⚠ Keep in mind that the claims of child labor talked about in this video are ALLEGATIONS-allegations that, as of now, have been likely disproven. Things could always change with this story in the future and I will do my best to keep y'all updated!
Anyone remember when Youtooz made a Big Chungus figure without Warner Bros' consent and was blocking people on Twitter for pointing out that it's unliscensed.
Yea, that is true. Youtooz has a lot of amazing merch but (RARELY) there choices can be.. questionable. Some merch not having actual license, acusing x smart plushies for copying or some shi-. Idk man, youtooz gotta calm down cause I’ve ordered a lot of stuff before and i do NOT want to stop buying there amazing products for a stupid controversy.
@@Banana_08329 Im gonna just say it, YouTooz' products flat out suck. Even when they make figures for my favorite franchises I never buy them, they look terrible lmfao
@@Banana_08329 no, their products look and always did look like garbage. Just look at their youtober figures: the ugliest most derivative merch offerings I've ever seen. And fnaf stuff is no different, I just hope Scott looks at the offerings before giving out licenses next time
@@pipisochkaaaa IM GONNA BE REAL, most RUclipsr youtooz plushies suck. I have these old plushies WAY back like 4 years ago, and looking at them now. They kinda are ahh. They always stick there logo eyes on all of it (sometimes it actually looks good while others it looks awful.) and idk.. it's not really worth it. 80 bucks for two of those expensive plushies 4 years ago and now it's 90. HUH?
I believe what XSmart wanted to say with the mention of scott in their kane carter response was "if we really used child labour and we're completely aware of it, we would just run away immediately instead of trying to make things right". Basically they want to say that if they had child labour practices, they would be incredibly scummy and as a result would not try to make stuff better, which can explain the drake ass response
So not only did Youtooz make this about themselves. They doubled down and started accusing Xsmart, pulling the “foreign company has kid workers” stereotype card. (The audacity!) Plus Xsmart didn’t do very well with their attempts to defend themselves with bad English. (Kane calling them out because of that.) But they did kinda save themselves with that mini tour of their plush making
Unless I'm missing something, I haven't seen no one at Youtooz accusing this guy of child labor? He says they did accuse him, but has not show where, how or when this happened.
@@whentheyD I don't know man, I don't think we should trust the guy without evidence just because he wrote a long statement about it. This just reminds me of cancelling and if I learned anything about it, it is to wait for evidence and not just trust people and their word alone.
Yeah, I have the withered Bonnie and Foxy plushies from them (that was before official withered plushies became a thing and I didn’t feel like waiting anymore). And It’s honestly pretty telling if a bootleg company can make better quality FNAF plushies than Funko. Funko really doesn’t try with their FNAF plushies half of the time.
When it comes to "safety standards", it could refer to the quality of the materials that is used in the plushies' construction: chemicals in dyes, possible lead levels, contaminants in general storage of the products, etc. These are problems in bootleg products in general.
If I had to guess, the "is it safe for children" and arguably the child labor claims comes from insecurity. Youtooz may realize they had a poor case since the only things that look similar are the collectible logos so they pulled the "think of the children" card. You can't get a worse claim as a company than child labor, right? Then again, I'm not in the FNAF loop so who knows. I'm just going off experience because I see that argument everywhere.
Said this twice in the comments already but, like, YouTooz's daycare attendant plushies have poorly sewn bells that fall off constantly...I don't think they should be calling anyone else's plushies "unsafe for children" lol
@@VoidMcNoid That was partially my plan from the start. The plush I wanted was a pre-order. Part of me also doesn't believe in boycotting companies, so there's that.
Might also be culture barriers or personal hangups at play, since the priorities of what he's responding to and the intensity with which he responds seem strange to me, but might be considered normal there? I don't know though, I could be pulling that out of my ass.
@@bewearstar9462in plenty of countries even though people are taught english as a second language many don’t retain the info very well, even if taught from a young age. yknow the stereotype of americans forgetting all the spanish/french/german they learned after high school? yeah. even with all that teaching if they aren’t using it regularly they’re bound to get worse at it, and that’s assuming it was taught to them competently in the first place
As someone who collects plushies, I believe the accusations about the plushies themselves not being safe for children might be about the fabric or stuffing. Most children's toys have to be fire resistant in certain countries, so they may be accusing the fabric of not being fire resistant? That's the only thing I can think of other than bad stuffing you can find in Temu bootleg toys that's got plastic chunks in it that could make a plushie unsafe. Some people may say dyes could cause issues, but those mostly wash out or would be a more public issue if those were bad since it's harder to cover up rashes caused by toxic dye work.
