Last time I make a vid on mukbang, my stomach kept rumbling the whole time man... Anyway expect another video tomorrow, it'll be sponsored. I got live on twitch a few days a week! www.twitch.tv/mujinofficial Also got some stream highlights: th-cam.com/video/0V7VMrUbq4s/w-d-xo.html
Great vid, as I'm more interested in the Nik meta than the guy himself. I'm on board with the OF theory, but the only thing I don't get is how the weight loss tracks with that. If his primary income source was OF, what was he doing for cash these last couple of years? Some other more contentious rev source? Or is he "rebooting" for another gain? Actually asking, not just trying to poke holes in ur conclusion.
@therealestsparkle it is because people thought he was dumb and delusional. Now, people are just impressed at how well he orchestrated all of this. He did, in fact, do a lot of questionable things, but he gained a lot of profit. Plus this guy is a theater kid, they are always insane
One thing my wise friend told me that the deadly sin Glutton is not centered to just consuming excessive foods and drinks. It could be something more than that. Nikokado truly exemplified what true Gluttony is. In his case, it was just not food but attention.
Thank you Mujin for not glossing over the deranged things he did. I keep seeing people online pretending like he's some genius for his two steps ahead video when he did all these terrible things as a "social experiment". In reality its even worse that he did all those terrible things while understanding the ramifications of his actions. Absolutely disgusting from him.
I thought that when he said it was a social experiment, he was just talking about the part where he posted the old videos and pretended he was fat, not about getting fat
I am saying this from my standpoint and there are probably alot of people who agree with me. I never watched him nor do I right now, I only heard of him because of his ignorance to his weight, specifically because I saw MeatCanyons animation of him. And that is pretty much it. Once in a while you do start to hear of some absurd statemtens or his actions but it became just natural for me to think that that is his persona. I never looked into his past, since I had no personal interest of doing so, nor where their videos that talked specifically about this. I only saw him as some fat guy destroying himself and naturally, if somebody is bettering their life I support that. However the transition from this fat silly guy who cries in almost every video to that skinny guy being serious and telling us he fooled us with videos filmed in advance and you know alot of people questioned their current view on him. Well that is how I saw it though.
Okay thank god someone is talking about the fat fetish stuff. I have to do commission work for art and I swore the dude was just playing an act for a fetish, at least partially. The gain and feed people are VERY specific in what they want. And the angles nick would use made me think he was capturing reference stuff tbh. Thank you mujin
@@chistinelane well, one is a drawn, artistic depiction of fat fetish content and the other is a chronic liar ruining his body as well as his husband's for content.
@@chistinelane there is a massive difference between doing private nsfw drawings and posting fetish material on a sfw large public site with the intention of if going viral, where kids can see....
I deeply recommend Funtie Times’s video about fat acceptance movement and how it started to bring together fat fetishist with overweight people. The most gruesome part of it is that the overweight women who participated in this organisation and feeder-gainer dynamic rarely lived past their 50’. Even in my 600 lb life starred a woman who was likea star/model/covergirl in that community in the 90’/00’, got paid for photoshoots or somewhat and got herself a fatfetishist husband who filed for divorce the moment she dropped significant amount of weight. You can trace them since 60’/70’ and they started to interact on letter/housephone/e-mail era, app is just a natural evolution of it.
What's fucking crazy about the Stephenie Soo one is the fact in his reveal video where he came back skinny, he's clearly mocking her husband who usually wears the exact same type of Panda Head in her photos to hid his identity. Dude was mocking her to the end.
Wasn't that a coincidence? He's been wearing the panda way before Stephanie Soo I advice not to spread information like that as it kind of makes it seem like they have beef with each other in that video when it's actually unrelated, not hating on you thought you should know.^^
@@calculatorgobeepboophahah No. The reason he started wearing the panda mask is because Stephanie said that he looked like a panda in some way and it scared her lol.
I did some digging. Found a different post that indicated he had a grommr account, tried to look for extra details, which then led me to a kiwifarms thread (ew). There was initially an entire google doc on there that mentioned it in the preview right off the bat, but unfortunately the doc is now deleted on that thread. Don't feel like making a grommr account to dig deeper.
I can't say this for certain and I am most likely wrong, but I think it's because a lot of comments I see are about them being happy him living physically healthy and hoping his physical health improves his mental health too, seeing how before he said how he felt he lost self respect, the happiness overshadowed any other issue that centred around him that the whole monologue didn't register as anything malicious BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY
@@Homodemon oh I didn't know that- never watched him at all Only his bad behaviour and health issues from some channels when I was too bored out of my mind, so it's always an out of mind out of sight for me in that regard
I never saw what he did as "2 steps ahead." Putting all the horrible things he's done aside, even if you lose 250lbs successfully, he's still done irreversible damage to his body and organs.
Although he claims this was a social experiment, i feel like this was all an excuse for him to do horrible things as well as gaining weight in the process, antigonzing both himself and weight gain, whereas when he got skinny, its like he supposedly put all that behind him and "clenssed" himself of all the horroble things hes done, even tho hes the same horrible person, just skinnier.
Fr its crazy and its like the bad things he did before like the situation with septh (rotten mango) was bad and its like you can't slide that all under the rug.
oh my god, finally some sane people on the internet. i thought i was the last one amongst all those clapping for him as if he has fixed everything by being skinny.
Damn. She could have walked away, she could have said to not post the video, she could have done something about it since she is an adult and Nick was a potato w health problems. Instead she made accusations just to disprove them herself and then make sure to take a good thumbnail photo.
I love how I originally subscribed to Mujin for the Genshin stuff, but would only watch occasionally. Then he switched to longer videos that cover Game/Vtuber dramas, without it looking like he is picking side yet remains extremely enjoyable to watch. It was when he posted the Selene videos that I started looking forward to his upload , and now I enjoy how he waits sometime before covering mainstream drama. Love ya Mujin, keep up the good work.
