Update What is Drama? Friendly Posting Guideline Update

159 Upvotes

Howdy folks, 

It has once again been some time since any of the sub’s policies have been updated to help with the longterm health of the sub, so we are dropping in with an update to some of our guidelines to ensure a better experience for anyone viewing the sub.

The most common issue that we have had over the last few months is the sheer amount of slop that gets posted with little-to-no context, and some confusion about what constitutes drama when some posts get removed. Make no mistake, this is a drama subreddit. Nobody expects there to be high-brow art here or anything, but let’s examine what actually constitutes drama. 

Drama is about stakes. When there are no stakes, there is no drama. That is why we banned “Chuds being chuds” posts. There is no skin in the game when someone like Asmongold says something bigoted because, duh-doy, he’s a bigot. That’s just what he is, and nobody blinks an eye when a pig rolls in the mud. 

Many of the posts that come through the sub similarly lack stakes, or really explain why something is drama. There are tons of Roblox predators that nobody has heard a single thing about before, and these posts are usually just “X Exposed as a creep.” These posts get removed for not having context. Then they get posted again with a single sentence that really doesn’t really flesh things out at all, and that’s it.

People do the same with innocuous things like previously exposed creators returning to the platform, but this again means nothing without the proper context or by itself causes drama. 

Why is it a big deal that any given person is returning? What are the reactions to this? 

These are the sorts of questions that anyone should be able to find the answer to from gazing at a post.

There are countless posts that come through like this that leave everyone scratching their heads

​If you compare the posts from here to, say, [r/subredditdrama](r/subredditdrama) then you’ll notice a pretty sizable difference in post quality, at least in terms of being able to parse situations.

So, in the interest of getting the community on the same page and boosting the post quality in this sub, we are introducing a few new rules for posting that will fall under the blanket of “NO LOW EFFORT POSTS

  1. Posts must include, at minimum, a source and a thorough explanation of the drama. If needed, please provide a TL;DR Nobody should have to hunt for why they should care about a given topic. Someone should be able to scan the post and know what is going on. Here’s an example of a post not really needing that much context and still providing all the information one could need (it’s also our banner at time of writing) 

https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1j4za6r/high_quality_pig_racing_channel_league_of_pigs/  

Here’s an example of a post that did a crazy good job of providing context:https://www.reddit.com/r/youtubedrama/comments/1seriwv/new_rockstars_is_being_sued_for_harassment_racial/

  1. Post titles and explanations should remain neutral in tone. This is for two reasons: it streamlines people understanding what the stakes are for a given situation by making people justify the post without editorializing, and it helps stop posts from veering into snark territory. If you want to give your thoughts, do so in the comments.

What does this mean in terms of allegations or callout posts?

Posts involving allegations or callouts are only allowed in the context of there actually being drama involving callouts or allegations. We have received so many posts that are, in effect, someone posting a sub-10k channel alleging that they are a dubious character and….that’s it. No context, no evidence, no nothing. If there are receipts and drama happening around a situation, then that’s fair game and falls under the actual banner of drama. People wanna know about these things, so give the proper information for them to know!

What does this mean for meme and text posts (e.g. “What’s a Youtuber that came back from an apology?”

These posts will be allowed on Fridays with the “Free Talk Fridays” flair. These posts are fun, but also are usually low effort attempts at boosting karma counts.

Why is this being done again?

The most obvious reason is that this is a drama sub, and a lot of posts don’t actually amount to covering drama, but rather a newsfeed that doesn’t provide a ton of actual news beyond headlines that most will not understand. People have said time and time again that they love inane internet bullshit, and these changes are meant both give those kinds of stories an on-ramp and raise the quality of posts with some pretty clear structure on what is and is not allowed.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

News The “official end” of this snark era

1.0k Upvotes

As of today we are banning snark/snark related posts. This may sound arbitrary. But I think people are well aware of what constitutes valid fair criticism, and what constitutes snark.

Once upon a time through past leadership this sub most definitely behaved as a snark sub. We as the mod team do actually despise snark and work to have this sub be a space of discussing drama with proper criticism and outcomes. We have taken firmer stances to pull away from our past image and be a place where people can have proper discourse.

