Caracula sparks outrage after announcing YouTube comeback with animal rescue channel
“YouTuber Caracula,” known for blackmailing fellow mukbang star Tzuyang and sentenced to 12 months in prison, has teased a return to YouTube, stirring backlash online.
The “wrecker” YouTuber posted a new video breaking his prior retirement announcement. His channel had been wiped clean as of July 2024. In the clip, Caracula apologized:
First, I sincerely apologize to everyone for causing such a major public controversy and disturbance. Everything that happened was due to my shortcomings and lack of qualifications…
…I regret what I’ve done and I promise to show how I reflect on my past, not just through words, but through action. If only you could give me another chance, I will strive to become someone worthy of that trust.
— Caracula
Caracula revealed a rebrand from “Caracula Media” to “Caracula Animal Rescue,” shifting focus from scandal coverage to rescuing abandoned and abused animals.
He stated his channel remains demonetized and said:
I have no plans to ask for donations. I will simply move forward, bearing the heavy responsibility of my past wrongdoings.
Netizens immediately questioned his sincerity, recalling his history as a toxic cyberbully who targeted Tzuyang. Comments pouring in include:
“From a guy who used to make money off people? Just go away.”
“Guess animals seemed like an easy way to pull in donation money. Even without YouTube monetization, he could just say, ‘We need funds to rescue this animal’ and collect money through a personal account. Then, since animals can’t talk, he could just say, ‘It went well, the animal got adopted!’ and disappear. There’s no way to verify anything.”
“Ran out of money, huh?”
“What a load of BS.”
“Just look at how he’s been active on Instagram… So much for ‘reflecting,’ IMO. I remember checking his account right after he got out on bail because I figured he’d post something, and sure enough, he was flexing about being in detention, posting all these cocky photos and rebutting news articles. No matter how bad the incident, he seems to love the media attention and people talking about him. If there’s no monetization, why even bother making content? It’s obviously about using animals to repair his reputation, thinking time will pass, people will forget, and he’ll be seen positively again. What else could it be but a ploy to enjoy fame?”
“What’s he planning to do now with animals that can’t even speak for themselves?”
“Oh… so this is what it looks like to exploit something for content.”
“Pfft.”
“Please do not use the poor animals. What did they ever do to deserve this?”
Caracula’s controversial return is already met with intense skepticism as netizens keep a close watch.