Thank you for addressing this problem I found his video “2 steps ahead” is very unpleasant to watch based on his weird voice, words and behavior All he did is just for views
I just found it baffling cause he acted like he was some mastermind and he was slime I tricked you all but like how can you trick someone of you set no obvious clues or hints. Like I'm glad he lost the weight but to act like some big brain evil mastermind it was just so bafflerling to watch
@@momoaa This alright here is such a bad argument cause you lack some common sense. Yes the whole point of YT you are in it for views but we once you add the WHY And the HOW you are getting views you find what the commenters point. He was getting views for literally ego and attention seeking whilst causing so much unnecessary drama and worry in People
Let's not forget that he abused his pet parrot by feeding him whatever he ate (not the food actually meant for birds), and thus he died of horrible diet Absolutely terrible
I always hated how he and everyone called it a "social experiment" when this is less an experiment and more of a "social stunt". Yes he tricked us. but there was no experiement to test with the internet other than trying to get attention. I am happy he is healthier, but he truly feels disingenuous about this, and all the other stuff he did before releasing that video two years ago (which I never knew or saw until after he revealed he was skinny).
He probably said to grab people's attention to talk about him and ganer people to his channel as well as other TH-camrs talking about him to gain. Can only be two steps ahead if you're the only one playing the game.
He's Schrodinger's ---hole. Upload a video on April 1. People bought it, so just keep going. If people got concerned, be could walk it back as if it was just a joke.
Genuinely, he did such terrible stuff in this 'social experiment', and he is acting like just because he lost weight and tricked his audience it erases the bad things he has done.
@@FishboyAbzu Yeah, tbh I haven't seen many comments talking about the "oh-so horrble vile things" nickado did. Only things I did see were about him and Stephanie (but apparently other comments pointed out that whatever drama and such they had was 3 years ago or something like that) It seems like everyone is just jumping on the hate train for no real reason tbh...
I can't stand mukbang myself, I hate the sounds of people eating, and Nikocado's are by far the worst eating noises I've ever heard (the fact that it was on purpose makes it that much more annoying) So I'm very appreciative of this summary.
When it comes to mukbangs I prefer mukbang animation (like Shuya and Foomuk). Or, IRL, someone who not only eats a lot but is very active like Dongeun from a korean show, "Boss in the Mirror". Dongeun is a bodybuilder and a gym trainer, it makes sense that she eats a lot (she's a meat lover btw) cause she is excercising and building muscles for bodybuilding pageants.
@@justinjakeashton Well, if I recall correctly-prove me wrong if you like, this is all I know-mukbang is a trend in South Korea, that it gives the idea that eating alone is seen as pathetic and lonely to most people, given how super competitive that country, even to their own people at times, it can be seen as a form of stress eating while talking to people. The content is reserving for people to have someone to eat alongside them, to drove off the loneliness. Then it got corrupted to justify the gluttonous aspects, and wasting stuff.
@@asbolusarawn5433 you are correct! it also was a sort of counterculture to the table manners ideas as a whole in SK. A lot of the food culture is based on Confucian ideals (dont eat foods out of season, eat fresh, healthy, dont eat a lot of meat, eat until 7/10ths full instead of fully satisfied etc etc) , as well as being more conscientious of those around you. So, many of the SK mukbangs are eating larger portions of meat and messy foods, eating out of season, and eating louder than normal the west definitely corrupted it and didnt understand its origin and why it was a counterculture in the first place lol
I thought before that I will only get annoyed or triggered if I watch him, but later on I couldn't care less about anything about him. But nowadays, I can probably watch, but through other YTuber's perspective. I believe the last one before Mujin's take on this was SunnyV2. I admit I'm interested in internet dramas. They're entertaining. But I learned that watching only without reacting emotionally is something of a newfound approach, at least for me. Afterwards, I'm like "NEXT" 😂.
One thing my wise friend told me that the deadly sin Gluttony is not centered to just consuming excessive foods and drinks. It could be something more than that. Nicokado truly exemplified what true Gluttony is. In his case, it was just not food but attention.
I’m really liking how mujin is moving away from his original content a bit and is covering so many diverse cases. Love this channel Edit: dear lord I went way deeper down this rabbit hole than I should have. Just simply looking up his OF thing on google images will mentally scar anyone. Like Mujin said, don’t look it up.
@@agentepolaris4914 I mean I get it, but if he wants to grow he has to branch out. And he does a good job of it so far, even calling out other TH-camrs with good arguments like he did this video with turkey Tom. Also, genshin is filled with so much controversy and drama that at some point it gets boring to listen to the same points coming out. Almost like the Mr beast thing.
I appreciate that you looked so deeply into this, you actually saw that horrid picture. You know the one Im talking about. Took one for the team in the name of research. Thanks for the video and the deep dive.
Everyone acting as if someone secretly losing weight makes them some kind of genius truly made me lose some faith in humanity. It's just so painfully obvious he's framing it this way in order to have people forget his horrible past actions. Because to his credit, it is a fun narrative that the internet would easily wanna meme about. But no, I guess we're calling anything a social experiment nowadays 🤷♀
I could honestly care less about what he did. Internet drama is pointless to me. However my concern is that people are making him seem like a genius for nearly costing his life with obesity. Like are you Americans forgetting your healthcare ain't free?
This made me realize that I never actually heard Nick's voice and never knew he was Gay. His Thumbnails and titles always felt off and made me uncomfortable ( I also really don't like Mukbang as a genre) and just stayed away from his content I'm not even at 1/4 of the video and I already have an headache Edit: this went a direction I never expected I'm terrified, Mujin remember to delete you search history
I'd heard of him thanks to a subreddit, can't remember which one, but the genre never appealed to me, and the thumbnails definitely didn't help. This whole debacle was the first I'd actually learned about him. And frankly, I didn't wanna know this much!
I heard about him because of moist critical. I thought he was two step ahead in a way he took advantage being fat then starting to lose weight as free content. But now, i wanna bleach my eyes
THANK YOU! Everyone thought I was weird when they showed me his videos and I said they made me uncomfortable, he just gives off the most disgusting vibe
That's like not realizing the model who keeps posting pictures with her feet bare and right in front of the camera on all her pictures is actually a foot fetish model... Is it really so surprising???
