What's really sick is the personality cult around this creep, even after the end of IAU. I had originally assumed that the "I love Hunter" posts that appear on the Internet on the topic were him-- he's a troll; trolls do that-- but apparently he has real-life fans. It's basically the Shawn Parker story. No real accomplishments, but active participation in the party scene leads to high status. If this current incarnation of the VC-funded bubble hasn't crashed, in 3 years he'll be part of the "tech" in-crowd and people here will be discussing his new venture capital fund. I, for one, will never take investment from any VC firm that employs Hunter Moore as a Managing Partner.

> What's really sick is the personality cult around this creep Yeah, I just had a look at his Twitter, there's a lot of girls sending him naked pictures and telling him how much they love him, and a bunch of sycophants avidly defending him (in a highly misogynistic manner, natürlich).

  > there's a lot of girls sending him naked pictures and telling him how much they love him Some women just have really broken status filters. They're attracted to guys with high status, and ignore the fact that he achieved that through evil means. It's the same thing that causes women to fall in love with convicted murderers serving life sentences. From his vice interview: A lot of people send the naked pictures to get jobs in the adult industry, too. But the one thing they have in common is they’re fucking retarded. That’s the similarity. They’re just stupid people. All I really do is take advantage of them; it’s just them being fucking retarded. http://www.vice.com/read/hunter-moores-new-site-will-make-getting-a-blowjob-as-easy-as-ordering-pizza http://www.vice.com/read/hunter-moores-new-site-will-make-ge...

Surely, there's no chance of that actually happening? He's going to end up bankrupt behind bars, right?
