The internet is not talking about "Reckless Ben" and the situation regarding Bricks and Minifigs at all. So let me help bring some attention to this thing. Ben Schneider is a comedic YouTube journalist in the same vain as Nathan For You/Nathan Felder. His work into the abuse of Russ McKamey and McKamey Manor resulted in a Hulu Documentary, and prompted the Tennessee attorney general to open an investigation. His first major video he infiltrated Scientology wearing spyglasses. Now he is investigating the theft of a families' heirloom Star Wars LEGO collection, and he's looking at FIVE YEARS in prison for doing so. The story involves Bricks and Minifigs placing the families prized LEGO collection on consignment and then just stealing the $200,000 worth of inventory, never giving the family the inventory or the money for the product. It's an incredible act of theft, brazenly admitted to on camera. But because it is technically a civil matter, and Bricks and Minifigs are a 400M dollar company their response was simply "Take us to Court." Doing so would cost more money than the family has. So Reckless Ben comes in, spends three months exposing all the corruption from the franchise down to the corporate offices. Did I mention that Bricks and Minifig is a very valuable Mormon owned company in Utah and run by BYU graduates? That's important information. Ben explains the collusion with the LDS church in his video. The latest video, which has not been made public yet results in Ben being harassed by the Mormon police department in American Fork, illegally redacting bodycam audio, swatted at gun point and his entire team being taken to jail for "starting a GoFundMe." Ben spent days in jail. I am not making this up. The police tell him that is the reason. Then the police raid his home in Los Angeles and issue a warrant for his arrest. He is facing FIVE YEARS in prison. For simply doing journalism, and trying to bring attention to this family who had their sick grandfathers Lego collection stolen from them. The second video has not been released from his Patreon yet, but I suspect it will soon. It is one of the most unbelievable stories I have ever seen, and better than any crime documentary you will watch on Netflix this year. If you are not aware of what is going on let me ask you to spread the word. The entire internet needs to come to the support of Reckless Ben and Bricks and Minifigs should be completely shut down forever and investigated by the DOJ.

For those on this site who try so hard to convince me and everyone else that Western Tourists are not a constant and radioactive problem for many hobbies and fandoms, ESPECIALLY Anime/Manga... Or how "gatekeeping is toxic"...ok...let me show you "toxic". I want to tell you about the insane and stupid incident surrounding Gachiakuta: -Creator Kei Urana has declared that she was leaving X because of the trashfire of a harassment she had been receiving from so-called Western "fans" over a span of months -She received harassment for the crime of...saying "don't force your headcanon on my works please", "stop tracing my art for your OCs". The Western "Fans" proceeded to attack her relentlessly, calling her every stupid buzzword imaginable from "bigot" "racist" "transphobic" the list goes on. -Her final straw was when she responded to a fun Jabber dance video where someone used leeks/onions for the character's onion hairstyle. AGAIN, the usual Western "Fans" accuse her of being racist...for some reason. -Kei Urana was so sickened with these Narcissistic Western "Fans", using her creation to push their self-important socio-political and headcanon crap...to the point that she cannot even defend her own works without some clowns dogpiling and attacking her for it. -It was SO BAD that even the Gachiakuta's Graffiti Artist Hideyoshi Andou said "fuck this I'm out too" and disabled his account. -Some of the Western "fans" gloated that they chased her off the the site, others downplayed and defended what they did...and a subset of them STALKED HER INSTAGRAM just to keep messing with her. This is why we can never have nice things - and this is why Gatekeeping is extremely paramount and important. Without proper gatekeeping, you have incidents like these, where these Western "Fans", Nuisance Tourists, will make the creator of the thing they are supposedly "fans" of, absolutely miserable. This is so sickening and tiresome.
