As a YouTuber, whose real name is Jeremy Wang, has gained an enormous following in part thanks to a sense of humor that has been described as “edgy.” Currently, Disguised Toast has more than 3 million subscribers on YouTube, and more than 1 million on Twitter. Now, he’s being called out for his problematic behavior online, with some suggesting that he should be canceled.
Let’s dive into the Disguised Toast cancel drama.
The drama around Disguised Toast first started after a Twitter user with the username Hope posted a long thread that called out Disguised Toast’s problematic behavior. The thread included snippets of videos from Jeremy as well as things he’d said online. In the thread, Hope wrote that the things Jeremy had said were “borderline offensive.”
“He has explained that there is a grey area between being offensive and not disguisedtoast offensive, and he prefers to stay in the grey area where people can squint eyes at him and say, ‘that’s kinda messed up,’ but at the same time, it isn’t,” the thread states.
The thread continues by suggesting that making jokes that target a specific community is offensive, especially when the person making the jokes is not a member of the community being targeted.
Jeremy has responded to the thread claiming his past is ‘problematic.’
In a post on Twit Longer, Jeremy responded to the idea that his past was problematic, saying that he decided to speak up after some of his friends got harassed. “I have always toed the line of “edgy” humor when it comes to my online presence,” he wrote. “Over the last five years, I’ve developed a more sarcastic, blunt, and satirical personality. There’s nothing about what I’ve done publicly that I have tried to hide, delete, or claim ignorance to.”