@@Duhgel to be fair its still an unexpected thing to hear about Just because it makes sense doesnt mean that one should expect it, it’ll still be unexpected regardless
i never thought about it, but once i heard him say it in the video it it all made sense. i did think he made himself look more disgusting in his videos than any sane person would. the reason he did all that being for some fetish makes a lot of sense. i feel dumb for not realizing this myself honestly since its so obvious now.
if dr jekyll were a real man in the year 2024 he would post a youtube video saying “yeah mr hyde was a Social Experiment, so really it was cool n subversive when I murdered all of those people” n if he said it charmingly enough people would be like “hell yeah we love you dr jekyll”
One of the things I don't like of this is that on his comeback video he started with a panda head on top of his shoulders, which is the way Stephanie's husband shows up in camera to keep his identity hidden. Felt like he was taunting her or sth, didn't like it one bit.
have we talked about the fact that the panda mask nic wears in the beginning of the '2 steps ahead' video was the EXACT same panda mask where stephanie soo's husband usually wear to hide his face on social media because of privacy?
It's a bit weird that anyone sees him in a good light, I thought everyone was just amazed by this years-long scheme, not that him being thin now erases his being a shitbag.
@@norwa3518 OK so since you're struggling. You assumed op's beliefs and what part they were talking about. You have no idea if they *would* (even though that's not even close to how social experiments work) fail or even the basic details of said experiment you're predetermining the outcome of. Aside from a select few the rest of us don't know what was real/act for certain so everything is *just* an opinion.
Some of y'all: How could he have lost all that weight before me?! Me: Y'all do know his bank account looks like a phone number, right?......shits 1000× easier when you got money 🤷🏾♀️
@@momoaawhere's the cope? It's undeniably easier to lose weight when you have large amounts of money and time compared to having little to no money and being busy
@@saturna1576 2 years of time he could focus entirely on that journey because he doesn't have 8-12 hour a day shifts 4-7 days a week making shit money, being exhausted, having other things to do each day. No. I think you're the one downplaying how different the circumstances are and how hard it is to lose weight and be poor in time and money.
@@Rozarez213 Stephanie soo has 3 videos on what happened on her Channel, i highly suggest checking them out as they explain it all better than i could summarize
Tbf, Stephanie's fans have a tendency to be parasocially devoted like if you watch her rotten mango videos (true crime documentaries), a lot of comments back then usually focus on her instead of the stories she tells. She seems like a nice person tho and it doesn't really justify Nico's toxicity lol.
I thought she looked and sounded familiar. I just like how she tells the stories and doesn’t shy away from calling the bad people monsters. She’s a great storyteller.
@@Apt23-v8u nah watch him get away with everything 'cos hes skinny now. I never watched him myself, I can't stand watching people eat. Ive been skinny and fat, and people treat you like a human when skinny and a useless thing deserving of being ignored at best when you're fat.
@@sikul3237it is a real thing, though I think it's more associated with the halo effect in psychology. You are more likely to trust someone if you find them physically attractive or pretty. It just so happens that the vast majority of humanity finds physically fit people as attractive. It's also the reason why most movies, and tv shows for that matter, feature almost exclusively conventionally attractive actors; turns out people want to watch movies where there are people they like to watch. The Halo effect sells very, very well
I feel that... Sometimes I feel like I'm a monster because I'm fat and have stretch marks because this man horrifies me that much I don't want anyone to compare me to him...
This background made me realise he went from a vegan, openly gay youtuber who was capable of holding honest and constructive discussions to.. whatever the past few years was- He physically might look like how he did before all the drama, but he can never undo what he's done in the meantime. I really wonder what direction he's going now, he kind of reminds me of Oli London so maybe he'll become a far right political advocate? It's about the only group of people he hasn't majorly pissed off yet-
@@SnailShoes I don't know about right wing water but i when it comes to belle delphine i remember she does weird things and it helps promoting her adult content.
I love how good your videos always are, they are very easy to follow. Also, as someone whose native language is not English, it is very easy to understand you, you don't go very fast but you don't go so slow as to be boring either. I have never needed to activate the subtitles with your videos. ❤
You deserve more views. This was an interesting perspective. I was never big into nikocado. I used to be back when he was vegan but kinda tuned out during this whole period, it's nice to see this perspective so people can understand both sides of the coin. It is true that a lot of people are forgiving him now hes skinny and justifying all the stuff he did before by calling it a 'social experiment'. It's not right. Great video.
One thing I rarely see brought up is how he admitted or at least alluded to having a restrictive eating disorder while he was vegan, anorexia in particular iirc. It is not unusual for people with EDs to swing wildly into the other direction and/or become addicted to something else if their recovery leaves the root cause for the disorder unaddressed. For example, a lot of the morbidly people who manage to lose the weight and keep it off often become anorexic or orthorexic since the recovery process leaves the reason they ended up like that unaddressed. It is rarer for people with restrictive EDs to swing into the other direction when it comes to food since in my experience they become addicted to abusing substances instead, but I can easily see how in Nick's case the combination of being monetarily compensated + the attention would drive someone with one towards something like binge eating disorder. I don't bring this up for the sake of gossiping, I think this is important to be discussed because unless he has been doing A LOT of mental reassessment and was properly supported while losing the weight, Nick is still suffering from the same mental problems that manifested in him becoming severely underweight as well as severely obese and they aren't just going to go away on their own. If that is the case, I see two outcomes: the first one is he just relapses into slowly gaining back the weight once he starts getting on camera to eat again. For the second, if he is really committed to staying thin this time, it wouldn't surprise me if he started having issues with substance abuse alongside going back into his old restrictive eating mindset. For his sake, I hope I am wrong, but losing such an insane amount of weight basically out of spite while still profiting from his past overeating for years is not exactly something someone who now has a healthy relationship with food would do.
