In the latest instance of an influencer’s “prank” going way too far, a video on Reddit captures an influencer known as Iceposeidon handing out a risqué party flyer to a visibly underage girl while livestreaming. Just moments later, her mother steps in, delivering a scalding that’s resonated with thousands online. “Don’t do that shit,” she snaps, explaining the minor he handed the flyer to was just 13. She then warns him that he’s “lucky her husband wasn’t there” to confront him himself.
The influencer tries to defend himself, insisting it’s “just a joke” and claiming that he’s been “handing it out to everyone.” But this casual dismissal only fuels the backlash. Reddit commenters haven’t held back, pointing out that handing an explicit flyer to a minor isn’t just a lapse in judgment—it’s crossing a serious line. “Your Honor, it was a joke” isn’t the best defense, one user quipped, while another blasted his reasoning, saying, “Imagine thinking you’re in the right here.”
Even as he’s being scolded, the influencer continues to argue, saying that if her husband had confronted him, he’d “call the police.” This only added fuel to the fire, with Redditors tearing into the streamer’s lack of accountability. Some noted a pattern of poor behavior, with one commenter claiming, “He’s pulled stunts like this before, but now he’s just asking to get banned.”
Concerningly, this influencer has been exposed by other YouTubers for attempting to have sexual relations with minors in the past. A rather fitting report from Memology 101 titled “Ice P3do0seidon” breaks it down here.
Once again, this video serves as a reminder of the shocking lengths some influencers will go to for attention, and where the line should be drawn. In a time when pranks and challenges are meant to entertain, many feel this one went far beyond what’s acceptable, with viewers calling it “the most tone-deaf and reckless move yet.” Particularly so, given Iceposieden’s dodgy track record.
