Eren Warhurst (born: August 3, 1999), better known online as Rosie the Rascal or Hopeless Peaches, was an English YouTuber known for his commentary and art. His videos normally consist of his commentary about art-related topics layered over time-lapse videos of himself digitally illustrating anime and cartoon characters. Eren has since come out as Transgender and uses He/They pronouns.
Career[]
Hopeless Peaches created his channel on May 17, 2015, and on December 9, 2018 he uploaded his first video which was titled "Tracing Rant + Holly Brown | Idol Master Speedpaint V Trace". In this video he talked about his opinions on the Holly Brown controversy at that time. From then on, Hopeless Peaches continued to create content on his channel to discuss art-related topics, such as tracing, art style and more, as well as speaking about his own personal life experiences.
Hopeless Peaches experienced an initial growth spurt with the video "Game Dev Tried to STEAL from Me! | WORST Commission EVER!" which he uploaded on January 4, 2019, in which he spoke about his experience with a game developer trying to avoid paying for a commission, and what he had learnt from that experience. This video brought attention to his channel, and on May 7, 2019, his video on the Kun0 Controversy accelerated his growth on the platform.
Outside of working on his YouTube channel, Hopeless Peaches has worked as a commission artist under the same name, and has worked behind the scenes of the channel, PantslessPajamas, as an animation assistant. His earliest contribution to this channel appears in the video "I Had an Accident in Gym Class" uploaded on October 18, 2019.
On September of 2021, he rebranded himself as ThatRascalRosie.[1]
Personal life[]
Hopeless Peaches was born on August 8, 1999, in North West England. He is a Mathematics student, and has been open on his Discord server to discussing mathematical subjects. He was also a part of his local Art Theatre.
He has found himself in quite the predicament in recent years, as he has met new friends, one of which is pressuring him into a life-changing decision. That decision being the adoption of a cat.
Collaborations[]
Hopeless Peaches has done numerous collaborations with different content creators, including PantslessPajamas, LavenderTowne, CreepShow Art, DaftPina, Dumbsville, HarleyTBS, Twisted Disaster and LDShadowLady. Hopeless Peaches also cameoed in Sr Pelo's "Spooky Month" animated video.
Controversies[]
Feud with CreepShow Art[]
CreepShow Art tweeted on Dec. 1, "Before I hit 100k, I was friends with another creator. This creator later spread lies about me, told people I was psychotic, and I screamed at her and basically poisoned potential friendships with other people in the art community." In another tweet, she called out Hopeless Peaches by name, writing, "This tweet was about Hopeless Peaches. Finding out that she had told multiple creators who she knew I admired that I screamed at her, and attacked her, when I viewed her as a little sister f--king sucked."[2] Currently, Creepshow Art has yet to show proof of any of the claims she has against Hopeless Peaches.
Hopeless Peaches did attempt suicide on the 23rd of October, however he was talked out of it by a close friend, who later was revealed as MangaKamen. Due to MangaKamen coming forth with this information, Creepshow Art proceeded to discredit and character attack Kamen by calling him a "sexist" in her video on February 3rd and defended Prison Mate Luke's accusations against Hopeless Peaches' "suicide baiting".
Scrittus made a video disproving a lot of Shannon's claims.[3] After the treatment of Peaches, many people agreed that the backlash was too far. Creepshow Art disagrees, stating Peaches was not treated unfairly, despite being proven to have lied about several claims. She was called out by this by Sen.[4]
Response[]
On March 17, 2021, Peaches made a response to all his detractors.[5] The video further gave evidence against a lot of the claims made about him from Creepshow Art, Omnia, Prison Mate Luke, Camila Cuevas and more, as well as claiming they supported Prison Mate Luke's claims. Through this video, it postulated a theory towards how Shannon and Omnia had helped create this drama to aid Luke and bring attention away from his "suicide-baiting" claim against Peaches, as well as how much Camila Cuevas mocked him in the past behind his back and potentially lied about the merch store situation. In the video, he also had revealed associates of Shannon like MintiUnicorn had been sending him threatening messages, which brought to question the validity of their testimony due to them having ulterior motives. Several other YouTubers critiqued Prison Mate Luke's claims in particular, such as him saying that Peaches' suicide attempt was for attention.[6]
After CreepShow Art was outed for insulting other users on the online bulletin board lolcow[7] as well as being accused of stalking, Hopeless Peaches would leverage his own accusations towards Creepshow Art. The accusations included accusing Creepshow Art of threatening Hopeless Peaches through email.[8] Hopeless Peaches was one of the people who Creepshow Art had allegedly derided in her lolcow thread.
