(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Right so as many of you may know last week Eurogamer Expo was held in London and lots of youtubers went including KSIOlajidebt.
If you are a fan of KSI then you may be familiar with his "being awkward in public" series, and episode of which he did at EuroGamer...
However yesterday 2 news articles popped up describing KSI's actions as sexual assault, thus getting him banned from future EuroGamer events.
To read the articles and watch the video check out these below:

Now I think this is wrong completely, there was no sexual assault involved and the "motorboating" was perfectly fine as the girl gave him consent.
The part which I would say was a bit dodgy is the "shouldn't you be fingering yourself?" However I'm sure if they asked any of the girls he spoke to they would not say he sexually harassed or assaulted them.

The media have over exaggerated this a lot in my opinion, and caused quite an uproar on twitter last night.

Maybe KSI did go over the top, but I think those articles are completely exaggerated and make him sound like some sort of sex offender..

What are your opinions on this?
Do you think KSI is in the wrong?
Or has the media gone a little too far with this article?

I saw all of them not sure if its 2 or 3. Their was some funny parts like when he stalks a black girl and saids "oprah can i have your autograph" However, in regards to the one in EUROGAMER; he did motorboat a women (she had a shirt on). Moreover, if these vids are giving him problems he should just stop them. I feel that he should go back to simply making us laugh on fifa. Are the vids funny yes but, with all the drama why bother?

I wouldn't consider that sexual harassment since the girls weren't really offended and were friendly. If they had reacted negatively then yes, it would be considered sexual harassment. If they consider this assaulting a woman, they should come see Egypt and it's men :p

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he warned the girls that he was gonna say something awkward. Those articles are full of shit saying he "molested" them is such an over-exaggeration as he did have the consent to motorboat that girl. Also, he probably asks for their consent to allow him to put them on youtube. There's two sides to every story but these journalist fags are only focusing on one.

I think KSI should remain doing these videos as controversy sells.

If anything looks like eurogamer is trying to protect the image of the gaming event. It a marketing nightmare to allow something like this to happen and do nothing.
But the booth babes said it was ok to be part of this video so it a hard thing to balance. You also have to take into account that any mother who gets wind of this i doubt very much seen his videos or even knows about the trolling craze.
Yes it was done for entertainment but is a line even within a craze.
Good example of a sub culture craze leaking out and a company trying to protect it interest along with damage control and misunderstanding.

IF anything i would have pullled him to one side and said i don't want you filming that sort of video at any furture events not out right ban him.

Blew out of proportion without a doubt.

The thin line between sexual harassment and disrespectful or improper behaviour is getting thinner and thinner.

I think there's a place and a time for certain things and those interviews are completely misplaced.

This guy's "work" is not really what I call funny but hey, like someone said, Howard Stern makes a living out of it.
