Yeah in some way I guess it's inevitable some fucked up things like this will be on the Internet but a part of me wouldn't have expected a community as big as this one sounds. Where people are comfortable talking about this scumbag behavior.

    Worth it to note: many sources inaccurately cite "62 million men" taking part in it, but that's not what CNN found or claimed. That number is the total amount of visitors to the Motherless website in February. CNN found on the scale of "over a thousand" men in the group chat they joined, and found ~20,000 videos of it on Motherless with some reaching over 50,000 views. Still horrible, and I doubt that's the only group, but it isn't 62 million at least.
