A viral “cannibal tribe” video has sparked\u00a0outrage this month leaving the YouTuber who made it to face some serious backlash.<\/p>\n
As reported by\u00a0Dexerto<\/em><\/a>, Dara Tah \u2014 an Irish content creator known for his thrill-seeking videos \u2014 was accused of exploiting a group of indigenous tribesmen in in New Guinea in a\u00a0now-viral TikTok<\/a>\u00a0shared on August 15.<\/p>\n “Deep in the jungle of Papua\u2026” the clip was captioned. “Just tried to make contact with a cannibal tribe.”<\/p>\n The video begins with Tah and his fellow tourists paddling down a riverbank as their boat approaches a group of tribesmen. Tah immediately expresses\u00a0his fear as he sees the tribe members wielding “huge bows.”<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere. Uncover what’s next. Buy. Collect. Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n “Seriously, this is terrifying,” he says in the clip. “I\u2019ve got an offering for them.”<\/p>\n The content creator, who has more than 723,000 followers on TikTok, then turns his attention to the group\u2019s tour guide, Demi, who supposedly “[knew]\u00a0the tribe.” As the crew gets\u00a0closer to the riverbank, Tah pulls out a couple of salt packets he planned to give to the tribe.<\/p>\n “[Demi\u2019s] telling us that this is the way to basically bargain our way\u00a0and try to make them accept us,” Tah continues. “I\u2019ve got salt.”<\/p>\n Tah begins waving the packets at a tribe member, before someone from behind the camera instructs Tah to open the packages and pour the seasoning into his hand. One of the spear-brandishing tribe members then reaches out to receive the salt before giving it a quick taste. However, the man didn\u2019t seem too pleased with the offering, as he immediately spits it out.<\/p>\n “Oh God, he doesn\u2019t look like he likes that,” Tah says. “Alright, guys, let\u2019s move back, maybe. He\u2019s not into that.”<\/p>\n Demi tells the group they have to move quickly because it’s clear they’re “not welcome.”<\/p>\n “I\u2019m not gonna lie, that is absolutely terrifying,” Tah adds as the crew can then be seen beginning to retreat. “Oh my god. Demi, they are scary.”<\/p>\n Although Demi apologized for taking the group\u00a0to the area, Tah indicated he has every intention of returning.<\/p>\n “LOL. Will try again tomorrow,” he wrote in the caption.\u00a0“Wish us luck.”<\/p>\n The TikTok has since received more than 18.3 million views and over 6,000 comments, many of which blasted Tah for the stunt. Many suspected the video was “staged,” some dismissed\u00a0it as reckless, and others slammed it as intrusive and exploitative.<\/p>\n “LEAVE THEM ALONE & THEY ARE NOT CANNIBALS!” one TikTok user wrote.<\/p>\n “Leave those people alone!!” another person commented.\u00a0“Yall want to just corrupt everyone\u2026 go mind your own business.”<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t understand how there are people who risk their lives entering those places,” a third added. “Why bother those people if they don\u2019t bother anyone.”<\/p>\n <\/a> Nasser Baker: Tribes of the Metronome Vinyl<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Dirtybird Store<\/span> Nasser Baker: Tribes of the Metronome Vinyl<\/span> $15<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> HOLY FVCK 1CT<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n uDiscover Music<\/span> HOLY FVCK 1CT<\/span> $17.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> HOLY FVCK 1CD<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n uDiscover Music<\/span> HOLY FVCK 1CD<\/span> $13.98<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Souls of Mischief – Montezuma’s Revenge (2xLP)<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Fat Beats<\/span> Souls of Mischief – Montezuma’s Revenge (2xLP)<\/span> $29.99<\/span> <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> A Sordid Tale of Murder and Cannibalism in Brazil<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Bella Thorne Defends Armie Hammer, Says Cannibal Fetish Claims Are ‘Fake’<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/a> Remote Amazon Tribe’s Access to Elon Musk’s Starlink Internet Causes Division Over Social Media Addiction, Porn Access<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n Beloved Basketball Icon Sister Jean Turns 106, Reveals Her Wellness Secrets<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Father Says Son’s Broken Arm Kept Him Home from Deadly Catholic School Shooting<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\nRelated Products<\/h3>\n