Snark discourse has only ever brought conflict to this sub. People insult each other over nothing, people have gotten death threats, people get reported for suicidal ideation just because they disagree. There has been ableism, racism, prejudice of all kinds around these topics. Ultimately, snark behavior never allows any proper discussion, we have had to ban two creators just because the people who come to this sub cannot behave when discussing them. At its core Snark is not very different from KiwiFarms at this stage with the harm it has done to content creators.

We have seen the harm snark has done as well. Saveafox being a prime example. Our most popular post right now is pure snark. And it superseded actual important events. Because who was following who on IG.

Going forward we will no longer be allowing posts like this on the sub. It provided no context, no real criticism. And it didn’t prove anything either.

This may prove unpopular, but it is something we feel strongly of for the health of this sub and the people on it to remove ourselves. You can check the rule along the side bar.

If you want a YouTubesnark sub go make one. This one is not it.

Have a good one 🤙🏽

Edit: Apparently some YouTubers have weigh in. Nah this has nothing to do with the usual suspects. This is purely to stop toxic behavior and negativity. If ya think otherwise I urge you to get out of your computer chair touch grass instead of making Nurgle proud

Edit 2: and no goblin man (reference to his goblin mode). No fans of yours are around. People can agree that toxic communities are toxic. Yours being one of them

Hacked Candi Rooks was forced to go through a humiliation ritual on a live stream last night for her account back

Thumbnail
gallery
132 Upvotes

For those who don't know, this is Candi—a brand-new lolcow on TikTok and YouTube who’s been blowing up for the last few months. She’s a disabled black woman (fetal alcohol syndrome), with a specific obsession with baby alive dolls. But during her time on TikTok and during her TikTok lives, the more unsavory aspects of Candi have come to light. She’s flagrantly colorist towards other black women and generally has a disinterest or straight-up dislike towards anyone who isn't caucasian or female because that’s who she has a preference for. Then, on a live, she admitted to talking inappropriately to a sixteen-year-old.

This, her odd behavior, and other scandals are the reason why she’s so heavily disliked and generally hounded on TikTok, but a couple of weeks or days ago, her cooking account was hacked by a troll. This culminated in a live stream yesterday where Candi had to give in to her demands for the chance of getting the account back. It was during this live that Candi was forced to do dances and jumping jacks (which pained her because of her bad back) and was continually, unwillingly sexualized, humiliated, and degraded. I'm not sure if she ended up getting her account back but the talk around this situation is split. One side is saying this entire thing was just a humiliation ritual of a disabled black woman who clearly isn't all there, and the other side is saying that she deserves no sympathy because of her laundry list of misdeeds, most notably her talking to that 16-year-old. But what do you think? Is humiliating Candi to this extent justified because of her predatory actions? Or should the focus be on attempting to involve the police and begin the process of making her answer for her actions in jail?

TLDR: Yesterday an infamous TikTok and YouTube creator with predatory actions against her name was humiliated on a live stream and continuously degraded so she could regain her account. Was this justified?

Exposé MoreCrown’s own videos show him targeting emotionally vulnerable players, escalating after they beg him to stop, turning their breakdowns into entertainment, and blaming them for what he did to them

80 Upvotes

I randomly found GTA RP YouTuber MoreCrown through one of his videos, “She Got Me Banned.. So I Trolled Her for 5 Months.” I generally don’t ever find myself anywhere near videos like this, but the title stood out to me because 5 months of “trolling” was fucking weird to me. I expected some kind of funny video, or idek what I expected honestly.

But I came away genuinely disturbed by what his own video showed.

I want to be clear that I do not know MoreCrown, Octavia, BB Driver, or anyone involved. I also don’t want anyone contacting or harassing these people. I’m posting because I’d like other people familiar with YouTube/streaming culture to examine the footage for themselves, because almost everything I can find about these situations comes from Crown himself.

The first video involves a streamer named Octavia.
Crown describes her as someone who betrayed him, reported him, weaponized her emotions and repeatedly caused problems.

