Hi I'm Christy_ Cad or Chad on here I'm a 25 year old who was enjoying a game called para space. Is it alright if I tell you that the game itself is like vr chat but has a lot of toxic people who harass others. I ran into to by the name of crackrabbit. And he asked for my discord. I told him I would think about it but have in because I saw an interest . I have a picture of him and was discussed by what I found. It was my ex boyfriend from many years ago and i was shocked. He was playing with other women and being a manipulator to others . I had one player that was a female install me for no reason and I didn't fully understand till I got the truth. I hope this game gets it's own topic and I wish people the best who played it . Stay safe.
Update on ASMRurette: she is now an independent filmmaker and graphic artist, and on her social media she said she’s never coming back to do ASMR videos. At least we know she is alive, well and happy.
IIRC one of the channels re-uploading her old videos, who was/is in contact with her to get her okay for the uploads, said she vanished because she got doxxed. Apparently something in one of her videos gave someone enough of a clue to find her IRL.
as a person who listens to asmr it's awful that animal abusers and weird/gross content are able to hide behind the label of asmr. i just want to hear relaxing sounds 😭
Learning about Pet ASMR was heartbreaking, especially that video of the dog eating peppers. I cannot even begin to imagine doing something like that to any of my pets. I absolutely love them and they’re part of my family and seeing others just use them as a workaround and basically abuse them is beyond disgusting
Seeing a husky owner force-feeding their dog (including chili) was a painful sight! I mean, the original concept of a pet eating safe-for-animals food in regular portions has the potential as a part of cute animal video culture. But overfeeding and force-feeding is unethical and it hurts to see how people make these videos and how many more people like to see this type of content 💔💔
Report them, any babies "Cats, Dog, Human" content report them as child abuse & harmful content, UA-cam do remove it after two days a week max, I always report it "Any kind of video, funny, pranks, ASMR, etc" Animals & human kids shouldn't be on internet for views
As someone that has went down to rabbit hole of ASMR roleplay before, there’s literally a ton of content that ranges from wholesome to full blown NSFW that’ll make you question things about yourself or form some type of addiction from it. I also can understand how people could use it as a coping mechanism for their social anxiety or loneliness, but it’s should never be used as a bandaid or replacement over physical human interaction too. Because at the end of the day, we’re all social creatures while no man’s an island.
The only weird thing i've seen in asmr so far is the jojo and ghetto case. Ghetto is probably mentally sick at this point, and seriously needs help. It's actually kinda disturbing to watch. Not nsfw or anything tho, just him having mental breakdowns in the middle of his videos and streams, and being violent towards people especially jojo for no apparent reason.
@scarletgoat173 it can be a lot of different reasons, social anxiety, adictions, work, trauma, lack of self esteem, mental or physical desease. it's easy to fall behind others in life and then get trapped down there. I myself am completly hopeless to ever find a relationship, I have been lonely for to long to ever learn how to be a good partner. it obviously makes me feel really bad so I use ASMR girlfriend roleplays to cope with it. It became an addiction and now I am permanently stuck. I feel more close to the imaginary girlfriend I have created in my head by listening to ASMR than any women I ever met in my life. You probably see me has a fat guy who lives in his mom's basement 24/7, but in reality I look like a normal dude, I workout and take care of myself. But I feel extremly lonely
The animal segment made me heartbroken. Seeing that dog forcefully eating hot chili pepper, while not knowing that the dog could literally lose its sense of smell or taste due to how sensitive their noses are. It was freaking crying for god's sake. These people are disgusting.
Dude. I don't know if it counted as asmr, but there was once a video I saw of a cat eating a raw chicken drumstick, and right next to the cat was a small baby chick eating a berry. Now, I completely understand the circle of life, I know how things go, cats are obligated to be carnivores. But there was something I felt was vicerally wrong about that situation. Like come on was that really nessasary?
DUDE i was literally crying during the part where the people overfed their animals and when the woman tortured animals too this is the first video that made me cry
I had to close my eyes. I'm a big big animal lover, and the thought of them being forced to eat way more than they ever should and feeling their own bodies being destroyed from the overeating is just torture.
She's gotta be one of my favorite ASMRists on UA-cam, the others being Moonlight Cottage, Dreamscape, Made in France, Caroline and Ting Ting Edit: Almost forgot one, ASMR Twix.
I've always been into the chill ASMRtists like Jojo, Ephemeral Rift, Latte, etc. mostly just to close my eyes and listen to the audio to relax me for a bit before bed. I never knew this disturbing side of the community existed. I'm quite appalled that UA-cam would allow these kind of videos to slide
@@badryaauw-oc9hb he said some very controversial things on Twitter and people are concerned about his mental state as his odd behavior seemed to come from nowhere
That's because a good chunk of the ASMR community is women that do girlfriend roleplays because they know their audience is lonely and probably insecure men and boys.
No wonder why my hair's been rising lately. I guess I've been into too much ASMRs these days. We appreciate your insights. You really go into detail with every single one of your explanations.
I hate how many people assume ASMR is just a fetish thing. Millions of people listen to ASMR. Do people really think it’s a fetish for every single one of them? Just because someone doesn’t understand it doesn’t make it sexual. There are totally people that like it for those reasons but I genuinely believe it’s the minority of people.
I do think it's odd that alot of the sounds center around noises women mostly make. Tapping nails, breathy whispering makeup brushes. If it was just about the sounds why do so many focus on women only?
@@strayiggytv Because there's more women that are content creators instead of men in this community, plain and simple. Also, since when is "breathy whispering" a women thing...?, and personally, I'm not even comfortable with male voices in the context of asmr except like 4 creators or so
People need to understand that though there’s definitely a weird side to ASMR content, some of it isn’t bad and sometimes it’s actually helpful. I like to play cafe ASMR in the background of me working and rain sounds help me sleep ( sometimes the videos where they build houses out of clay and sticks in the wilderness help too), but I DESPISE the mouth sounds and mukbangs
Same here. Those need to be removed, as do the ones where the thumbnails and content are NSFW. Why is it so hard to just dress DECENTLY, even if that kind of content sells? I really do think it has something to do with the world's flat out obsession to anything NSFW... Regardless, have some damn dignity for yourselves and DO NOT go down that route, and I wish UA-cam would remove those videos. Also, the only good "ASMR" videos are repeating mechanical noises, or rain that's not overly loud.
@@TheRaven-WingGaming tru but there’s a difference between literal nsfw audios and asmr. stuff like mouth sounds can exist without being nsfw and a woman wearing a tank top doesn’t automatically coin it as sexual
I love ASMR to help me sleep but like the really vanilla stuff like head massage, hair brushing, Spa role play, fluffy mikes etc. ASMR role play maybe if it’s like wholesome or story based (you know like audiobooks). Especially when I was really depressed as a teen I liked those because they were comforting but they never replaced human interaction at any point.
That's why I only "watch" Zeitgeist and Made In France even tho I sometimes "watch" Jojo and others but those two are my main supply, and I understand that not every asmrtist is good with what they're doing, but whenever I listen to those roleplay or something that just involved talking and nothing else, I feel weird
I recognised Zeitgeist’s head microphone during some of the flashes from other channels haha. He really is wonderful, it takes the vanilla type of relaxation stuff but adds a little bit of extra pizzazz and fanciness ✨ lol
@@ZikedY I’m a Buddhist myself but I’ve never heard this chant before? The chant seems like Japanese so maybe it’s a branch of Japanese Buddhism. I myself am a Thai Buddhist so I don’t have much knowledge about other countries branches but this is odd.
