[@thefluffykirbyprincess6307]

Every time someone romanticizes Lolita I die a little inside. It is a genuinely well written book about a child abuser and the dark nature they hold. It is about how they lie, manipulate, and cheat everyone (including the reader) in order to get their way. I think it is a well written book, BUT EVERY TIME I hear someone call it a love story, I swear an angel in heaven loses its wings. Also, this isn't aimed at you in a negative way at all rather at other people, but I am so sick of some people being like, "It's lolicon~" when no, it's damn pedophilia and perverted not some "complex." People need to stop trying to call it something else to make it sound "better." It's like those twitter clowns who are like, "I'm a minor attracted person." Wow, that's a weird way to pronounce pedophile, but ok.

[@SpaceySodaPop]

Edit: I did hear their story is based on their own toxic relationship they were in, plus they have some mental health issues. Plus people are mentioning a stalker. These probably don’t excuse all their actions but I thought these were at least very important to add. Dear god, I just saw their elevator man and psychocuties stuff in my recommended a while back. I followed them thinking this was a story that was clearly showing the mistreatment of a vulnerable person and needing to escape that relationship. Sucks to find out about all this. I hope you’re doing well after researching this.

[@13sinra13]

True. I thought this too when I first discovered the animation after Elevator Man on my feed back in January. I thought it was going to paint a story about Mimi needing to realize her situation and needing to escape it, but after hearing what everyone is saying about the creator and the themes, now I don’t want to follow the story or characters. This sucks too, and I was a fan of the animation style (up until now). Well, after all of…this, I hope you’re doing okay, and I hope you have a good day.

tamakuz actually posted a new vid on the same day this iceberg was uploaded ! it was a short animatic of dr masacrik dancing along to the song “this hurts” by msi, going along with the lyrics by basically praising himself and following that up with “so why doesn’t that make me feel better ?” it then cuts to ushka with the lyrics “I need some more, need someone who’s insecure” before showing dr masacrik holding onto her as the lyrics say “controlling you makes me better” not really relevant to this vid much, but I thought I’d mention it in case anyone wanted to know,,, but like dr masacrik and ushka’s relationship is very intentionally toxic, and if you somehow couldn’t see that before, then this animatic LITERALLY says in your face that he’s using her to make himself feel better

[@silver_dusk]

Yeah I saw that vid, I watched it before I saw this iceberg video, I was initially so happy to see tamakuz finally posting after I had unsubbed cuz I thought she'd gone radio silent.

I do not know if the group still exists, but I have personally seen these posts.)

[@P2NK_1]

Some info here to elaborate on a bunch of things Used to be a fan here. The green haired guy is Buttercup, my favorite chatacter by Tamakuz. He’s the opposite of Masakrik. A man who’s full of himself yet way kinder than the Doctor. He has a crush on Strawberry but she doesn’t like him back. Buttercup and Doctor Masakrik butt heads alot. They both despise eachother. Strawberry and Buttercup are the employees of the hospital Doctor Masakrik used to work at. Unironically, Buttercup is the least toxic character there. Tamakuz is also a neo nazi. She glorifies Putin’s attack on Ukrain. There is a groupchat where she unironically has stickers where she is using swastika’s and “ die to Ukrain “ or something along that. She is for the entire ideal of communism. The creator you mentioned that had proved a lot of proof is also a creep themselves. I was in a server with a bit portion of the fanbase where he was the leader. He voiced the Psychocuties episode in English and it fitted a lot. Though, over the time the people moticed how odd he’s talking about from what i remember a 15 year old, where he was 18/19 at the time of the event. A big portion left the server and riled up against him because of his creepy behavior. Another thing: he kept messaging Tamakuz to a point where Tamakuz had enough of him. She was angry on how he was making, in her words, “ Shitty content “. He messaged her asking a bunch of questions but he wouldn’t stop. He kept making content regardless of Tamakuz being very rude from the start. This iceberg goes a lot deeper than it is 😅… EDIT: Buttercup was never used because she absolutely HATED this oc. She didn’t like him at all because it’s the complete opposite of what she likes.

