Matías Ignacio Vera Oyarzo (born: September 19, 2003), better known online as Peluchin Entertainment, or his current channel name Matias, is a Chilean YouTuber in the Hispanic YouTube community. He became infamous for a video showing him inflicting violent, fatal abuse on his pet cat named Jason Krueger.
Content[]
Matías opened his channel on September 11, 2014, at the age of 10,[1] and uploaded his first video on December 22, 2014.
He initially uploaded videos sketching his stuffed animals, gameplays of horror games such as Five Nights at Freddy's, Slender, and SCP Containment Breach, as well as paint animations, which usually contained violence, blood, gore, and high-pitched screaming.
In early 2018, he began to display traits of an internet troll, forcing discussions with YouTubers like Waluishi and Super Wario Man, and making multiple videos about it. At the end of the same year, he published a video titled "Tortazo Slap", in which he inflicted minor abuse upon Jason Krueger by forcefully shoving an opened tin of cat food in his face while restraining him, showing that this kind of behaviour on his part had been common for a long time. The video is now deleted.
Controversy[]
Animal abuse[]
On December 19, 2018, a video he had previously uploaded 14 days prior resurfaced showcasing Matías violently abusing Jason Krueger by picking him up by his tail and dropping him multiple times, the proceeding to throw him, step on him, kick him, and repeatedly hit him with a wooden spoon as he tried to escape. The cat later died in hospital from the injuries caused by Matías. Another video also showcased him throwing one of two new kittens he got after Jason's death into a dirty toilet bowl. These videos have sparked an immense amount of controversy not only in the Spanish community but worldwide, with many users calling for his arrest. After these videos went viral through Twitter and other social networks, YouTubers like DalasReview, Jordi Wild, Kajal Napalm, talked about the issue with contempt towards the young man, however, AuronPlay appealed for calm saying that they had asked for money to hire a hitman.[2]
After a while, Matías claimed he doesn't care about his cats and that he will keep adopting cats to kill them. He also claimed he will kill his mother as well.
Matías' channel would come onto the spotlight again in 2020 when a YouTuber by the name of Penguinz0 uploaded a video named "YouTubers Killing Their Cats"[3] on September 1st of that year, which discussed his channel's prevalence and endurance, and how he inspired other YouTubers to upload videos of them performing acts of animal abuse, particularly cats, and YouTube's inaction of the channel, comparing it to LeafyIsHere's termination, which happened around two weeks earlier on August 21. This is followed suit by other YouTubers, this time from the Western commentary community, such as Mellypea and TheQuartering.
On September 29, 2020, Peluchin Entertainment's channel was terminated due to violating YouTube's Terms of Service against animal cruelty.
After the 2018 cat controversy, many other YouTubers have followed his example of mistreating animals in order to "please" Peluchin and gain visits, among the most famous, Naytelos, who is from Argentina or Mexico, who has uploaded images of animals dead to his accounts and he calls himself the new "God" and number one fan of Peluchin. The issue was that some residents of the city of Matías, went to his house, blaming him for recidivism, to try to do justice by his own hand, on 9/15/2020. The police arrived and intervened and inspected Peluchin's house, later, the organizing user of the escrache mob broadcast on Facebook what she recorded on her cell phone. And in the news, Matías's mother defended him, arguing that they were impersonating her son, that he no longer owns any pets since 2018 and that since then they have been guiding him on the right path.[4] YouTubers such as Nauterplay or Can Alan already be a YouTuber at 32 years old?, Expressed their rejection of the aggressive attitude of the people towards Peluchin's grandmother and communicated that the true author of these new cases of animal abuse was Naytelos and not Peluchin. Currently, it is still being debated whether Peluchin has committed a repeat offense or there is identity theft. Since many channels pretend to be it.
Since July 23, 2020, at 23:00 (UTC-5), Matías sent photos of dead cats and kicking his cat to YouTuber Evelynbot X via Facebook. Then he spread it on Twitter and YouTube. With the phrase ''Ni Olvido Ni Perdón''
Current content[]
In his later channels, he has dedicated himself to uploading gameplays of video games such as Among Us, Roblox, etc. He has also uploaded videos about his "experiences" (discussions) with other people. He has also made videos showing off the objects he buys and their recommendations, such as some videos where he analyzed the usefulness of the gamer chair, which Saitam and Arev also uploaded on his deleted channel. Sometimes he mentions his internet troll behavior that he had in the past.
His current account, Matías (stated by him to be the only official one) is still reasonably active, and he uploads gaming videos and apologizes for his activities as a child. Another account which uploaded his videos with fake titles, has been proven as fake since it mostly uploaded reuploads of his videos with weird names and made many grammatical errors unlike Matias himself. A video on the channel was called "I have adopted another cat" and shows him holding what is now confirmed to be his aunt's cat. Later, the fake account uploaded a video called 'test cat...', unknown if it's by himself or from somewhere else, where a cat is thrown around and stomped on, also hit against a sink. Many were convinced it was the cat shown in the photo from Instagram (his aunt's cat). A video which contained the audio of the video was uploaded a day after it was released, talking about it. He's trying to forget about it all and hopes to be forgiven for his previous actions, however, it will ultimately depend on how the internet will feel about his actions, and so far, he’s still been getting more hate for it.
Trivia[]
- Peluchin's ex-girlfriend took and saved the two kittens.
- Peluchin's account was hacked until a few months later.
- Along with Matias' channel, YouTube has also terminated several other accounts that were inspired by him.
- YouTuber Penguinz0 started #AnswerUsYouTube after he spoke out about Matias and questioned why his channel had not been banned despite two years of controversy, comparing it to the moment when Markiplier's video, "Try Not To Laugh Challenge #2" got taken down for a clip of a staged road rage incident where four people dressed as cartoon characters drag down someone then hurting them.
- Peluchin's Twitter, DeviantArt, and Instagram are still up.
- It's believed Peluchin's video about adopting new kittens was originally titled, in English, "I ADOPTED NEW CATS TO KILL" but it could have been edited with Inpect.
- Matías claimed that the cat he threw in his toilet ended up drowning.
- He liked horror films. That may mean his first cat, Jason Krueger, may have been a mix between Jason and Freddy Krueger.