I listen to asmr quite often and had no idea about all but one of these examples. Saying it’s asmr as a whole that’s the issue is like saying the whole of gaming on UA-cam is bad if one creator ended up shooting someone irl. These bad apples aren’t a representation of the whole
Yeah. Especially the segment about that one guy being a creep and being on drugs? Like, that had nothing to do with ASMR? It felt like a weird inclusion.
i was there for the whole jisu asmr situation, i’d tuned into most of his streams when everything had been happening. during the streams he’d verbally abuse his fans, he’d scream at them for wasting time on his stream instead of donating. at one point he’d targeted this one girl, he said he’d sue her and dox her and stuff. i’m pretty sure she was a minor, but i don’t remember well. i was young when this went down, i assume most of the other people were too. it was really messed up. theres been a lack of context or even mentions of this happening since 2021. if anyone has anymore context to this situation i’d like to hear it
omg i actually watched one of his streams like a few months ago and i was shocked by how rude he was. he kept bullying this one girl and telling her to kill herself it was so crazy to me
I remember this! His first video asking for help got so popular that it was pushed to my recommended, even though I didn’t follow him or any other ASMR channels. But I felt so sorry for him that I kept following his story after that and would tune in to his livestreams to check in on how he was doing. At first I thought his behavior on the lives was from stress from the situation he was in, but it kept escalating to a point where it couldn’t be justified. Even before this incident, I’d seen people complain how Jisu was purposefully racist/offensive at times. So at least some of his bad behaviors weren’t from the alleged stress of that situation at all, since they’d always been present in his content. At some point I began to wonder if some of his lives during that time were even live or just looped videos, because some of them would just be an ominous close-up on something indecipherable with muffled noises no one could understand. Which was unsettling for someone that everyone at the time was worried about his mental state/if he would continue living. His silence as thousands of people, many just kids, begged and pleaded for him to live and not end it all was just…unnerving. Even though I don’t like accusing anyone of faking their story or doing things like this just for attention/money, I grew skeptical enough that I quietly backed out of following his story so closely. Sometime later one of his more recent videos was pushed to me and I was glad that at least he seemed well. But the entire situation and the ambiguity of it all still puzzled me. It’s something we’ll probably never know the full story on.
I have been listening to ASMR since 2014, I miss what the community was and I HATE that now when people hear you bring up ASMR they automatically think of all the bad things brought up in this video.
Fortunately, quality content is still getting made. I follow many active asmrtists like Gibi, Amy Kay, Goodnight moon... But it's shocking that content like this is getting viral. I didn't know about those creepy animations but I fear they seem to be aimed towards a very young audience.
ASMR is basically like white noise. Like a fan can be considered ASMR. It's all the same. It can make you tingly and it also can soothe you. Like for me with my insomnia and PTSD, every night I turn my fan on and it actually helps me sleep. And when the nightmares wake me up, it doesn't take long for the fan to soothe my mind and calm me down and put me back to sleep.
While both can be useful relaxation tools ASMR is triggering a very different brain response than white noise. I think a better description for ASMR is "it's like a brain massage with audio".
jojo got demonitized because of showing content THAT WASN'T DEMONITZED BUT SHOULD BE. youtube is so damn unfair, they're so greedy, they should do something.
Fart ASMR????? I've been listening to ASMR since 2012 and luckily I never came across that ... I honestly just like old school ASMR, quieter voices presenting art projects, crafts, explaining interesting stuff ... just for means of relaxation. I feel disturbed by a lot of weird role plays, specifically personal attention any sensual content and trigger collections don't relax me either. I am mostly drawn to unintentional ASMR. But at the end of the day the ASMR community is still the most supporting, troll-free and lovely community online! You find weird stuff in almost every UA-cam subculture if you dig deep enough.
a title like "ASMR Community: Dark World Behind the Whispers" makes asmr sound like something bad, instead a title like "ASMR: the weird parts" would make ASMR seem less like some sort of secret fetish, and more like a mostly positive, but partially bad community
Damn... I watch some selected, smaller ASMR channels occasionally, so I had no idea how messed up some parts of this community got... Fantastic video as always, though! This is some really high-quality stuff
ive been hooked up to these, i mean it. I couldnt go an entire day without listening to ASMR at least 50 times, of course at night too. Its just so addictive, but its easy to stop watching it too
that.. is honestly disgusting.. im happy that i stay with actual ASMR creators (yes ASMR RP included [SFW]) like ASMR Zeitgeist or others. very informative video! they are very educational and once again show that sadly.. every good thing has a dark side too.. cant wait for the next possible topic! subbed
i personally love Roleplay ASMR videos, but not the flirting kind. I love the ones about stuff like doctor exam, haircut salon, sleep clinic appointment, stuff like that. Also i only watch anime asmr, especially now with vr chat, there's great creators.
I understood flirting (I’ve seen reaction videos) but the doctor and clinic stuff sounds…a liiittle odd. But maybe that’s just because I use normal nature ambience for sleep, lol
@Aesos3429 they sound weird, but the long form ones are set up similarly to like spending a night in the hospital and having the nurse check up on you whereas the short form is mostly just questions with "follow the light" triggers and ear triggers. The titles seem weird xD but the actual content isn't any different than personal attention videos.
Few comments here, Jisu ended up becoming a very toxic person towards the end. There was also an asmr artist whom if I'm not mistaken took her own life. Her name was Cloveress.
I can easily describe the time when I first came across jisu. It was an aggressive asmr. About killing a roach. In which the camera us watching were the roaches. I followed him, I watched ever single video he posted. I commented on countless videos. He liked many of my comments. He used to like many and many other comments. The one day, he just stopped. No likes, no replies, genuinely nothing. I at that moment became concerned. I often asked if he was okay. I’ll never forget the videos about crying for help. I felt so gutted. The man deserved peace and happiness. I laughed often at his videos. I never found them calming or peaceful. I thought they were just genuinely hilarious. And I watched him and loved his content. I 100% believed what he said. Now looking back. I am not so sure what to believe.
I had no idea about the story behind the rebrand of Jisu to You did a great job today - Heartbreaking to hear. I was a fan of his when he was still Jisu, and stopped watching shortly before his breakdown. I remember refinding his channel as YDAGJT and thinking the rebrand was just because he said it so much in his videos. Really sad to hear how he put himself in a situation likely close to debt to keep making videos, and I'm glad he is prioritizing mental health now.
It's sad to see how every community somehow has its dark side. I have a friend who watches (or rather listens to) a lot of ASMR videos on basically any social media platform. While I personally am not such a great fan of the classic ASMR, I do enjoy the roleplay ones. I have a few creators I follow and I use their videos often when I'm trying to sleep. Especially since I'm sharing a room with my father who's always having the TV running the entire night, so I partially use the ASMR to drown out the noise. And it also just makes me feel a little bit safer and calmer to feel like there's someone there with me (someone else than my father that is. That guy is a complete stranger to me. And I don't like him at all).
Not ASMR related, but the graphic stuff can also be seen in some mobile game ads. Goes to show how far people are willing to go in order to make money.
Thank you for making this video. I had a favorite ASMR artist, and I loved her because she would take you into a different world every time and it was a way for me to escape mentally and also get sleep because of the mental health issues causing me to struggle with sleeping. And now it is all I can find is inappropriate ASMR and it makes me so frustrated.. especially because the artists I would watch were very talented and they would put months into one video just to sell the story. It was like a fairytale come to life.
