Hot Kiwi meets his 14 year old son for the first time
Long story short, he hooked up with a girl when he was 16.
She got pregnant, and when the baby was 4 months old she took him to Australia, and wouldn't let the dad see their kid.
The dad tried to go to court to get parental rights, but because the mother took the baby to Australia and the dad was in New Zealand, I guess nothing could be done.
Fast forward, the dad is now 31 living in Europe, and his 14 year old son reaches out to him on Facebook, after the dad's YouTube channel is recommended to him by some crazy coincidence.
This video shows their reunion.
Plot twist? I may be wrong, but I think the dad is gay.

That's the thing. I don't think the dad is straight.
When he was 16, he was probably just doing what 16 year olds do, which is hook up with girls.
Now that he's 31, it looks to me like he's totally gay.

It’s sad that he hadn’t been able to see his child, but he’s fortunate that the girl didn’t ensnare him or falsely accuse him of anything. Straight guys have to be careful.

If he was trans he would have added a bit of inclusion into the story instead of just a cis male narrative. Trans have an important voice that needs to be heard. Plus visibility is important. It helps stop the fear and literal violence. I don't know how you can be on Datalounge and not know this. You need to free your mind to all the possibilities that exist. We will not allow transerasure on Datalounge. Not on my watch.

I’m with R26. Dad seems like a world-class narcissist. I only got through about six minutes of his boasting of the “empire” he has built, the “dope life” he has created.
Look, I’m happy for them, especially for the son, who seems to be thrilled to have connected with his father.
But I keep asking myself…. what happened all the time Dad was in his twenties? Did he just give up on trying to get custody or visitation or some kind of contact? Yes, I understand that the courts sided with Mom. But if this had been a priority for him (a priority, that is, over being a content creator and making thirst-trap YouTube videos) he could have filed appeals, hired a PI, etc.
Not impressed.

I'm so curious what kind of "empire" he built.
I don't know why, but I automatically assumed that the dad is a flight attendant.
I'd actually put a bet down on it.
And if he IS a flight attendant, then I don't know what kind of empire he can build from that.

Exactly.
Unless you are totally out in high school, chances are that most 16 year old boys will pretend to be into girls.
I had a friend in high school who was totally flaming, but not out.
He even went so far as to "date" the prettiest girl in school, and had lots of sex with her. She felt SO special. Lol.
By the time we graduated, he was showing us all the gay bars in town and teaching us how to give the best blowjobs.
The teen years for gay boys can be very .... confusing.

R56, I haven't posted any images in this thread, but ibb is one of the only image hosts that reliably show well-centered link previews on DL. That's why I use them at least. Imgur is objectively less shady of a website than ibb, but the link previews used to be weirdly cropped when I used it years ago. YouTube also shows good link previews and Twitter does still sometimes, I think. Back before like 2016, I think Instagram used to show previews...the halcyon days of yore. With most other websites, you have to check them before posting, because most direct links to images (ending in .jpg or some other file extension) absolutely do not show link previews.
Anyway, I also got a perpetually loading page when clicking on R53, so maybe ibb is having issues or the address was posted incorrectly. I believe it was working yesterday.

R44 family law in New Zealand is exceptionally harsh on fathers in situations like this. I have a friend who is in the same position at the moment, trying to get custody of his kids off their meth, crack and heroin using mother who is currently shacked up with a neo Nazi white supremacist drug dealer and gang member. He's had to file multiple appeals, get tests and experts etc etc, and if it weren't for his supportive - and rich - parents paying for all of that he'd be getting nowhere with it incredible as that may seem.

R75 Normally I'd agree, but if she left the country with their son and stopped the father having any access to their child, I suspect she didn't want to then start asking him for money.
I think it's terrible when parents split up and one blocks the other parent having access to their child - unless there's a very good reason (eg the father is a criminal) but I can't see there was a good reason here.
I agree he seems like an attention seeker, though. If I were in a similar situation, the last thing I'd do is film it all. Doing a video together a few days after you've met is different, but the lengthy preamble where he boasts about his "empire" repeatedly makes it seem like bragging about his life and impressing the audience feels like the main aim. The son is secondary to that.
There's so much content like that on social media, though. It's a big game of one upmanship. If they were truly successful they wouldn't be wasting time uploading videos about it to social media. You have to read between the lines - eg "building an empire" can often mean something as mundane as "I have several social media accounts that bring in small amount each month via ad revenue". Or "the grind is real, but I put in the effort for the success it brings" means "I work 9 -5 Monday to Friday and then spend a couple of hours at the weekend "working" on my socials". I'm too old for it all, clearly. :)

R81 In his defence he's obviously just wrapped that present to make a video. That said, I agree he's a narcissist.
If the son watches videos like that I hope he's giving a shopping list to his wealthy Dad to make up for all the birthday presents he missed out on while growing up. I know if my Dad had been buying himself expensive Apple products I'd have been asking for similar things.
Though it's possible this guy sent it back for a full refund (after all we didn't see him open the box, the Macbook he was holding at the end could have been an old one he already owned).

Let me tell you, being a "photographer" means you only need a decent camera and you can run your photos thru PS and fix them in literally under 60 seconds. You buy the Photoshop Actions and can turn any photo into a high quality flawless masterpiece in seconds. You use a simple perfectum software and it erases every blemish. I have fixed many photos for friends over the years. It's not a skill, it is simple clicks on a keyboard. Mr Photographer isn't as special as he pretends.

Remember, Blaze first reached out to his father in 2022, via Facebook.
After confirmation that Brad actually IS his father, Blaze had two years to learn about and study his father through social media.
Which means he followed his career as a photographer and as a social media influencer for two years.
And that's how he probably decided that he wanted to follow the same path as a photographer/videographer and as a "model." This kid probably idolizes his father.
That video was just posted this week, so their face-to-face meeting was a culmination of two years following each other through social media.
I'm guessing it took two years to meet, because Blaze is finally old enough to legally meet his dad without his mother's permission.
