Part 4/10:
The Targeting of YouTubers and the Evidence
The controversy took a darker turn when media outlets like Looper posted, then promptly deleted, a video highlighting these YouTubers as sources of hate and bigotry. Screenshots and clips revealed that Looper accused critics like Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic of encouraging hatred, suggesting their reviews fueled the fan outrage.
However, independent observers quickly pointed out that Looper's claims were a misrepresentation. These YouTubers
had simply voiced their opinions on the show's storytelling and contents. Their critiques ranged from pointing out plot inconsistencies to questioning the show's ideological aspects—common practices in media criticism rather than expressions of hate.
