After the Olympian Judoka turned to bjj following rape prison sentence another highly questionable person has turned to bjj – Harley Durianrider Johnstone.

Harley Durianrider Johnstone’s claim to fame comes from his 200k subscribers heavy youtube channel is largely to thank for the “vegan youtube drama”  in which he encourages people to start biking and occasionaly implies that other fitness personalities use st*roids despite the fact that he experimented with them in 2014 boasting how easy they were to get from the doctor.

Durianrider’s videos often show him conducting elaborate, childlike rescue missions on behalf of local fauna. “I can literally walk up to a jumping spider or a huntsman and tell if it’s dehydrated and then present that spider with a teaspoon of water and make it drink. Same with moths and butterflies,” according to a jezebel article written about him called “A Year of Bananas, Vasectomies and Rape Allegations with The Vegans of Youtube”. 

“Harley is constantly portraying himself as this white knight in the vegan community who is trying to stick up for young women and alert them to sexual predators,” she continued, with a weary expression. “But the irony of this is, in my experience, he has been the most sexually predatory person that I have come across in this community.”

 “I definitely believe it’s a cult. We’re all part of cults, whether we want to be or not,” Durianrider told me. “We’re pack animals.”

“I mean, you can call it a cult,” Freelee replied mildly when I mentioned Durianrider’s comments. “People call it all sorts of things, but usually cults are associated with like, religious movements.” I pointed out that there was a certain evangelical undertone to her videos. And what about all this talk of a movement?

“If that helps them to stay in the lifestyle, if that that helps them feel like they’re part of a community, why not?” him and then romantic partner Freelee said.

Durianrider found himself a responding to an interesting question – one spectator asked how to become a bjj champion. And of course he immediately released a video advising people how to become bjj world champions from the ground up?!

Spoiler: it involves bitcoin, vasectomies, t*stosterone and flavelas (which we assume is his code for favelas)…