The lolita drawing actually made my jaw drop. I knew about the other lolita drawing beforehand but seeing that fully rendered image made me feel sick, especially how they sexualized her. Anyway so glad I found this video because a lot of the fandom isnt even aware of tamakuz's actions and seeing someone finally speak up about it in detail gave me hope. I really wish the fandom in future becomes more aware of this and progresses to become better especially considering how many young girls I have seen talk about how they want a relationship simular to mimi's and the doctor (it's a conserning amount). ^^

When i first discovered pshycocuties i didn't know much about the lore and i thought ushka was a child and that she and the doctor were going to have a, probably toxic, father and daughter like relationship, i was SO wrong. Portraying an abusive relationship it's not bad if you don't romanticize it, but after seeing the art that the creator makes of their characters, and how they said that she was 18 when they were being called problematic, thats clearly not their intention, it just seems like a weird way to excuse their actions, to me, it sounds like the classic "she looks young but she's actually a 500 year old elf 🤓☝🏻".

[@Alexis-nd4oc]

I won't lie, this iceberg left me in shock, it hit me like a truck and even dumped a bucket of ice water on me. The worst part? The worst part was that I was a fan of this series, since I liked the concept I had inside my head (concept influenced by what I had heard from a Spanish-speaking youtuber, since I am Latin and my English level is basic to bad): A comedy where several psychopaths in love find themselves fighting in a love square while adorable and macabre things happen. I went into the video under the idea that I was going to find curiosities about the characters, curiosities that I was going to use to make a bot of a character I liked, but my god, what did I find? I was going to look for copper and I ended up finding hell: It hit me like a bat knowing that the creator was a fart who had changed her work to align with her “tastes” (something that pisses me off, because I went to research her drawings on VK and was surprised to find a human version of Ushka and I must admit I loved it more than the current concept), it hit me like a bucket of ice water about her being a white supremacist and the drawings with the funny mustache man outfit, but without a doubt what left me in shock of disgust was the Lolita drawing. Honestly, I feel quite shocked and upset to know that the creator was so distant to my idea of her, since I thought of her project as “an independent series that seeks to stand out” and I was even glad to think that animation in Russia was having more impact on this side of the globe where I live. But well, I don't know whether to bot or not anymore, but I think the best I can do is to completely disassociate the art from the artist and I guess make some changes to the character to improve it and take it out of the original concept. Shit, another series ruined because the creator doesn't realize that her philia is bad.

[@Flutters-to-cuppers]

[@crepe404]

In fact, there have been videos on this topic on russian-language youtube for a long time and some of them are just terrible and much worse than what tamakuz did on the Internet. For example, the most popular video about them is a video made by their stalker. He came to the door of the apartment where they live, sent them photos of their door, eavesdropped on them through the wall. He also encouraged people to harass tamakuz online, using their fascination with l0lic0n as a reason for. And all this, as far as I know, happened because they did not reciprocate and blocked him in the VK group. I didn't really dive into this situation, so this is only superficial information that I learned from the videos covering this conflict. I don't support what tamakuz were doing, but it that's not a reason for bullying and stalking online and irl. Also, I think people from the 1st world countries need to keep in mind that, according to my observations, people from the CIS are more prone to problematic behavior, since childhood in Russia and similar countries is often filled with traumatic events. I and most of my social circle live in the CIS, and many people with whom I was close enough to discuss trauma had some serious traumatic events as they grew up, from the death of relatives with subsequent funerals, to sa. And this cannot but lead to an interest in dark topics as a coping mechanism.

GOD I CANT FOCUS WITH THAT THING BOBBING UP AND DOWN UP AND DOWN MAKE IT STOP

[@TheUkiko]

To be honest I was expecting something much worse. There are other artists that have evil characters and messed up relationships. I think the problem is people seeing those characters and thinking i want to be like that, or fetishizing it. I also find the fact that when I look for why people want to cancel the artist, it's hard to find evidence to backup why. I don't think a character reflects the thoughts of the artist, for a long time I would draw people that I hated. Just don't want to jump on the hate bandwagon without a good reason.

