The Unsettling DOXXING of JacksFilms

Try Brilliant for FREE for a full 30 days: brilliant.org/AndreiTerbea
Over the past month, the KZbin community has been turned upside down over the doxxing of Jacksfilms by Sssniperwolf, prompting questions about the very nature of internet beefing, what is and isn't allowed in creator feuds, where the line is and why crossing it sets a dangerous precedent. I would like to add an additional perspective to the conversation, based on what I perceive to be a double standard coming from KZbin, whose response to this drama has been widely criticized - but I also believe the community at large is missing an important piece of the puzzle.

As someone who watched Jacks videos and joined the Livestream, a lot of information about what Jacksflims was actually doing is missing. He wasn't doing this JUST to get on her nerves but to actually support the smaller creators thats she stole from. He had creators she stole from in his chat, he gave them advice, support them in issuing tickets to KZbin to have the videos removed. He celebrated when those smaller creators won! The channel and live stream BINGO has now turned into more support for those creators. People submit videos for the kive stream, getting tios, support and even the deserved credit to find new watchers. Jackslfims wasn't doing this because he hated or disliked Snipperwolf, it was because he knew has a bigger creator, as a "KZbin golden Child" he wanted to speak up for these smallers creators. I know these take forever for Andrei to make, so here are some bonus details.

Well not to take as side here as i haven't watched either side,but if jack is using a channel to target sniperwolf,doesnt it fall under harrassment as stated in the video? Doesnt jack followers would start hating her and some small dude brain might go into her dms to abuse her??

@@TheDigitalAppleOfc Sniperwolfs actions were proportionally much worse than Jacks but if youtube were to punish her, they would be obligated to punish Jack aswell, otherwise Ssniperwolf would pull up to KZbins front door with a team of lawyers I would rather have this outcome over Jacksfilms having one or both of his channels temporarily suspended But yea im with you this sucks and I wish they would give Sniperwolf the boot

[@UlfDerDritte]

I'll be honest, I don't really see how JJJacksfilms breaks those community guidelines, he never "targets, insults and abuses" Sniperwolf for any "intrinsic attributes". Behaving in a scummy way, cropping out credit, etc. is not an intrinsic attribute, it's behavior, which Jack critiques through satire. As for the second one, it should be quite obvious that the channel was not made with the goal of financial gain.

[@marivexx]

exactly. he never insulted her or abused her at all - it was all constructive - therefore making it okay with tos

[@surrcram]

This video was a big miss

[@true_rapturemega654]

He made countless videos on her. FYI if you make videos on there content you're still talking about them. And he made multiple videos along with a channel based on it

[@ithuvarada]

That's what! I heard that one time, his chat kept bringing up her ongoing lawsuit with her ex-husband. He promptly shut them, stated that that's none of his or their business, and the focus is only on her content and content style. When he appeared on the H3 podcast, Ethan asked him about the threat of having his channel terminated. He said the same thing there too. I think it should be pretty clear to everyone by now that he isn't going after her personal life, appearance and non-KZbin-related drama.

[@pdw1230]

​@true_rapturemega654 that's one of the things though. Yes, his channel was created due to sinperwolfs name but he made commentary on that channel about tons of reactors before letting it go dormant. Then sniperwolf went after him on Twitter and he definitely decided to go after her content then ONLY AFTER Lia decided to call him out on Twitter over things that aren't true. And the videos look like a lot (and this is where I'll concede there are a lot of videos he made over a few weeks or so, which can definitely be harassment) part of that reason though is they are stream highlights cut up. He wasn't making new videos everyday, just spacing them out over a week and cutting them from a couple hours to 15/20 (maybe 30) min videos

[@JuGrNaught]

bruh did you really just compare Leafy with Jacksfilms? Those are COMPLETELY different circumstances. Leafy was harassing Pokimane, yes, but also has a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of harassing others, including encouraging self-harm. Leafy was one of the absolute worst creators and was harassing others IN BAD FAITH.