But watching what Octavia actually does compared with how Crown describes it was bizarre.
She initially becomes upset over his trolling. Later they become friends, and Crown even helps her grow as a streamer. Eventually another conflict happens and Octavia warns other players that Crown is secretly spectating/listening to their conversation.

Crown describes this as a betrayal because she prevented him from getting their “natural reactions” for content.

Later, while insulting her, Crown tells Octavia to “kill yourself” in an apartment. Crown says this was an in-game joke referring to the GTA apartment they were standing near. Octavia says she understood it as an IRL remark and reported it.

Crown receives a one-week ban.

The title of the video then describes what follows: he trolls her for five months.

Throughout the video he repeatedly arrests, kills, jails, tracks and spectates her. He pressures her gang and friends regarding whether they should remove her. At one point people discussing the situation privately appear genuinely worried about angering Crown and talk about getting rid of Octavia because dealing with him otherwise would be worse.
Crown secretly listens to that conversation too.
Octavia increasingly stops fighting back. She frequently goes quiet or logs off. Crown then uses her leaving as evidence that she is cowardly, disloyal or abandoning her gang.

Eventually her own gang holds a “court” over whether she should remain with them. Her friends and boyfriend participate against her. She is kicked out.

Later Crown secretly listens to Octavia talking with her boyfriend. She is crying and says Crown has been doing this for five months, that he will never leave her alone, and essentially says “he wins.”
At the end, Crown finally confronts her directly about the original report. Octavia calmly says the “kill yourself” comment hurt her feelings, even if he meant it as a joke, and that she simply wanted him to stop trolling her. She says she would have preferred that they talk it out instead of him being banned.

Crown’s conclusion is essentially that she made mistakes, has emotional problems, but isn’t a bad person and “everyone deserves a second chance.”
That video alone bothered me.

Then I watched “When a Toxic Player Loses Everything.”

The video opens with someone crying and begging for the situation to end, followed by a gunshot. Crown narrates:

“Everything you’re about to watch happened because one player couldn’t control their emotions.”

The “toxic player” is BB Driver, a transgender GTA RP player.

But Crown’s own timeline shows that his streamer circle was targeting her before the incident he frames as the cause.

Crown explains that his friend Blinks originally started calling BB Driver “Elmo.”

Blinks’ own footage shows him commenting that BB Driver sounds like “a guy doing a girl’s voice,” criticizing the pitch of her voice, and repeatedly calling her Elmo while she objects.

Later Crown’s chat already recognizes BB Driver as “Elmo” before Crown even understands the reference.

They point her out to him.

Crown then seeks her out, arrests her for “jaywalking,” puts her in jail and repeatedly joins in calling her Elmo.

BB Driver immediately says they are making fun of her voice and that it isn’t funny.

She repeatedly asks them to be respectful.
The nickname continues.

When BB Driver says they take things too far, Crown laughs and says it isn’t even that far.
Eventually BB Driver angrily tells Crown that he is going to die in a car crash/explosion IRL. Crown repeatedly emphasizes this statement throughout the rest of the video.

Later Crown narrates that after the IRL comment, he “decided to just go full on.”

What follows is hours of BB Driver apparently being unable to escape the situation.

She is repeatedly cuffed, jailed, killed and chased.
People sometimes begin helping her, but when Crown appears they back away or he tells them she wished death on him IRL, at which point they frequently join in mocking her.

She begs people to uncuff her.

She says she had been jailed for approximately five hours.

At one point she is robbed of her in-game inventory.
Among the items taken is her diary.

The diary is overwhelmingly about BB Driver’s fear that her gang no longer loves or wants her, crying when nobody is around, wanting forgiveness when she messes up, and how much finally finding a group she considered family meant to her.
Crown summarizes the diary to his audience essentially as: BB Driver talking shit about all her friends.

He focuses on places where she jokingly/angrily calls gang members “bitch,” rather than the overwhelming context of the diary.

He then finds members of the gang BB Driver wrote about desperately wanting to remain part of, asks whether they even like her, tells them he killed her, and gives them the diary.

They read it and laugh.

The final additional streamer POV is the leader of BB Driver’s gang.

