I was talking to an animal: Mooro responds to outrage over child molester joke

The clarification comes after severe backlash on social media

Taimoor Salahuddin aka Mooro has responded to the outrage following his 'joke' about being  a child molester. Taking to Instagram, the v-logger, who is known for his wit and humour, explained his side of the story.

In an Instagram video, Mooro shared, "I'm really saddened by the fact that I was misunderstood. However, I'm really happy that many people raised their voice against an issue as grave as child molestation."

"It's a disease and with combined efforts, we can get rid of it. Now, coming towards the topic on which I'm deemed answerable," he added.

"In order to understand something, one should always go for its context. I was talking to an animal. In their world there's no morality, no manners. I was having a conversation with a spider – a creature that comes from a world where issues such as child molestation do not exist."

Mooroo then says, “main spider se usi ki zubaan main baat kar raha tha” and “jaanwar se jaanwar banke baat kar raha tha.” 

He then went on, "In the world of animals, there is no moral compass. I hope it's clear now."

The background

The conversation which was supposed to be taken lightly, caused quite an uproar on social media.

In an earlier Insta story, the social media star engaged in a conversation with a spider present in his room and used the word child molester to make a pun. “If you (spider) crawl in my mouth and reproduce, I will eat your children up. Mein tou hun hi child molester (I am a child molester anyway),” he said in the video.