I like when westerns keep talking about tamakuz being n@zi or pedo, but no one says shit about her creepy stalker who started spread all these rumors about her. Most of this proofes either fake or cut out of context. There is such a thing as the presumption of innocence. You have no right to accuse a person until he has comitted a crime. Tamakuz never harassed children or expressed sympathy for n@zism. I agree that she is weird and childish af. But you are trying to cancel a person while providing evidence of someone who has been following her for 3 years. Tell people about her stalker, who came to her home and try to cancel her for 3 damn years. Honestly, I have so many thoughts on this topic. I think that Tamakuz is very strange and is often wrong in her judgments. But she never did anything wrong to get her or psychocuties canceled.

It was everywhere, nearly every artist has drawn just one thing from the list. Because there was NO culture of uhh treating characters and drawings as something serious, just as SOMETHING. Just arts. Just edgy little drawings that ment nothing, did just for fun. Then there was law in 2016(?) that proclaimed sexual drawings of minor characters equals to pedofilia now. I remember the whole MASSIVE albums of nsfw artworks were removed from mlp and homestuck fangroups and everyone was like "noooo" (guess what, the law is just on paper, you still can easily find them in closed groups and no one will or ever had actual legal troubles, The Adults has no care about drawing (oh but they're SURELY CARE about any gay artwork💀 THIS is where you might get troubled.)) And then around 2017-2018 something happened, like the internet kids grown up, learned english to enjoy twitter and tumblr, AND ONLY THEN people in the art community started to tabooing abuse art, nazi uniform and loli art, catching it from the english speaking community. ONLY THEN. But guess what, we still have NO cancel culture. It just don't exist here. I swear, somehow the most of people who actually give a fawk is 12-20yo who uses/used tumblr and twitter or who doesn't know english and just - uhh I don't want to say "catched a trend" but cant come up with the right words rn - from them. I'm just genuinely surprised that if, let's say, the whole russian internet was cut off from the world like the asian one, BY THIS DAY NO ONE WOULD EVER. CARE. A FLIPPING FLYING FUCK BY THESE DAYS. What a cultural perception, huh. So why am I saying this. It's veeery easy to dig up some shit on MANY russian-speaking artist. BUT because of them being just an edgy teens at the time and followed edgy trends without a thought. Many of them changed their minds as they grow up. I personally was obsessed with abusive creations when I was a teen AND AS AN ADULT I HAVE NO IDEA WHY💀💀💀. JUST NO IDEA. I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER. Guess it's was just hormones + teen rebel + mentality. English-speaking people and russian-speaking people were growing up in polar opposite worlds and still have pollar opposite mentalities. And from what I remember, creepypasta and edgy bloody animes was THE MOST popular fandoms at the time in Russia. Amost no one was parent supervised, it wasn't even a thing (and not a thing now, parents here don't care what their children doing on that silly little internet... and most families here are abusive and conservative) And I'm saying this not to defend Tamakuz by any means. She's doing it now, when everyone is already aware, not in 2013 when everyone literally had no idea those stuff are bad. Just informing for those who have no idea but may have a question "why it always russians". Also I love infodumping and have no friends lol sorry

[@gll__]

it's just americans being a prudish hyporcites, do not cite to them.

[@parisssun1111]

Honestly thank you so much for making me understand now 😭 I always wondered why some ( well..most Russians) can be like this, it's so ridiculous to see some Russians who grow up from this era but still is so edgy to the point it's so immature and disgusting 💀

[@littlesunshine650]

I found about psycho cuties when it had just came out, And I was honestly pretty amazed by it, I didn’t know about all this things and I had honestly thought it was just a choice of style on how old ushka looked, since some artists do that. I honestly was expecting a story where Ushka like escaped or confronted the doctor about it but uhh given the circumstances I think the story wants to lean into the toxicity. Thank you for informing us!! I hope this video stays the place it is at. Honestly pshyco cuties had some potential (story part, it’s original and such) , but again that’s just my opinion. Thank you!!

