It has been approximately 2 months since I last made a post regarding any YouTuber. I know that this blog is dead and not as many people visit it but as I mentioned before many times in early spring that I will come out with YouTuber based posts whenever I feel like it. So, with that being said, VTuber's are practically everywhere you try to search things on YouTube as a whole. You have good ones but those are far from few and in between the bad ones. The premise of it is cringy but I guess it's something for people to look at. Here is a primary example of a VTuber that tries to call out things and then immediately backpedals it on how bad it is. This is Pipkin Pippa.
Why She's Bad:
Jacksfilms Debacle / Statement Backpedaling:
For those that don't know, Jacksfilms is a YouTuber that used to make skits within the past 18+ years being on YouTube. I mentioned him when SSSniperWolf doxxed him in a separate discussion post. Within the past year or so, Jack has been focusing more and more on people who do reaction videos and calls them out for not crediting the sources. About a week ago, Jack posted a video titled "Is this VTuber stealing content?" in which he talks about a VTuber by the name of Filian basically reacting to various meme compilations but not crediting the sources. Now Filian has had a history in regard to the model she used without licensing or permission but that's a story for another time.
After the video was posted on Jacks second channel (JJJacksfilms parody to calling out SSSniperWolf), several VTuber drama channels came out and reacted to Jacks video on Filian to express their own opinions. Keep in mind that these are the same channels that complain about other drama channels (while being one of them) and how when they give their own criticism on things, they're the ones that can't handle criticism properly. But anyways, Pipkin Pippa was the first of many to comment this on Twitter in several tweets. One of the broad subjects is Pipkin comparing Jack to Keemstar which is really fucking stupid and the second is bringing up the BetterHelp sponsorship (there's no explanation on this because BetterHelp is the worst sponsor to have) and calling him a grifter. Rima Evenstar responded in the tweet and called him nitpicky with responses being mixed. It's ironic coming from drama channels that do the same exact thing.
A couple of days after the tweets were posted, a recent stream of Her's was leaked, and a clip was posted essentially her doubling down on the whole situation. Let me tell you, the clip (shown above) is so fucking awful and painful to watch so watch at your own risk. Everyone has sides to pick on who's right and who's wrong and to be fair, both parties are at fault. Pippa definitely has had a fair share of controversies within the past few years so it's not surprising to see getting dragged back into it and then doubling down on the situation. It's also not surprising that she hasn't been banned for statements that have either aged poorly or being problematic. With Jack making videos on people not giving proper credit isn't going to change anything. Then again it's reddit, what do you expect? Also, with Jack's response on Filian, he wasn't even being mean, he was giving his own take about Filian not crediting the sources and that was it. There was no malicious intent being done and Jack actually praised her.
Furthermore, these VTuber drama channels or even VTuber channels that report on updates or news never actually watch the video or watch a portion of the video just to shit talk on someone. Of course, none of these people can't be taken seriously and it's a huge problem with slop content.
