About

Goatis, also known as Sv3rige, is a Latvian nutritional influencer and YouTuber, best known for promoting a raw meat diet. Born Gatis Lagzdiņš, the YouTuber began his internet career in the mid-2000s as a RuneScape PKing (player killing) enthusiast under the name "kids ranqe," before becoming a conspiracy theorist who promotes pseudoscientific fads like sungazing and eating raw meat by 2016. Gatis Lagzdins's hardline attitude toward the raw meat diet extended beyond his online platform, with the YouTuber staging several controversial protests in the U.K. in 2019, where he ate a raw pig's head and, on another occasion, a raw squirrel. In May 2022, Gatis was accused of orchestrating a brutal acid attack on his ex-girlfriend Diana (known online as Luna) and her son with the help of his girlfriend and fellow nutritional influencer Mary Marina Eichel (also known as Primal Belle). Both Mary and Gatis are presently on the run internationally. In May 2025, Gatis began posting on TikTok under the handle @sv3rigeofficial.