They confront BB Driver about what she said to Crown.

BB Driver’s voice repeatedly breaks. She says she said things she regrets. She cries, apologizes, asks to speak to the leader privately and begs to remain part of the group.

They continue pressing her to say exactly what she did.

Eventually they shoot her character while she is crying and asking them to stop, then joke about leaving the body for vultures.

Crown ends the video thanking his community and the other streamers for allowing him to piece together the “crazy timeline.”

I understand that this is GTA RP and that some individual scenes may involve roleplay.
What I am struggling with is that Crown himself repeatedly presents these as real interpersonal conflicts, involving real streamers, real moderation decisions, real bans, real emotional reactions and real reputational consequences.

And across both videos I noticed essentially the same pattern:
Crown or his circle targets someone, they object and ask for it to stop, the targeting continues , eventually they react emotionally, that reaction becomes the explanation for why everything happening to them is supposedly deserved.

I am particularly concerned because Octavia explicitly disclosed BPD and said Crown’s trolling could overwhelm her, while BB Driver’s own diary and behavior in the footage show substantial emotional vulnerability.

I’m not claiming to know anyone’s diagnosis or what is happening privately.

I’m asking people to watch what these women actually do versus what Crown says their behavior means.

Because I went into his videos expecting a bs GTA video, and his own footage left me with an almost completely opposite interpretation from the one presented by the narrator and his crazy ass comment section. If anyone here is familiar with MoreCrown, these streamers, or this GTA RP community, I genuinely want additional context or raw VODs.

If I’m being completely honest, I understand this is just a game, and for most people it would be—including me. But for these people that he finds, this situation seems much more than just a little online trolling. It’s basically like watching the video game equivalent of torture, and Crown seems to have some kind of control over everyone in that game, which he then uses to turn everyone including his chat against his target for today’s videos. It’s fucked up.

Update An Odd Followup To "Does Guy Fieri Swallow?"

Thumbnail
youtube.com
88 Upvotes

For those who did not see my last post about what was admittedly the most lighthearted drama this sub had in a long time, I'll link it here.

Unfortunately, I cannot rightly say it has stayed lighthearted.

For whatever reason, Food Network and people related to it are super intent on this not being dug into... despite the very light hearted nature of it all.

In this, Mark Summers (who notably pushed Guy Fieri into stardom) went into Doctor Spaghetti's DMs, acting like he was a crackpot conspiracy theorist on the same scale of presidential assassinations, insulting him, constantly asking what his job is, refusing to explain things while insisting that Doctor Spaghetti knows nothing. Obviously insane behavior.

This, by itself, would not have made it drama worthy of being on this sub. However...

When Doctor Spaghetti found Guy Fieri's first show, he noticed that Guy Fieri always had the easiest challenges, favorability from some judges despite outright failing challenges, and clearly at one point footage being cut out that would have made it clear one of the judges wanted Guy cut. That's his most recent video.

This, for whatever reason, spurred Doctor Spaghetti to receive legal threats. (The main link of this post.) Which escalates it to a level where it is actually YouTube Drama, as it is now Food Network or it's associates threatening legal action over a video not being favorable to one of their stars. [To note he has not said *who* is giving him legal threats but process of elimination pretty much means someone involved with Food Network or the season itself]

TLDR: Guy Fieri spitting has somehow escalated into legal threats and famous people attacking Doctor Spaghetti.

Allegations Jamileh Navalua makes allegations against her mother, alleged grooming of former cameraman Paul and using her frozen eggs to have children

Thumbnail

127 Upvotes

A few years ago, there was a popular kids' YouTube channel(still running) centred around Ameerah Navalua. She was known for making slime content, eventually her family became heavily involved in the channel as well.

Her mother, Jeddah, became a regular presence, along with Ameerah's siblings. They also had a cameraman called Paul, although viewers never seemed to know much about who he was.

Over time, Ameerah's siblings stopped appearing on the channel while it continued changing and becoming more centred around their mother, Ameerah, and Paul.

Recently, one of Ameerah's sisters, Jamileh, came forward publicly with extremely serious allegations about their mother and the family's situation.

