Here's the backstory for anyone who wants to know about why the Vocaloid (and wider vocal synth) community hates her. I was on Twitter that fateful day. One of my mutuals wrote a huge Google doc correcting her, and after your original video released, I ended up finding an article she plagiarized for the Vocaloid video.

As mentioned before, she made a video about Vocaloid in 2021. It was riddled with basic factual errors, and actually what caused myself and many others to stop liking her and start analyzing her content more critically. She actually had a fit and yelled at a bunch of Vocaloid fans for trying to issue corrections. Here's the list of errors she made that I could spot, if anyone is interested.

- Stated that Miku is canonically always 16. Miku's age is for marketing purposes and her publisher has stated her age is meant to be fluid and she can be a jaded 87 year old if you want, along with literally everything else. Crypton says Eldritch Horror Miku is canon compliant, everyone!

- Failing to cite song lyrics for the song "Miku" by Anamanaguchi. Literally just reads them out without context.

- Blair forgets how Japanese name order works at several points in the video and uses character's family names as their first names, and people's first names as last names.

- Throughout the video, Blair implies that the Vocaloid software is only used by EDM musicians. This is untrue. Not quite a factual error per se, but still an incredibly dumb error to make because it could be dispelled with even 5 minutes on YouTube. There's a particularly large metal scene in the Vocaloid community, for example.

- Mispronounces the name of "Kenshi Yonezu" as "Kenshi Tansu" for some reason

- Cites a fake news article announcing the creation of a Hatsune Miku anime

- Cites UTAU as being a commercial-ish competitor to Vocaloid when it's really more the Audacity to Vocaloid's Adobe Audition and is community-driven by the creation of free and open-source voice libraries

- Cites LUCIA and LUAN (a pair of Spanish voicebanks for Vocaloid5) as being created shortly after Miku's creation by a new creator named Giuseppe. LUCIA and LUAN were created by an employee of the company that Yamaha partnered with for Vocaloid's development affairs (VoctroLabs). They were also announced about 10-ish years after Miku's release. She cites another Spanish Vocaloid, Clara as being from a competing company when in fact she was a Vocaloid3 release by VoctroLabs. They also were cancelled midway through production and never released.

- Cites that the two first Vocaloids ever created, Leon and Lola, are commonly depicted as white by the fandom despite being voiced by Black singers. While this is TRUE, she leaves out that they were portrayed by white stock photo models on the boxart by Yamaha and Zero-G (their publisher), and Zero-G did not confirm they were voiced by Black singers until over a decade later, failing to acknowledge the hand the two companies had in the whitewashing of these vocalists by the Fandom. As old fans have become the people making commercial vocal synths, it is now considered an industry standard to portray characters as being the same race as their voice providers.

- She cited the story of a Korean producer named SeeU being harassed out of the Japanese Vocaloid community. SeeU was not a producer. SeeU was a voicebank for the Vocaloid3 software, capable of singing in Japanese and Korean, with plans for English support. She never received any updates due to a mix of anti-Korean bigotry in Japan, financial troubles with her publisher, and her voice provider (Kim Dahee of the kpop group GLAM) having legal troubles.

- Misattributes the late Wowaka's record label as "ballroom" when his record label was actually "baloom"

- Uses a Google translated title of one of Wowaka's songs as "Front and Back Lovers" when the official translation is "Two-sided Lovers" or "Two-faced Lovers"

- Cites a FANDOM WIKI BLOG POST asking people to credit Vocaloid producers instead of the Vocaloids themselves as the idea of crediting producers being a new-in-2021 idea, when in reality it has been considered standard crediting practice since the early 2010s that one should cite the producer, as saying a song is by Miku is like saying a song is by Piano or Drum machine.

- Cites VTubers as being an evolution of the Vocaloid software. I should not need to tell you why this is incorrect.

To this day I am still angry at myself for having been taken in by the facade she built around herself. I had thought that she was a person who genuinely cared about the wrongs and injustices of the world, and assumed that people who criticised her were either the people who supported the things she criticised about (shady charities, MLMs, conspiracy theorists etc.) or those from the so-called "anti-woke" crowd. In fact when this whole controversy against her first came to light, in my mind I was still somewhat doubting those who were exposing her, and was willing to give her a chance to properly defend herself.