16:56 Poor babies. I have a cat named Ginger Beans and I would never over feed him or force him to do anything. He's my best friend and child. The dude needs me to survive and I am responsible for his life. He is my emotional support as well and I am his. This whole video is disturbing. There are some evil people in the world using the Internet to hide behind their screens to hurt others. If communities actually cared enough to restrict the abuse instead of the innocent people this wouldn't happen so often. Makes me wonder if the people who run UA-cam are part of the abuse and that's why they are attacking innocent people instead of taking down the abusers.
omg i used to listen to a lot of anime asmr in the past, and i used to listen to akiradubs and morphyva (and other bnha asmr, there was a surprising amount of drama in the bnha asmr community in general that i knew about, from people like yagami yato, chaos pm/xaid asmr/kadenaudio, xix rin iii, bear’s audio emporium, etc.), i’m surprised to see this here! i remember when that drama went down, but never figured out how it exactly ended since akira still seems active, I’ve stopped listening to him since the drama came out about him. nowadays i only listen to azeruofficial mostly, his stuff is just *chef’s kiss* for genshin fans
I remember that one unsettling muck bang channel, it was Kate Yup, people were very worried about her, worrying and questioning if she was kidnapped or needed help or it was all some act to get more views, and i was one of those ppl who were worried.
The creepy and gross animations you mention at the end are just like those flash games that were all over the place in the 2010's. I wonder if it's the same people making them.
Maybe interesting for you. AsmrDarling, aka Taylor, had a conplete meltdown during a breakup some years ago and was posting really weird videos. People thought she may have been hacked by her ex or being stalked, it was even on dramaalert. Might be interesting to look into, i remember the community was very worried for her!
IM SORRY BUT WHEN U GOT TO THE AKIRA DUBS PART WITH THE GOKU AUDIO AND THE INTENSE CINEMATIC MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND I COULDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND I"M STILL LAUGHING AS I'M TYPING THIS WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY HELPPP 😭😭😭
Omg i had no idea about this. I only listen to ASMR for mukbangs, sleeping, and to help my anxiety (whispers, tapping, and storytelling) had no idea this demonic ish existed in this community. WTF?!
Ngl, I question your sanity if Mukbangs are something you actually enjoy... Go to mechanical and machine noises. Trust me, it's more consistent, and makes it easier for things like just a box fan in the background to be one and not have any issues.
By the way, ASMR as a sensation doesn't have to be from sounds. It can be from anything, including touch. I don't get ASMR tingles from sounds, but if someone plays with my hair then I do
asmr can be so wholesome and nice. my favorite subgenre is the cooking sounds and drink mixing ones. i can watch a barista pouring ice and coffee into cups all day, it's literal music imo. it's the internet and it's sad how there will always be these weird niches that will make their way into your recommends and searches. I wished there was a way to filter them out. As an adult, I can see how certain subgenres can have a market, but when the content itself is questionable, it's easy to wonder if the creator and their viewers are just trying to get away with shady stuff.
Ngl, this guy has the best editing in the world and should have a Netflix series. I watch his vids every time I can and he deserves better than UA-cam. Btw, I saw the premier, and the chat was… Well… W chat to say the least. :D
I started watching ASMR videos since 2017 and I love it. The roleplay section is my favorite, however I watch other type of roleplay videos than you depicted here. I don't get tingles, however it does make me sleepy and it also helps me to make my headaches disappear. Some of my fave ASMRtists are: - Ting Ting ASMR - Peace and Saraity ASMR (the first Channel I ever watched) - ASMR Zeitgeist - Twix ASMR - Several Korean ASMRtists like Soy ASMR - JubileeWhispers - Lizi ASMR Even Jisu's videos are some of my favorites 😢😢😢
I actually just discovered Lunarexx recently, and I've been tuned in to ASMR for 2 years now. But like every other topic in the world of UA-cam, there's always gonna be darksides.
I have a severe form of tinnitus. Extended silence can and will cause me pain. I listen to ASMR to sleep and prevent waking up with a splitting migraine. I don't care how dangerous it is. I'm gunna continue to use it to sleep. [EDIT] Now that the video is out, yes... There are some fucking weirdos in the community. I don't listen to that kind of stuff. I normally listen to things like rain, reading, or pretty much anything by Frivilous Fox ASMR (except the mouth sounds stuff. That stuff is weird).
Ah yes, parasocial relationships. I admit some of the ASMR artists I follow are quite good-looking and sure, if I ever got to meet them (in a normal, not creepy way of course), it would make me very happy. But that's it. I know they're basically strangers to me who have their own lives. I listen to a lot of roleplay ASMR videos. So for me, even if I know what they look like, I'm actually bonding more with their version of the character they portray, rather than with the person behind it. Nothing wrong with seeing someone and finding them cute (I always call people cute. Not handsome, not beautiful, just cute.), we do that with celebrities all the time. As long as it stays at a ,,Hey. They look cute. Anyway, moving on."
We gotta stop demanding that channels be taken down. Even if crimes are being committed, so be it. Let every criminal upload and post evidence. It only makes it easier to hold then accountable. Censorship is always the wrong choice. Always. It's parents job to monitor that their children do online.
Bro how are you making this high quality content with absolutely outstanding editing and still only have 277K subscribers. You should have a lot more. I just don’t get it.
ASMR helped me sleep when I was dealing with unaliving thoughts, insomnia and depression. I couldn’t sleep without it. I’m better now but I was so grateful.
Those ASMR animations are disturbingly similar to those bootleg Flash games where you perform medical procedures on popular characters. I am convinced there's a link there, but I'm afraid to find out, lol.
I remember being recommended all those channels for *months* and found just the thumbnails weird, so blocked them one by one. But they are super persistent and there's *so many of them.*
I discover asmr around 2-3 years ago, and I've been hook to it. I've seen some strange stuffs on youtube but damn... I didn't know this was existed way back and this big!
I went down the Animated ASMR rabbit hole a while ago. I think the problem is best shown by Angne ASMR, whose early videos were pretty benign animations of basic spa treatments, but have gotten nastier and nastier over time because, well, that's what people apparently want to watch. I generally stick to about five channels I know I like and don't venture out much because there's too much cursed content out there.
I rarely if ever watch any other ASMR channels other than ER- who's a weirdo in his own right! But, knowing there's an actual darker side is pretty crazy.
There is also one that has been stalked for years now and recently her stalker returned and is saying all sorts of crazy shit whenever people tell him to stop such as getting his fans to attack them or threaten them. He's been banned from every restaurant near him and even has an arrest for assaulting his ex girlfriend. The ASMR artist is Karuna Satori (she's allegedly done stuff (nothing horrendous) and she was in a pretty rough spot when she was younger, but again, nothing heinous), but the man has been targeting her young children now to the point where he waits for them to be dismissed from their school. It's almost like he was waiting for her to get her divorce finalized to strike again, it's terrifying.
actually, she has done heinous stuff. she's an anti-vaxxer egomaniac who neglects her children, was partly responsible for the death of Cloveress, and has actively harassed and targeted smaller creators and people who criticize her under the guise of being an innocent angel when in actuality, she's a narcissistic bully who virtue signals.
There have been many ASMR creators who have had stalking situations unfortunately. Many no longer create videos and I’m guessing the stalking aspect was at the very least partially to blame.