[@Clone-up2ge]

yeah, what jacksfilms did was fair use. Not to mention the fact that even if he was breaking the TOS somehow it doesn't excuse youtube for not banning someone that literally doxxed someone else on their platform, which is something a smaller creator would have been instantly banned for

[@pemanilnoob587]

Yes! And jacksfilms videos were all about the creators and giving them their voice, they weren’t really just about sssniperwolf as a person

[@diamondleo5136]

I somewhat agree that he went too far with the number of videos he made about her. However, I must admit that I don't like her as she is a bad person. Nevertheless, she is at fault for going to his house instead of keeping the argument on KZbin.

[@TimedRevolver]

Dude literally made an entire channel just to focus on her videos. He should have made it a channel about tackling lazy reactors as a whole, not just her. That whole 'critique' idea loses water when the entire channel was just HER. And this is coming from a guy who called her out for being a doxxer on her social media.

[@SMmania123]

Comparing legit doxxing to criticism on the internet, is one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen KZbin do. There's no question about doxxing being harassment or not. Jacksfilms has constantly critiqued her content, but never did anything remotely closely to actual doxxing. I mean this is like peaches and baseballs, they aren't really all that comparable.

[@TheBlueElephant111]

its not criticism, it's harassment, but it's still incomparable

[@foop2954]

Regardless, while JJJacksfilms does post content primarily about SSniperwolf, it wasn't the sole source of content. He reacted to some of his own stuff, other creators, and got weirdly meta about it before stopping. He only restarted after SSniperwolf reinstated it, and now has transitioned to a completely different style of content.

[@dannygrover595]

@@donleo8899 Yeah that's what I thought.

[@le_epic_]

There's a really big point that should be addressed regarding the line between criticism and harassment you mentioned: Not once did Jack ever want to go after her because of her looks or even her controversial past (going as far to silence those on a stream who taunted her big lips or surgeries because he knows low-hanging fruit would be stooping down to her level) He was going after her CHANNEL strictly because of the CONTENT being nontransformative and lacking substance to make it fall under fair use, not to mention the lack of crediting creators AND that she never once asked for permission Not only that, but he did this expecting a change and got something more: Besides certain clips being claimed and taken down, people have voiced their concerns on any big KZbinr freely taking other people's content no matter if it invaded privacy, which included MANY times where SSSniperWolf mocked minors who later commented on the stream to express their anguish and intimidation on having no control from having themselves exposed (not even the worst thing she did with minors) This is often left out or unnoticed when addressing whether Jacksfilms was "harassing" even though he never did something that counts as harassment (at most, he just kept saying "Shame on you" on something that should be addressed) and was in the right to constructively criticize her content if it meant making a change and making that behavior known If he only made 5 videos on the topic, people would not think it's obsessive, but it took dedicating a series of streams that turned her videos into something substantial by making a game of it because she was always aware of these problems and did nothing about it for there to be a consequence so that more people were aware about what should be acceptable for these content thieves

[@vamanayana]

Yes! Even when his audience used to ask him to talk about her divorce with her husband, he would turn them down and tell them to concentrate on critiquing her content. He has made it clear countless times that he's not after her but her content.

[@aurone7235]

*thank you* you are so so right

[@dragonshiny7321]

Meanwhile in the reply section: great points, but Jack making a channel to credit the creators and criticize Ssstalker for her "content" is bad and he shouldn't have done that. He should have just made 2 videos about her and leave it at that since that *definitely* works

[@pinkuisntniku6521]

You summed up my perspective but I'm 90% certain that Andrei and most people who covered this situation never watched jack at all

[@DraakjeYoblama]

The moment he mentioned that people might not like his opinion, I knew exactly where this was going, and I knew exactly where his arguments would fall flat. I've seen too many people claim Jack was in the wrong too because they fundamentally misunderstand what he was doing. Even though Jack made it explicitly clear what his intentions were. The KZbin guideline highlighted in this video is "Repeatedly targets, insults and abuses an identifiable individual based on their intrinsic attributes across several uploads" Video quality is not an intrinsic attribute, and Jack went out of his way to not comment on things that she couldn't change.

