The New Fire Island

I don’t think it’s a scam.

But of course they use a guy who looks like that.

Is there a review board that lets you in or out depending on how stereotypically Fire Island you look?

Maybe sorta like him?

Fyre Island Fest?

They don't even know yet WHERE it's going to be located, other than "the Mediterranean ????"

In theory it sounds great. But I have serious doubts it will ever come to fruition.

The guy in the pic in the OP is fucking hot. I'd move there if I could have one of him assigned to my bungalow. As my personal servant and sex toy.

They can start with a new name. New Fire Island is tragically ersatz.

Scamtastic! My elder mom wants in—she’s got cash to burn.

Nouvelle île de feu

Scroll down to the almost end to see the kind of guys who'll actually be populating this 'island'.

So one of the guys leading this also led Peter Thiel's lawsuit against Gawker and is also trying to launch an Olympic Games knock-off that doesn't have drug testing. Libertarian much?

Aron D'Souza is corrupt as hell. Facing lawsuits in his native Australia

I can tell you right now what will happen: they will amass five to ten million dollars from sincere investors who like the idea, and then, oh my gosh, the project just never got off the ground, the money will have disappeared, and no one will be refunded a cent.

Hurry and buy into a great way to lose your retirement money!!!

Will fat people be allowed?

Will The New Christy Minstrels be artists in residence?

"Join the Waitlist" is an immediate turn-off.

R13, there's a "No fats, no fems" clause

That logo looks like a prolapse.

You’re right R17.

We’re suing!!!

The entire Gay Ghetto concept thing is a dying (or dead) thing. Gay couples are as likely to book into any given resort area nowadays as either management doesn't give a shit, or are actually advertising to attract same-sex couples because they are known to spend money.

That Aron D'Souza sounds like a sociopath.

This is a scam - how do you try and sell something with no location or business plan?

and remember - "no fats/fems/or..."

It they have a plan! It’s going to be affordable to millennials who are priced out of the real estate market - just 500k plus airfare each way, every time.

From the website:

[Quote] Are you a gay influencer, blogger or content creator? We’d love to get you involved in promoting New Fire Island. You can jump ahead of the waiting list and earn credit towards purchasing a house, just for sharing the dream with your followers. Get in touch with nigel@newfireisland.com and we’ll share more information.

It looks like OP is jumping the waitlist queue and earning some credit by sharing with us here at DL.

another pipe-dream that won't make it past the debt for creating the website

R2- He looks like a HARDCORE scene qween- some people drool over that.

R23, I'm not a blogger or content creator. I wish I had that much influence. I just saw a thing about it on twitter and thought DL would have fun roasting it

R23 then they’re in for quite a shock when they ask DL for deposit checks!

“Mom?—can I borrow a hundred grand?”

I was just having some fun at your expense OP. I don’t think promoting to this crowd will result in much business.

Scam

The New Fire Island will be a preferred port of call on that three year cruise with no ship!

What scam. The whole thing is beyond ridiculous.

For starters, where could they ever find the land to do something like this?

This has scam written all over it. Plus, it will never get past the DEIA review. ONLY gay men?? Ha! Good luck with that.

They chose the blond hunk to be the face of their advertising for a very obvious reason.

D'Souza sounds really shady.

R15 so is USA dominated! Who the fuck would want to go to an international destination that’s USA dominated? Only Americans.

Talk about bend over...

I think you misread the ad copy^. That’s not what they are proposing, it’s what they allege they are getting away from🫣

2/3 of the team is a Venture Capitalist and a Real Estate entrepreneur? Oh yeah, it's going to be real affordable....which is what they are trying to sell the idea on.🙄

No Fats, No Fems, No LOCATION.

Sign up now, before all the spots are gone! We need to harvest your email to convince naive inverters there is actually interest in this mythical location yet to be determined.

He's hot, too bad he had to get involved with this crap

Bitches stole my idea! Hype, Hype, Hype sell the sizzle, book now! Selling out fast! Beautiful tropical island, gourmet food! Here's your cheese sandwich.

That’s not a very high-end list of closed sales.🧐

Not even an island picked yet. 🙄

They’re gonna get raped by pirates. On the plus side, they might get to have sex. Nonconsensually. With pirates.

Meh, give me a newer manufactured home on a late front lot , All you need is internet access and a hottub they will come

I don't even like the old Fire Island.

If you build it, they will cum!

I’m not sure I understand the need anyway. Europe has already a multitude of gay beach destinations where to retire in the sun. Barcelona/Sitges for the gym queens. Ibiza for the wealthy. Gran Canaria for the Germans and cheap eldergays. Mykonos for the fashionable. Etc. These 3 queens have clearly no clue what they’re talking about. Also, “no more than half a day door to door from London”? That’s absurd as you can easily spend 3 hrs travelling to and wait at LHR, and your half day is already gone. I agree, it’s a scam.

I received this email 3 weeks ago on my throw-away email address, I delete it, thought it was a joke.

They are doing this to harvest emails. Once they get enough ME TOO emails, they will use that as proof their idea is worth investing in. Then as R12 said above, the project will slowly evaporate. Of course THEY will be paid for their time, by the hour at CEO rates which will leave nothing to return.

80's version of a time share grift. Anyone interested in buying a time share in up and coming Laughlin? Las Vegas on the River! Buy now before it's too late.😂

The guys in the ad is AI, right?

