Here at Trad News we hate blaming the victim, but we also have a concept called "Shit Magnetry."
The phrase was coined by Jim Goad who actually applied the term to himself on account of all the shit that seemed to come his way. Of course Jimbo was trying to imply that he was somehow the "innocent victim" of all the bad things, including paying a young Black boy, apparently, a few bucks to suck him off in a public rest room -- and maybe on some esoteric level we are all playthings of fate, mere victims of DNA, bad upbringing, or some other weird factor, yadda, yadda, yadda...
But, then again, most people find ways to keep themselves out of the shit most of the time, while others -- Tommy Robinson, Baked Alaska, Richard Spencer, Millennial Woes, Jim Goad, etc. -- always seem to be doing pratfalls into it.
Ethan Ralph is undoubtedly now firmly in their ranks after his latest adventure in Portugal where he went and got himself badly mugged.
As Ralph reported on Twitter:
As for what happened, it's a bit blurry. But some guy tried to rob me, I chased him down, & then fought him and his friends by myself. I also kept fighting well past the point that would be considered normal. Don't do this lol.
Yes it was all a "bit blurry." No surprise. He also posted the picture above, which suggests that he clearly lost the fight and any belongings that were in contention.
This comes just days after Ralph picked up a twelve-month suspended sentence for posting revenge porn of his ex-girlfriend, and then boasting that he was just visiting Portugal to piss off Andy Warski who is of Portuguese origin. (Maybe it was Warski's relatives who did this to take him down a few pegs. Yikes!)
But what we see here is how someone living too much on the internet and social media can lose touch with reality and their IRL bearings, and thus become a soft target for criminals and quite possibly falling pianos.
To his credit Ralph fought back against his attackers, but that could just have led to even worse consequences. Better to just avoid the shit in the first place, and if it does happen then maybe not post it all over social media to remind everybody what a doofus, soft-as-shit shit magnet you are.

But Ralph clearly thinks that attention -- any kind of attention -- is good for his petty e-celeb profile. Yes, the shit magnetry looks set to continue.
Looks like someone shit on his face.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like Julian Lee after he was gang-raped in prison, LOL.
ReplyDeleteLisbon is a very dangerous city full of areas that native Portuguese avoid. This might be a first class example of the dangers of uninformed tourism. The Chinese use apps telling them what areas to avoid in cities while travelling as a tourist.