The factory videos also show quite a clean and well kept enviroment as well. The equipment looks new and well managed, nothing seems broken or beaten up. Yeah it could well be staged, but it's a hell of a lot of effort in something that could easily have just.. not been done. Especially to that level
I believe when Xsmart refers to custom characters they are not referring to custom OC plushes, but rather making original patterns/designs for their FNAF plushes that differ from other's such as YouTooz
Actually pretty sure the youtooz ceo didn't even accuse them of using child labor. In a reddit thread, he said that knockoff companies that manufacture products in china COULD use child labor, but he wasn't specifically talking about xsmart, nor did he definitively say that anyone used child labor. That's all I saw though, he could have accused him of using child labor elsewhere, I can just see how that reddit comment could be misinterpreted as an accusation towards xsmart
yeah especially if the xmart guy deosnt speak english fluently or is using some sort of app to translate i can see how he might think its a direct accusation that he wants to get ahead of, especially since there is an issue of child labor in his country.
That's pretty crap when you put in that they sell hundreds of figures a day for 30$ each, I was personally never a fan of Youtooz since Funko grew on me from the start & it was a 50/50 chance their waves would be good, but personally it sounds to me Youtooz shouldn't be making accusations if they can't make good ones
having grown up reading badly translated versions of vocaloid songs and bad translations of different asian media, i feel like the xsmart rep really just doesn't have the best handle on english. the sentence structure of different asian languages are very different from english and so when someone's trying to translate from language to the other in their head it definitely is gonna come out in a structure more similar to their original first language. i highly doubt the guy was trying to go 'yeah kids have the ability to do these difficult tasks' with the 'do you think kids can do this shit' type question. it reads as a 'come on do you really think this is a plausible accusation?' type sentence.
i really doubt Xsmart's bootlegs plushie's had child labor involved because their quality is too high compared too your typical bootleg and i don't think child labor would be able to produce such high quality plushie's
YouTooz can't be telling other companies that their designs are unsafe for children when they literally have the bells on their own Daycare Attendant plushies constantly falling off...
I’m wondering if they assumed they use child labor because they are located in Vietnam and a lot of racist stereotypes include that if it’s made in Asia it must mean it was made in a sweatshop
Youtooz definitely shouldn’t have made this claim, but keep in mind that funko DEFINITELY COULDN’T have, since around 2 weeks ago, it was confirmed that funko lost the license to make fnaf plushies and action figures (funko pops are still fine i think, just not the special things only fnaf has) Like shut up funko your not in the friend group anymore. Atleast youtooz hqs the slightest amount of right to do so
Eh Funko was 50/50 chance they'd be good, one year will be good (Dreadbear DLC), the next bad (Tie Dye), then good again (Ruin) But yeah I agree with the Youtooz part, they shouldn't make the claim since they can't make good accusations
I'm with Xsmart bro. They're actually making high quality plushies of FNAF characters we've all wanted to have as plushies for years now. YouTooz sees the love they aren't getting and don't like that, the obviously false claim of Withered Bonnie shows me their main priority is obtaining licenses and that's it.
God, given the hole that Youtooz is digging itself, now I really hope that the lawsuit resolves such that (after making 100% such there’s no child labor cause wtf those allegations) XSmart gets official licensing rights to make fnaf stuff
I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet, but Youtooz technically filed a false copyright claim. Yes, they have a license to create fnaf products. However, they do not own the copyright to fnaf. That falls to Scott himself. And, under US law, the only person who can legally file a copyright claim is the copyright holder thelmselves. So, Youtooz has 0 legal right to file a copyright claim/takedown in this scenario.
Very true, only one they could do is theft of design which was a very horrible accusation to a plush that came out maybe a whole year before theirs did
Regardless of what you think of the designs (I’m honestly mixed as well) the quality of the withered plushies are insanely good. I have the prototypes and if the manufactured plushes are the same then you’ll be getting not 1 single print on any of the plushies, really soft suede feeling fabric, and really firm plushies, like they’re stuffed really good. The qualities there
In my opinion I agree with you that YouTooz is I just trying to eliminate the competition. I don't see the resemblance in the X smart global withered Bonnie and youtooz withered Bonnie and I do agree with you again where if X smart global is innocent they are really making it look like they're not but that's my opinion and I'm not trying to choose sides.