[@0utFox]

You say that Jack technically violated ToS with his dedicated channel and videos, but the word "technically" does a LOT of heavy lifting there. There's a difference between targeting and insulting Sniperwolf and parodying Sniperwolf. Jack's YT career exists in a major part thanks to parodies. He also didn't do it for his own personal benefit, but to spread awareness about a problem that Sniperwolf represents. Jack also isn't YT's golden child I think. He's a valued creator, sure, but Sniperwolf makes the site a ton of money, and despite this not being her first rodeo (she was charged with armed robbery in the past and had videos with her asking underage teens to twerk in exchange for showing them her boobs (videos are now deleted)), KZbin keeps turning a blind eye to her escapades.

[@crazybird199]

That's pretty much what I think, too. While I think Jack did break TOS here, SSSniperwolf broke this little thing we like to call "the law." And yeah, I think she's being protected since she makes YT a crap ton of cash.

The difference with Jacksfilms "harassing" her, he's criticizing her. He doesn't go out of his way to say she's ugly or say her room or the way she talks is bad, he's criticizing her stealing others work. So let's say you spin it like he's harassing her, the difference between him and her is he would admit it could be viewed that way and apologize. Sssniperwolf not only wouldn't apologize but she made fun of doxing him.

[@darthjc4]

The difference between criticism and Jack's "criticism" was it multiple upon multiple videos about her content. Criticism is giving your opinion on something and your problem with it. He gave his opinion, she didn't change her content, yet he kept making videos about her. He KNEW she wouldn't change so why continue to make videos about her? He even made a parody channel parodying her name. Do i think she had the right to do what she did, no but he should've stopped a long time ago.

[@mrjotz]

Saying that the reason Jack didn't do any more SSSniperwolf bingo videos was because he was in the wrong is ignoring a ton of other factors for him stopping. It could be that he doesn't want to further provoke someone who is mentally unhinged and doesn't play by the rules of polite society. It could be that he is building a court case and was advised by his lawyers to not make further videos involving her. In the video that Jack announced that he was going to be doing Creator Bingo, he even said that he and Erin have been scared to leave their house for fear of being attacked or worse. If the thing you're doing unjustifiably provokes someone to do something crazy and dangerous, you kinda don't want to further provoke that someone to do something worse. Also, Jack's videos were not harassment. They were rightfully critiquing her content (making his videos transformative and not going against the TOS) and calling out literal content theft. If SSSniperwolf got permission from the creators, or at the very least credited them, and provided actual transformative commentary, Jack would have moved on to other things and maybe even applauded her for taking steps in the right direction.

(weird thing btw) And what SSS do? put in risk the life of the person who exposes her, not even talking to them before, just directly D0XX, sounds like something only a gang or even a mafia only do or smth, this wasnt a "Both side fault" thing, youtube shouldve took this more seriously and terminate SSSniperwolf a long time ago before all of this started. and a temporal demonetization?

[@JoeToff]

The "JJJacksfilms" YT channel isn't against the Terms of Service because of a detail in the line: "...targets, insults and abuses an identifiable individual based on their intrinsic attributes...". The "based on their intrinsic attributes" is what separates Jack's videos from someone like Leafy's (constantly putting *that* Pokimane picture up and having a whole section where he just says she isn't hot as a "valid criticism"). Jack never made any attempt to ridicule her based on her appearance. The problem and critic was strictly on her content alone.

[@nictendo463]

The thing is Jacksfilms never did anything against KZbin’s terms of service. Looking at the rule you used as an example it clearly states KZbin is against insulting someone’s “intrinsic attributes” which is something that would be go beyond professional criticism. The reason leafy was banned was because his videos were mean spirited and personal, he would do stuff like shit on pokimanes appearance. Jacksfilms never criticized sssniperwolf for anything other then her content. He never made comments on her appearance or her past drama. Basically he never insulted her intrinsic attributes so he never broke the terms of service.

