I haven't kept up with the Tate stuff. Don't really care about him. Dude seem kinda like a dick. From what I can tell, what he did was probably illegal in Romania, but probably not in the US.

As far as "tricking" girls using the "Romeo" method, look: does a woman have agency or does she not? Can she make her own choices or can she not?

If you lie to an adult and mislead them in order to extra money from them, that's a scam and it's illegal. If you tell a girl you love her, then ask her to star is some porn ... like, the girl can say no. Or cant' she? Why can't she?

People can't have it both ways. Either women have no agency and need to be protected from everything, or they're independent adults who have to deal with the consequences of their own decisions.
