't a scenario in which a dirty old man kidnapped a 7-year-old girl in his car while she was playing with her jump rope, so that he could take her off somewhere to do the unthinkable to her.
YouTuber Uncle Herman overdramatizes this story in his video and goes as far as showing the names and telephone numbers of organizations that assist rape victims. Oh, brother. In contrary to YouTuber Uncle Herman's narrative, the SevenSuperGirls channel and their partner YouTube channels did not cater to pedophiles, because pedophiles are not sexually attracted to adolescent girls.
Okay. I completely get it. Everyone has the right to be concerned about the elementary-school-age girls on the set of the SevenSuperGirls and their partner YouTube channels. However, what YouTuber Uncle Herman is trying to do is mislead the public into believing that a sexual harassment case involving a 15-year-old girl is no different from a 75-year-old man kidnapping and raping a 6-year-old girl.
YouTuber Uncle Herman is conflating two situations that are light years apart. YouTuber Uncle Herman? If you're reading my article, I want to convey this one thought to you. You are not an alpha male. You are merely a tabloid journalist who doesn't care about the truth.
Mr. Rylett may have even been an oddball who pulled rank now and then by imposing unconventional rules, but I would never equate him to monstrosities like Jesse Timmendequas, the late John Couey, Donald James Smith, Joseph Duncan III, and the late Kenneth Parnell, just to name a few notorious child molesters.
According to medical science, there is no such thing as a post-pubescent child. The concept of one is merely a social construct.
The videos from these same channels were not child sexual abuse material, because nobody got raped on camera and most of the girls on them were not pre-pubescent children.
Now, I do agree that it was somewhat unusual that Mr. Rylett had teenage girls appear on camera with somewhat of a Goldilocks look rather than how they would normally dress off camera. In any event, it doesn't mean that he was trying to get them to appeal to diaper snipers. Everyone could see that they were teenagers rather than toddlers.
The videos on those SevenSuperGirls channels of the teenage girls in bikinis were like re-runs of Swans Crossing at worst. None of the girls ever disrobed on camera; and they wouldn't have been able to do so, because YouTube would have kicked them off the platform.
I get it. Some radical feminists don't like for girls that age to be objectified. However, women are objectifying men of all ages all the time whenever they make snide remarks about their body parts.
I would have to say that Mr. Rylett could be mistaken for one of those eccentric characters that you might have seen on episodes of Californication. However, a child molester? No. Unless, of course, he was zeroing in on the elementary-school-age girls, which YouTuber Uncle Herman is yet to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt.
At the end of the day, YouTuber Uncle Herman is merely running another campaign to demonize adult men, particularly middle-aged ones, as the cause of all teenage girls' problems despite that it is underage boys that are committing the majority of heinous sex crimes against girls in this age range. He is also spreading pedophile-panic propaganda that he has masqueraded as public awareness.
If any of us are going to call Mr. Rylett a pedophile, then we would also have to accuse deadbeat teenage fathers of being child molesters and pedophiles regardless of how close in age difference they were to the underage girls they got pregnant and no matter how young they were when they did so.
Of course, it is not for us or YouTuber Uncle Herman to decide who is and who is not a pedophile, but rather it is for the American Psychiatric Association ("A. P. A.") to decide. They are the experts.
According to the DSM-5, Mr. Rylett would not be a pedophile for bribing a 15-year-old girl to strip naked in front of him. Yes, he crossed a legal line, but he never forced anyone into doing anything they didn't want to do.
You're probably asking, "If he was 55 years old at the time of his brush with the law, why would he want to see a 15-year-old girl naked?" Perhaps he wanted to be the next King Louie XV of France or the next Juan Perón. Or perhaps he was nostalgic.
Who can really say? However, his actions have nothing to do with pedophilia. If every nation raised its statutory age of consent to 35, it wouldn't make every adult man who has sexual feelings for a 34-year-old woman a pedophile or a child molester. Statutory-rape laws don't determine who is and who is not a pedophile.
Would Mr. Rylett be a sex offender for doing what he did? That would be for the courts to decide.
