James Charles behavior towards straight men is the equivalent of out of touch men who believe that all a lesbian needs is a good f**king from a guy with a big dick to 'straighten' her out. It is definitely predatory, it dismisses the validity of someone's orientation and their feelings. It's sad in a way that he is learning such a hard lesson so publicly and with such devastating effects, but he brought this upon himself, as the old saying goes "Don't bite the hand that feeds you." He did exactly that when he took that brand deal that directly competed with Tati's, this is now where James is going to hit rock bottom, hopefully he bounces back a better person.
