Why does the gay community continue to support influencers who gaybait?
I have followed an influencer from Australia called Nathan Mccallum (@nathan) for many years. That was until I realised what a narcissistic and manipulative platform he has created for himself and this has been exacerbated since he’s had a child with his wife.
His following is majority gay males and he posts frequent thirst traps with and without his little baby. He advertises his tiny swim underpants to his followers by standing under a shower with his bulge on full display. He barely posts his wife. He’s constantly complaining about his lack of engagement and blaming it on the algorithm. Why are we supporting people like this who are happy to profit off our lifestyle yet show no support to our community public-ally?
I saw him recently do an interview saying some nonsense about how he is privileged to have a platform and uses it to speak up for minorities however I have not seen him post ANYTHING in support of the LGBTQI community, never seen him donate to a charity. He poses in his underwear with other male influencers and is clearly closeted but i just think it’s messed up that gays pay for his lifestyle yet if a followed makes a suggestive comment on his thirst traps or asks if he’s gay….. he snaps and gets super offended. He just seems like such a narcissist and i wish people would see through people like this. He has been caught lying about his height and it super reactive and mean to followers on occasion that point out the obvious.
I also saw that his sister had bowel cancer…..he didn’t even post anything to support her or her go fund me??? Is that not the most narcissistic behaviour you’ve ever seen.