[@Laschietotsk]

9:28 I think I've seen a post with him, in the description it says his name is buttercup!!! 11:50 Tamakuz confirmed Masacrik is 25 on a page explaining psychocuties

[@garfielffan6954]

I’m just confused on how some people didn’t realize they were weird from the start. Like, the cat girl looks like a literal child, and is basically OWNED by the doctor. Hello??

[@big_bird25]

THIS IS SO UPSETING OMG. I really thought it was just a cute little show that had a normal creator :(

[@melpontes790]

I literally just discovered "Psychocuties" last night and thought that the obviously toxic and abusive dynamic was the part of the plot without the sexualization, like, have the problem but it would be a topic that the public would see and think "Eww. Wtf, this guy is shit". Brazilian hugs. But thanks to your video I saw that unfortunately not. In short: I had no idea of ​​the creator's intention or appreciation regarding the questionable dynamics she puts into her characters. I also draw, I have two characters who have a toxic relationship dynamic, but obviously I despise it and I wouldn't want to romanticize or boast about such a thing for a moment. **I really thank you for the informative video**, because I really wasn't aware and I'm quite disgusted and disappointed with the creator because she really knows how to draw and her animation is beautiful, but unfortunately the "beauty" will remain in an aesthetic way and not because of the rotten and unhealthy plot of romanticizing something like this as content for horny sicks who find it "beautiful"...

[@Secret.fand0m]

I am really glad that someone else is talking about this too,the way i watched both the animations and already felt extremely weird was off settling.

[@socialott8021]

Good lord having this connected to Oingo Boingo and Danny Elfman in a way is absolutely wild LMAOOO (Danny Elfman sang Elevator Man btw, one of my fave artists/bands) It also pisses me off that people might associate this with the band and demonize it like one of the other works which is satire and making fun of creeps, which honestly the author probably would unironically use. Sighs, we cannot have nice things LMAO

[@myra_8083]

thank you for this video, i was a cautious fan (mostly because i liked the dr character but thought the girl looked way too young) so im glad to see my suspicions have been confirmed about this creator. i unsubscribed from their yt channel and wont be supporting them no longer.

[@metrixnugget1562]

Thanks for talking about this bc since no one is talking about it, I thought I was bullshitting

[@princesschameleon4517]

I only watched one video of there's because it was on my KZbin reccomend and saw it, but after watching this, I'm deeply and utterly shocked, disappointed and disgusted all at the same time! How do they sleep at night doing this?!

[@AsterAstreoid]

OH MY FUCKING GOD- that honestly just.. Made me sick to my stomach I'm not even joking i was sitting in my chair uncomfortably and sweating trying to force myself to listen the video until the end. I watched the Elevator man and psychocuties video because my friend also watched it and at first i jokingly said to her "Wtf Elevator man is such a pedophile 😭" because you know in the video old Ushka LOOKED LIKE A LITERAL CHILD and after hearing some people saying that Tamakuz is a creep and watching this video IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW 😭

[@DexterTheVampire]

The fact that no one made a video about Tamakuz despite everything they did is sad

[@Yunisstuff]

Thank you so so SO much for covering this topic!! I heard on tiktok about all of the disgusting shit (the n@z! arts, l0lita etc.), which i already found disgusting, but i did not expect it to go this far. You are an absolute gem, spending 16 hours on research. I really hope more people will find this video, because you covered everything so well!!

[@grey.tmc.]

i used to love this omg😭i had only seen a few things about it and loved the art... thanks for making this

[@yoobaboba]

all these leaks/exposures on tamakuz are provoked by her crazy stalker, by talking about this topic you are just once again making this creep happy. yes, she did draw gross things, i myself really hate it. but as i remember in the CIS such behavior was not even condemned for a long time, such a video could be made about sooo many russian artists. but why is there nothing like that about them? because they are not monitored by a creep, who sniffs out all the information, sometimes distorts the meaning and makes up facts, lol. (NOT SAYING IT'S NORMAL, i think that every artist who glorified discussed themes should be exposed one day. just why only her and why exactly when that dude wants it?) in conclusion, destroying her reputation is literally what her stalker wants rn, and making a whole video about her and never mentioning him (even in comments, you can do that literally in a couple of minutes) is imo... not good???