[@NeoisiBunsterCh]

I am going to say that I strongly disagree with Jacksfilm harassing SSSniperwolf. Yes, he did a channel and a bingo card, mocking elements of SSSniperwolf, but many of those are not “Abusing an individual”, like terms says, its mocking the content, and I think there should be a BIG difference and acknowledge to that. I cant talk about leafy’s situation, as I never actually heard that, but I have seen JJJacksfilm. His whole bingo is about how easy and repetitive SSSniperwolf content is, and you can think this was a little to extreme to make his point, and I can understand that, but he never took things personal. Before the bingo he even had deleted tweets of SSSniperwolf demeaning Jacksfilm by his looks, if you compare that to how Jacksfilm talks about her content, you can really see who is the harasser. To be honest, when KZbin talk about “Both sides” I question, how about channels that have thousands of videos criticizing bad shows like High Guardian Spice, or the ones criticizing Marvel, Star Wars and Disney? Because its clear that people who work on that has been accusing the channels of harassment and hate towards the creators. If Jacksfilm criticizing SSSniperwolf content means he is harassing her, shouldnt the channels that have hundreds of videos about how bad the new movie “The Marvels” are, shouldnt it count as harassment towards the people who made that movie?

[@crazybird199]

Now hang on a minute, there. This video didn't say the JacksFilms channel should be terminated over SSSniperWolf's. It merely explained the "both sides", which KZbin failed to do. While I agree with you that if Jack had done the crime he would be banned, I would say the money matters more than her gender. I'm not saying her appearance didn't get her a big channel and thus give KZbin more money. I just don't think gender is the main factor in KZbin's greedy little mind.

@@crazybird199 You’re right the video didn’t say that, but that’s not even what I said. I said that he “began to suggest” that Jack should be banned by bringing up how Leafy was banned. So you agree that had Jack done what Sniperwolf did he would’ve got banned yet you still don’t think it has to do with her gender, how does that make any sense?? As the guy in the video said, both of them are “KZbin’s golden kids” and it’s not like Jack had 27 subs so had KZbin terminated him that would’ve also resulted in less money coming in for KZbin. You can’t say that Sniperwolf being a woman wasn’t the main reason she got off with a slap on the wrist especially in today’s crazy woke political correctness world. And even if you want to make the argument that KZbin was only soft on sniperwolf because she is making more money and has more subs and had she been a dude there would’ve been no difference keep in mind that many companies, like for example Disney, have put pushing wokeness and protecting certain people over profits.

It's hard to say exactly what is happening inside of KZbin HQ, but I don't think public relations are the primary concern of KZbin.

[@Fey_Yoshida]

12:17 watched through the entire vid. Just gonna comment, The ToS did not apply to Jack’s work. It was fair criticism and never went past her videos. He never mentioned any incident outside of what her videos spoke of and never asked his viewers to attack her. though he did implore them to contact the original creators of the works so they could claim their videos and have them removed by SSSniperwolf, he never told them to do anything else. In the end, the issue lay solely on SSSniperwolf… Jacksfilms is actually, while invited to Vidcons and the like, Kinda being pushed out of the inner circle of KZbin creators as well, meaning that the claim of him being a “golden child” kinda becomes tarnished… In the end. Jacksfilms was in the right to make at least his FIRST video on SSSniperwolf. Maybe one or two more as updates, but the BINGO game may have pushed things just a tiny bit too far in other directions.

[@klinxium8627]

[@firefly3003]

A bunch of other people in the comments have already said it, but I'll reiterate it as I was there for a lot of Jack's livestreams. What he did was direct smaller creators into flagging Lia's content for using their videos without permission. A lot of her uncredited video content came from kids or other smaller creators who had no knowledge of her using their content for her own gain. This wasn't him attacking her and he would even often get mad at his chat for attacking her personally rather than talking about her content. He turned it into a fun activity instead of being hateful about it. Do you have any idea of disturbing it is to see Lia go from just being this person that stole content that he and other's critiqued to an actual threat? This isn't even the first time she's done something like this, but this is the first time that a big platform and a bunch of people downplayed her actions.