Yeah & last time I checked Scott doesn't do well with bad people such as the creators of Flumtpy's & FNAF+, so... This could probably come out bad for YouTooz
@@Tweper Yeah. It was an example of a dangerous material used in some products. I don't know enough about fabrics and plushies in general to know what sort of dangerous materials can be used on them.
The main reason I’m hesitant on even believing the child labor claims is the sole fact that like………..Xsmart is a bootleg plush company that has a pretty good online presence and seems to hire other RUclipsrs specifically Fnaf plush RUclipsrs to market their plushies, so if they were also committing child labor………..thats just very bold?(I think that’s the word, if not someone give me another word for scummy confidence) like you have to be very confident that ur not gonna get caught at any point especially since your already selling bootlegs that can be copystriked at any time by the original creator.
And yeah I agree youtooz shouldn’t have copystriked them. Especially if Scott already has a lawsuit against xsmart, it’s just very unnecessary for them to try to get involved at that point.
Idk if anyone else has said it or if it's mentioned later in the video (I'm only about 7.5 minutes in) but safety for children's toys includes the materials they're made out of. Quite a few bootleg toys use lead in their paint, so that is also the type of safety they mean, along with choking hazards, etc.
the bag design is simple so i doubt you can really claim one owns the design. its just the logo centered. feel like that would be common for many products, you can't say you own the design. it makes no sense if thats the thing since it just a logo on the plastic bag. are they mean to cover it or something?
Yeah, that's a big old nothing burger of a complaint. A "design" that simplistic (literally just text and one rounded square shape with punched-put text) is about as lazy of a watermark as you can get. Anyone can come up with that in five minutes. YouTooz still does not have a case.
I used to be in a factory that creates custom plushies, pillows, cups, etc. And while some do use CL, other places use people with severe disabilities such as blindness, lack of limbs or extreme case of autism where a person just can't talk at all and has a strange face that's like, dismorphed. It's sad to see it but they get paid, right? Well, not much sadly, those people landed there because the government just said "sorry, we can't help you but you can be a sweatshop worker". It's a mess and I'm not saying that Xsmart is doing it, I'm just saying that this is a common practice around the world.
@@frostthefox702 same with the bag but I guess I do see your point, just saying if it can be stupid as a bag, a box could be copyrighted for the exact same thing, but you are correct you can't do much with a clear bag
I mean, when your opponent throws at you something so random and with out any proves, it can just throw you off guard without understanding how to properly answer it. I think that exectly what happend here
A couple of things: I believe the CEO of youtooz made a comment in a q&a about bootleg plushies using child labour and sometimes containing toxic dyes, flammable stuffing, and other hazardous materials. It may or may not have been him vaguing about xsmart (this is a real and provable concern for the funko boots you see on places like wish and temu), but I don't think it was unreasonable of xsmart to interpret it as directed towards them considering the DMCA. Secondly, I interpreted their rebuttal to that as essentially "we're not going to deign to respond to an allegation like this without proof". But their poor English makes the whole thing read weirdly. Either that or it's them not actually being able to 100% deny it because they don't have enough oversight over their manufacturers to fully say for sure - again, a real and provable issue in the garment/fabric industry.
If you don't know why Youtooz is issuing the DMCA, it is because they brought the license to use those designs, and Youtooz, under US copyright law, have to defend their right or they would practically lose their license Scott on anotherhand, can pull a Tolkien estate, and file a law suit for profit years later for a good profit, because he is the creator well and alive and is continue to creating more of the IP
IMHO: youtoose plushes so far have been hit or miss. They either hit somewhat mediocre and look just ok, or they are ridiculously weird and unappealing looking. I've been dissatisfied with their statuette designs for years at this point and seeing everyone loving their fnaf products is so disappointing because they are not that good looking. I just never said anything because everyone was so overwhelmingly positive about these products so I didn't want to snuff up the excitement. BUT, now it's fine, because releasing ugly figurines and plushes is one thing, but targeting products that are, while unofficial, are way better then their lower quality, unappealing, derivative of basically every cutesy design on earth, that should have flopped back in 2021 leading to the closure of the company. Selling that and then stirring up dramatically with people making actually cool stuff: THAT is something else entirely and shouldnl not be tolerated. I am genuinely thinking that the only reason youtoos are still afloat is because of Scott's poor licensing decisions, and that's why they are acting so desperately now: everyone has finally looked at their products and saw how nothingburger they are and stopped purchasing them. Honestly, let's just hope youtoose is finally closing later this year
Idk why they think that Scott will give them a license because if I was Scott I wouldn’t give someone my license when they have Been making many of my characters already with out my permission and making money off of them
@@nmavillarreal what does that have to do with what I said lol. Nigga a person can like more than one franchise. I have literally been a fnaf fan since I was 6💀. So I know a lot about fnaf

@@TOXICFREAK2021 Are you really THIS slow? I can't believe you don't understand the point he's making. You're whining about them "profiting off of someone else's characters" when you've based your entire channel and identity around someone else's IP. If you make any amount of money off of this, you're making it from someone else's property.