My mind started changing when people took apart her "iilluminaughtii exposed" video, then additional exposés against her were made afterward; it was sealed against her when, in the aftermath of it all, instead of coming out with hard evidence to disprove the claims against her or to sincerely apologise and take a pause to reflect on her actions, she instead deflected all of it and doubled down on pretending nothing was wrong. The additional videos, tweets, and other exposés against her - including what we have here - have made me extremely ashamed to had ever held her in any sort of positive regard, and has made me just that more suspicious and wary of the people I come across.

My shame over this was great enough that not only did I unsubscribe from her and remove all of her videos from my YouTube favourites and playlists (even my private ones), but I took the extraordinary effort to remove all of my comments on her videos as well. That last point seems to have become moot though, given that she has disabled comments on all her videos now to try and silence her critics while still pretending that nothing is wrong.

I am genuinely disgusted at iilluminaughtii, and I am even more genuinely disgusted at the people who still support and side with her after all this. I actually subscribed to the four people she hurt the most out of all of this - The Click, Oz Media, One Topic, and Wonderstruck - not long after unsubscribing to her channel just as my own way to spite her and to also support the people she hurt. I believe I also subscribed to Cruel World Happy Mind - another person she hurt - for similar reasons as well.

I genuinely hope iilluminaughtii gets her just desserts for all she has done, but given how unjust the American justice system is I'm not holding my hopes up. That said, I hope it can at least stop her from further harming her victims any longer - none of them deserve this at all.

As he said about speaking mistakes, I usually don’t say anything when someone’s voice bothers me — but in this case, illuminaughtii’s voiceover work is her JOB, and moreover it’s the ONLY part of her job she actually has to put the barest amount of effort into. And she trips over her words constantly, she has this weird tone that’s both monotonous and full of unnatural emphasis, and she literally sounds like she’s about to fall asleep. It’s exactly what happens when people read blocks of text without absorbing anything, and they end up sounding like one of those unbearable tiktok AI voices. This is the ONE thing she’s supposedly bringing to the table. And it actively makes the product worse.

I remember, because her character is recognizable, to have watched one or some few Videos of her some years back. Only now, watching this video, I remembered the feeling that made me not want to watch her after that; it was exactly the monotony, the apparent lack of care and simply obvious low-effort production, comparatively to other video-essayists, stuck out to me - however, that the root cause was this blatant misbehaviour didn't even cross my mind.

He manages to sound both self-important and snobbish and like an ailing, exhausted 75 year old professor who’s about to keel over in the lecture hall. I barely got through the voice overs of his Hbomb provided for his video, because I wanted to tear my ears off listening to Somerton’s unbearable droning. Even the way he pauses towards the ends of his sentences is annoying, cause it’s clear he’s trying and failing to sound like the thoughts he read off are his own.

The moment I knew Blair is full of shit was her video on the online alternative/rave fashion store Dolls Kill. There are so many ACTUAL problems she could have talked about, but she starts off by mentioning a Consumer Reports demographic article claiming that “young teens” make up a large portion of their customer base… and then spends the next 16 MINUTES exaggerating that point into “Dolls Kill is marketing sex to children”. She even goes so far as to analyze their (obviously exaggerated and edgy) marketing and claims that they’re literally instructing kids to be sexual, violent, and do drugs. I mention this video a LOT in comments, but it’s genuinely the most audacious thing I’ve heard in one of her videos.

A few years ago I became friends with a person on twitter who wrote freelance articles. One day she bragged to me about how she could spend a few hours in the morning googling about a subject, then write an authoritative article on the subject that afternoon before moving on to her next article. She cited one of her articles to me in a discussion about an area of pharmacology that I earned a Ph.D. in and had published original research on. I'm sharing this story because she reminds me of illuminati - doing a very shallow dive into a subject area, then plagiarizing/misunderstanding other people's work with no real clue about how lazy, inept, and Dunning-Krugerish they are.