[@ScarySkele]

Jacksfilms wasn’t demonetized while Sniperwolf was and only after the backlash so, I say Jack is in the right & Sniper definitely in the wrong.

I just read through all the Community Guidelines regarding Harassment and Cyberbullying and I disagree that JacksFilms did anything wrong. I watching all his SSSniperwolf bingo videos and (for the most part) his criticism was focussed on the content and not the intrinsic attributes of the individual. Although he made many videos 'targeted' at one person, there is no specific bullet point that he violated, whereas it's clearly stated that posting PII (personally identifiable information) is against the rules.

The difference between what Leafy and Jack is that Leafy used Pokimaine's name and image to drive his "Girl gamers/ thot streamers bad" audience to watch his videos.

TLDR: Leafy did it for hating someone because WOMAN, while Jack did it cuz Sniperwolf was a psychotic, narcissistic thief

[@tenthant]

I'm sorry Andrei, but no. Jack was not violating either of those things you highlighted in "Monetization and other penalties," as the things he was making fun of ONLY involved her content and not her as a person, and thus also NOT inciting hostility at all. How she takes criticism of her content is on her. I've never seen Veils content but I would bet that he was making fun of Pokimane as a person on top of her content.

I put some thought in the jack harassment arguement and i realized something. Jack didnt harass her at all he made videos that critqued her but she could have ignored him.

He started the stream with normal sniperwolf bingo, but after 40-ish minutes (if I remember correctly) went on to do the same to XQC and said he would continue doing this but to other "react" channels. He was clearly changing the direction from only sniperwolf content to criticizing the freebooting creators in general.

I'm glad to see long format videos again. Shorts are cool but this allows for a deeper dive into videos

[@oneproplanet]

Respectfully, I disagree with the argument that Jack's content is against TOS. Based on KZbin's TOS, expressly stated by KZbin(KZbin answer 2802268 on Google support), the only attribute of harassment I believe this comes close to is, "Repeatedly target[ing], insult[ing] and abuse[ing] an identifiable individual based on their intrinsic attributes across several uploads." This is one possibility cited in the video. However, use of, "intrinsic attributes" is later indirectly defined in the segment, "Using an extreme insult to dehumanize an individual based on their intrinsic attributes. For example: 'Look at this dog of a woman! She’s not even a human being - she must be some sort of mutant or animal!'." Had he been directly or indirectly insulting the way she looks or dehumanizing her, I would have agreed with you. However, he was criticizing her content. She overreacted. In addition, under this TOS guideline stated above, you need to, "Repeatedly [target], [insult] and [abuse] an identifiable individual." While Jack may have (arguably) targeted her, it is my belief that he neither insulted nor abused her. TL:DR; He criticized her. She took it as a personal attack and overreacted.

[@drakenastee]

A bit of an update on this situation as she’s been found out to have done more then just this whole situation: It’s been very much suggested and as each day goes by more and more proven that Lia aka SSSniperWolf has actually been stealing more then just videos…but possibly a whole person’s likeness, AzzyWorld who does similar videos but actually has constructive feedback to reacting rather than stating the obvious has been for a while now had her likeness, her video structure and just genuine portrayal copied by SSSniperwolf, as of recent she came out and said this has been happening for a while now but because of her being smaller then SSSniperwolf she was always accused that she stole off her, now Azzy has lived in the US her life while Lia moved from the UK to the US and adapted a accent as time went on and along with faking her gaming videos caught wind of Azzy and began adapting to be similar which Azzy caught wind of and asked could she stop which Lia accused her of copying, now of course with the following she has many flocked to her defence and Azzy was ultimately made to be the guilty party. Azzy tho regardless has shown to not fully let this stop her and has been doing so much for her fans like for instance donating $100,000 of her own money to charity to aid sick kids, going out of her way to buy some presents for Christmas with no bad intentions but only because she genuinely wanted to bring smiles while in comparison as said in the video Lia was asked by one singular dying child if she would come see them as a wish and GHOSTED them with her then trying to act and say it wasn’t wrong of her to do so. like straight away you can see why many already believe this too be true with Azzy having proof as well on her end. Also no disrespect to you Andrei but if you were to look at the comparison to what Jack did its honestly not even a contest as under the same guidelines in which KZbin made clear she put the life of Jack/John in danger and as such under the same guidelines would of been immediately terminated as a channel, another KZbinr joked on twitter about doxing KZbin staff which was obviously seen as a joke and was demonetised without any chance to argue, no what Jack did was under the guidelines would be categorised as constructive criticism or feedback hence why JJJacksfilms was made as he also made it a mission to credit those who she didn't, this is why many were and still are furious with KZbin as they essentially looked the other way to protect her because she with the amount of traction she gets from "fans" it was them trying to defend a cash cow. Like It’s honestly astonishing that she is very much getting away with all this and no repercussions whatsoever have come out of this, like this woman is showing more and more that she is more destructive and a threat to KZbin then something she should be protected, she has police reports of actual crimes she’s has committed, shown to be a stalker with Jacksfilms and ultimately shown her true self to the public yet KZbin isn’t acting on this because it's a lost to their financial gain…..this to me is insane and so bias bigotry that is laughable.