1. "ASMR can't be a permanent solution". But it is a permanent solution for falling asleep. For some it works and for some it doesn't. It slows my brain down and I can go to sleep after a few minutes. For someone with ADHD it's often either this or meds. Every single day. So IT IS a permanent solution, cause it's way better than meds. 2. If ASMR works on a person it can reduce stress and even pain, make them happy and content. That tingling feeling means that the brain reacts to it and releases all kinds of good stuff into the blood stream. It can become addictive but it's harmless and even good for your body, unlike drugs or alcohol. And it's mostly free to watch. I don't see a problem tbh... 3. It's always easy to criticize and show only the dark side. Just the way some ASMRtists make their content more outstanding in a bad way - you also do that to gain more views. You aren't talking how helpful it is, you're not promoting someone that you enjoy, you just criticize and talk about "the worst" because that will give you views. You obviously don't listen to it and it doesn't have an effect on your brain. So if you don't understand or get it - how can you properly criticize it in the first place? 4. I'm not a fan of mouth sounds and especially of mukbang but ig many people enjoy it. I won't comment on that. People have different tastes and needs and it's alright. Animal cruelty - isn't. 5. ASMR stories and anime characters - it's the first time I'm seeing those creators and videos that you've showed. I don't know why your UA-cam feed is like that. 😂 There's A LOT to chose from. And I'm only making/am interested in spicier ASMR and/or BL stuff specifically. It's a narrow niche but there's a lot. It's a very creative space, basically a storytelling through sounds and dialogues. I think it's amazing, like a new form of art that is still developing. 6. ASMR in general is an art. And I think that only those who are a part of it in some way can judge it. You kinda need to know the art to be a good art critic and I'm not sure you are, sorry. And I think that the cancel culture might be going too far and forgetting what the freedom of speech is. That would be an interesting video I'd love to watch - cancel culture vs freedom of speech/expression. Just an idea. 😉
3. While the title implies otherwise, the guy in the video actually does seem to acknowledge that ASMR isn't all bad. He mentions "innocent creators" in one of the early sections. 6. What makes you think that being an art critic is the point of this video? You don’t need to be an art critic to say that it's wrong to scam people, make false accusations about artists, or abuse animals.
1. "It's way better than meds" ok im gonna buy some radioactive cards 2."It can become addictive but it's harmless and even good for your body" uhh technologic addiction sεx addiction blah blah blah addiction absolutely it is
asmr is amazing, what's the problem if you listen to it before sleep to feel better and sleep better? it just improves your life. I'll never stop listening to asmr. it's the best feeling.
one of the things that actually sucks from the asmr community is that faction of creators that made asmr like some sort of sofcore corn , and mand that sucks , i use asmr to sleep no to get aroused
i've always hated the eating videos.... and for me, i first experienced that tingling feeling as a child, before speaking, when my mom would draw shapes or write on my back to help me sleep. then again in the early 90s on a school field trip - this ooooold tiny woman giving a tour had a voice that had me falling asleep standing up. and of course, bob ross was always a go to.
“Dark side of ASMR community” makes it sound like good people in the community want any affiliation with those types of people. There is a dark and bad side to almost every community, like someone else said, with the good, comes the bad.
There was a big ASMR channel ran by a dude, and I remember at one point in time he was talking about SA allegations against him. Which I don't remember if anything else came about other mention... But he still went on to grow his channel. And its honestly never sat right with me at all.
19:44 finally someone talks about this. I keep blocking them but UA-cam still suggests it. Then again, they didn’t do anything with esla gate until they had no choice but to take it down
The animated asmr you mentioned at the end somehow reminded me of those elsa gate videos with the same artstyle and similar plots. The medical procedures part though reminded me of those early kids flash games. Those probably having such high views is probably because kids watch those, its colourful, loud and magical stuffs is exactly targeting children imo.
:3) I love rolplay asmr where th3 girl is a fairy giving me a makeover or playing with my hair ‘3))), or like best friend helps you get ready for a date, or those where they bedazzle makeup products. I keep forgetting that everything else exists.
I watch and listen to ASMR quite a bit to calm my anxiety and help me sleep. Mostly I watch journaling vids and trigger compilations (like ASMR Zeitgeist) and I also follow a number of roleplay ASMRtists like Gibi, and romantic audio RPers like Azeru. But it is really hard to find the good ones amongst all the awful ones. I can't stand eating vids or surgery vids, they make my skin crawl. And it's so saddening to hear that so many ASMRtists are caught up in drama like this. The animal abuse one is particularly distressing 😖 it gives a terrible name to all the genuinely good ASMRtists out there!
I'm very glad you made this video I have noticed a lot of these things on UA-cam and wondered how it's affecting people's minds I've watched/ listened to some that was totally fine and relaxing but noticed other stuff that is weird like unhealthy weird
What proves to me that your videos are good, is the fact that the cover caught my intention and the title interested me. I clicked on it without even knowing this was a VV video, normally when I see a video uploaded by a channel I'm subscribed to I click on it not caring what its about, just because its from a youtuber I like. You stand out to me, great job and continue like this! 👍👍👍
When you talked about the ASMR Anime Roleplay, The first thing that came to mind was Radish ASMR. For people who don’t know the whole point behind the channel, it can be genuinely dangerous, especially considering how it looks like every other Cookie Cutter ASMR channel. For a genre that’s meant to be relax people, It is a good subversion, but be careful about checking out the channel completely blind.

Hi I'm Christy_ Cad or Chad on here I'm a 25 year old who was enjoying a game called para space. Is it alright if I tell you that the game itself is like vr chat but has a lot of toxic people who harass others. I ran into to by the name of crackrabbit. And he asked for my discord. I told him I would think about it but have in because I saw an interest . I have a picture of him and was discussed by what I found. It was my ex boyfriend from many years ago and i was shocked. He was playing with other women and being a manipulator to others . I had one player that was a female install me for no reason and I didn't fully understand till I got the truth. I hope this game gets it's own topic and I wish people the best who played it . Stay safe.
Update on ASMRurette: she is now an independent filmmaker and graphic artist, and on her social media she said she’s never coming back to do ASMR videos. At least we know she is alive, well and happy.
At 10:44 that's gibi
@@jcdrapper3217Yes, it is. Why did you say that?
IIRC one of the channels re-uploading her old videos, who was/is in contact with her to get her okay for the uploads, said she vanished because she got doxxed. Apparently something in one of her videos gave someone enough of a clue to find her IRL.

Thank you!!! I always wondered what happened to her. I'm glad she's ok ❤️
as a person who listens to asmr it's awful that animal abusers and weird/gross content are able to hide behind the label of asmr. i just want to hear relaxing sounds 😭

Jesus.
Learning about Pet ASMR was heartbreaking, especially that video of the dog eating peppers. I cannot even begin to imagine doing something like that to any of my pets. I absolutely love them and they’re part of my family and seeing others just use them as a workaround and basically abuse them is beyond disgusting
Seeing a husky owner force-feeding their dog (including chili) was a painful sight!
I mean, the original concept of a pet eating safe-for-animals food in regular portions has the potential as a part of cute animal video culture.
But overfeeding and force-feeding is unethical and it hurts to see how people make these videos and how many more people like to see this type of content
💔💔
Can do the same thing with regular bell peppers... without hurting the damn animal.
the only valid pet asmr UA-camr is mayapolarbear because the dog actually enjoys it
its only ok if the animal is genuinely eating.
Report them, any babies "Cats, Dog, Human" content report them as child abuse & harmful content, UA-cam do remove it after two days a week max, I always report it "Any kind of video, funny, pranks, ASMR, etc"
Animals & human kids shouldn't be on internet for views
As someone that has went down to rabbit hole of ASMR roleplay before, there’s literally a ton of content that ranges from wholesome to full blown NSFW that’ll make you question things about yourself or form some type of addiction from it. I also can understand how people could use it as a coping mechanism for their social anxiety or loneliness, but it’s should never be used as a bandaid or replacement over physical human interaction too. Because at the end of the day, we’re all social creatures while no man’s an island.
right theres sm fetish content that is sold as normal stuff, i hate it sm, its uncomfortable
Thank u for sharing 💗💗💗
The only weird thing i've seen in asmr so far is the jojo and ghetto case. Ghetto is probably mentally sick at this point, and seriously needs help. It's actually kinda disturbing to watch. Not nsfw or anything tho, just him having mental breakdowns in the middle of his videos and streams, and being violent towards people especially jojo for no apparent reason.
yeah but for some people "social interaction" isn't an option in the first place
@scarletgoat173 it can be a lot of different reasons, social anxiety, adictions, work, trauma, lack of self esteem, mental or physical desease. it's easy to fall behind others in life and then get trapped down there. I myself am completly hopeless to ever find a relationship, I have been lonely for to long to ever learn how to be a good partner. it obviously makes me feel really bad so I use ASMR girlfriend roleplays to cope with it. It became an addiction and now I am permanently stuck. I feel more close to the imaginary girlfriend I have created in my head by listening to ASMR than any women I ever met in my life.
