I think it was rather commenting on the interviewer's inappropriate intrusiveness into an intimate topic rather than kinkshaming. Understandable that Niemann got defensive there, IMO.

It's literally the allegation.

How do you interview without asking about the allegation?

It's the meme allegation, the real allegation is just cheating without any butt stuff.

What's the point of cheating without butt stuff?