Bro how the hell do you manage to make this high quality content where almost all of them exceed over an hour atleast while also uploading very very often?
bro i didn't think it was this deep this was the best deep dive for this topic (and i think the only one i watched on this topic but lets ignore that) the research and your discoveries probably took a long time and i don't know how you connected the dots so well. really good, keep up the quality content! i like your deep dives / documentaries compared to just plain drama videos, and im glad your expanding out of genshin
Never, not even for a second, did I think of Nikocado as a genius, only as a lunatic. I don't even think he deserves the title of evil genius either, because even though he was very smart in how he was hiding away his secret business under everyone's noses, all that weight and the health problems that came with it were very, VERY real. Even if he did lose all that weight, he still put his body and public image through the ringer for all that. And for what? All the "evil genius" fame he got will inevitably be turned around when more people find out that he was winging it all along. All the evil he's done, drama he's caused and careers he's put at risk haven't suddenly been undone. Sure, he may be filthy rich now, but all that came at a cost. He may think he already paid it by losing all that weight, but when the dust has settled and everybody remembers who he is and what he has done, he will see the interest he's got yet to pay. He sold his soul for all that, and saying you're however many steps ahead won't buy it back.
I am honestly shocked to hear the feeder/gainer lens from a deep dive! Like it's always been there, but I've never heard anyone talk about it. That community deserves better than Nikocado, lol
It's nice of you to name the current year of things that even go on currently, so that when someone watches this in future they know exactly what you talk about. Hearing "yesterday" in a video just to look at the upload date and find out that it was yesterday 11 months ago is really annoying. So from anyone watching this in the future: Thanks!
Your video on the '2 steps ahead ' supervillian Nikacado is probably the best I've seen up to this point and also the views you actually explain make 97.5% sense and the only reason 2½% is missing is because HE himself doesn't know from day to day....I personally believe that Nikacado has realised how to make the most revenue from from TH-cam THAT'S IT nothing else to it...but also flip-flopping (supposedly to keep guessing!) when needed and I he needs to do something else he WILL DO THAT TOO as long as it's making money.....Nikacado probably has more BIG NEWS soon...as he's now used to manipulating anyone/everyone as he's like a massive stellar object with his 'experiments orbiting him...and that's something he's ecstatic about (and the way his content is at ti's moment accidentally made him a step ahead !) Let’s see what happens next shall we!?
i'm so glad you're talking about the problem with Nick. He really did such atrocious things to Stephanie, and everybody seemed to forget what a terrible person he was simply because he did the biggest plot twist in TH-cam ever. As soon as the news dropped the only people I saw keeping it real were Adam McIntyre and you. Thanks Mujin
I was missing D'Angelo Wallace's deep dives into TH-camr stuff. He said he wasn't going to look into N.A. b/c of the vibes he got off the whole situation.... and yeah dudes intuition was seriously on the mark.
LITERALLY WHAT I'M SAYING??? Like cool 'social experiment' or whatever, that didn't excuse the absolute deplorable behavior he did. It's such bullshit that people just sweep it under the rug now.
Ok, hands up if you are like me and stick to your own corner of the algorithm and had 0 exposure to this niko dude prior to the point when everyone started carrying on about him?
His content always looked like softcore to me, he was too specific with his brand of weirdness, but i started noticing it more after i watched an interview with a woman who was groomed into the feederism community (it's on the channel "We are all insane", if anyone's interested).
I'll forever be a Stephanie fan and I'm glad I've never given that man a single view in my entire youtube existence. I will continue to support her as long as nothing bad was done by her.
Damn Mujin you really jumped on the grenade on this one, much respect. I never watched Nick’s stuff and only knew him from videos calling him out. But your video opened my eyes to this, and find it hard to say this, person. This guy in my eyes is Lex Luthor, Joker, and the villain from Seven all rolled up into one. Nick looks at the Seven Deadly Sins like check list.
Tbh people who couldn’t tell that all the drama was fake is actually sad. Makes sense how so many people fall for fake news. If they believed this, they’ll believe anything.
Honestly the only impressive thing he did was lose all that weight so quickly, and I do appreciate what he said about what mukbang is actually for, but like... he was still really terrible. To a lot of people. I think youtubers who said he just wanted attention and it was always about attention + money (but firstly attention) had the right of it. It's always about getting all the attention on him. I'd like to believe he prefers positive attention, but much like a child "any attention is good attention". He'd rather have negative attention than none at all. The fact he could get such a positive response in the comeback probably gave him a rush, but as long as he was getting lots of views I don't think he really cared. What he cares about is keeping people thinking of and talking about him. Edit to say: on the weight loss, the extreme weight loss he went through even if we take into account he lost it in 2 years is insane, and I don't really believe he lost it in a healthy way. Maybe he got surgery or a weight loss drug or something, but there's a reason I didn't say "good", but impressive.
Mujin really went from Genshin content to one of my favourite Commentary/Documentary channels that i know of. People really do evolve and this one's for the best. I'm literally binging all of your documentary/commentary videos right now 😭😭
I'm just glad he didn't pass away from obesity in his quest for content. I find doing things at the expence of your own health or safety for internet fame very dystopian.
It was pretty obvious the moment they broke up. It was all acting. I thought I was the only one who thinks that his entire setup is a form of fetish. It's not too farfetched to assume that Nik and his husband isn't really into that fat fetish, but realized they can make money out of it much like how they make money out of the type of content they make on TH-cam.
@@draconicfeline6177 Yeah. Adds another layer to it. Often times these fetishist have other "usual" or "disturbing" kinks/fetishes they like. So it's like a crossover for them.
Thank you. Nik has always been the same person, skinny or fat. Someone so debased they would do anything for fame and money. No different than the worst of the entertainment industry at large. Mr. Beast used philanthropy to stave off criticism. Nik used being pitiful.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. As someone who has PTSD from SA too, you get weird triggers sometimes, ones you wouldn't think would heavily trigger your PTSD but it makes sense why Nik taking pictures of Stephanie's house the moment she left to go to the bathroom, something he waited to do until she wouldn't know, would be very triggering. She was SAed in her OWN HOME so having the privacy and safety of her home violated even in the slightest ways can be so triggering. And you can tell by how she had a trauma response basically by fawning. A security system is very important to anyone in general but ESPECIALLY someone who has been violated in their own home. I will never EVER think Nik is a good person for this specifically. He can change all he wants to be pretty on the outside but it will never change he's dark and evil on the inside. I didn't even like Stephanie due to, at the time, she was making true crime mukbangs. I like her channel Rotten Mango now. I hope she's doing well since it was a clear dig that he used the panda mask her husband used to use in the video. I can't imagine seeing someone who hurt you and many others so badly getting so much praise for... Getting skinny? Okay? You chose to do this for attention and money. I'm not praising your self harm.