You probably see me has a fat guy who lives in his mom's basement 24/7, but in reality I look like a normal dude, I workout and take care of myself. But I feel extremly lonely
The animal segment made me heartbroken. Seeing that dog forcefully eating hot chili pepper, while not knowing that the dog could literally lose its sense of smell or taste due to how sensitive their noses are. It was freaking crying for god's sake. These people are disgusting.
The fact they attached that canned laughter too, it kills me knowing theyre cool with that
Sssome Humansss are… sssimply awful creaturesss.
These people are idiots.
Dude. I don't know if it counted as asmr, but there was once a video I saw of a cat eating a raw chicken drumstick, and right next to the cat was a small baby chick eating a berry. Now, I completely understand the circle of life, I know how things go, cats are obligated to be carnivores. But there was something I felt was vicerally wrong about that situation. Like come on was that really nessasary?
DUDE i was literally crying during the part where the people overfed their animals and when the woman tortured animals too this is the first video that made me cry
W animals
L humans
L Animal abusers L Animal abusers L Animal abusers
I think the first reply got shadow banned probably for a good reason given the comment
I had to close my eyes. I'm a big big animal lover, and the thought of them being forced to eat way more than they ever should and feeling their own bodies being destroyed from the overeating is just torture.
I had to skip that part of the video
Thank you VERY much for telling me about this. I won't be as insanely shocked as I would be if I did not see this comment.
You got me really scared at the beginning when you showed WhispersRed Asmr. She's so wholesome!
She's gotta be one of my favorite ASMRists on UA-cam, the others being Moonlight Cottage, Dreamscape, Made in France, Caroline and Ting Ting
Edit: Almost forgot one, ASMR Twix.
thats false. Though im subbed to her and she's good, she also has very very sexual NSFW content she does too..

@@LIL-MAN_theOG where can i find that
I've always been into the chill ASMRtists like Jojo, Ephemeral Rift, Latte, etc. mostly just to close my eyes and listen to the audio to relax me for a bit before bed.
I never knew this disturbing side of the community existed. I'm quite appalled that UA-cam would allow these kind of videos to slide
Well, how quickly things have changed with ephemeral rift….

Uncle EF aint so chill anymore xD
Asmr in itself is harmless, but people confuse asmr with fetish content and that's when it becomes a problem
That's because a good chunk of the ASMR community is women that do girlfriend roleplays because they know their audience is lonely and probably insecure men and boys.
No wonder why my hair's been rising lately. I guess I've been into too much ASMRs these days. We appreciate your insights. You really go into detail with every single one of your explanations.
No thats not the case
Tbh i would love the whole asmr community if they just did earrape ASMRs like what creative core did
@@Meowruo Like then smash two loud objects togheter
boy you havent even watched the video
You gotta love how this man watched the video through his futureself in 16 hours and also commented this 16 hours before this video even premiered
I hate how many people assume ASMR is just a fetish thing. Millions of people listen to ASMR. Do people really think it’s a fetish for every single one of them? Just because someone doesn’t understand it doesn’t make it sexual. There are totally people that like it for those reasons but I genuinely believe it’s the minority of people.
I do think it's odd that alot of the sounds center around noises women mostly make. Tapping nails, breathy whispering makeup brushes. If it was just about the sounds why do so many focus on women only?
@@strayiggytvwhat the hell the are you on about mate
@@strayiggytv Because there's more women that are content creators instead of men in this community, plain and simple. Also, since when is "breathy whispering" a women thing...?, and personally, I'm not even comfortable with male voices in the context of asmr except like 4 creators or so
asmr is for relaxing...women have a nature that tends to be softer and more nurturing
hope this helps @@strayiggytv
Usually, they just tap on the microphone or something, but some people are just weird and ruin the reputation for the entire thing.
People need to understand that though there’s definitely a weird side to ASMR content, some of it isn’t bad and sometimes it’s actually helpful. I like to play cafe ASMR in the background of me working and rain sounds help me sleep ( sometimes the videos where they build houses out of clay and sticks in the wilderness help too), but I DESPISE the mouth sounds and mukbangs
Same here. Those need to be removed, as do the ones where the thumbnails and content are NSFW. Why is it so hard to just dress DECENTLY, even if that kind of content sells? I really do think it has something to do with the world's flat out obsession to anything NSFW... Regardless, have some damn dignity for yourselves and DO NOT go down that route, and I wish UA-cam would remove those videos.
Also, the only good "ASMR" videos are repeating mechanical noises, or rain that's not overly loud.
Same, I also like typing asmr, it helps me with studying
Yeah mouth sounds and mukbang don’t even give any freaking satisfaction.
Fr, it helps me stim and helps with my insomnia by making me feel relaxed
@@TheRaven-WingGaming tru but there’s a difference between literal nsfw audios and asmr. stuff like mouth sounds can exist without being nsfw and a woman wearing a tank top doesn’t automatically coin it as sexual
I love ASMR to help me sleep but like the really vanilla stuff like head massage, hair brushing, Spa role play, fluffy mikes etc. ASMR role play maybe if it’s like wholesome or story based (you know like audiobooks). Especially when I was really depressed as a teen I liked those because they were comforting but they never replaced human interaction at any point.
I liked the animals eating ones for a while but now im not sure. Usually i just like ambiences like rain or nature or whatever.
That's why I only "watch" Zeitgeist and Made In France even tho I sometimes "watch" Jojo and others but those two are my main supply, and I understand that not every asmrtist is good with what they're doing, but whenever I listen to those roleplay or something that just involved talking and nothing else, I feel weird
I recognised Zeitgeist’s head microphone during some of the flashes from other channels haha. He really is wonderful, it takes the vanilla type of relaxation stuff but adds a little bit of extra pizzazz and fanciness ✨ lol
because this is a visual venture video, i'm pretty sure this video is gonna be exceptional like his other work 🙏🏻

I listen to asmr quite often and had no idea about all but one of these examples. Saying it’s asmr as a whole that’s the issue is like saying the whole of gaming on UA-cam is bad if one creator ended up shooting someone irl. These bad apples aren’t a representation of the whole
Fr kind of why I'm scared to start my mc channel
real like i had no idea that fart asmr exist💀
Yeah. Especially the segment about that one guy being a creep and being on drugs? Like, that had nothing to do with ASMR? It felt like a weird inclusion.
Who said that all asmr bad because of them?
i was there for the whole jisu asmr situation, i’d tuned into most of his streams when everything had been happening. during the streams he’d verbally abuse his fans, he’d scream at them for wasting time on his stream instead of donating. at one point he’d targeted this one girl, he said he’d sue her and dox her and stuff. i’m pretty sure she was a minor, but i don’t remember well. i was young when this went down, i assume most of the other people were too. it was really messed up. theres been a lack of context or even mentions of this happening since 2021. if anyone has anymore context to this situation i’d like to hear it
Yikes
Jisu was super bad, always seemed off and I had to stop watching the train wreck once he just got worse and worse.
MF HOW DID I NOT KNOW THIS I LITERALLY HAVE A PLAYLIST OF HIS VIDOES 😭
omg i actually watched one of his streams like a few months ago and i was shocked by how rude he was. he kept bullying this one girl and telling her to kill herself it was so crazy to me
I remember this! His first video asking for help got so popular that it was pushed to my recommended, even though I didn’t follow him or any other ASMR channels. But I felt so sorry for him that I kept following his story after that and would tune in to his livestreams to check in on how he was doing. At first I thought his behavior on the lives was from stress from the situation he was in, but it kept escalating to a point where it couldn’t be justified.