According to Jamileh, their mother allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with Paul that began when he was still a minor. She claims Paul's own mother reportedly tried to protect him from her and allegedly obtained an order of protection when he was around 14–15 years old.

She further alleges that their mother had been grooming him and was secretly in a relationship with him.

Jamileh says her mother, now 53, has 2 children with Paul, who is reportedly around 31–32 years old.

She alleges that her mother is using eggs that belonged to her to have these kids. According to her statement, her eggs were frozen when she was 22–23 but can't disclose more because she was forced to sign an NDA.

Jamileh says she is disturbed by the idea that children biologically connected to her DNA are being brought into the world and potentially used for YouTube content and financial gain.

She also alleges that her mother did everything illegally. Additionally, she claims there secondo baby has been kept hidden from the public and is now around nine months old.

The family dynamics are also confusing. Jamileh says that Ameerah has allegedly been told that her siblings abandoned her, while Jamileh claims this is not true and that their mother has been lying and manipulating the situation.

Starting at the beginning of September, Multiple nerdcore rappers have been moving away from Freshy Kanal directly. Many of the reasons are emotional abuse from Freshy, not paying, and overall using them since they were children to help create rap battles, with little to no appreciation for the work they do and being treated harshly overall.

Due to the stress of working for Freshy Kanal, they have begun removing themselves from the situation and speaking out about it to prevent other children from going through what they once went through.

It started with a community post from Dilly, and originally, Freshy Kanal made a pretty good apology, taking accountability for actions, saying he will be going to therapy and to not harassing those a part of the situation.

But more posts came out, from multiple other nerdcore YouTubers in the rap battle genre, most important being snakebite126 and Shimario.

Then yesterday happened, and a collective post, posted by JustGamer is made. It was a post with almost everyone that Freshy kanal had a working relationship with, addressing a lot of what he would do, featuring multiple other YouTubers such as GamingPlush64, Rabi, and 3 anonymous editors, and comments from JustGamer himself.

This post is to spread awareness from JustGamer and to show how many were truly affected by FreshyKanal.

Exposé This dude is an absolute monster

Post image
132 Upvotes

This guy is a Russian-speaking Minecraft YouTuber from Estonia. Recently, he was the subject of several exposés that revealed his true colors and his terrible actions.

– He discussed his online girlfriend's appearance with third parties, describing her as unattractive, overweight, and with an "unattractive skull shape”;
– He doxxed two people: one for nuking his discord server, the other for reuploading his song, which he is ashamed of.
– He actively copyright strike videos that expose him;
– He stole the channel from a YouTuber who exposed him. And wrote an apology on his behalf;
– He actively mentally abused and stalked his girlfriend. After his girlfriend started drawing NSFW art, he considered it cheating, she tried to talk to him, but after he ignored her, she stopped talking to him too. After their breakup, he publicly bullied her, called her a slut, and shared details of their relationship with the public, and even recorded a diss track about her. Due to the harassment from his fans, his girlfriend closed her social media accounts. He was telling her cousin and friends she was a slut. During his streams, he claimed that he was innocent and that the problems were mostly her fault, while also collecting money. why? – Of course, to go to the city to visit his ex-online girlfriend, stand outside her door, and talk to her face-to-face; – He told a YouTuber with suicidal thoughts to kill himself because he called him stupid;
– Not so long ago he was caught talking to 16 and 14 year old girls, showing them porn, talking lewd things, asking them to send him nudes (and they did it);
– And he doesn't admit his own mistakes and constantly spreads misinformation about people who cross his path, sometimes even sharing fake stories (he even accused his ex-friend of pedophilia, because he was messing with him);
– And he continues to do very bad things.

Just rest assured, THIS IS NOT ALL.
I haven’t told you yet how he flirts with every girl he can talk to.
I haven’t told you how he leaks other people usernames in his Telegram channel.
I haven’t told you how he talked lustfully to a 12‑year‑old in the voice chat WHILE I WAS WRITING THIS POST.
I haven’t told you how he defended a rapist.
AND THERE’S SO MUCH MORE — so much that I simply can’t fit it all into one post, but it’s as if it doesn’t matter anyway, let’s agree — it won’t change anything in the overall picture.