Last time I make a vid on mukbang, my stomach kept rumbling the whole time man... Anyway expect another video tomorrow, it'll be sponsored.

careful mujin, Niko boys will come to you😂
Ppl acting like he hasn’t done all the awful things he has done just bc he got skinny has had me SO ANNOYED
It's because he became a meme pretty much, so everyone ignores his past until later, then he gets into a huge drama.
Can we hit him with the "begone thot!" thing too since he has an Only Fans?
@therealestsparkle it is because people thought he was dumb and delusional. Now, people are just impressed at how well he orchestrated all of this. He did, in fact, do a lot of questionable things, but he gained a lot of profit. Plus this guy is a theater kid, they are always insane

However the transition from this fat silly guy who cries in almost every video to that skinny guy being serious and telling us he fooled us with videos filmed in advance and you know alot of people questioned their current view on him.
Well that is how I saw it though.

Okay thank god someone is talking about the fat fetish stuff. I have to do commission work for art and I swore the dude was just playing an act for a fetish, at least partially.
The gain and feed people are VERY specific in what they want. And the angles nick would use made me think he was capturing reference stuff tbh.

A secret fat fetish community app wasn't something I spected to get from all of this incident. This is nuts
I agree with you, but at the same time, I'm not surprised at all.
That's Nicocado Avocado for you.
People suspected he was stealth-serving the Feeder Kink Community for years.
My first and immediate reaction was "RIGHT WHERE'S MY BLOWTORCH THIS WORLD MUST BURN"
kinda expected this from, i also speculated that Orlin is a feeder and he is getting off to his bf gorging large amounts of food.
I deeply recommend Funtie Times’s video about fat acceptance movement and how it started to bring together fat fetishist with overweight people. The most gruesome part of it is that the overweight women who participated in this organisation and feeder-gainer dynamic rarely lived past their 50’. Even in my 600 lb life starred a woman who was likea star/model/covergirl in that community in the 90’/00’, got paid for photoshoots or somewhat and got herself a fatfetishist husband who filed for divorce the moment she dropped significant amount of weight. You can trace them since 60’/70’ and they started to interact on letter/housephone/e-mail era, app is just a natural evolution of it.
What's fucking crazy about the Stephenie Soo one is the fact in his reveal video where he came back skinny, he's clearly mocking her husband who usually wears the exact same type of Panda Head in her photos to hid his identity.
Dude was mocking her to the end.
stephanie soo's content is garbage, deserved
Wasn't that a coincidence? He's been wearing the panda way before Stephanie Soo I advice not to spread information like that as it kind of makes it seem like they have beef with each other in that video when it's actually unrelated, not hating on you thought you should know.^^
@@calculatorgobeepboophahah No. The reason he started wearing the panda mask is because Stephanie said that he looked like a panda in some way and it scared her lol.
Turkey Tom's video on Shephanie Shoo exposes the discrepancies in her story
I think that's a bit overreaching, their beef was like, 3 years ago? I'm pretty sure they're over it
The fact OnlyFans actually factored into this blew my mind. I never, NEVER, thought of that angle.
I did some digging. Found a different post that indicated he had a grommr account, tried to look for extra details, which then led me to a kiwifarms thread (ew). There was initially an entire google doc on there that mentioned it in the preview right off the bat, but unfortunately the doc is now deleted on that thread. Don't feel like making a grommr account to dig deeper.

@@norwa3518 a cringy middle schooler act, he sounds more punchable than he already was.
I can't say this for certain and I am most likely wrong, but I think it's because a lot of comments I see are about them being happy him living physically healthy and hoping his physical health improves his mental health too, seeing how before he said how he felt he lost self respect, the happiness overshadowed any other issue that centred around him that the whole monologue didn't register as anything malicious
BUT HEY THAT'S JUST A THEORY
@@BlueMoon-vt8zc all that falls apart because he keeps doing mukbangs but now saying cringe shit and being a bald skeleton man while eating noodles
@@Homodemon oh I didn't know that-
never watched him at all
Only his bad behaviour and health issues from some channels when I was too bored out of my mind, so it's always an out of mind out of sight for me in that regard
I never saw what he did as "2 steps ahead." Putting all the horrible things he's done aside, even if you lose 250lbs successfully, he's still done irreversible damage to his body and organs.
Exactly
You're absolutely right. He reduced his life expectancy by at least 10 years.
Yeah. Even for all the money in the world I would never intentionally do to my body what he did… Insane
When i see these comments I'm like: "Are y'all calling someone a genius for destroying their health on purpose?"
2 steps ahead because he was farming easy views I guess?
Although he claims this was a social experiment, i feel like this was all an excuse for him to do horrible things as well as gaining weight in the process, antigonzing both himself and weight gain, whereas when he got skinny, its like he supposedly put all that behind him and "clenssed" himself of all the horroble things hes done, even tho hes the same horrible person, just skinnier.
Fr its crazy and its like the bad things he did before like the situation with septh (rotten mango) was bad and its like you can't slide that all under the rug.

Then he switched to longer videos that cover Game/Vtuber dramas, without it looking like he is picking side yet remains extremely enjoyable to watch.
It was when he posted the Selene videos that I started looking forward to his upload , and now I enjoy how he waits sometime before covering mainstream drama. Love ya Mujin, keep up the good work.

Thank you for addressing this problem
I found his video “2 steps ahead” is very unpleasant to watch based on his weird voice, words and behavior
All he did is just for views
I mean he found something that like bro predicted a trend and caught it lo
I just found it baffling cause he acted like he was some mastermind and he was slime I tricked you all but like how can you trick someone of you set no obvious clues or hints. Like I'm glad he lost the weight but to act like some big brain evil mastermind it was just so bafflerling to watch
He is right tho. He was two steps ahead.