Even before this incident, I’d seen people complain how Jisu was purposefully racist/offensive at times. So at least some of his bad behaviors weren’t from the alleged stress of that situation at all, since they’d always been present in his content.
At some point I began to wonder if some of his lives during that time were even live or just looped videos, because some of them would just be an ominous close-up on something indecipherable with muffled noises no one could understand. Which was unsettling for someone that everyone at the time was worried about his mental state/if he would continue living. His silence as thousands of people, many just kids, begged and pleaded for him to live and not end it all was just…unnerving.
Even though I don’t like accusing anyone of faking their story or doing things like this just for attention/money, I grew skeptical enough that I quietly backed out of following his story so closely. Sometime later one of his more recent videos was pushed to me and I was glad that at least he seemed well. But the entire situation and the ambiguity of it all still puzzled me. It’s something we’ll probably never know the full story on.
I have been listening to ASMR since 2014, I miss what the community was and I HATE that now when people hear you bring up ASMR they automatically think of all the bad things brought up in this video.
Fortunately, quality content is still getting made. I follow many active asmrtists like Gibi, Amy Kay, Goodnight moon... But it's shocking that content like this is getting viral. I didn't know about those creepy animations but I fear they seem to be aimed towards a very young audience.
I like how you have been consistently uploading videos, I watched them all.. Never stop the grind!
Thanks for noticing 🙌🏼. It’s definitely a mission every day to get a video out but somehow we always manage to pull through 🙌🏼
@@VisualVenturegood vid friend! good to see you uploading again.
I use asmr every night. Whispers red, gentle whispering, asmr magic.....and more. They really help me sleep, and reduce anxiety and ptsd symptoms.
Edafoxx is great too
ASMR is such a beautiful thing to listen to but with every community there's a dark side and I'm glad that part's getting exposed
I don’t t think any community doesn’t have a dark or weird side. It’s honestly sad
@@Idontknowhattonamethislol ikr
I agree.. With so much good but evill will try to find it's way in..
It is fucking porn
ASMR is basically like white noise. Like a fan can be considered ASMR. It's all the same. It can make you tingly and it also can soothe you. Like for me with my insomnia and PTSD, every night I turn my fan on and it actually helps me sleep. And when the nightmares wake me up, it doesn't take long for the fan to soothe my mind and calm me down and put me back to sleep.
While both can be useful relaxation tools ASMR is triggering a very different brain response than white noise. I think a better description for ASMR is "it's like a brain massage with audio".
jojo got demonitized because of showing content THAT WASN'T DEMONITZED BUT SHOULD BE. youtube is so damn unfair, they're so greedy, they should do something.

I'm so glad you talked about ssoyoung! It saddens me that people dont treat fish etc the same way other animals, thinking they dont feel pain.
+ the overfeeding and feeding stuff to animals they shouldnt be eating... Fame-hungry creators sicken me.
Fart ASMR????? I've been listening to ASMR since 2012 and luckily I never came across that ... I honestly just like old school ASMR, quieter voices presenting art projects, crafts, explaining interesting stuff ... just for means of relaxation. I feel disturbed by a lot of weird role plays, specifically personal attention any sensual content and trigger collections don't relax me either. I am mostly drawn to unintentional ASMR. But at the end of the day the ASMR community is still the most supporting, troll-free and lovely community online! You find weird stuff in almost every UA-cam subculture if you dig deep enough.
a title like "ASMR Community: Dark World Behind the Whispers" makes asmr sound like something bad, instead a title like "ASMR: the weird parts" would make ASMR seem less like some sort of secret fetish, and more like a mostly positive, but partially bad community
Asmr is bad wdym

Fantastic video as always, though! This is some really high-quality stuff
as someone who listens to asmr(mainly jojo) i rly like this video, i expected it to be more critical like most mainstream media about it. good job bro
ive been hooked up to these, i mean it. I couldnt go an entire day without listening to ASMR at least 50 times, of course at night too. Its just so addictive, but its easy to stop watching it too
ig hes talking about ghetto ASMR, mukbangs with alive animals, twitch ASMR community...
that.. is honestly disgusting.. im happy that i stay with actual ASMR creators (yes ASMR RP included [SFW]) like ASMR Zeitgeist or others. very informative video! they are very educational and once again show that sadly.. every good thing has a dark side too.. cant wait for the next possible topic! subbed
i personally love Roleplay ASMR videos, but not the flirting kind. I love the ones about stuff like doctor exam, haircut salon, sleep clinic appointment, stuff like that. Also i only watch anime asmr, especially now with vr chat, there's great creators.
yes me too! i especially like lice check ones, i remember when i was about 8 and i got lice, and my mum searching through my hair was so relaxing
@@nightm1me ooh lice check? must be interesting! thank you i'll look for it!
I understood flirting (I’ve seen reaction videos) but the doctor and clinic stuff sounds…a liiittle odd. But maybe that’s just because I use normal nature ambience for sleep, lol
@@nightm1methe lice check ones are so nice!
@Aesos3429 they sound weird, but the long form ones are set up similarly to like spending a night in the hospital and having the nurse check up on you whereas the short form is mostly just questions with "follow the light" triggers and ear triggers.
The titles seem weird xD but the actual content isn't any different than personal attention videos.
bro's gonna find a way to find the dark side of the bluey community 💀
what about a dark side to his channel
There is
"The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural"
The people who fetishize them smh
There is…
I watch asmr a lot, and I literally never heard of any of the channels or controversies you mentioned. Huh. Guess the internet's a big place.
Few comments here, Jisu ended up becoming a very toxic person towards the end.
There was also an asmr artist whom if I'm not mistaken took her own life. Her name was Cloveress.
yup im pretty sure it was bcuz of hate or she was just $u1cidal
Aww yea, I liked what I saw from her. Discovered her not too long before and was shocked/sad when finding that out. She seemed sweet and funny.
I can easily describe the time when I first came across jisu. It was an aggressive asmr. About killing a roach. In which the camera us watching were the roaches. I followed him, I watched ever single video he posted. I commented on countless videos. He liked many of my comments. He used to like many and many other comments. The one day, he just stopped. No likes, no replies, genuinely nothing. I at that moment became concerned. I often asked if he was okay. I’ll never forget the videos about crying for help. I felt so gutted. The man deserved peace and happiness. I laughed often at his videos. I never found them calming or peaceful. I thought they were just genuinely hilarious. And I watched him and loved his content. I 100% believed what he said. Now looking back. I am not so sure what to believe.
I had no idea about the story behind the rebrand of Jisu to You did a great job today - Heartbreaking to hear. I was a fan of his when he was still Jisu, and stopped watching shortly before his breakdown. I remember refinding his channel as YDAGJT and thinking the rebrand was just because he said it so much in his videos. Really sad to hear how he put himself in a situation likely close to debt to keep making videos, and I'm glad he is prioritizing mental health now.
It's sad to see how every community somehow has its dark side. I have a friend who watches (or rather listens to) a lot of ASMR videos on basically any social media platform. While I personally am not such a great fan of the classic ASMR, I do enjoy the roleplay ones. I have a few creators I follow and I use their videos often when I'm trying to sleep. Especially since I'm sharing a room with my father who's always having the TV running the entire night, so I partially use the ASMR to drown out the noise. And it also just makes me feel a little bit safer and calmer to feel like there's someone there with me (someone else than my father that is. That guy is a complete stranger to me. And I don't like him at all).
Not ASMR related, but the graphic stuff can also be seen in some mobile game ads. Goes to show how far people are willing to go in order to make money.
So bizarre how you can find drama in absolutely ANY community.