That's so weird... With all the beach erosion reported there in the last two weeks, I was literally thinking about the idea of whether and when there would ever be a next kind of place like Fire Island Pines. I have owned a house on the Pines for many years. I am about 400 feet inland from the ocean and my house is elevated so I think I am safe, but the beachfront homes are in serious jeopardy... even with the herculean efforts the Army Corps of Engineers have made in the last decade... It's really crazy... If you haven't been there, it's a really special place, away from the world and a world unto its own. The homes are beautiful.. Where else do you have a beach front community with such large lots and privacy? No cars, everyone can walk to the ocean... But in today's day and age, there's no need for a secret hidden world for the gays... resorts, yes, but homes together in a community? I just don't see a need for it nowadays, as much as I do love it... Anyway, time will tell...

No r50 those guys are not hot enough to be AI. They are called paid actors.

The logo looks like a vagina

I meant the guy in the initial image ("guys" was a typo).

[quote]The logo looks like a vagina

Honestly?

Nan should start a lesbian island

Lord, I'd send money not to have to go there. Euronasty.

This is going to end up like some version of Gilligans Island.

Lesbos!

The most hilarious part of that entire video was near the end when the girls were trying desperately to throw the footbal.

it was like watching a MadTV sketch about guys trying to be straight at a gay conversion camp.

Nothing says scam like using a stock picture in your ads.

You are so right, R60. Jesus. I've got zero athletic ability and I can throw a football better than that. I can't believe they even let that farce stay in the video!

^^^Did it mention that was apparently AI generated?

How would this be any better than Sitges?

I laughed at the football, too

Why are they throwing around an American football, anyway? Does American football have an exotic macho appeal in the rest of the world? Or do they think its appearance in the video will capture an American gay audience?

I can throw a football! Maybe I can be the spokesman for The New Fire Island! As long as they ban vaccines

I went to Oxford University too, then I went back to my hotel.

AI tricks me again. I really thought it was just a handsome model. Looking closkry though, now I think someone just Chat-GPT’d “make a BETTER Chris Pines and give him big pecs. Oh and make him shirtless and put him on a beach”.

There's a lot of cheap real estate around Italy and Sicily because all the young people have left. They could start there. And since they're only looking for roughly one square kilometer...it seems it shouldn't be too difficult. And 2/3 of the group are quite attractive. I bet Aron has great legs.

Do people with some degree from Oxford really put "(Oxon.)" next to it?

On another website he's Dr. Aron PING D'Souza, lawyer for Peter Thiel against Gawker. IWO, human scum.

We've made progress, DL! 73 posts in and no one has mentioned STDs nor called this a recipe for a new AIDs.

R70, trust me, his legs are great! I've had my face buried between them

Speaking of STDs - This has La Gobbler written all over it! Why hasn't she wangled her way into this all star sales team yet? They could even use her precious pink hole to sell it

Gobbler will be the queen of New Fire Island

The first residents will be complaining within a year of backed up sewage, rude gay locals, leaky roofs and overpriced escorts.

This place smells like AIDS, Charlie perfume, and abandonment issues….

Karen was witty though

This will end with inverters in tears.......if they can even find any.

Hey douche bro queens with your New Fire Island idea, just exactly how much money are YOU putting up to get this off the ground? Oh, right nothing. Put up or shut up. Transparency is the best disinfectant. What you are selling sounds like a grift to me.

Yeah, there's something in step with the times; a gay ghetto!

They should hire a bunch of hot escorts to reside there...that will lure the rich eldergays

To R82, I thought they were going to have to do that anyway; you always want the really wealthy gays

That defeats the purpose. Their whole premise is that Fire Island and other gay enclaves are too expensive from middle class gays.

If they are really serious about it beyond some money grab, which I doubt, I dont see how they could create a lower cost gay area than Palm Springs. That's why all the gay men moved there in the first place, cheap whores.

Or my on demand butler and blow buddy

[quote] Will fat people be allowed?

No, unless you agree to sign and abide by and fully comply with the pre-arrival ozempic protocol.

[quote] They should hire a bunch of hot escorts to reside there...that will lure the rich eldergays

Hire the Cockgobbler as your Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Hotness, he’ll bring in the ‘boys’. The rest will follow.

Done!

you can take public transport from the city centre to fire island and many do. who wants to fly everyweekend to go to a beach. moreover nobody goes to the caribbean in summer and their are already hay resorts for winter

typos galore my shame

why not choose a coastline well above sea level but acceptable beaches and warmish water? Maybe a large lake would be best. Build a new beach if necessary

Whoever that guy is in OP's link is VERY handsome.

He’s my neighbor’s son, Joel. Such a sweet boy.

R92, it's an AI generated hunk

Aron D'Souza is running another scam, with the help of Peter Thiel

They might have more success building a large Senior Living Community for gay men only with various levels of progressive care, from active living to hospice.

[quote]Build a new beach if necessary

Only God can build a beach and he ain't gonna build another one just sos you guys can run around in your Speedos til ya find a bush or a san dune.

and meth smoke.

R71:

In postnominals, “University of Oxford” is normally abbreviated “Oxon.”, which is short for (Academia) Oxoniensis: e.g., MA (Oxon.), although within the university itself the abbreviation “Oxf” can be used.
