Summary for anyone that doesn't know the Megos allegations, Megos took a refugee family from Ukraine back in 2022. A member of that family is a then 16 year old girl who Megos has legal guardianship over. It was then announced by Megos that him and that girl were dating earlier this year. There is an industry-wide effort at sweeping this under the rug. Comments under videos with Megos that talk about the situation get deleted, no big names in climbing have mentioned this behavior.
So...a woman who is now 19 years old gradually fell in love with Megos, a handsome and successful dude who shares her passion and dedication to climbing and also happened to shelter her friends and family in a time of crisis and fear? Shocker. Are there allegations from her of any impropriety by Alex, or is this just Neo-Victorian moral authoritarianism? From their social media posts it appears that she's quite happy. This isn't some bizarre Woody Allen situation. How about we leave this pair of adults alone to enjoy their lives? How many of Alex's detractors also opened their house to Ukrainian refugees?
@@R700Sparkles Your comment and a few others under this video clearly have not been deleted lol. Have you ever thought that maybe it's not "industry-wide effort at sweeping this under the rug" but people outside of reddit just don't care and dont want to talk about two adults relationship that seem happy with each other?
Bro please touch grass, you have no idea whether this relationship is founded on a good basis or not. If they both are happy and this person has not implied any coercion then what are you trying to do by highlighting their relationship?
Love your content, but please do consider how this video can look like approval of actions and will affect others. Time and place sort of situation in my opinion. Warmest regards
So will Megos ever answer the questions about his supposed relationship with the teenage Ukrainian refugee he took in and supposedly had legal guardianship for?
@@Jonez5Megos publicly posted his relationship with a Ukrainian climber on instagram. Deleted comments at first and then deactivated comments. She followed suit and erased her bio stating her age.
The fact that people keep not even addressing the allegations at all is very revelatory, but I guess he’s very widely known and people want that sweet collab bag.
Not everyone is hanging out on reddit. Somehow there is basically zero information anywhere except reddit-comments. So get it together and assume that not everyone knows these allegations, true or not
Given that’s those around him in the space haven’t distanced themself I suspect they’re just online rumours. Megos has had a lot of trolls online for a long time.
why does Magnus only feature male climbers on his channel? And why are we talking about an alleged sexual preditor in Alex? can we please give some focus to anyone other then cis-white male climbers????
He often had women on in the earlier years of the channel, before he got together with Marte. The lack of female representation has only really been noticeable for the past couple of years, since Marte stopped being in the videos. He did say he's been trying to get Janja for a long time but she's always too busy
@@boogaloo4640 yeah but Janja isn't the only female climber he can collab with. Jana Švecová has a youtube channel and has done collabs with Josh Rundle, Anna Hazelnutt have a youtube channel too and do quite a lot of collabs, Matilda Söderlund is Swedish so it's close enough to Norway to met her, Erin Mcneice is an Olympian in the UK and he went to see Toby Roberts also in the UK so... why not her too ? etc... Either he don't ask them for a collab or they don't respond but Magnus, whatever he say, is nurturing in a way the boys band and gatekeeping aspect of climbing for almost half of the climbers around and that's a real shame for the biggest followed climbers.

Fun chat thanks!

How did I miss this?? Where did this come out?
@@Jonez5 Reddit is trying to cancel him
@@Jonez5 check the r/climbingcirclejerk, there are some posts with info on there (just gotta comb through the shitposting too).
Did not he date the Ukrainian Olympian girl, even before the war?

I'm pretty sure this podcast is from a year ago
It's about time to cancel Megos. I don't care of the finger strength of a groomer, thanks.

Disgusting human
hahahah what a little gossip girl you are ....
Think he don't cares about you and what do you think. Is there anything more than the deleted shit on reddit?
Last time I watch one of your videos. Very sad to see you offering a platform to Megos
What happened? Just saw your comment and another. Is there an article or place I can read about? With teenage girl?
@@Jonez5 Google.

That would be incredibly inappropriate.

Holy shit you American aren't you