Crazy how we are stuck with bad plushies. We literally can’t get Sanshee’s plushies anymore, we can BARELY get Hex’s plushies, we can only get Funko’s terrible FNaF plushies… now XSmart’s plushies are probably gonna get taken down. Why can’t us FNaF fans get good plushies. Ngl FNaF is home to the worst and most controversial plushies in existence. I wish Bizabizow’s plushies were real.
Tbh it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Youtooz had child labor in their factories. While child labor is awful, it’s so universal it wouldnt surprise me.
If the child labour claims aren't true, Youtooz needs to get dropped by Scott. This whole thing feels like a fat power trip from the CEO. Yeah, they're bootlegs, and illegal, but to say "Raah, they stole our design!" when the plushies are literally not even remotely similar is so weird. If they genuinely had good intentions for calling out XSmart, would they not tell Scott about them, or at least someone else more fit to dish out a lawsuit? And to randomly pull "You use child labour!!!" out of your ass when the lawsuit isn't even about that seems really fishy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all saying that XSmart is 100% innocent and there is no chance they ARE, but it just seems so weird for A. Youtooz of all people to dish out the suit B. Youtooz to say that a Withered Bonnie plush which looks nothing like theirs is a stolen design from them and not just FNaF C. Youtooz randomly making child labour claims appear from thin air D. Youtooz to say that plushies... somehow, don't meet the safety requirements for children. Some of these claims might have more weight than others, but it still seems like the CEO saw someone making FNaF plushies that look better than theirs and his ego got a boo-boo.
I can't honestly get too offended by their shitty ass response when it's a response to a completely baseless accusation, the burden of proof is on the accuser. Now if it turns out that they're actually using child labor, then I'll eat crow.
I NEED more gameplay of that skiing game in the background of these videos. The crazy speed you build up is the perfect satisfaction for my ADHD, way better than stupid soap cutting tiktoks or subway surfers any day
I think the "does Xsmart use child labor" thing wasn't a language barrier, but rather like a Q and A type thing where's they're saying that people have asked the question, and their answer is no
Youtooz products are actually mostly 14+, so many of their products are actually not meant for children (I take this from the products I have viewed and bought from youtooz)

I know many people click on this video for the drama, but I’m invested in the gameplay going on in the footage!
The game is in the description (。･`з･)ﾉ
Didn’t know springtrap had his own company
Fazbear Entertainment was never here nor as heard of this man
I'm with Xsmart bro.
They're actually making high quality plushies of FNAF characters we've all wanted to have as plushies for years now.
YouTooz sees the love they aren't getting and don't like that, the obviously false claim of Withered Bonnie shows me their main priority is obtaining licenses and that's it.
YouTooz is a RUclipsr company, of course they would abuse the DMCA.
@@pocketsizedweebno wonder why they are called *You*tooz
I feel like youtooz is being like that one meme like:
"Random bullshit go!!!"
God, given the hole that Youtooz is digging itself, now I really hope that the lawsuit resolves such that (after making 100% such there’s no child labor cause wtf those allegations) XSmart gets official licensing rights to make fnaf stuff
I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet, but Youtooz technically filed a false copyright claim. Yes, they have a license to create fnaf products. However, they do not own the copyright to fnaf. That falls to Scott himself. And, under US law, the only person who can legally file a copyright claim is the copyright holder thelmselves. So, Youtooz has 0 legal right to file a copyright claim/takedown in this scenario.
Very true, only one they could do is theft of design which was a very horrible accusation to a plush that came out maybe a whole year before theirs did
Regardless of what you think of the designs (I’m honestly mixed as well) the quality of the withered plushies are insanely good. I have the prototypes and if the manufactured plushes are the same then you’ll be getting not 1 single print on any of the plushies, really soft suede feeling fabric, and really firm plushies, like they’re stuffed really good. The qualities there
22:50 Foxy: There can’t be two Freddy plushies, right? FREDDY
Freddy: Yo
Freddy: Yo
Freddy: Yo
Freddy: Yo
Freddy: Yo
Freddy: Yo
I’d think that funko couldn’t sue them now because funko doesn’t have that license anymore
In my opinion I agree with you that YouTooz is I just trying to eliminate the competition. I don't see the resemblance in the X smart global withered Bonnie and youtooz withered Bonnie and I do agree with you again where if X smart global is innocent they are really making it look like they're not but that's my opinion and I'm not trying to choose sides.
