Hey everyone, it’s Leaflit! In today’s video, I react to Rev Says Desu’s clip “Twitter Freaks Tried To Cancel Markiplier And Quickly FOUND OUT” — where some users on Twitter decided to cancel Markiplier after a few AI‑related leaks. The issue? A harmless use of ChatGPT during his podcast and a mistakenly used AI-generated stock thumbnail.

I go full critique on cancel culture here—calling out how people weaponize outrage over basic tools like AI. I’m firmly supportive of Markiplier: he’s transparent, creative, and used AI thoughtfully, not exploitatively. He even went on a livestream clarifying his position, stating he opposes unchecked generative AI and the environment-harming practices behind some AI systems. He explained the thumbnail incident was an accidental stock image from his editor, not a willful AI-only moment.

I also bring in context from the broader cancel culture discussion: according to the cancel culture concept, social media mobs often ostracize people over minor issues. In Markiplier’s case, criticism quickly ballooned—classic moral panic territory. Tech analysts have pointed out that most cancel culture outrage is over blips, not real misconduct.

I share fans' perspectives (like one Reddit comment: “AI is not a boogeyman… All AI is, is a tool.”) to highlight that his truly supportive audience wasn’t falling for the outrage machine.

Ultimately… the cancel attempt didn’t stick. Rapid pushback showed how nuance gets lost online, and why jumping the gun on canceling can backfire.

Why This Reaction Matters
I provide calm reason instead of fiery outrage—because too often, cancel culture amplifies small mistakes into career-ending debates.

I'm supportive of Markiplier’s smart, critical approach to AI—instead of blindly worshiping or hating it.

I highlight the real risks of AI behavior (environmental, ethical) while calling out cancel mob logic.

I make this video search-friendly and tag-optimized so viewers searching terms like “cancel culture Markiplier AI” or “Leaflit reaction AI controversy” will find this fast.