Thank you for making this video. I had a favorite ASMR artist, and I loved her because she would take you into a different world every time and it was a way for me to escape mentally and also get sleep because of the mental health issues causing me to struggle with sleeping. And now it is all I can find is inappropriate ASMR and it makes me so frustrated.. especially because the artists I would watch were very talented and they would put months into one video just to sell the story. It was like a fairytale come to life.
there used to be no darkside or controversy back before it was mainstream. asmr is older than people think
16:56 Poor babies. I have a cat named Ginger Beans and I would never over feed him or force him to do anything. He's my best friend and child. The dude needs me to survive and I am responsible for his life. He is my emotional support as well and I am his. This whole video is disturbing. There are some evil people in the world using the Internet to hide behind their screens to hurt others. If communities actually cared enough to restrict the abuse instead of the innocent people this wouldn't happen so often. Makes me wonder if the people who run UA-cam are part of the abuse and that's why they are attacking innocent people instead of taking down the abusers.
There will always be a dark side to any community, especially of the online world
Dude your content is like actually so high quality and amazing, I've watched all of your videos and am blown away every time.
Appreciate you 🙌🏼
omg i used to listen to a lot of anime asmr in the past, and i used to listen to akiradubs and morphyva (and other bnha asmr, there was a surprising amount of drama in the bnha asmr community in general that i knew about, from people like yagami yato, chaos pm/xaid asmr/kadenaudio, xix rin iii, bear’s audio emporium, etc.), i’m surprised to see this here! i remember when that drama went down, but never figured out how it exactly ended since akira still seems active, I’ve stopped listening to him since the drama came out about him. nowadays i only listen to azeruofficial mostly, his stuff is just *chef’s kiss* for genshin fans
Yes azeru!!!
I remember that one unsettling muck bang channel, it was Kate Yup, people were very worried about her, worrying and questioning if she was kidnapped or needed help or it was all some act to get more views, and i was one of those ppl who were worried.
The creepy and gross animations you mention at the end are just like those flash games that were all over the place in the 2010's. I wonder if it's the same people making them.
Maybe interesting for you. AsmrDarling, aka Taylor, had a conplete meltdown during a breakup some years ago and was posting really weird videos. People thought she may have been hacked by her ex or being stalked, it was even on dramaalert. Might be interesting to look into, i remember the community was very worried for her!
I wouldn't give her unneeded stress
I remember that! The vids were deleted right away.
IM SORRY BUT WHEN U GOT TO THE AKIRA DUBS PART WITH THE GOKU AUDIO AND THE INTENSE CINEMATIC MUSIC IN THE BACKGROUND I COULDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND I"M STILL LAUGHING AS I'M TYPING THIS WHY IS THIS SO FUNNY HELPPP 😭😭😭
Omg i had no idea about this. I only listen to ASMR for mukbangs, sleeping, and to help my anxiety (whispers, tapping, and storytelling) had no idea this demonic ish existed in this community. WTF?!
Ngl, I question your sanity if Mukbangs are something you actually enjoy... Go to mechanical and machine noises. Trust me, it's more consistent, and makes it easier for things like just a box fan in the background to be one and not have any issues.
@@TheRaven-WingGamingL opinion basher
By the way, ASMR as a sensation doesn't have to be from sounds. It can be from anything, including touch. I don't get ASMR tingles from sounds, but if someone plays with my hair then I do
i just listen to asmr because i absolutely hate sleeping in silence, i’ve stuck to like 2 asmr youtubers
never knew the asmr community got so wild
asmr can be so wholesome and nice. my favorite subgenre is the cooking sounds and drink mixing ones. i can watch a barista pouring ice and coffee into cups all day, it's literal music imo. it's the internet and it's sad how there will always be these weird niches that will make their way into your recommends and searches. I wished there was a way to filter them out. As an adult, I can see how certain subgenres can have a market, but when the content itself is questionable, it's easy to wonder if the creator and their viewers are just trying to get away with shady stuff.
Ngl, this guy has the best editing in the world and should have a Netflix series. I watch his vids every time I can and he deserves better than UA-cam. Btw, I saw the premier, and the chat was… Well… W chat to say the least.

I started watching ASMR videos since 2017 and I love it. The roleplay section is my favorite, however I watch other type of roleplay videos than you depicted here. I don't get tingles, however it does make me sleepy and it also helps me to make my headaches disappear.
Some of my fave ASMRtists are:
- Ting Ting ASMR
- Peace and Saraity ASMR (the first Channel I ever watched)
- ASMR Zeitgeist
- Twix ASMR
- Several Korean ASMRtists like Soy ASMR
- JubileeWhispers
- Lizi ASMR
Even Jisu's videos are some of my favorites 😢😢😢
tingting and soy are some of my favourite asmr channels too!
I actually just discovered Lunarexx recently, and I've been tuned in to ASMR for 2 years now. But like every other topic in the world of UA-cam, there's always gonna be darksides.
I have a severe form of tinnitus. Extended silence can and will cause me pain. I listen to ASMR to sleep and prevent waking up with a splitting migraine. I don't care how dangerous it is. I'm gunna continue to use it to sleep.
[EDIT]
Now that the video is out, yes... There are some fucking weirdos in the community. I don't listen to that kind of stuff. I normally listen to things like rain, reading, or pretty much anything by Frivilous Fox ASMR (except the mouth sounds stuff. That stuff is weird).
Ooof

Sorry for your struggle and of course do what works for you ❤😊
@@Herobello7141for real.
ssoyoung is devil reincarnated. Absolutely disgusting of UA-cam not to take her channel down. Hopefully Karma catches up.
Ah yes, parasocial relationships. I admit some of the ASMR artists I follow are quite good-looking and sure, if I ever got to meet them (in a normal, not creepy way of course), it would make me very happy. But that's it. I know they're basically strangers to me who have their own lives. I listen to a lot of roleplay ASMR videos. So for me, even if I know what they look like, I'm actually bonding more with their version of the character they portray, rather than with the person behind it. Nothing wrong with seeing someone and finding them cute (I always call people cute. Not handsome, not beautiful, just cute.), we do that with celebrities all the time. As long as it stays at a ,,Hey. They look cute. Anyway, moving on."
it's sad that people can use such a good thing used to help people with stress, or going to sleep, into something bad
I listen to asmr every night bc it makes me feel not-alone while sleeping
Machine noises are wonderful, trust me. Just STAY TF AWAY from ANYTHING even remotely NSFW.
pathetic
you can also watch horror movies :)
@@TheRaven-WingGaming that stuff is brain rot
@@badpiggsyou have problems
I honestly love ASMRs, i normally listen to ones of my comfort characters , but I can agree that some are def weird
We gotta stop demanding that channels be taken down. Even if crimes are being committed, so be it. Let every criminal upload and post evidence. It only makes it easier to hold then accountable.
Censorship is always the wrong choice. Always. It's parents job to monitor that their children do online.
FallenShadowASMR is the reason I'm still sane.
Her roleplay videos are a GODSEND when I'm trying to sleep!
Bro how are you making this high quality content with absolutely outstanding editing and still only have 277K subscribers. You should have a lot more. I just don’t get it.
Ikr? And not the same old crap everyone talks about.
ASMR helped me sleep when I was dealing with unaliving thoughts, insomnia and depression. I couldn’t sleep without it. I’m better now but I was so grateful.
Those ASMR animations are disturbingly similar to those bootleg Flash games where you perform medical procedures on popular characters. I am convinced there's a link there, but I'm afraid to find out, lol.
yeah, fr. and the weird part is that they advertise it to kids, ew.
it's called elsagate.
I remember being recommended all those channels for *months* and found just the thumbnails weird, so blocked them one by one. But they are super persistent and there's *so many of them.*
@@TyLeeslilsisfr at one point I thought that I'm going insane lmao
I discover asmr around 2-3 years ago, and I've been hook to it. I've seen some strange stuffs on youtube but damn... I didn't know this was existed way back and this big!
