A popular group of YouTubers, known as the NELK Boys, recently found themselves in hot water after a controversial video surfaced. In an attempt to connect with an isolated tribe, the boys, along with adventurer Forrest Galante, traveled to a remote Pacific island near Fiji. The video, which was uploaded on Christmas Eve, has already accumulated over 4.8 million views.
However, not everyone was impressed with the NELK Boys' actions. In the video, the group can be seen introducing the tribe to vaping, sharing bourbon and cigarettes with them. This decision sparked a mixed reaction, with some viewers finding it entertaining, while others were outraged.
At first, the NELK Boys were met with hesitation from the tribe, who viewed them as a potential threat. However, after gaining the chief's permission, they were able to spend some time with the tribe, learning about their way of life. In exchange, they shared some of their own habits, such as vaping, with the tribe.
As the boys handed out cigarettes, one of them also offered a puff from his vape pen to a tribe member. They also introduced the tribe to snus, a form of smokeless tobacco, and encouraged them to try it. The NELK Boys even showed the tribe how to blow vape clouds, which seemed to amuse the locals.
Since the video's release, the NELK Boys have faced backlash for their actions. Many viewers accused them of disrupting the tribe's way of life and polluting their authenticity. Some even went as far as calling the scene "sickening" and "trashy". While some argued that the tribe should have the freedom to try new things, others expressed concern about the potential health risks and addiction.
The controversy surrounding this video has caused quite a stir, and the NELK Boys have yet to respond to the backlash. It seems that their attempt to connect with an uncontacted tribe has backfired, and the consequences of their actions are still unfolding. Only time will tell how this situation will be resolved.