The video we are commenting on was made for the exclusive purpose of views, thats not really a valid criticism
@@momoaa This alright here is such a bad argument cause you lack some common sense. Yes the whole point of YT you are in it for views but we once you add the WHY And the HOW you are getting views you find what the commenters point. He was getting views for literally ego and attention seeking whilst causing so much unnecessary drama and worry in People
Let's not forget that he abused his pet parrot by feeding him whatever he ate (not the food actually meant for birds), and thus he died of horrible diet
Absolutely terrible
This specific thing has no backing to it whatsoever, the same parrot shows up in later videos but is older.
The parrot is still alive
I always hated how he and everyone called it a "social experiment" when this is less an experiment and more of a "social stunt". Yes he tricked us. but there was no experiement to test with the internet other than trying to get attention. I am happy he is healthier, but he truly feels disingenuous about this, and all the other stuff he did before releasing that video two years ago (which I never knew or saw until after he revealed he was skinny).
He probably said to grab people's attention to talk about him and ganer people to his channel as well as other TH-camrs talking about him to gain. Can only be two steps ahead if you're the only one playing the game.
Stephanie Sue pretty much called it when she tried to warn people how manipulative this guy could be.
I guess you're uncomfortable witht he fact you were one of millions manipulated in his social experiment xD
He's Schrodinger's ---hole. Upload a video on April 1. People bought it, so just keep going. If people got concerned, be could walk it back as if it was just a joke.

It seems like everyone is just jumping on the hate train for no real reason tbh...
I can't stand mukbang myself, I hate the sounds of people eating, and Nikocado's are by far the worst eating noises I've ever heard (the fact that it was on purpose makes it that much more annoying)
So I'm very appreciative of this summary.
My sister hates me whenever i chewed loud (i wasnt, maybe she has louder ears than I have) but ironically she watches Mukbang lmao
I don't get why people watch this crap either. It's the bottom of the barrel in terms of food content quality.
When it comes to mukbangs I prefer mukbang animation (like Shuya and Foomuk). Or, IRL, someone who not only eats a lot but is very active like Dongeun from a korean show, "Boss in the Mirror". Dongeun is a bodybuilder and a gym trainer, it makes sense that she eats a lot (she's a meat lover btw) cause she is excercising and building muscles for bodybuilding pageants.
@@justinjakeashton Well, if I recall correctly-prove me wrong if you like, this is all I know-mukbang is a trend in South Korea, that it gives the idea that eating alone is seen as pathetic and lonely to most people, given how super competitive that country, even to their own people at times, it can be seen as a form of stress eating while talking to people. The content is reserving for people to have someone to eat alongside them, to drove off the loneliness. Then it got corrupted to justify the gluttonous aspects, and wasting stuff.
@@asbolusarawn5433 you are correct! it also was a sort of counterculture to the table manners ideas as a whole in SK. A lot of the food culture is based on Confucian ideals (dont eat foods out of season, eat fresh, healthy, dont eat a lot of meat, eat until 7/10ths full instead of fully satisfied etc etc) , as well as being more conscientious of those around you. So, many of the SK mukbangs are eating larger portions of meat and messy foods, eating out of season, and eating louder than normal
the west definitely corrupted it and didnt understand its origin and why it was a counterculture in the first place lol
I guess my greatest achievement is not giving his channel any view at all. As of this date, his latest video is borderline breaching 50M.
Proud to be on the same team with you.
I didn't watch Nicocado's videos once. And I never will.
Me too, I never watched, but that's because I get disgusted at fat people as a former relatively fat kid.
I thought before that I will only get annoyed or triggered if I watch him, but later on I couldn't care less about anything about him. But nowadays, I can probably watch, but through other YTuber's perspective. I believe the last one before Mujin's take on this was SunnyV2. I admit I'm interested in internet dramas. They're entertaining. But I learned that watching only without reacting emotionally is something of a newfound approach, at least for me. Afterwards, I'm like "NEXT" 😂.
same, mostly because i don't like fat people videos at the first place.
yeah, I always felt disgusted and felt creeped out whenever I saw him
One thing my wise friend told me that the deadly sin Gluttony is not centered to just consuming excessive foods and drinks. It could be something more than that.
Nicokado truly exemplified what true Gluttony is. In his case, it was just not food but attention.
I’m really liking how mujin is moving away from his original content a bit and is covering so many diverse cases. Love this channel
Edit: dear lord I went way deeper down this rabbit hole than I should have. Just simply looking up his OF thing on google images will mentally scar anyone. Like Mujin said, don’t look it up.
While I like how he covers different stuff, I'm kind of sad he isn't talking about Genshin that much, since that's the reason I subscribed.

Everyone acting as if someone secretly losing weight makes them some kind of genius truly made me lose some faith in humanity. It's just so painfully obvious he's framing it this way in order to have people forget his horrible past actions. Because to his credit, it is a fun narrative that the internet would easily wanna meme about. But no, I guess we're calling anything a social experiment nowadays 🤷♀
I could honestly care less about what he did. Internet drama is pointless to me. However my concern is that people are making him seem like a genius for nearly costing his life with obesity. Like are you Americans forgetting your healthcare ain't free?

Summary: Two steps ahead
So basically the video starts off by-
so real
Omg Mujin will have PTSD the rest of his life just to get us the best rabbit hole content. My prayers go out to you, Mujin.
Nikocado just reminds us of that one annoying classmate at school who only wants attention.
He reminds me of the moron licking windows in Special Ed.
He’s an energy vampire.
This made me realize that I never actually heard Nick's voice and never knew he was Gay.
His Thumbnails and titles always felt off and made me uncomfortable ( I also really don't like Mukbang as a genre) and just stayed away from his content
I'm not even at 1/4 of the video and I already have an headache
Edit: this went a direction I never expected I'm terrified, Mujin remember to delete you search history
I'd heard of him thanks to a subreddit, can't remember which one, but the genre never appealed to me, and the thumbnails definitely didn't help. This whole debacle was the first I'd actually learned about him. And frankly, I didn't wanna know this much!
