It’s sad, truly, what befell Vice.
The magazine-turned-online-documentary-outlet that Gavin McInnes founded used to do great work, including its infamous documentary on the cannibal warlords of Liberia.
At some point, after McInnes was run out, Social Justice™ ideologues — with corporate backing, of course — infiltrated it, turning it into a total cesspool of trannyism and race hustling.
Then it went bankrupt.
Then it went resorted to begging Daddy Soros for a bailout.

And now one of its “non-binary queer” contributors, named Efrem Zelony-Mindell, is on the hook for highly lewd sex crimes involving — and you’ll never guess this — minors.
[Warning: Some of the quoted excerpts below contained explicit language.]
Via Reduxx (emphasis added):
A “non-binary queer” artist and former VICE contributor has been sentenced to 90 months in federal prison for the possession of child pornography after arranging to sexually abuse a 9-year-old boy. Efrem Zelony-Mindell, 35, was initially arrested in Manhattan, New York, on December 16, 2022.
According to the criminal complaint reviewed by Reduxx, Zelony-Mindell began communicating with an undercover FBI agent in early 2022 after meeting him on Scruff, a hook-up app for homosexual men. During these conversations, Zelony-Mindell slowly began to introduce more extreme topics, and questioned the agent if he was “into taboo.”
Soon after, Zelony-Mindell asked if the agent had a Telegram account, where the two then began corresponding. He expressed an interest in “[young] incest,” and repeatedly stated his desire to sexually abuse children.
Approximately one month later, the undercover agent offered to introduce Zelony-Mindell to another agent posing as a father of a 9-year-old boy offering his son for rape. He immediately affirmed his desire to sexually abuse the child, and arrangements were made for the two to meet after they had spoken both through an encrypted messaging service, text message, and on the phone.
Zelony-Mindell also sent videos and images of child pornography to the undercover agent after admitting his interest in pedophilia. Within the FBI special agent’s complaint, graphic descriptions of the materials Zelony-Mindell sent to the first undercover agent were provided.
Among the media, were “a video depicting an adult male raping an approximately 11-year-old boy by penetrating him anally,” and an image of a toddler boy being forced to perform oral sex on an adult male. There was also an image of “an adult male restraining an approximately 12-year-old boy whose penis and anus were exposed.

The Department of Justice referred to Efrem Zelony-Mindell using "they/them" pronouns in court.https://t.co/v98nmf0vE9
It's unclear, based in the images and videos of this individual available on the web, what exactly makes him “non-binary.” He is fairly obviously a male. The threshold for non-binarydom, apparently, is simply declaring yourself so — an arrangement that, were I transgender and made a concerted effort to actually transition genders, by taking hormones or doing surgeries or whatever else, I imagine would annoy me. In other contexts, Social Justice™ people call this behavior “cultural appropriation,” but apparently the rules don’t apply to self-declared gender minorities.
