Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than ~~MH27~~ MH17

I was a big fan of Illuminaughtii/ Blair Zon for a long time. Now she's so controversial, other creators make content on her.

Is it "controversial" to be a plagiarist now? Depending on how it's done, it's edging on a crime or a full blown crime, rather than controversy. I don't really think there's much to make an dispute about.

That said there's certainly a lot drama about her, not that I've looked at any of it. So I am not in the know of anything that's going on, beyond the plagiarism.

There's a lot of legal stuff and then generally the way she treats people (especially people who were supposed to be her friends, employees or housemates) is pretty controversial, but technically not illegal yet. She tried to take Oz's house away from him through convoluted legal practices and used her power over him to turn him in to a slave.

The way she treats people isn't "controversial", either. Being a shit stain of a person isn't controversial just because it hasn't crossed the line into being illegal.

What you mean to say is that she's polarizing, because she has fans that don't realize she's an awful person.

She gives rise to public disagreement, I think she fits the controversial definition as well, but I didn't realize I was supposed to be pedantic when I comment.

I just started getting into Illuminaughtii when the controversy started. I stopped watching her, but was on the fence because at the time, ONLY drama channels were talking about her. The easiest info to find all had a profit motive for her to be wrong. Now that the issue has expended to a wider area, it's pretty clear that she is a plagiarist.