To be honest, this video perfectly shows how UA-cam is chaotic and has one of the worst admins.
Same with discord currently
The dog that was eating a chili pepper was LITERALLY CRYING!!!!! omg
i love the editing so much it's awesome
I love your content and I also love ASMR, you definitely nailed it on the head with this one! Great work ❤
I went down the Animated ASMR rabbit hole a while ago. I think the problem is best shown by Angne ASMR, whose early videos were pretty benign animations of basic spa treatments, but have gotten nastier and nastier over time because, well, that's what people apparently want to watch.
I generally stick to about five channels I know I like and don't venture out much because there's too much cursed content out there.
I rarely if ever watch any other ASMR channels other than ER- who's a weirdo in his own right! But, knowing there's an actual darker side is pretty crazy.
There is also one that has been stalked for years now and recently her stalker returned and is saying all sorts of crazy shit whenever people tell him to stop such as getting his fans to attack them or threaten them. He's been banned from every restaurant near him and even has an arrest for assaulting his ex girlfriend. The ASMR artist is Karuna Satori (she's allegedly done stuff (nothing horrendous) and she was in a pretty rough spot when she was younger, but again, nothing heinous), but the man has been targeting her young children now to the point where he waits for them to be dismissed from their school. It's almost like he was waiting for her to get her divorce finalized to strike again, it's terrifying.
actually, she has done heinous stuff. she's an anti-vaxxer egomaniac who neglects her children, was partly responsible for the death of Cloveress, and has actively harassed and targeted smaller creators and people who criticize her under the guise of being an innocent angel when in actuality, she's a narcissistic bully who virtue signals.
that’s so sad karuna is so influential she made so many good triggers
There have been many ASMR creators who have had stalking situations unfortunately. Many no longer create videos and I’m guessing the stalking aspect was at the very least partially to blame.
1. "ASMR can't be a permanent solution". But it is a permanent solution for falling asleep. For some it works and for some it doesn't. It slows my brain down and I can go to sleep after a few minutes. For someone with ADHD it's often either this or meds. Every single day. So IT IS a permanent solution, cause it's way better than meds.
2. If ASMR works on a person it can reduce stress and even pain, make them happy and content. That tingling feeling means that the brain reacts to it and releases all kinds of good stuff into the blood stream. It can become addictive but it's harmless and even good for your body, unlike drugs or alcohol. And it's mostly free to watch. I don't see a problem tbh...
3. It's always easy to criticize and show only the dark side. Just the way some ASMRtists make their content more outstanding in a bad way - you also do that to gain more views. You aren't talking how helpful it is, you're not promoting someone that you enjoy, you just criticize and talk about "the worst" because that will give you views. You obviously don't listen to it and it doesn't have an effect on your brain. So if you don't understand or get it - how can you properly criticize it in the first place?
4. I'm not a fan of mouth sounds and especially of mukbang but ig many people enjoy it. I won't comment on that. People have different tastes and needs and it's alright. Animal cruelty - isn't.
5. ASMR stories and anime characters - it's the first time I'm seeing those creators and videos that you've showed. I don't know why your UA-cam feed is like that. 😂 There's A LOT to chose from. And I'm only making/am interested in spicier ASMR and/or BL stuff specifically. It's a narrow niche but there's a lot. It's a very creative space, basically a storytelling through sounds and dialogues. I think it's amazing, like a new form of art that is still developing.
6. ASMR in general is an art. And I think that only those who are a part of it in some way can judge it. You kinda need to know the art to be a good art critic and I'm not sure you are, sorry. And I think that the cancel culture might be going too far and forgetting what the freedom of speech is. That would be an interesting video I'd love to watch - cancel culture vs freedom of speech/expression. Just an idea. 😉
3. While the title implies otherwise, the guy in the video actually does seem to acknowledge that ASMR isn't all bad. He mentions "innocent creators" in one of the early sections.
6. What makes you think that being an art critic is the point of this video? You don’t need to be an art critic to say that it's wrong to scam people, make false accusations about artists, or abuse animals.
1. "It's way better than meds"
ok im gonna buy some radioactive cards
2."It can become addictive but it's harmless and even good for your body"
uhh
technologic addiction
sεx addiction
blah
blah
blah addiction
absolutely it is
It's not a permanent solution.
asmr is amazing, what's the problem if you listen to it before sleep to feel better and sleep better? it just improves your life. I'll never stop listening to asmr. it's the best feeling.
@@Raoul. It literally can be
I am just waiting for him to make a video about "The Dark Side of Lofi/Lofi Girl/Community"
one of the things that actually sucks from the asmr community is that faction of creators that made asmr like some sort of sofcore corn , and mand that sucks , i use asmr to sleep no to get aroused
I just found your channel and I already love your videos! Such a great find I’ve been needing something like this
i've always hated the eating videos....
and for me, i first experienced that tingling feeling as a child, before speaking, when my mom would draw shapes or write on my back to help me sleep.
then again in the early 90s on a school field trip - this ooooold tiny woman giving a tour had a voice that had me falling asleep standing up.
and of course, bob ross was always a go to.
EXTREMELY strong start to this video with farts right off the bat 💀💀
“Dark side of ASMR community” makes it sound like good people in the community want any affiliation with those types of people. There is a dark and bad side to almost every community, like someone else said, with the good, comes the bad.
There was a big ASMR channel ran by a dude, and I remember at one point in time he was talking about SA allegations against him. Which I don't remember if anything else came about other mention... But he still went on to grow his channel.
And its honestly never sat right with me at all.
19:44 finally someone talks about this. I keep blocking them but UA-cam still suggests it. Then again, they didn’t do anything with esla gate until they had no choice but to take it down
Love the content man! Always nice to get home from school and watch ur vids!
The animated asmr you mentioned at the end somehow reminded me of those elsa gate videos with the same artstyle and similar plots. The medical procedures part though reminded me of those early kids flash games. Those probably having such high views is probably because kids watch those, its colourful, loud and magical stuffs is exactly targeting children imo.
my favourite asmr channel is a roleplay one but i love it. Gibi asmr is the best
:3) I love rolplay asmr where th3 girl is a fairy giving me a makeover or playing with my hair ‘3))), or like best friend helps you get ready for a date, or those where they bedazzle makeup products. I keep forgetting that everything else exists.
Really informative video, love the consistent uploads as well, keep up the great work 🖤
I watch and listen to ASMR quite a bit to calm my anxiety and help me sleep. Mostly I watch journaling vids and trigger compilations (like ASMR Zeitgeist) and I also follow a number of roleplay ASMRtists like Gibi, and romantic audio RPers like Azeru. But it is really hard to find the good ones amongst all the awful ones. I can't stand eating vids or surgery vids, they make my skin crawl. And it's so saddening to hear that so many ASMRtists are caught up in drama like this. The animal abuse one is particularly distressing 😖 it gives a terrible name to all the genuinely good ASMRtists out there!
I'm very glad you made this video I have noticed a lot of these things on UA-cam and wondered how it's affecting people's minds I've watched/ listened to some that was totally fine and relaxing but noticed other stuff that is weird like unhealthy weird
What proves to me that your videos are good, is the fact that the cover caught my intention and the title interested me. I clicked on it without even knowing this was a VV video, normally when I see a video uploaded by a channel I'm subscribed to I click on it not caring what its about, just because its from a youtuber I like. You stand out to me, great job and continue like this! 👍👍👍
Apparently, no matter how wholesome something is, some people will always find a way to drag it down into the depths of hell.
When you talked about the ASMR Anime Roleplay, The first thing that came to mind was Radish ASMR. For people who don’t know the whole point behind the channel, it can be genuinely dangerous, especially considering how it looks like every other Cookie Cutter ASMR channel. For a genre that’s meant to be relax people, It is a good subversion, but be careful about checking out the channel completely blind.
