The online personality, who gained recognition for political commentary and appearances alongside Hasan Piker, has been accused of sending unsolicited messages, threatening women, and sharing explicit videos in private conversations.
One woman, Marina, stated that Peter once claimed he could 'ruin her life' because others 'liked' him more, while another, Jessica Starling, shared that he had sent an explicit video of himself during a message exchange.
Starling, a sex worker, described the act as an example of 'sex pest behaviour,' criticising the influencer for exploiting his online platform.
Peter later posted a statement taking 'full responsibility for making people uncomfortable,' admitting to sending unsolicited messages and behaving inappropriately, though he denied more severe claims. He has since deleted his apology and made his account private, stating that he is participating in an 'intensive outpatient therapy program.'

The controversy has prompted further discussion after Piker addressed it on Twitch. He stated, 'That's, like, straight-forward creep shit. Okay? If that's what you guys are referencing as drama, you're a psycho. This dude, apparently, was all up-and-down, being a f**king pest, and it's completely unacceptable.'

Ludwig discusses multistreaming shift and charity challenges on State Farm's Gamerhood
Ludwig has reflected on his most intense charity stunts and addressed his move to multistreaming during the fourth season of State Farm's Gamerhood competition. The streaming series features well-known online personalities competing in video game and physical challenges to raise funds for charity. Returning for his third season, Ludwig joins figures like Mark Phillips and Berleezy in this year's competition, aiming to raise part of the $100,000 prize pool for causes they support. In an on-set interview, Ludwig spoke about the lengths he's gone to for charity, including his widely viewed 2022 Subathon 2.0, where he spent 50 hours in a glass box. That stream raised over $300,000 for Alveus Sanctuary and No Kid Hungry. However, he highlighted another challenge as one of the most exhausting: playing through the entire Rock Band catalogue to support wildfire relief. 'It took like 12 hours,' Ludwig said, adding that the event raised $250,000 and involved punishments like eating unpleasant food. Ludwig also discussed his recent transition to multistreaming on both YouTube and Twitch. While previously hesitant, he noted that YouTube's superior VOD system influenced his decision. 'When you stream on YouTube, it's like a catalog forever,' he said, pointing to its usefulness for viewers. Episodes of Gamerhood air every Friday in August at 6 PM ET across YouTube, Twitch, and participants' own platforms. Ludwig confirmed plans for more fundraising events, including a potential return of the Streamer Games and Fast 50, as he continues to organise high-profile community competitions for charitable causes.

Markiplier addresses AI backlash, clarifies stance in livestream and explains AI thumbnail incident
YouTuber Markiplier has addressed growing criticism surrounding his use and commentary on artificial intelligence, following recent controversy within his online community. In a livestream, he responded to concerns about his podcast's usage of ChatGPT, an AI-generated image in a thumbnail, and AI-related moderation on his subreddit. Markiplier stated that his previous comments on generative AI were jokes made to highlight its risks, not endorsements. 'There are reasons to be critical of [AI] the way that it currently is,' he said. 'It's a problem when used without safeguards or proper oversight.' He added that his interest in AI was primarily driven by a desire to inform audiences about the technology's potential dangers. 'There isn't this need to be so scared of [AI], but there is a need to be aware of what you're afraid of,' he explained. Markiplier also clarified that the AI-generated thumbnail in question was a stock image unknowingly used by his editor. In a Reddit post, he wrote that such images are now common on stock photo websites, often replacing real photography. Further addressing the issue, he explained that AI discussions were restricted on his subreddit due to escalating hostility and threats toward him and his moderators, not to suppress dissent. He reaffirmed his opposition by pointing to subreddit rules that prohibit posting AI-generated content. Markiplier also spoke about his support for Real Good AI, a foundation focused on developing AI tools for positive human applications. He concluded by reiterating the importance of creativity: 'There's still value in pursuing artistic endeavours. There always will be as long as we're human.'

Hideo Kojima praises Fantastic Four reboot for retro-futuristic style and efficient storytelling structure
Renowned game creator Hideo Kojima has publicly praised Fantastic Four: First Steps, describing the film as 'truly fantastic' and highlighting its unique retro-futuristic aesthetic. Kojima shared his thoughts on his official X (formerly Twitter) account, where he applauded the film's immersive 1960s world-building and thematic tone. Kojima noted the film's attention to detail in recreating a stylized 1960s environment, citing its fashion, architecture, branding, and even food items. 'Not only the fashion, color schemes, design, cityscapes, TV and anime programs, costumes and spacesuits, rockets, and cars, but even corporate names, food items (cereals, soft drinks), and storage media (magnetic tapes, discs) are thoroughly created with a 1960s look and sense of the future,' he wrote. Watched 'Fantastic Four: First Steps.' From the fashion, color palette, design, cityscape, TV and cartoon shows, to the costumes, spacesuits, rockets, cars—not to mention company names, food items (cereal, soda), and storage media (magnetic tapes, discs)—everything is crafted… — HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) August 3, 2025 Drawing comparisons to Bewitched and The Incredibles, Kojima praised the film's family-centered narrative and lighter tone. He suggested that Fantastic Four: First Steps reflects a broader shift in superhero storytelling post-pandemic—from darker realism to colorful nostalgia. Kojima also applauded the film's storytelling efficiency, particularly its choice to explain the team's backstory through an in-universe television program. He explained that detailing the origin story in full would have slowed the film's pace, noting that the streamlined narrative successfully immerses audiences from the start. 'In terms of being the 'First Steps' to 'restart' this series, it's truly 'Fantastic,'' he added. While Kojima's praise adds to the film's critical momentum, its commercial performance tells a more mixed story. After a strong debut, the film is projected to earn around $42 million in its second weekend—a 64% drop. Despite that, it has crossed the $200 million mark in ten days, making it the highest-grossing MCU film of the year so far. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner, and Ralph Ineson as Galactus.