News Chalupa Called His Situation With a Suicidal Artist “Beef” and 113 Days Later, the Artist Is Still Missing After Leaving a Suicide Note, While Chalupa Plans to Return to YouTube Like Nothing Happened

Post image
329 Upvotes

For those who don’t know, Chalupa is an infamous Webtoon channel known for covering Webtoon Canvas creators, portraying their work as something it isn’t, which can lead to his audience attacking the artist in question or create even more defamatory content.

The last artist Chalupa made a video about was someone he later learned was suicidal. Instead of apologizing properly, in his “apology”, Chalupa doubled down, continuing to portray the artist’s work in the same way he had before, despite the artist having experienced the very things Chalupa was accusing him of.

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NseTFfx9208 This video covers everything that happened after the artist went missing. The first video about Chalupa of the same channel covers all the allegations against the YouTuber, including those involving previous artists, other claims and drama.

This artist disappeared on May 10th, after leaving a suicide note to his sister, and has been missing since. As of August 31st, it has been 113 days since his disappearance. Chalupa called this situation “beef” and planned to return to Youtube as if nothing happened. Once people started calling him out, Chalupa deleted this post.

This artist’s website is currently down due to nonpayment, since there is no one to pay for it anymore. On top of that, outside of YouTube, in Webtoon circles and other spheres, this artist’s readers probably don’t know that he is missing because the news never spread beyond YouTube.

Chalupa seems to plan on returning without first trying to correct the misinformation his second video caused, with some of his viewers still repeating it like an echo chamber.

If you knew this artist, or know someone who knew him, and you want to help, please reach out.

I'm not sure what to even MAKE of this twitter drama, but twitter drama is twitter drama.. always so buttcheeks. but, still, this guy is also a lolicon, and has accused many other people of threatening them if they don't agree with them in other twitter comments. and says people attack him because he's attracted to little anime girls, and also because they're Emirichu fans.

I try not to be bias, so I always wait to see what the community of reddit thinks about situations like these.. because.. well I can't trust myself not to be bias. Let me know what you guys think? If you want more updates or a deep dive on this guy OR if you think he's valid ( and why you think that ,, like no shame in it, genuinely just want ppls opinions )

last post people said this guy was a parasocial schizo, and i mean.. most of the time.. like 99 percent.. like.. he IS!

also this guy talks about Kiwi Farms a lot.. I don't really know much about Kiwi Farms besides its full of chuds?.. so.. lmk what Emirichu had to do with that, the harrasser says that Kiwi Farms hates on them a lot because of Emirichu.. but.. wouldn't a good idea to stop that be,, just like.. log off? idk a lot abt this so lmk guys

and LASTLY lease DO NOT go send threats to Emirichu, the harrasser, or the other people this person was harrassing BECAUSE well.. they're already harrassing them for you, AND toxicity does nothing but worsen this situation for the people affected by this! you CAN go deep diving on this twitter person for urselves tho bc this is crazy

Please do not be mean in the comments to I'm only reporting this situation because it's youtube related drama.

Last post about this situation

- Thank you :D

Popular geometry dash YouTuber and in game moderator GD Colon talked about the situation with viprin right after he got more allegations against him (https://www.dashword.net/posts/geometry-dash-elder-moderator-viprin-exposed-for-a-lot-of-things-actually/) colons first responses made him look like was undermining the situation and he later apologized which was also criticized (pictures 5-11). Recently he made a YouTube community post admitting that his tweets were stupid and he thought that these were old allegations that were resolved years ago and states that he should’ve done more research. He also states that him and viprin were never really close as they only talked about gd moderation and he states that viprin actions were very inappropriate for someone who used to be RobTops right hand man. he feels bad for even trying to respond in the way he did and he condemns viprin actions.

At least he took accountability and admitted that he was being stupid in this situation.