Still, though, there is a "both sides" here. I wish KZbin would've explained the Jack's offenses instead of leaving it ambiguous in their Tweet. I'd say JJJacksFilms moving away from that kind of content is a good idea for all parties, though. I don't think you covered enough, however, that KZbin had banned creators from their platform for crimes irl. I do think that SSSniperWolf is getting special treatment. Maybe not to be called KZbin's "Golden Child," she wouldn't have been punished at all then, but there is some serious stuff going on behind the scenes.

[@floofusdoofus]

But he didn't violate the terms of service though. His actions weren't harassment; he was providing critiques on her content, which is permitted by the TOS. While repetition could be a point to consider, it still seems like a far fetch because each of his videos is distinct; the only common thing being the motive i.e. critiquing her content. Applying the same logic, creators consistently playing Dhar Mann bingo with his videos might also be seen as violating the TOS, yet they haven't faced consequences from KZbin. The initial videos of JJJacksfilms were clear parodies, which comes under fair use. And every channel on KZbin has some motive or the other, so that also checks out.

It wasn't about her, it was about her content. Also, initially, "Jjjacksfilms" wasn't even about Sssniperwolf. Yes, it was named in that same style, but beyond that it wasn't about her. It was only after she decided to attack Jack on Twitter that the whole Bingo-thing began.

Ain’t no way you’re saying what Leafy did to Pokimaine is the same as what Jack did to Sssniperwolf. Leafy went after Pokimaine’s person, insulting her appearance and everything about, and putting her in thumbnails for vids she was never in. Whereas Jack went after Sssnipwrwolf’s content, he didn’t insult her appearance and anything else about her, just her content. Even the TOS that you mentioned says “Repeatedly targets, Insults and abuses an identifiable individual based on their intrinsic attributes across several uploads”. Repeatedly targets by itself is not a violation, Leafy was kicked off the platform because he repeatedly targeted Pokimaine AND insulted her in those vids, it wasn’t just because he repeatedly targeted her but because he made several videos insulting her based on her intrinsic attributes. Jack never went after Sssniperwolf’s intrinsic attributes, and therefore didn’t break TOS. Furthermore some people think that making that many videos is too many, but I disagree, each vid not only showcases how she doesn’t change when she is criticized but it is also a constant method of giving credit to the creators that she’s stealing from as she continues to make more videos without crediting the creators.

The fact that she got away with it sends away a terrible message towards other creators to do something even crazier maybe even murdering someone

[@MaksB.]

09:17 "In some rare cases" So sometimes it is against the terms, sometimes it isn't. Considering KZbin didn't warn Jack, he is not at fault.

[@KoalaKaiju]

Jacksfilms was making that content to credit the creators that she was stealing from but his videos weren't malicious he was spreading awareness

[@geministrial950]

Malicious or not, that still goes against KZbin's TOS

[@moniquecash]

She didn't "almost commit a crime" she DID commit a crime

[@josephthomas367]

How in the hell is Jack breaking ToS? Repeated criticisms are not harassment. The man literally calls out content theft and ironically makes it adhere to ToS by adding on to the videos. What kind of delusion is there that Jack has done something wrong by just calling out someone doing something bad??? I'm sorry but like.... no. It's just plain delusional to think this is a "both sides" kinda thing.