Was she really framing it that dramatically, though? That's what I do for a living. In my experience, most of us know it's a pretty "jack of all trades" situation. It's interesting how many topics you can get introduced to in a day, and the content you're writing is essentially as authoritative as it needs to be, but it's also short. It would never make for a 10-20 minute video, they're usually articles that basically summarize information as an introduction to a field and then link sources that provide more info. And the clients are usually involved in said field, so you'd hear back if anything was improperly fact-checked. It actually sounds like your understanding of article writing might be even more shallow than her understanding of pharmacology.

I only barely watched her- my mom thought she was fun- and my breaking point was her zoo video. Where she claims that restoration programs for certain species are scams and says that zoos are inherently cruel. Every. Single. Thing. She said was wrong. Stolen from animal rights activists blogposts and hack articles.
As a zoology student with a focus in conservation (specifically of insects) that video boiled my blood. She made (stole) a video about why PETA is bad, only to spout their most infamous, untrue talking points . Shitty slop fearmongering videos like that make zoo conservation work that much harder. Its infuriating.
I left a long comment on that video, taking the benefit of the doubt and assuming it was a ghost writer spouting the misinfo... Nope. All stolen. Sickening.

As for PETA themselves, all you need to know is that its a far right group that uses animals to justify bigotry, all while violently abusing animals themselves. They steal pets from peoples homes to mass euthanize them, claiming an animal is better dead than kept as a pet. They show human and animal gore to children and random people on the street as a "campaign" method. Theyre terrible people.

A shady thing about illuminaughtii also is involving her sponsors. I remember when DailyHarvest had a huge recall of their newest food items made of beans? I can't remember, but they were handing them out at a convention and a bunch of people got horribly sick. People who bought it online or had it as a freebie in their orders also got sick. It took a while for DailyHarvest to react appropriately as in immediately recall, they were kind of acting liek they didn't know what anyone as talking about and it wasn't their fault until they couldn't deny it anymore. Anyway, illuminaughtii had a long standing relationship with DailyHarvest and all she said was "i'm looking into it behind the scenes" on twitter after being hounded by fans who were seeing it all over the internet. And then.....nothing. She never publicly just stated "I'm no longer partnering with DailyHarvest because they didn't handle the food poisoning event appropriately and I don't want my followers to get harmed." It just....was dead silence after that. I don't even know if she stopped promoting them right after that event since I stopped watching her much before that scandal but I was like at least make a twitter post. I know the few videos I saw after that (before the Sad Milk) no longer had Daily Harvest ads but I wonder if she just....kept running whatever videos she needed to do for Daily Harvest contractually to get the payout rather than just sever ties and miss out on a payday.

Like food recalls happen. How quickly a company responds or if they immediately blame the consumer even if it's like multiple food poisoning reports of ppl opening fresh packages stored correctly...determines whether the company really cares about the consumer. And Daily Harvest didn't do great and if I was an influencer, I would've dropped them publicly and warned my viewers so they didn't order something without ever seeing the recall as they are new customers so they don't get the company emails.

She always mentioned she had co writers, kinda assumed she had them do shallow looks into stuff on a schedule (script due Monday, next one due next Monday, that kind of stuff). It's definitely doable, she already quotes a lot in the videos so that's huge chunks off. Honestly I don't even know why she even bothered plagiarizing what's in between, it's literally easier to just write a segue

I watched Blair's videos for quite a while without looking at them that closely. I noticed once in a while she might say something strangely or phrase something inelegantly, but I put that down to YouTube accent / laziness. What finally broke the spell was one gaff that hit me like a kick in the teeth. I think it was in the Fyre fest story, where she mentioned "SXSW." Now, when you read that in your head, if you know anything about that festival, you said "South By Southwest." But Blair didn't. She said "Ess Ex Ess Doubleyou." And she said it 2 or 3 times like that. I have never heard anyone else in the world make that mistake. That struck me as beyond lazy, like she really genuinely didn't know what she was talking about. It was around that time the stories started coming out. And here we are.

