―Foodistzen[1] |
Foodistzen is an American former YouTuber and internet troll who garnered infamy for his inflammatory content. He has been known controversially due to his incessant spam in comment sections of YouTube videos, as well as making racist, antisemitic, homophobic, and other derogatory and dehumanizing remarks.
YouTube History[]
Foodistzen would begin garnering a reputation from the inception of his career in 2021. Most of his videos were well known for mocking the deaths of then-recently deceased celebrities and internet-famous people. He created his YouTube channel on January 16, 2022, which had been deleted on dozens of occasions. Most of his other surviving channels had little to no content remaining on them.
Foodistzen created a Discord server where he would let anyone join, allowing people to join simply to gather screenshots of his server, giving him even more publicity no matter the intentions of the creator.[2] This marked the beginning of Foodistzen's first trolling campaign, doxxing a self-proclaimed "Anti-Troll" named Abdul Karim Sanchez Cortez. Him, along with many other internet trolls to follow, became a lolcow of the group.[3] Following this, using the images and names of doxxed people became one of the many in-jokes and traditions of the Foodist group.[4]
Foodistzen created his most well-known channel on January 16, 2022, and uploaded his first video, in which he introduced his channel. For unspecified reasons, he departed from YouTube for a while. It is speculated that he quit due to the amount of hate he was getting after DJ Cook uploaded a video about him.[5] On November 13, 2022, he deleted all of his videos and stopped uploading for a month. On December 24, 2022, Foodistzen temporarily returned to YouTube with a video re-upload, titled "REAL PROOF THE EARTH IS FLAT".
Termination[]
On December 30, 2022, Foodistzen's main channel was terminated for violating YouTube's policy for deceptive practices and misleading content. He used another account to upload another video titled "Andrew Tate Deserved to get arrested! here's why!" (the aforementioned event which had occurred days prior). However, the video was removed several days later. Since he used multiple accounts for his trolling content, he uploaded videos on other channels. On January 5, 2023, a new channel under the name Foodistzen was created, which many people suspect that he owned.[6]
Controversies[]
Mocking people's deaths[]
Jacksepticeye's father[]
Foodistzen would spend the majority of 2021 focusing his efforts on making fun of Jacksepticeye's father, who had passed away on approximately January 27, 2021, as well as mocking his death.[7] Foodistzen would upload a 3 A.M. parody video, where he would go around collecting printed out images of Jacksepticeye's father, claiming he was haunting his house while he was trying to hold on his laughter. He also would upload a video of him eating food that he claimed was his remains. A select few of the titles from his video include: "WHY JACKSEPTICEYE'S DAD DESERVED IT LMAO", "CALLING JACKSEPTICEYE'S DAD FROM HELL AT 3AM", and "EATING JACKSEPTICEYE'S DAD'S REMAINS FROM HELL".
In September of 2022, Jacksepticeye's father's FindAGrave page was discovered by a member of Foodist's Discord server. The page, which was then unprotected, was vandalized with flowers left with vulgar comments, and the creation of an obituary citing Jack's father's love of "eating fiber glass and fetuses".
After about an hour of spam on the page, users began to leave flowers complaining of the vulgar comments and images. Shortly thereafter, moderators began removing offensive images and flowers from the page and banning accounts associated with them. They were quickly reuploaded by members of the Discord server who spammed out alternate accounts.
However, these videos have resulted in multiple of Foodistzen's accounts getting taken down by YouTube after many users mass-reported his videos. Commentary YouTubers such as DJ Cook[5], anna oop[8], and AugustTheDuck made videos talking about Foodistzen's disrespectful behavior.[9]
Betty White[]
Shortly after the passing of actress and comedian Betty White on New Year's Eve 2021, Foodistzen uploaded a video making fun of her death. In the video, he insulted Betty multiple times, calling her "disgusting", "old", "stupid", and "satanic". Much like his other videos, Foodistzen received backlash for his disrespect towards Betty's death.[10]
Making bigoted jokes[]
Foodistzen was also known for making racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic jokes. These jokes include saying the N-word[11], making rules on his Discord server to "kill n*ggers, Jews, and f*ggots"[12], doing a Nazi salute while yelling "Sieg Heil" and saying that the amount of Jews who died in the Holocaust was a lot more than it actually was.[13]
Calling MrBeast the Anti-Christ[]
On February 3, 2023, Foodistzen uploaded another YouTube short about MrBeast titled "MrBeast is the devil and antichrist #mrbeast #fyp #youtube". In the video, he called MrBeast the Anti-Christ and claimed that he makes videos that "parallel the Bible", as well as saying that he does good things for himself rather than "for God and everyone else".[14]
This was at the time where many Twitter users were accusing MrBeast of the same after his "1,000 Blind People see For The First Time" video, and Foodistzen's statements were dismissed as redundant and usual trolling.
Clay.Party[]
On October 9, 2022[15], a forum website was created entitled Clay.Party, the site while only lasting a mere four months and twenty-six days[16] had a immeasurably large impact for its size. It quickly garnered a reputation of hosting shocking content and doxxed information of various people[17][18][19][20] Some of its members would be accused of being pedophiles.[21]
The forum consisted mostly of a core group of former Foodists[22], most notably MattLav, who had previously merged with Foodistzen's group after being introduced by one of the Foodist members in early 2022. As such, many members up until the sites shutdown still have "Foodist" in their name and carry many of the Foodist traditions, such as mentioning Abdul, using the images of doxxed individuals as profile pictures, and making fun of dead celebrities and people.[23]
Foodistzen would later join the site and be granted owner role by the head administrator named "O.J. Simpson", later uploading videos to his TikTok account advertising the site.[24]
