Austria: Turkish YouTube guardian of public morals causes a stir in Vienna

For some he is a celebrated hero, most others feel provoked by his videos. Meanwhile, the Turkish Youtuber Mesut Can Eray is even being investigated. In Vienna, he acted as an Islamic guardian of public morals and insulted passers-by in a sexist way!

Because of their outfits, the Turkish man living in Vienna insulted young women in a sexist way, shared the video with his 1.3 million followers. Users on Twitter reported the “guardian of public morals” to the LPD for a video. The latter replied under a tweet. “Regarding the video showing an incident at Stephansplatz square , rumours going viral about measures taken by the police cannot be confirmed! The investigation is ongoing. Our colleagues will take all legally necessary & possible steps.”

Mesut Can Eray produces videos such as: “My German friend fasted for the first time” or “Asked people what they thought of the headscarf”, or even “How old were you when you lost your virginity”, “What colour are your pants” or “Asked girls when they last had sex”. He often asks these questions to minors as well.

Sometimes this is not always well received, even in the Turkish community. “He plays the guardian of public morals and apparently also finds it funny to humiliate or expose girls because of their clothes or appearance. Some girls, mothers and women from the Turkish community have contacted me and sent me his disgusting videos, so I didn’t want to remain inactive and make a public issue of this, because regardless of origin, everyone is ashamed of him. No one has the right to tell women what to wear or what kind of lifestyle to lead,” Muhammed Yüksek, a councillor in the district of Favoriten, was quoted as saying in the newspaper Kurier.