I heard about him because of moist critical. I thought he was two step ahead in a way he took advantage being fat then starting to lose weight as free content. But now, i wanna bleach my eyes
THANK YOU! Everyone thought I was weird when they showed me his videos and I said they made me uncomfortable, he just gives off the most disgusting vibe
Idk I always thought he was gay. I also don't know what that has to do with this video
Finally, Mujin's video about the most famous new century villain.
Nicokado having a feeder k1nk was absolutely not a thing I expected to hear today
Why...? It makes sense, just look at the content and the drama surrounding it lmao
That's like not realizing the model who keeps posting pictures with her feet bare and right in front of the camera on all her pictures is actually a foot fetish model...
Is it really so surprising???
it makes sense tho.
@@Duhgel to be fair its still an unexpected thing to hear about
Just because it makes sense doesnt mean that one should expect it, it’ll still be unexpected regardless
i never thought about it, but once i heard him say it in the video it it all made sense. i did think he made himself look more disgusting in his videos than any sane person would. the reason he did all that being for some fetish makes a lot of sense.
i feel dumb for not realizing this myself honestly since its so obvious now.
This... makes a frightening amount of sense. It would also explain why he CONTINUES to overeat even after losing all that weight.
if dr jekyll were a real man in the year 2024 he would post a youtube video saying “yeah mr hyde was a Social Experiment, so really it was cool n subversive when I murdered all of those people” n if he said it charmingly enough people would be like “hell yeah we love you dr jekyll”
One of the things I don't like of this is that on his comeback video he started with a panda head on top of his shoulders, which is the way Stephanie's husband shows up in camera to keep his identity hidden. Felt like he was taunting her or sth, didn't like it one bit.
A mujin video at this time?!
My life is blessed now
Holy Detective Mujin on the case! Never would I ever thought about the adult content angle for someone like that...
have we talked about the fact that the panda mask nic wears in the beginning of the '2 steps ahead' video was the EXACT same panda mask where stephanie soo's husband usually wear to hide his face on social media because of privacy?
he pretended to be disabled for money so I don't see the point of his "experiment"
It's a bit weird that anyone sees him in a good light, I thought everyone was just amazed by this years-long scheme, not that him being thin now erases his being a shitbag.

He physically might look like how he did before all the drama, but he can never undo what he's done in the meantime.

You deserve more views. This was an interesting perspective. I was never big into nikocado. I used to be back when he was vegan but kinda tuned out during this whole period, it's nice to see this perspective so people can understand both sides of the coin. It is true that a lot of people are forgiving him now hes skinny and justifying all the stuff he did before by calling it a 'social experiment'. It's not right. Great video.
One thing I rarely see brought up is how he admitted or at least alluded to having a restrictive eating disorder while he was vegan, anorexia in particular iirc. It is not unusual for people with EDs to swing wildly into the other direction and/or become addicted to something else if their recovery leaves the root cause for the disorder unaddressed. For example, a lot of the morbidly people who manage to lose the weight and keep it off often become anorexic or orthorexic since the recovery process leaves the reason they ended up like that unaddressed. It is rarer for people with restrictive EDs to swing into the other direction when it comes to food since in my experience they become addicted to abusing substances instead, but I can easily see how in Nick's case the combination of being monetarily compensated + the attention would drive someone with one towards something like binge eating disorder. I don't bring this up for the sake of gossiping, I think this is important to be discussed because unless he has been doing A LOT of mental reassessment and was properly supported while losing the weight, Nick is still suffering from the same mental problems that manifested in him becoming severely underweight as well as severely obese and they aren't just going to go away on their own. If that is the case, I see two outcomes: the first one is he just relapses into slowly gaining back the weight once he starts getting on camera to eat again. For the second, if he is really committed to staying thin this time, it wouldn't surprise me if he started having issues with substance abuse alongside going back into his old restrictive eating mindset. For his sake, I hope I am wrong, but losing such an insane amount of weight basically out of spite while still profiting from his past overeating for years is not exactly something someone who now has a healthy relationship with food would do.
I remember what he did to Stephanie Soo so when the creepy Two Steps ahead video came out, my opinion of him didn't change

i like your deep dives / documentaries compared to just plain drama videos, and im glad your expanding out of genshin
Never, not even for a second, did I think of Nikocado as a genius, only as a lunatic.
I don't even think he deserves the title of evil genius either, because even though he was very smart in how he was hiding away his secret business under everyone's noses, all that weight and the health problems that came with it were very, VERY real. Even if he did lose all that weight, he still put his body and public image through the ringer for all that. And for what? All the "evil genius" fame he got will inevitably be turned around when more people find out that he was winging it all along. All the evil he's done, drama he's caused and careers he's put at risk haven't suddenly been undone. Sure, he may be filthy rich now, but all that came at a cost. He may think he already paid it by losing all that weight, but when the dust has settled and everybody remembers who he is and what he has done, he will see the interest he's got yet to pay. He sold his soul for all that, and saying you're however many steps ahead won't buy it back.
I am honestly shocked to hear the feeder/gainer lens from a deep dive! Like it's always been there, but I've never heard anyone talk about it. That community deserves better than Nikocado, lol
he finally walked 2 steps ahead and now thinks he tricked all of us

Bro thinks he's Focalors
STOP WHY IS THIS SO REAL 😭💀
I blame caribert for completing the loom of fate
So who's furina
The "watching poor people struggle" was the nail in the coffin for me. I saw it when it was posted. So not cool. He's an a$$.
It's nice of you to name the current year of things that even go on currently, so that when someone watches this in future they know exactly what you talk about.
Hearing "yesterday" in a video just to look at the upload date and find out that it was yesterday 11 months ago is really annoying.
So from anyone watching this in the future: Thanks!