Miles Situation[]
On December 12, 2023, messages would surface from a black underage trans man with the handle "RideorFrye",[9] showcasing how Hopeless Peaches had attempted to persuade them into deleting posts made against a now deleted Twitter user, accusing the user, a child, of "grooming 20 children".[10] Hopeless Peaches would be criticized for their conduct in handling this situation. Hopeless Peaches would then go onto claim that harassment would come as a result of a video he was planning about the child, if that child did not delete the posts made about the other Twitter user.[11] Following this, Hopeless Peaches, and his unofficial adoptive father, Thomas Guerra (LioConvoy), would track down the accused Twitter user. They would then find a server the user was formerly in, and would attempt to get their hands on a dox of the underage accused user.[12] Screenshots of this would leak, with the ensuing criticism leading Hopeless Peaches to claim he was constantly being told to kill herself, he would also produce several other vent posts, which he would later delete.[13]
Rosa 'Rey' Ramsey Senate Call/Ableism, Sexism & Cyberbullying[]
While Rosa Rey Ramsey did ignore the fact that one of the people that the former was with was revealed as a child predator, that did not excuse the fact that Hopeless Peaches, LioConvoy, Coyote Lovely and many other people in the Senate call would go in their way to use ableistic slurs (It's worth noting that Rosa Rey Ramsey is on the Autistic Spectrum, seizures that cause memory loss) and sexist slurs against Rosa Ray Ramsey by calling Rosa the S-slur and the C-slur, mostly the S-word, even using the S-slur to Rosa's mother. (It important to mention that Rosa Rey Ramsey was also has PTSD and is a child sexual abuse victim; Hopeless Peaches was also a sexual abuse victim herself).[14][15]
Peaches would even go in his way to invalidate Rosa Rey Ramsey's trauma and disorders. It also doesn't remove the fact that LioConvoy was also threatening Rosa Rey Ramsay to stay in the senate call under the threat of using Rosa Rey Ramsey's personal information to ruin the latter's life and was willing to threaten to call Rosa Rey Ramsey's mother at a time where the latter would hit Rosa Rey Ramsay with the belief that the mother was likely homophobic. Hopeless Peaches would also allow the admins of said Discord call to rename Rosa Rey Ramsey to something very sexist with the nickname referring Rosa as "S---hole Nightmares", knowing very well that Rosa suffered from child sexual abuse.[16][17]
Leaving Social Media / Exposed Behavior[]
On March 13th, 2024, Hopeless Peaches would delete all of their social media accounts. This includes their main YouTube channel as well as their Twitter accounts @HopelessPeachYT as well as @ThatRebelEren.[18] Hopeless Peaches would then release a statement on March 18th, 2024, primarily discussing their allegations of abusive behavior levied toward their found family father, LioConvoy. Lio is cited as the reason peaches would end up leaving the internet. [19]Peaches would allege abuse, both verbal and emotional, on Lio's end toward themself.[20] This document would cause a large amount of Senate users to leave the server and Lio's side of the story to be waited on, which many users would go on to characterize this document as a way for Peaches to throw Lio under the bus to avoid accountability. [21]
On April 26th, 2024, LioConvoy would release a video titled "Addressing Things", which was a general response to much of the allegations levied by Peaches, along with the Rosa Rey Ramsey call among other situations. In this video, Lio would reveal that Peaches had verbally, mentally and emotionally abused Lio for almost two years. Lio also stated that Peaches had financially abused himself and his wife out of $8,000 over this time. Lio would also address all other allegations levied against him at this time, along with addressing several detractors and shutting down the Senate server, moving his audience to The Cat's Lair, a community Discord for Lio's channel.
On April 28th, 2024, VTuber Zak Not Kyle would release "There's Something You Don't Know About Hopeless Peaches And Lumitro", a video that further exposed Hopeless Peaches' abusive behavior toward those who were not Lio. Senate moderators and users Hidden Heroine, CrystalFlame, Syn He-Chaos, JibzThePig, Sae, UntitledSunny, Asuka Gumi, Hiten Mitsuru and ElliiMomelli would speak out against Peaches, either stating abuse toward them or others took place or citing other problems with Peaches. This behavior included suicide baiting many of Senate's moderators multiple times prior to Peaches releasing their document.[22] This video would also explain that Lumitro, a close friend and fellow Senate moderator to Peaches, enabled their behavior during this time.
