To my knowledge, the man in this photo has claimed he was paid by Ruby Rose to pose for this photo and it is an extremely effective marketing scheme. The guy didn’t expect it to go viral and so spoke about it on a podcast.
However, this is only a possible factual correction. It should not take away from the fact that actual examples of people considered “Whales” or “Addicts” do in fact exist.