That was a wild ride. I'm sorry you had to see that picture. 😭
Your video on the '2 steps ahead ' supervillian Nikacado is probably the best I've seen up to this point and also the views you actually explain make 97.5% sense and the only reason 2½% is missing is because HE himself doesn't know from day to day....I personally believe that Nikacado has realised how to make the most revenue from from TH-cam THAT'S IT nothing else to it...but also flip-flopping (supposedly to keep guessing!) when needed and I he needs to do something else he WILL DO THAT TOO as long as it's making money.....Nikacado probably has more BIG NEWS soon...as he's now used to manipulating anyone/everyone as he's like a massive stellar object with his 'experiments orbiting him...and that's something he's ecstatic about (and the way his content is at ti's moment accidentally made him a step ahead !) Let’s see what happens next shall we!?
never got the appeal behind this guy or why people wasted money for anything he did. it's so odd
That was such a wild watch. I always thought it simply was too convenient to be a well-played social experiment. Thanks for the deep dive!
i'm so glad you're talking about the problem with Nick. He really did such atrocious things to Stephanie, and everybody seemed to forget what a terrible person he was simply because he did the biggest plot twist in TH-cam ever. As soon as the news dropped the only people I saw keeping it real were Adam McIntyre and you. Thanks Mujin
I was missing D'Angelo Wallace's deep dives into TH-camr stuff. He said he wasn't going to look into N.A. b/c of the vibes he got off the whole situation.... and yeah dudes intuition was seriously on the mark.
LITERALLY WHAT I'M SAYING??? Like cool 'social experiment' or whatever, that didn't excuse the absolute deplorable behavior he did. It's such bullshit that people just sweep it under the rug now.
Ok, hands up if you are like me and stick to your own corner of the algorithm and had 0 exposure to this niko dude prior to the point when everyone started carrying on about him?
His content always looked like softcore to me, he was too specific with his brand of weirdness, but i started noticing it more after i watched an interview with a woman who was groomed into the feederism community (it's on the channel "We are all insane", if anyone's interested).
I'll forever be a Stephanie fan and I'm glad I've never given that man a single view in my entire youtube existence. I will continue to support her as long as nothing bad was done by her.
she is a bad person, do some research. Also just telling true crime while eating mukbang feels so disrespectful, i will not support anyone who does so
@yesiwillstealurwig6589 she doesn't do that anymore. I'd rather follow someone who listens and tries to correct their behavior.
From what I've heard about this whole thing, it just seems like a long-winded way to say "is'sa prank bro!!"
Damn Mujin you really jumped on the grenade on this one, much respect. I never watched Nick’s stuff and only knew him from videos calling him out. But your video opened my eyes to this, and find it hard to say this, person. This guy in my eyes is Lex Luthor, Joker, and the villain from Seven all rolled up into one. Nick looks at the Seven Deadly Sins like check list.
Tbh people who couldn’t tell that all the drama was fake is actually sad. Makes sense how so many people fall for fake news. If they believed this, they’ll believe anything.
ZS control the world
@ what is ZS?
Honestly the only impressive thing he did was lose all that weight so quickly, and I do appreciate what he said about what mukbang is actually for, but like... he was still really terrible. To a lot of people. I think youtubers who said he just wanted attention and it was always about attention + money (but firstly attention) had the right of it. It's always about getting all the attention on him. I'd like to believe he prefers positive attention, but much like a child "any attention is good attention". He'd rather have negative attention than none at all. The fact he could get such a positive response in the comeback probably gave him a rush, but as long as he was getting lots of views I don't think he really cared. What he cares about is keeping people thinking of and talking about him.
Edit to say: on the weight loss, the extreme weight loss he went through even if we take into account he lost it in 2 years is insane, and I don't really believe he lost it in a healthy way. Maybe he got surgery or a weight loss drug or something, but there's a reason I didn't say "good", but impressive.
Mujin really went from Genshin content to one of my favourite Commentary/Documentary channels that i know of. People really do evolve and this one's for the best. I'm literally binging all of your documentary/commentary videos right now 😭😭
You know Mujin's voice really fits a lawyer
I'm just glad he didn't pass away from obesity in his quest for content.
I find doing things at the expence of your own health or safety for internet fame very dystopian.
Some people will just do anything for money and attention
What he did was not a social experiment (no control, no hypothesis, no method, etc.). He participated in a social stunt.
He loves feeling superior. Back in the videos he always called his viewer peasants. Now he calls them dumb for being "fooled".
9:40 the way my smile dropped............
It's feel disgusting actually
@@Onimai1 what
Yeah he's playing the villain, it's an act.
the variety this channel has, from genshin goofy ahh events to world famous youtubers
oh and kurosanji.
You know what's so awful. He's wearing a panda head the same way that Stephanie Soo's fiancé is basically recognized by a panda.
It was pretty obvious the moment they broke up. It was all acting. I thought I was the only one who thinks that his entire setup is a form of fetish.
It's not too farfetched to assume that Nik and his husband isn't really into that fat fetish, but realized they can make money out of it much like how they make money out of the type of content they make on TH-cam.
They both look like babies and act like babies.
@@draconicfeline6177 Yeah. Adds another layer to it. Often times these fetishist have other "usual" or "disturbing" kinks/fetishes they like. So it's like a crossover for them.
Thank you. Nik has always been the same person, skinny or fat. Someone so debased they would do anything for fame and money. No different than the worst of the entertainment industry at large. Mr. Beast used philanthropy to stave off criticism. Nik used being pitiful.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS. As someone who has PTSD from SA too, you get weird triggers sometimes, ones you wouldn't think would heavily trigger your PTSD but it makes sense why Nik taking pictures of Stephanie's house the moment she left to go to the bathroom, something he waited to do until she wouldn't know, would be very triggering. She was SAed in her OWN HOME so having the privacy and safety of her home violated even in the slightest ways can be so triggering. And you can tell by how she had a trauma response basically by fawning. A security system is very important to anyone in general but ESPECIALLY someone who has been violated in their own home. I will never EVER think Nik is a good person for this specifically. He can change all he wants to be pretty on the outside but it will never change he's dark and evil on the inside. I didn't even like Stephanie due to, at the time, she was making true crime mukbangs. I like her channel Rotten Mango now.
I hope she's doing well since it was a clear dig that he used the panda mask her husband used to use in the video. I can't imagine seeing someone who hurt you and many others so badly getting so much praise for... Getting skinny? Okay? You chose to do this for attention and money. I'm not praising your self harm.
if i went through the amount of Nikocado Avocado content u went through id be losing so many brain cells so thank u for taking one for the team