[@AzureJoems]

As frustrating as the situation is, I'm glad that the conversation around this is still going.

Im new to the channel and you are the best animator from Romania

It feels like a lot of videos made on the topic are (understandably) tried to be made as soon as possible before the drama dies out, which means that the people making them don't have time to watch what jjjacksfilms ACTUALLY put out. Probably at most a few minutes and maybe even 1-2 videos were watched and by seeing the amount of content talking about sssnipierwolf put out it's easy to come to the conclusion that what he's doing probably counts as harassment in some way. The thing is, he NEVER really harasses her and mainly helped a lot of small creators after what sssniperwolf has done to them by using heir content, sometimes her comments (or lack of them) and mainly lack of credit. What sssniperwolf has done was purely emotional and has NO ground to stand on.

[@Ludacris2800]

understandable that in KZbins POV we can see that what Jacksfilms is breaking ToS and that you could agree that he is a "golden child" of youtube. The difference is that Jacksfilms has become a household family name on KZbin because he EARNED it. He has dedicated his entire life being a KZbinr within the confines of KZbin's standards properly. He has good morals and he has been consistent with how he portrays himself rationally in the public. He fights for what's right in the KZbin community, and he made JJJacksfilms to hammer in the point of what SSSniperWolf is doing is wrong. The public universally agrees that SSSniperWolf has done absolutely NOTHING to earn the recognition she is getting and the preferential treatment KZbin is showing IS the problem, compounded along with the increasing amount of receipts of SSSniperWolf's rotten behavior for the past few years. This is making KZbin an uncomfortable platform to stay on for creators if people can get away with criminal activity as long as you are making a lot of money for KZbin. This is why so many people are trying to make sure this issue cannot be swept under the rug. It seems like everyday there is news of SSSniperWolf's bad deeds and a lot of the commentary community are signal boosting these videos because they understand that the slap on the wrist SSSniperWolf got is not enough (not to mention the fact she's avoiding the "punishment" by using her MONETIZED secondary channels and reuploading there). This IS a complex situation, however the only reason it is complex is because we're seeing more and more of who SSSniperWolf truly is. It's pretty clear cut for the public on who is truly in the wrong, it is just disgusting that KZbin doesn't do anything despite this fact. And another thing to note is that when previous KZbin creators, like The Act Man, joked about doxxing youtube staff in response to another creator harassing his family with no repercussion from KZbin, he IMMEDIATELY got punished for it. You can clearly see a double standard KZbin has shown to everyone and no one is having it when this dangerous precedent clearly affects the majority of KZbin creators.

I love how you properly explain everything for us to understand.

[@jonathanplooij3666]

KZbin is like the teacher that punishes both the bully and victim

[@heinztomatoketchup1534]

yeah comparing what Jack is doing to Leafy is fucking insane. Leafy had a history of just straight up bullying people, encouraging self-harm, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and more. Jack is just calling SSSniperwolf scummy and making satire out of her scummy behavior. it is not at all similar.

[@imhereforfun4300]

my thought was Andrei should and probably will make a video about this situation and here you are😁❤

[@colekarrh9114]

Nice to see some more long form content from you again

[@Pir-o]

The difference is Jack did nothing wrong. She steals content while Jack does the same thing with her vidoes (that are not even hers) but he gives credit back to original creators. At least his concent was transformative. Her wasn't. Also she broke the law, he didn't.

[@Rihcterwilker]

Jjjacksfilsms channel was fully on the side of fair use, and can not be categorized as harassment, in any way. He was never disrespectful, never made personal attacks or false claims about her. Just watching one video is enough to see that he used to make entertaining content while offering legit constructive criticism of her lazy reactions.

[@afirarvm]

Great point of view for this drama Andrei!
