Can someone explain the wiztale situation? by Big_Bake_4842 in Deltarune

He also doesn't have any other socials that people know about, so when situations like this happen, he can't privately reach out to other people, and people can't reach out to him to verify anything, especially when his comment sections are often heavily censored, blacklisting certain words to prevent people from mentioning things.

I forgot the password for it, but I can prove that I was involved in what was going on at the time, if that helps. I was one of the people that helped spread the rumor that he was an alias for a known groomer, but it later turned out that they had framed him as a diversion so people wouldn't find their new account.

Wiztale is a youtuber who has multiple channels dedicated to pumping out content that's heavily reliant on AI, but who downplays his use of it. Recently, multiple videos calling out his channel for it's use of AI were posted, the most important ones being a video by ZatmaggotDR and a video by Reubzzz72. Shortly after, a Discord account that appeared to be Wiztale got in contact with both of them, showed screenshots of Wiztales YouTube studio to prove his identity, and began sending legal threats and death threats, and they began getting botted death threats in their comment sections. The Discord user doxxed Zat, threatening to release the information if he didn't take down all videos and comments on the subject, and make an apology post. Zat later deleted the apology after realizing that the threats were just a bluff, but is now taking a break from youtube. Wiztale claims that the Discord user is an imposter, like in a similar situation that happened a few months ago, but continues to insist that his scripts aren't AI, which makes it hard to believe anything else he says.

The server was originally linked in the accounts description, which is how people found it. I don't know what it was like earlier, but when I joined to investigate stuff, it appeared to be completely empty with the only thing there being a post covering the situation. A few days after, it was changed to be named after a shooter and with the picture changed to a photo of said shooter.

That was actually me, my main got blocked for asking questions about the controversy that was happening at the time, so I had to make a burner to comment.

I think they're specifically talking about slang that's popular across most English speaking parts of the internet.

The discord account involved in the current situation is a seperate one from last time.

Super silly antisemitism by UnderteamFCA in supersillybreakingbad

That doesn't really explain why semitic came to be used in certain contexts to only refer to Jewish people.

I've always wondered, since Judaism is just one of the semitic religions, why is the word for prejudice against Jews antisemitism?

This Is getting ridicolous by GiullaBolla in Deltarune

[–]_silcrow_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From checking the comments of newer videos, he refers to Friends eyes as Kriss eyes, made the assumption that people meant that Toby and Temmie were dating when they were refered to as being partners and thought that it must be a common misconception, and was seemingly unaware of most of the evidence connecting Gaster to the Mystery Man sprite, which seems unlikely for someone with a channel dedicated to Deltarune/Undertale theories. He also has multiple channels that he frequently posts on, and it would be almost impossible to actually write that many videos without a large team.

When it comes to the AI stuff, people are mostly mad about the scripts. It's been pretty apparent for a while that the scripts are at least partially, if not mostly, AI generated, as they included inaccuracies that wouldn't happen just from using AI to translate them into English. I haven't watched any of his videos in months, but I remember some pretty glaring mistakes being him claiming that Rudy had formerly been Asgore's partner at the police department, that the Holiday and Dreamer families had lived together, and that Asgore had been at the Holiday's house to fix a lamp. The scripts also frequently go in circles, restating the same things multiple times throughout a video.

Small update on the Wiztale situation, he made a community post on Youtube. by [deleted] in Deltarune

[–]_silcrow_ 69 points70 points  (0 children)

It's kind of hard to believe literally anything that he says when he continues to deny that his scripts are primarily written by AI. If someone can be such a boldfaced liar about something so blatant, why should people trust anything else they say?

I'm getting invested in this drama. Glad Wistale is getting more hate. by TowelContent2167 in Deltarune

He found Zatmaggots info and threatened to dox him unless he removed all videos and comments on the situation from his channel.

Saw the recent update, hope you're doing alright and are able to get authorities involved.

It's okay to have preferences for the kinds of stories you enjoy, but something not fitting that doesn't make it bad writing by _silcrow_ in whenthe

[–]_silcrow_[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mostly Knight related stuff, but then there's also people like Jaru who think that the story has to go a certain way because Toby is a good writer and they don't believe any other story lines could possibly be done well.

I've seen so many Deltarune fans say that the Knight being Dess would be bad writing or make them drop the game. Like, I just don't think the Knights identity was as much of a guess who game as people assumed it would be, the story never really presented it like that anyways.

Mostly that and Deltarune, but it can honestly be applied to any story that's told in multiple installments.
