Tickled Isn't About Tickling; It's About the American Way!

What at first appears to be a special interest doc about the mostly online world of people who get off on watching twinks and young men make tickle videos evolves into much more than that.

It's really about a journalist accidentally stumbling onto how the American Way works these days, where unfortunate victims are all under the thumbs of the rich and powerful, and how the deeper your pockets are, the bigger the bully and outlaw you get to be.

I was gripped from beginning to end. I hope David D'Amato gets his one day for causing all the grief and real trouble he's caused to people, and for clearly thieving people's identities.

This guy comes off as your typically petulant, alt-right, Trumpster. I hope he gets his just desserts.

You forgot "creepy pervert".

There's nothing wrong with these videos except for the way this D'Amato guy produces them and then distributes them without permission. Ugh, such a sicko! I too hope he one day gets his just desserts.

Exactly right. So many people get hung up on the weirdness of tickling and think this is an underworld fetish exposure documentary. I see so many people calling D'Amato a "pervert". That's the least of it, and if you're focused on how he's a pervert and not how he's among the ruling class of legally immune elites who have the money to do whatever they want regardless of legality or morality, you're probably a conservative nutter who is busy fighting a distracting culture war while the ruling class you so admire robs you dry.

D'Amato is Trump without all the "very successful" sexual assaults.

I think you hit the nail on the head. And just like the poor, needy, and unsuspecting gave D'amato his power and ammunition, so too, they gave Trump the presidency.
