Australian travel influencers arrested in Iran

Iran has detained two travel influencers who were traveling the country and said they were documenting their trip on social media as a way to "break the stigma" around countries with scary reputations.
quote:
King and Firkin were in Iran as part of a long road trip from their home in Cottesloe, Western Australia, to London. The pair quit their jobs to travel the world.
quote:
They had been documenting their voyage on their Instagram and YouTube pages — named "The Way Overland." They have about 20,000 followers on each platform. They have not updated their YouTube channel since June 25 or their Instagram page since June 26.
One of the defining traits of feel-good leftism is a childish belief that humans are inherently good and that “stigmas” and “stereotypes” are all just big misunderstandings.

Recall the couple that went biking adjacent to an active warzone and got killed.
Sometimes it's really hard to feel bad for someone when they go out of their way to put themselves in danger.
Hope they come home without enduring too much torture.

Didn't the exact same thing happen in Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan and the touristers were beheaded?
And didn't this happen in China and the "touristers" were imprisoned?

This shite can’t write itself any better . Well done on perpetuating that stereotype. Stereotypes exist for a reason.

I'd certainly "detain" her. Seems like a fun girl.

Why can;t people understand that there are just some places in the world that you should not go to if you are a white Christian? Iran is one of those. North Korea, Afghanistan, and Detroit are others.

Her boyfriend seems like the kind of douchebag who monopolizes every conversation to talk about their “recent experiences”. The implication is always how much better they are than the rest of us poor saps working our tails off at the office.

Iran isn’t a war zone like Iraq or Syria
Just a crazy untrusting government
If they hadn’t done that, they’d probably not be in jail

For the sake of their families, I hope their release is negotiated soon.
