For normal people it's easier to empathize with someone like Steve Irwin than this idiot

Steve Irwin was also a smiling, cheerful celebrity while this guy is anonymous piece of words, and that really is all the difference.

Steve Irwin wasnt a bad guy, but he wrestled with real wild animals in real wild habitats for basically no reason other than to make good TV, it caught up to him one day and one of the animals killed him, obviously he knew the risks, and it was evidently quite real, seeing as wild animals tend to kill things especially when they arent armed and are actively invading their space.

I think the idea behind the point is the methods that Irwin took were mostly entirely unnecessary, I dont think anyone needs for him to wrestle an alligator or crocodile to be educated about it. If you really need to capture it that badly do it in a way that isnt completely looney, like using a net.

But of course this wouldnt have made him world famous because the whole reason we watched the Crocodile Hunter was for the shock factor.