[@sprinkleisdumbfr]

A few days ago my friend showed me and talked about psychocuties I did find it interesting and watched the elevator video and found it a bit strange due to ushka's human appearance being a bit younger despite her being a fresh 18 year old. My friend told me that tamakuz were a bit problematic but still liked the art style of the series. I looked more into the series and stumbled across this video and now I'm disgusted of the things tamakuz did. I tried to reason with my friend how they shouldn't be so mesmerized by the cute art when its romanticizing abuse. Luckily she understands but I'm worried for them.

[@sprinkleisdumbfr]

+ my friend can like the show but they don't support the problematic stuff which is good

[@ricestrange]

I knew of the "not zee" illustration and glorifying toxic relationship parts but daaamn. :( stuff gets worse...

[@alyssabice9421]

Yeah I wasn't really expecting that when it ACTUALLY came up 😭💀 especially the skin c@rving??!?? Wtf,,

[@dedcat._.https..h3]

oh my gosh, my flabbers are gasted, until a couple days ago i only knew of the music video, i was kind of creeped out by dr masacrik but felt relieved knowing that ushka wasnt a kid. but wow i thought the thing was creepy but not THAT creepy, tysm for this vid

[@RomanZouhar]

bro i just saw the iceberg and went literally to the bottom when i saw the topics my jaw dropped bruhhh

[@lettr.of.sc4rlet]

Im drowning in disappointment and the revelation of the romanticized portrayal Lolita in Psycho Cuties. As an avid Nabokov enjoyer it disgusts me when any romanticozation of Lolita comes to play. To make this even worse in some degree Psycho Cuties was actually helping me cope with abuse I had faced previously and that just threw me off man

[@vvampiricnature]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS SUBJECT TO LIGHT. People I used to be friends with absolutely love this story and I've found it revolting, to say the least. I don't like Psychocuties and I can't be around the people who enjoy it.

[@WATCLysh]

Everything else is valid but I don't believe the Nun art is that deep. Artists have sexualized many characters as Nuns/Priests before. I won't deny that it's most definately controversial at the very least, but this is just my opinion and the arguments depends on someones beliefs.

[@JuniDrawz]

I 100% agree٫ Its always been a thing tbh٫ but i added it in js bcz if i didnt some1 would say I forgot it hehe

[@SnowLily123]

… I literally just found out about this series from an edit on TikTok… I was so down to enjoy the series and even watched the first episode… but uh… I think I’m good now. Thanks. 😬

[@user-og5zi1wd7v]

Ita great you speak up about this, people will support terrible people just ebcaude there art is "good" or the creator is "hot" etc but my jaw DROPPED on the Lolita art. It sickens me

[@sky30p75]

“A little hood and some cute cat ears 😙 Not as cute as the next level… 😬” made me laugh WAY harder than it should’ve lol

[@LuluzDeMoth]

Honestly, I literally only learned about Psycho Cuties a few days ago and I clicked on that video so fast when I had seen the art style. I’m all for indie content and I always try to watch the whole video before forming a solid opinion on it. What is it with the most problematic creators having such good potential? I’m genuinely so disappointed to be hearing all of this, yet, I find myself not so surprised. Of course, despite not wanting to judge things before finishing it, I couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable throughout the video- and I really doubt there were much viewers who seen Ushka and thought she was an adult at first look. However I did have the thought “Maybe I could like these characters without supporting what they do?” Which was sort of hard, because apart from the amazing art style, that’s sort of all we really see in Masacrik. He doesn’t have any redemption arc or deep backstory that somehow makes sense of why he’s the way he is. And I don’t think Tamakuz has any intention of making that. When I watched Elevator Man, I was totally for it, for around the first half of the video. The song was by one of my favorite bands, the animation was flawless and again, the art style is SCRUMPTIOUS. But then when Ushka got involved I was immediately grossed out, like, she has literal tears coming out of her eyes and he quite literally licks them up. Even if this character is and 18 year old, it’s clear she’s not fully consensual. I kept trying to tell myself that I was lacking some sort of understanding, but the creator clearly doesn’t hide the fact that she’s glorifying this sh!t. I really thought the pilot and the fandom would have potential and I was pretty excited to be part of it, it’s going to be pretty hard forgetting about such a cool looking video with such a disturbing backstory. 😢

