The influencer Luis Castilleja, better known as “El Temach”, is entangled in a new controversy after some videos were spread on social networks in which he “baptizes” his followers.
In the videos you can see the influencer giving a message to his fans at an outdoor meeting held in November 2023, where it is estimated that there were more than 100 people, some of whom received a necklace that the content creator placed on them. in the neck.
Some images showed that the necklace has the initials of El Temach, so on social networks they described this action as a “baptism” or an initiation as “alpha males.”
In the speech before followers received their necklace, the influencer said with a megaphone that his fans who didn’t have a girlfriend was because “women don’t deserve them.” Immediately afterwards, the young people applauded and hailed the content creator.
Why do they say on networks that El Temach is creating a sect?
Something that alarmed social media users, in addition to the apparent “baptism”, was that a photograph of a young man with blood on his chest and neck circulated, uploaded from an account called “Mini Temach”, where it reads “with each blow I get stronger.”
This whole situation led to dozens of comments being made on social networks that compared what the influencer did with his followers to a sect.