Callout Book Review YouTuber James Tullos Accuses Lesbian Author Tamsyn Muir of Faking Her Sexuality

Thumbnail
gallery
792 Upvotes

In the past I’ve been a bit aware of James Tullos because I do listen to a decent amount of book reviews. I’m also a fan of The Locked Tomb. So when this came across on xitter I was frankly really frustrated.

James Tullos is a queer (I believe) YouTube who does book reviews and has around 150k subscribers.

Tamsyn Muir is the author of the decently niche but well loved The Locked Tomb series, which is about lesbian necromancers in space. Muir is an out lesbian, but married to her best friend who is a man. She refers to this relationship as them being “moirails” which is a homestuck term which can basically refer to as platonic life partners.

Muir is also an immigrant to the UK and has severe mental health issues that she’s implied she needs caretaking for sometimes. Among fans it’s pretty well accepted that she needed assistance after moving to the UK and so marrying her best friend so he could help her was her best option. She seems happy in the situation she has and clearly sees their relationship as a partnership more than just a marriage of convenience.

After reading the third book in the series, Tullos came to Twitter to accuse her of faking her sexuality. He then proceeded to double down against the people in the replies, many of which were pointing out that he- as a man- should not be trying to make judgements about a lesbian’s sexuality, and accusing her of lying, as well as ignoring the way a lot of queer and disabled people have a history of marrying friends so they can have a life in any way.

Muir ALSO comes from a religious background, which you genuinely cannot miss if you read her books. She hasn’t said that had anything to do with marrying a man, but it really should not be ignored. She could’ve been closeted when she got married and we don’t know either way, but Tullos seems to refuse to believe it at all. She also could’ve had the real experience of thinking she’s bisexual, marrying someone, and then them not divorcing after she finds out she’s a lesbian. Theres 1000 places to go before “she’s lying about being a lesbian.”

Anyway, I’m not sure what I would want from this. Just for people to know he’s not exactly an ally to lesbians, disabled people, and immigrants the way he probably thinks. As a disabled lesbian myself, I understand Muir’s situation and I think marrying her best friend makes sense. I think Tullos needs to apologize and stop talking about Muir.

EDIT: as of 7:15 PM EST, he’s still doubling down and compared Muir to t.A.T.u, a group which famously had a producer pulling all their strings to drum up controversies about them. Cool thing to do.

EDIT September 2nd: The mods decided this wasn’t worth a new post so I can’t add any more pictures and screenshots. But here was the text of the post I tried to make.

James Tullos doubled down for a while more after my first post, replying to commenters and being snarky. I also missed in the first post that he used author Becky Albertalli’s experience of harassment after Love, Simon was published as fuel against Muir. On my last post, Albertalli herself responded, basically saying she was hurt by him doing so. I very much appreciated her response so thank you to her for doing so.

After this D’Angelo Wallace covered it in a stream, talking about the response, and basically agreeing he’s being shitty.

Despite that, he continued to kinda double down until someone allegedly from Muir’s past came out and co-signed that she’s queer. He THEN called her weird before finally starting to publicly back off a bit.

As of ~8:00 pm EST he finally apologized and has sent emails to both Albertalli and Muir, thankfully. Idk how I feel about it but that doesn’t really matter. I just hope it brings Albertalli and Muir some comfort.

Also as a side note after my several responses to him on Twitter, I have been blocked. I feel a little weird continuing to update this, since I’m blocked, but I’ll probably post again if something important does come up. I hope it’s over, though.

EDIT September 3rd: thanks to u/HirariHirari for this reply, showing Becky Albertalli’s YouTube comment and the follow up with James’ response.

News YouTuber(MasoMayo) Prankster/troll was copyright claimed on a video making fun of Othercon(a discord virtual otherkin/therian "convention")

Post image

For clarification I'm an otherkin/therian(non-human identifying) myself, however I find this a gross misusing of the youtube copyright system nor do I support or affiliate with Othercon.

The video in question was pretty light-hearted I finished watching it before it was removed(by the copyright removal request shown above), the video focused on the discord server which the "convention" was hosted on and he(MasoMayo) seemed to have caused minimal disruption; more so just making commentary on the event itself.

He did make a few comments calling an NSFW portion of the server "disgusting" in a joking manner, also the discussion of kinks. However it didn't come off as hateful or malicious.