[@OzzerZinx]

If anyone feels like summarizing this i would appreciate, listening to 22 minutes of disappointment from a show i really respected since the day it came out is a pretty fat let down to my day

[@JuniDrawz]

Summary; Tamakuz supports p3d0ph1lia, is a lol1con, a n@z1 suppremacist and just overall kind of a creep

[@OzzerZinx]

@@JuniDrawz I respect you for not getting upset of over watch time/views from one person I didn't actually think you'd respond. But damn that's such disappointment and I was really excited to see where this idea was going, I'll definitely watch this once I get over this but thank you for the heads up!

[@Robin-ur8xh]

when I heard Yarlixen I gasped cause im in their discord server and didn't expect to see them here, they are working on their own iceberg and it should be releasing here around mid august ^^

[@JuniDrawz]

hehehehe yes I am in contact with them they are very sweet :)

[@-_CYLS_-]

idk if it's just me slowly being the most problematic person bc i'm also an msi fan like them.. but i wasn't like shocked or smt bc i think im just really used to people being like this but i mean i don't mind with ppl buying.. weird.. things EXCEPT if they go out and do those things to others and try to hurt others or use an image of A REAL PERSON and get weird with it like ok be weird asf but don't get other people involved

[@lonnie2805]

This is really sad because I like the animation and style but I didn’t know at the time while watching that tamakuz supports such things and is these things I feel like almost betrayed I’ll continue to watch their content but not support their actions I hope people stumble across this video ❤

[@Vivi-u2x]

GREEN HAIRD GUYS NAME IS BUTTER CUP!! And there is also one other character you missed!!! Her name is snail (not official but she has a snail hat!!)and all we know at the moment is she likes strawberry

[@randomfellow27]

Omg i saw a few russian shorts of psychos cuties and i was interested a bit but it was a bit hard too... Actaully find it. I didnt care much about it after watching it. But now i get to finally know what the sigma is this about

[@gooberyfour]

( 9:16 ) the green guy's name is butterscotch ( i think ^_^ )

[@RekEStore32]

Yikes, and yeah. The more you know. There's been other media where the villains are either revealed to be antiheros or comic relief in their actions. What Tamakuz is doing looks like NONE of that! Hope she gets good help in the future.

[@Acediathy]

I came around the sub reddit of psychocuties and apparently some people call the green guy "lutik"

[@maryloufalanga-qq6bl]

When i came to this video i thought the huge problem was the fandom but to see that the creator herself did the most of the disgusting shit is really traumatic, i used to support because i liked the animation and thought it was about Breaking Free from Toxic Relationships but now i won't see any of what they post on KZbin the same way...

[@LeilanyEnid]

I hate the fact that my childhood nickname is Lolita (not bc of the book) the coincidence makes me wanna cryyyyy

[@theirfavoritemistake1373]

I didnt realize that anyone still looked at psycho cuties but im genuinely so glad this video was made because i didnt have a full extent on how much the creator sucks and is weird, thank you for the education 🙏

[@Splat654]

[@gh0stly.v1be.mp34]

I’m so glad someone talked about this! I was scrolling on Pinterest when I came across that exact Nun AU fanart and was extremely disgusted. A few days earlier I had found the Elevator Man fan animation and even seeing just how these two characters were depicted made me feel uncomfortable. Anyone with a conscience and the ability to understand the implications of Dr. Masikir (I think that’s how you spell it) and Ushka’s relationship can clearly tell there is a SIGNIFICANT age gap. When I first saw the Elevator Man fan animation I recognized just how young Ushka looked. I’m so glad this video exists so I don’t have to sit here and question my feelings about how weird this whole thing is.
