Skeppy, a popular Minecraft gaming video creator on YouTube with over 6 million subscribers, was accused of predatory behaviour in a Twitter thread published by a burner account on April 9, 2022, as he was simultaneously being "cancelled" by his fanbase, and thus the larger MCYT and Dream SMP fanbase online, for recent questionable or "edgy" jokes based on a variety of controversial topics, including domestic abuse. Tonight's episode of the ScythedCreates podcast investigates whether any complaints about Skeppy's situation were valid - given that many people still consider his actions "unforgivable" - and also relays the allegations levelled against Skeppy, their plausibility, and my personal reasons for why Skeppy didn't do anything wrong in this situation and, as a result, shouldn't have been pursued to such an extent by his younger, activism-driven fanbase for his actions.

Plehxify, the #2 ranked player in Call of Duty: Vanguard, was caught using wall hacks in a recent game he streamed on his Twitch channel on April 10, 2022, immediately following an almost identical situation a few weeks prior, in which Kenji, a player for Grand Canyon University in the College CoD League, was permanently banned from said league on March 29, 2022, after also using wall hacks in a low-stakes wager on the Checkmate Gaming platform, on which he was playing during his stream. In the inaugural episode of the ScythedSpeaks podcast show, we explore the Call of Duty cheating epidemic, the Ricochet anti-cheat system's shortcomings, cheaters' ridiculous excuses, and why the matter should be addressed, as well as how to do it; the continuing problem of cheating not only affects regular players, but also serves as indirect fraud when considering situations where the other party does not know hacks are used in a wager - such as Kenji's $4,000+ worth of earnings before his ban.