Mr. Rylett was convicted of a sexual offense for what he did to his 15-year-old female employee, but the judge did not see his offense as the crime of the century. What Levi Johnston did to Bristol Palin when she was 16 years old and what a 12- or 13-year-old Mississippi boy did to the late Aubreigh Wyatt when she was 12 years old are far worse than anything that Mr. Rylett could have done.
Because Levi Johnston and the nameless underage Mississippi boy both raped a girl the same age as them, the dunces of our society chalk it all off as normal adolescent behavior, when nothing could be any further from the truth. One of those two same girls has died from suicide. Hence, YouTuber Uncle Herman's video is nothing but pedophile-panic propaganda.
At the same time, if these girls from SevenSuperGirls actually suffered any kind of financial damages from their professional involvement with Mr. Rylett, then, by all means, they have every right to take him to court and sue him for whatever amount of money they feel is fit. I don't believe that their "childhoods" were ruined, but, then again, I wasn't there when everything was happening between them and Mr. Rylett.
4. Final Thoughts
Don't get me wrong. I realize that no teenage girl here in the United States has it easy. In the 1960s, it used to be dangerous to be a teenage girl. All you have to do to know so is watch the 1967 film titled Born Losers about a bike gang that rapes the local teenage girls in a California town.
The American court system was horrendous with adolescent girls as young as 12 years old whenever they had to provide victim testimony on the witness stand in a rape case. It brings to mind this one scene in the movie titled Town Without Pity in which the late Kirk Douglas played a criminal defense lawyer and he had cross-examined a 16-year-old German girl in a military court case in which she had alleged that American soldiers had gang-raped her.
In that scene, the criminal defense attorney tried to make the young girl look like a lying Jezebel. The scene showed a German woman in the courtroom who disbelieved that this young girl had been gang-raped. If a trial like that were to happen today, everyone in the courtroom would be looking at the American soldiers in a shaming way.
It's ironic that recently the late Natalie Wood's sister claimed that the late Kirk Douglas raped the late Natalie Wood when she was 15 years old. I believe that everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. However, it still is suspicious that the late Mr. Douglas would have wanted to play the movie role of a criminal defense attorney in a rape case.
The problem that I have with the way that society and the law handle allegations of sexual misconduct involving teenage girls here in the United States nowadays is that whenever a 13-, 14-, or 15-year-old girl's rapist or assailant is a boy the same age as her, all the know-it-alls will chalk it off as normal adolescent behavior; whereas these same people will promote the school of thought that older men are to blame for all of teenage girls' problems.
This same school of thought makes no sense at all. By no standards do I consider Ian Rylett to be a model citizen or a pillar of society. However, I also do not believe that he is the monster that YouTuber Uncle Herman makes him out to be in his video above.
It can be no mystery that Mr. Rylett doesn't know how to behave properly in the presence of teenage girls. By the same token, I don't agree with anyone who accuses him of being a child molester or pedophile in defiance of the DSM-5. The DSM-5 actually considers his attraction to teenage girls to be normative in spite of any age difference between him and girls that young.
There are too many self-appointed psychiatrists flooding the digital airwaves of the Internet, and YouTuber Uncle Herman is no exception. Let's all have facts rather than fear.
YouTuber Uncle Herman and his followers note that teenage girls are not attracted to men in their fifties and more often than not feel grossed out by their show of affection. Fine. I don't completely agree with that statement, but I'll respect it.
Nevertheless, if teenage girls find middle-aged men in their fifties to be repulsive, then YouTuber Uncle Herman and his followers don't really have much of a leg to stand on as for their contention that Mr. Rylett "groomed" the teenage girls who worked for him on the SevenSuperGirls' set and its partner YouTube channels.
All of the self-proclaimed child advocates and pedophile-panic fanatics need to stop contradicting their own narratives, because they are only making fools out of themselves. Perhaps YouTuber Uncle Herman knows how to get his audience riled up, but he doesn't do a very good job at reporting the facts. He is promoting fake pedophilia.
