Controversies[]
Alleged Racism[]
In 2016, There were many videos where Josh has openly said the n-word multiple times, one video is where he pretended to be a Rapper and mocked the Black Lives Matter movement.[1] Josh copyright struck a Reuploaded video in May, 2020, this has been deemed hypocritical as he himself previously stated that striking someone's channel for Reuploaded Archival Content was wrong.[2]
Feud with Lerix[]
Josh used to make content with YouTuber Lerix, but on September 10, 2024, Bowblax leaked a private discord call that Lerix had with him, giving him advice.[3] He then leaked this call to other youtubers while planning to use it to expose Lerix on stream for what he called a “Lerix Bully Stream”.[4] Bowblax eventually took down the stream after backlash and got ousted out of the Commentary community because of this and other lies he had told. The main one being that he lied about having Borderline Personality Disorder to multiple friends in private. Lerix would go on to eventually make a 57-minute video essay on Bowblax.[5]
Harrassment and Doxxing[]
On September 19, 2024, a reddit thread was made[6] detailing how Josh and YouTuber kaozbender, who was harassed and doxxed YouTuber; SMT, also known as Zenoshi from 2013, when he was 14 years old, all the way up to 2016, when he was 17 years old, just because Zenoshi's content was a copy of kaoz's.[7] They also accessed his Twitter/X and YouTube accounts. They also reposted a video of Zenoshi where he had nothing but boxers on, in the now-deleted YouTube video interviewing him, which could be considered Child Abuse Material as Zenoshi was 17 years old in 2016.[8] Bowblax was 18 years old and kaoz was in his 20's when this happened.
