Streamer Valkyrae faces backlash for new gamer skincare range

Nobody to stop her and it wasn't a planned stream, two very big mistakes
We have credible studies but at the risk of legitimizing our product, we choose not to publish it.
Also I was surprised about this
She was the one who presented the idea of blue light to the company. I thought it was the other way around

Because she's not in control of making decisions like that and the point of snake-oil products like these is to make up a fake issue and then sell people the cure.
lol she's going to be fine. this is all funny and what not but it's hardly going to end her streaming career
No doubt. Maybe I shouldn't but I feel bad for her now. She seems way over her head and is just making things worse for herself.
I mean, I get that, she's just the marketing piece, but you'd think the company would have see the response and flipped the script. No one is buying this blue light nonsense, but I'm sure its a fine moisturizer. This could have been salvageable maybe even 24 hours ago. But we're off the rails now, buddy!
Just go to her channel on Youtube she,s live right now and on Youtube you can just go back on the stream
She's being really disingenuous right now.
"I'm not saying the company tricked me"
"I'm not throwing people under the bus I'm just sharing my experience"
and she did the streamer apology sigh.
appropriate.
it's quite something. I absolutely didn't see the triple-down coming.
I was hoping/expecting that she would say she didn't realize it hadn't been peer-reviewed and that after speaking with a variety of experts in the field, it looks like this isn't a direction to take her product line, so she'd be going with something else.
Instead...welp.
Because it's likely a scam.
No shade to this streamer, because I don't lknow her specifically. But for the folks who follow the skincare industry, a lot of this shit is an OBVIOUS scam. The burden of proof required to show that these celebrities don't know the scam they're getting into is near impossible to meet these days.
One of my favorite YouTubers just posted a video about this:
I realize a lot of gamers might not have been introduced to this racket until now, but welcome to the conversation.
It's at the point where you can pick apart everything she's saying, these unplanned apology things always go this way, she's trying to be genuine but bad shit gets out in ways she might not realize, just spiraling around an apology to avoid getting fucked by a contract
My favorite part was her mentioning they begin having it in stores monday, hell of a product launch
It's an amazing train wreck. She started going down a list of friends who did and didn't contact her, then later she got asked why she was listing friends and throwing them under the bus and she said she never did. She flat out said Jackskepticeye never contacted her 5 minutes before that lol.
But she saw the research with her own eyeballs and it's true guys.
I am fully expecting the research they come up with to be similar to the anti-vax research. If someone used RFLCT and they didn't die then that means they were successfully saved from blue light.
I'm not a scientist, or chemist but I saw the results and the research and know it's legit? what
She's slowly losing it on stream she's really opening herself up to lawsuits not only that company but the customers.
Yea.
But regardless of any misspeaking, the bottom line is she's quadrupling down on pseudoscience and trying to pass off real research. Research that she's not trained enough in understanding to discern real from bullshit and accepting the results of this "research" as all that is needed to justify her product existing.
She keeps like, dancing around Co-Founder, to she pitched the idea, to she's just the face, this is spiraling
I found some clips with Mizkif viewing the stream

People at that level of popularity should all have a PR person or at least a firm or at least something at the ready that can just spam the fuck out of them when they do something like that.
She is furiously destroying her reputation and probably going to have legal issues
Yeeeeeep, weaponizing the fanbase.

I think the people who pitched the company to her really ran one over on her. They gave her the "Cofounder" title but didn't give her any share of the company and her being the cofounder greatly helps their marketing. Additionally, the other cofounders said she's the one who thought of the blue light idea (Something she's said on stream) so if something goes wrong they can blame it on her as a cofounder and not just some influencer.
I can't believe she doesn't have pr people that would have prevented this. This is wild.

About Hasan
Damn, Hasan also showing his whole ass, who would have thought.
I'm so used to the celebrity/influencer beauty stuff by now that I'm actually surprised this is a big deal? Because it does happen quite a lot, and as this is a product that is still going to be good for the skin (it's still a moisturiser at the end of the day) and doesn't actually harm the skin or people in general which a frightening amount of influencer marketing/products now can defo do (fuck goop and the whole "natural" trend, just ugh) that this is really barely anything to me? I don't know if it actually is a big deal or if the current beauty influencer sector has just warped my viewpoint.
There's no backtracking on what's being said on her part, it's just sad to see her dig a hole like this when it's clear what's going on here
Or a friend her phone should be blowing up at least. I guess they are all under the bus.