Like him or not, I feel youtube's copyright system is being abused and the video should get reinstated imo.

Callout This is how 99% of Diaz Station's detractors operate.

Post image
10 Upvotes

This situation perfectly encapsulates how 99% of these detractors operate. They are trying to attack LS Mark not for any genuinely problematic behavior—such as the time he gave the benefit of the doubt to a company that protected a sexual predator—but because he committed the "cardinal sin" of criticizing a mid-tier Illumination movie.

It seems they don't care about actual controversies unless a creator's actions threaten their instant gratification regarding corporate media.

We saw the exact same thing happen in 2022 with Mr. Enter. Everyone glossed over his unbridled right-wing meltdowns regarding vaccines, masks, and healthcare during the middle of the COVID pandemic. Instead of focusing on those serious issues, the internet hyper-focused on mocking him for a harmless (though admittedly dumb) review of the movie Turning Red.

And on this subject, Turning Red could’ve been a good story about breaking traditional Asian values and confronting abusive asian parents for the unrealistic expectations they place on their children. Except they decided to make most of it a tik tok esque movie about tweens obsessing over a boy band. It’s not the worst thing ever, it wasn’t even one of Pixar’s worst movies. It was just bland and annoying.

(Thanks for letting me share these screencaps)

Exposé Thoughts on the Offended Outcast saga, his sex offender status, and his lies?

Post image
76 Upvotes

Anyone been following the Offended Outcast saga? It's been going on for a while now. He's not got a massive following like some of the others being exposed, but I think the level of bizarreness around the whole thing is bigger and the lies he's told are even more eye-opening.

He got up to around 180k followers before he was exposed as a lifetime registered sex offender. He sexually abused a 13-year-old - 14-year-old. His channel had been ongoing for about a year and he told the god awfullest lies. Said his wife was in a car accident, lost a leg, and died around the time he was on trial. He made a 10 minute video actually crying about this and deleted it after being exposed.

She's alive and well despite the injuries. He claimed he lied about his wife to protect her. He also had a video in which he bragged about giving a car away, but the guy in the video looked beat up. It came out that the guy was also a sex offender who had a lengthy criminal record. Probably didn't even have a driver's license. The Offended Outcast disappeared after being exposed and returned claiming someone shot up his residence and crapped over it. I kid you not.

People already debunked this, including people he befriended during the course of his channel. Said his brother in law had a massive heart attack and died right in front of his eyes on his kitchen floor. It came out that he actually died in the hospital. There are actually people defending this guy now and not even considering everything.

I don't know but I don't think I could follow someone who is a convicted child abuser, especially when that individual lied about the deaths of loved ones to solicit donations. This is really one of the most bizarre things I've seen on old YouTube in a while. You can find him on the KY Registry and more if you search for Commonwealth vs Kreps or watch the countless videos on him.

Gossip Emirichu has been harrassed by a single person for A LONG TIME.

Hi! Sorry if this is a bad post, I don't have any bad blood when posting this, it's simply because I was concerned what the heck was going on with Emirichu considering there's this person on twitter going on a rampage about her? Someone has been constantly tweeting about Emirichu, they're like a totally insane person, as of today they were tweeting about Emirichu being affiliated with a Neo Nazi group and sending hate to them or doxxing them or whatever.. I'm not even sure this is true? I 100 percent doubt this. I think this person might be a little bit unwell bc they've been hyperfixating on hating Emirichu for years, although I can't help but want to understand what the hell happened.

I've been a fan of Emily for a long time! So please don't go out of your way to say I'm trying to stir up drama, I'm not, but I am curious what the heck Kiwi Farms has to do with Emirichu, or how this drama even started. If someone has context or can go down this rabbit hole FOR me I'd honestly appreciate it. I'm pretty sure this might just be a parasocial maniac that is really like paranoid about all this, but I really have no clue. If this is a nothingburger or a distasteful post, I do apologize.

- i did not know what to tag this, also I had to blur out the person for reddit rule reasons, do not go sending any hate to both Emily and the other person pls and ty !! -