I’ll never forgive Blaire for her vid on Gloriavale. I was already mad that she used actual journalist’s work to make up 80% of her video because I remember when those pieces were aired for free because the journalists themselves believed the content to be so important that they were willing to make very little money off of it. She did no research on the country she’s talking about either, I would know, it’s my country. She mispronounces people’s and place’s names which I would forgive if it was hard to find proper pronunciation or if the phonetics were difficult but Te Reo has the same vowels as Spanish, it’s not hard to pronounce and they’re pronounced correctly in the mini-documentaries that she’s ripping off. Then there’s the way she behaves as though she’s uncovering some massive secret, that New Zealand is trying to hide their insane cult. Or that we’re doing nothing about the blatant abuse and just ignoring the problem. I discussed this piece with someone only to find out that they legitimately thought all of us just didn’t care. That the entire nation looked at this horrifying situation and went “well, the victims say they’re okay so obviously nothing is wrong”. AND THEN theres the kicker. Her video is like a year old, those documentaries/news stories she’s ripping off are mostly a decade or older out of date. They were important and accurate at the time but those pieces themselves inspired a larger scale investigation now and most importantly, the monster that lead it is now in a pine box.
Instead of framing the piece as idk, a retrospective, maybe something exploring how the documentary and news stories created this cultural change. Blaire instead frames it as if nothing has changed in the past decade and exploits the stories of people’s trauma to make her poorly put together summary that at best is a decade out of date.

Iilluminaughtii's videos were always lacking on critical thinking, opting to tell a narrative of "deplorable people" for entertainment purposes, made for hateful people that loves clapping mindlessly when their biases are validated, rather than an honest and well researched dive into the ideological systems of oppression that make such people rise in the first place.

Ironic how, at worst, she liked to paint villains and now she's painted as one, and at best she's an example of how badly sourced and plagiarized the YouTube sphere is and how it is contributing to misinformation and disinformation.

I appreciate you trying to steer clear of pointing out people's mispronunciations in general, but you're absolutely correct to underline it during an examination of plagiarism. In college, I worked as a writing tutor, and we heavily encouraged students to read their writing aloud to us. Not only did it help them hear how their writing would sound to an audience and lead them to catch their own mistakes, but it also served to call out possible plagiarism when they couldn't pronounce or define half the words they claimed to have written.

@UD503J

On one hand, I tend to give people leeway. The effect of not knowing the pronunciation of a word you've only seen in print is widespread enough it has a term - calliope syndrome. On the other, I think you're exactly correct. Someone who's doing enough research would have taken the time to learn the pronunciation of at least the major terms being used in the presentation.

Like many people in this comment section, I had a brief phase of binge-watching her channel (mostly the mlm stuff, while cooking dinner). But I remember quite clearly the moment I realized what a hypocrite she was. It was when she had a sponsorship for a credit/loan company. The whole thing sounded really predatory and not that different from all the shit she was "reporting" on. Also she was the only person (that I was watching at the time) that was sponsored by them. I can get behind the squarespace and hello fresh and whatever else but advertising to her viewers, telling them to take out a quick and easy loan with this super-simple and totally trustworthy online bank just felt hypocritical and against her supposed morals.

I got COVID in the summer of last year, ended up working from home for an extended time, and stumbled upon her MLM content while looking for longer, podcast-type content that could play in the background and where I could go from one to another without having to do too much searching.

I can't remember what the exact moment was that did it for me, but I didn't stick around too long, and I remember that when she got away from MLMs and into taking on bigger corporations and social issues I started to get the feeling she was just lashing out at things for clicks. I don't recall catching her in any particularly sloppy factual errors or anything, it just started to feel kind of shallow and sensational? Which in retrospect, gawking at MLMs having a 'Super Platinum Double Executive Level' isn't particularly deep or anything, but it is entertaining and you don't need a while lot to prove MLMs are bad.

...and I also remember having really bad deja-vu after I stopped watching? I kept getting suggestions for her new video on whatever MLM was being covered, and going "I know she did a video on that, and not that long ago!" I didn't circle back to confirm, but that left me with the vibe that she was just recycling and repackaging her old videos for easy views and hoping people wouldn't notice in large enough numbers.

The internet obviously makes it stupidly easy to plagiarise, but it also makes it that much easier to prove when somebody is lifting huge slabs of text or voiceover from other people's work. I don't know what blows my mind more: that content thieves think they won't get caught when receipts are trivially easy to obtain, or that they have endless vapid excuses & even flameouts when receipts are piled up in front of them.
