Disappointing. I've heard Blaire debate several times before and have been impressed- she speaks well, seems educated about the topics and carries things well. It's clear she wasn't taking things seriously from the start, and yeah I get it's Onision who is hard to take seriously to begin with and she has no respect for him, but I guess I was hoping she would FINALLY be the one to keep his bullshit to a minimum, and actually throw his "facts" right back in his face. She was obviously tipsy, and while I think she put him in his place better than anyone else yet (ie; Joy/Jaclyn), she could have hit a home run and really destroyed him if she put in some more time to research, which I figured she would going into a debate. Brining up his own rape videos would have really turned things back on him after him immediately going on about the picture, and how many times can the 13 year old thing be rehashed? It needed a mod bigtime. She usually uses Jeff Holiday who does a good job staying unbiased and keeping things on topic, but obviously couldn't after he flipped on Onision when he was about to mod the previous debate with Joy. I know a lot of people seemed to like how she kept "shushing" and muting him, and even though I DESPISE Onision there were several times it seemed like she wasn't letting him give rebuttals…he does a good job at digging his own grave and being contradictory as hell. Ahhh well.

I'm currently about half an hour in and even though I really dislike Blaire's other videos, she's impressed me so far. She's gained herself a new fan today.
The only criticism I have is that she keeps going in circles saying that he's "creepy" although not doing anything illegal, but she can't explain why it's creepy. It's creepy because people who are under 25's bodies and brains are still developing. He's under the impression that it's okay to rate someone's body becuase it's his "honest opinion" and that it's okay to have relationships with people who are about to turn 18 because legally, they can consent to sex then.
The reality is that having someone you admire tell you that you're fat or ugly is seriously damaging to a child. Sure, in a few years they'll forget about what he said but they will never forget how he made them feel. The irony is that he attacks Eugenia for causing eating disorders in young girls when his comments are the exact kind of comments that would trigger an eating disorder in someone whose brain is not yet fully developed (seriously, spend 5 minutes on a pro-ana website and you'll see that comments like these from friends, family and crushes are huge triggers for young girls which they take with them into adulthood).
Sure, someone who is 18 is legally seen as an adult (and they are trusted to drive, drink, vote and have sex) but their brains and bodies are still very much developing. He goes for young women for a reason, they are impressionable. Any of his previous wives/girlfriends have been heavily manipulated into staying at home and having no friends (nobody over the age of 25 who has had experience in relationships would stand for that!). I know there isn't much sympathy for Lainey here, but being with your "idol" from the very young age of 17, not being allowed to leave the house and having all your friends and family shit on in countless videos must be so psychologically damaging and he knows it.
