Now, there are some examples of youtubers who make this type of content:
Yao Cabrera:
Yao Cabrera is a highly criticized youtuber. He uploads inappropriate content on YouTube (like sexual content, giveaways that are scams, fake deaths). We would like to highlight the false deaths, since there are several times that he has faked his death, specifically; once he pretended to be stabbed, the false kidnapping where he pretended to be kidnapped so that later his friends asked Yao Cabrera’s followers on social networks for money and thus steal their money, which is a crime. He then faked his own death, having his friends and followers go to the Obelisk to hold a death march for him. And finally, he once again pretended to fall from a third floor. Yao Cabrera not only has his private channel, but he participates in a lot of joint channels, such as VIRAL, WIFI TEAM, COPITO, YANDE, and many others. Each of them makes the same kind of content, both sexual and misleading content.
Katunik:
This youtuber makes content that looks like it’s appropriate for kids, but it’s not. He makes sexual content with characters from games like ‘Among Us’. Many people criticize this YouTube channel and say that it is not suitable for children. He has up to 8 multi-accounts to upload the same content to all. On each channel, he uploads the same content, but with different titles, for example; in ‘Katunik 7.0’ he uploads some videos called “cup song the best moments” which are videos with a character from the game ‘Among Us’ touching the backsides of other characters from the same game. Also, for example, in ‘Katunik 4.0’, he makes videos with the same theme, but with the title: “cup song with pop it” in which the characters of ‘Among Us’ play with the pop it. The bad thing about it is not the animation, but the cover of the video, which is a drawing with the characters of the previously mentioned doing things not suitable for children.
KeiferMC:
KeiferMc is a Minecraft youtuber who makes sexual content. He has been criticized by more than 2 different YouTube users, such as Pipepino or LordFrek. He already apologized publicly once, but after that, he kept uploading the same type of content. The worst thing about this is that he said that his content was mainly addressed to children, but his content isn’t, because it’s very sexual. After being criticized, Keifer MC has not changed, but he didn’t apologize and he didn’t say thanks to the youtuber who has criticized him for telling him what he is doing wrong. Instead of that, he decided to insult them, he has even thrown the videos of criticism on his channel. How? Reporting the videos, and making his followers also report the videos, which is why shooting a video just because you are being criticized is illegal, and can get your channel closed as punishment.
FuturisticHub:
FuturisticHub is a YouTube channel that makes animated videos of the Minecraft game. Most of the content in his channel is 3D animations, like an animation with video game characters included, but the other part is what we are here to talk about. The other part of its content is based on 3D animations as well, but instead of being normal like the ones mentioned above, they are sexualized animations, it is a small part, but it is still a part of its content. The not suitable for children content was uploaded previously, now it seems that he has learned from the criticism that has been dedicated to him, but previously he used sexualized content such as “Guess what part of the body you are touching”, I would not like to deepen the subject of that video, because it is too inappropriate. Now, the dedicated critics have made him change, but previously it was not like that. 5 years ago, Kim star, an English-speaking youtuber, criticized his content, but some time later, FuturisticHub, instead of responding kindly and changing for the better, dedicated a video of one of his 3D animations (obviously not able for children), and the worst of all, these videos do not have an age restriction like many others from other channels.
Windy Girk:
Windy Girk is a YouTuber which content is about cosplays who has 3.42M followers on YouTube. She uploads content like her wearing swimsuits or cosplays, gameplays, or just chatting with her. Windy has been criticised not only for her raunchy content, but also for a controversy that happened a while back. It all started when a youtuber / streamer named Rubius organised a tournament for a videogame called ‘Fortnite’. When the tournament participants came to light, it was seen that Windy Girk was not selected to participate. Due to this, when Rubius went to a place that we couldn’t find to sign the fans, Windy Girk met him and said the famous phrase refering to “don’t be mean, add me in the tournament”. Since Rubius ignored her, Windy Girk uploaded a video to her YouTube channel, accusing Rubius of being sexist, and accusing him of things that he really didn’t do. Apart from that controversy, years later she got into another controversy with the youtuber Arigameplays. It all started in a match of the aforementioned video game. In the match, Windy Girk was fighting and going to protect herself from her, and all of a sudden, Arigameplays found her and killed her. Because of that event, a fight broke out between the two youtubers, reaching the point that, one day, Windy Girk was doing a live stream while she was playing the video game ‘Free fire’. When she was waiting to be put into a party, she started looking at her mobile, when suddenly a notification from her enemy, AriGameplays, came up. And because of being her enemy, she got angry and started screaming like a normal person has never done, turning red and yelling swear words, which was one of the biggest controversies related to her. Years later, while playing ‘Free fire’, she began to talk about how she was being attacked with “bots” (artificial intelligences programmed to do a certain action) giving her a dislike for the video, putting reports on her videos, or putting bad comments. When she talked about it, she got angry, and started saying that they were damaging her career and her life, to later start shouting at the top of her lungs: “El Arcángel Gabriel los va a castigar! Os lo juro!” And then started crying. That was another of the biggest controversies in which she has been involved.
Chupita:
Chupita is a youtuber who currently uploads normal videos. But in the past, he uploads horror content, which sometimes went too far and became embarrassing like “SpongeBob kidnaps my girlfriend” (carries her down to bikini bottoms).” After uploading these kinds of videos and being criticised by many people, he began to upload reaction content (he himself reacting to the videos), but the worst thing isn’t his reactions to some videos, is his content was stolen, it was an exaggerated plagiarism; the content was literally the same than others youtubers: (the videos were copied) the facial expressions were the same, the same cover background, the same dialogue, and in the video, the “clips” that appeared were the same, played at the same moment, etc.
Nikocado Avocado:
He is an American celebrity named Nicholas Perry and his pseudonym is Nikocado Avocado. He records videos where he eats large amounts of junk food, or what is the same, doing mukbang; someone eating excessive amounts of food and talking to the audience. He now weighs 350 pounds (159 kg) and is 29 years old. It is obvious that he has many health problems and could die if he continues with this lifestyle. The reason why people go to his videos is not because they like that type of content, but because of the morbidity that these videos generate. A few months ago a controversy arose in which he was related to another person called “Vegan Teacher”, who is a woman who does everything possible to make people vegan, even harassing innocent people in public and popular places. It all goes back a while, when the Vegan Teacher made a critical video of Nikocado Avocado, criticizing the content he records, and telling him that he should stop making that kind of content. He responded with more insults, finally eating a cooked chicken to make fun of veganism. Due to all this controversy, a fight has been created between the Vegan Teacher supporting veganism, and Nikocado Avocado supporting junk food. Some time ago he made a video saying that it was a social experiment and that the viewers are the real consumers, implying that all the content he made, the videos of him eating and throwing junk food, all that content was a social experiment to watch one thing: what did people do when they saw those kinds of videos? This video drives the entire community of youtubers crazy. Apart from this topic, Nikocado Avocado is also recognized for creating an “Only fans” which is a website where he uploads risque content, because Nikocado has created an account of that, where he uploads content that can traumatize people.
Chica play time:
Chica play time is a YouTube channel that makes inappropriate animations of games called: “Fnaf security breach” or “Poppy Playtime”. She/He makes animations with game characters and sexualizes them by making inappropriate animations, and that can be watched by children with no advertising in the video or description. The worst of all is that this style of videos, the YouTube platform don’t delete them, and the videos don’t have any age restriction.
In conclusion, there are a lot of youtubers that make inappropriate content that YouTube should ban.