Yeah & last time I checked Scott doesn't do well with bad people such as the creators of Flumtpy's & FNAF+, so... This could probably come out bad for YouTooz
Xsmart’s first language isn’t English, thats why his words seem weird at times
First uhyeah video length on uhyeah gaming this is peak
I swear we can’t go a day without controversy in this community.
i literally just woke up what is even happening in the fnaf community
Am I the only one who realized that the youtooz box art is just a ripoff of funkos pop figures
Actually probably, they are I believe Funko's #1 competitor
The child safety thing could be about the materials?
Like how some bootlegs use led paint.
I dont think plushies at all use led paint
@@Tweperhow would a plushie use lead paint
@@Tweper Yeah.
It was an example of a dangerous material used in some products.
I don't know enough about fabrics and plushies in general to know what sort of dangerous materials can be used on them.
@@LawyerMan100 I don't fuckin know why you asking me
yay glowing paint!!
The main reason I’m hesitant on even believing the child labor claims is the sole fact that like………..Xsmart is a bootleg plush company that has a pretty good online presence and seems to hire other RUclipsrs specifically Fnaf plush RUclipsrs to market their plushies, so if they were also committing child labor………..thats just very bold?(I think that’s the word, if not someone give me another word for scummy confidence) like you have to be very confident that ur not gonna get caught at any point especially since your already selling bootlegs that can be copystriked at any time by the original creator.
And yeah I agree youtooz shouldn’t have copystriked them. Especially if Scott already has a lawsuit against xsmart, it’s just very unnecessary for them to try to get involved at that point.
Denying the existence of child labor is so wild 💀
Was that the child labor of 87?!
I don't even collect plushies and yet this drama is crazy.
the exhilaration of severing a finger from a squirming human hand (ie. transcendence).
Idk if anyone else has said it or if it's mentioned later in the video (I'm only about 7.5 minutes in) but safety for children's toys includes the materials they're made out of. Quite a few bootleg toys use lead in their paint, so that is also the type of safety they mean, along with choking hazards, etc.
WILD ASS TIMELINE
TF YOU MEAN BOOTLEG FNAF PLUSHIES USE CHILD LABOR????
The Allegations of Child Labor "have been thoroughly disproved" for now.
They don’t
Youtooz just pulled things outta their ass for the lawsuit
Again
@@taiscommentingaccountusedf1908 Youtoonz is a wild ass company
@@taiscommentingaccountusedf1908 Scott has the curse of picking the worst fucking business partners doesn't he?
@@noodleman4555I mean tbf
Nobody really knew that Youtooz was a bad company until probably now
the bag design is simple so i doubt you can really claim one owns the design. its just the logo centered. feel like that would be common for many products, you can't say you own the design. it makes no sense if thats the thing since it just a logo on the plastic bag. are they mean to cover it or something?
Yeah, that's a big old nothing burger of a complaint. A "design" that simplistic (literally just text and one rounded square shape with punched-put text) is about as lazy of a watermark as you can get. Anyone can come up with that in five minutes. YouTooz still does not have a case.
The children yearn for the plush factories
If Uhyeah was peak the thumbnail would say “ITS THAT CHILD LABOR”
I used to be in a factory that creates custom plushies, pillows, cups, etc. And while some do use CL, other places use people with severe disabilities such as blindness, lack of limbs or extreme case of autism where a person just can't talk at all and has a strange face that's like, dismorphed. It's sad to see it but they get paid, right? Well, not much sadly, those people landed there because the government just said "sorry, we can't help you but you can be a sweatshop worker". It's a mess and I'm not saying that Xsmart is doing it, I'm just saying that this is a common practice around the world.
it's a... bag
there are so many things you can do with a clear bag
I mean in a sense with the point they're making I could just accuse them of stealing Funko box ideas
@@ToxicRabbit3891 it's a fucking box
@@frostthefox702 I can't tell if you're actually being mad here but in a sense it's just like the bag thing
@@ToxicRabbit3891 ITS A FUCKING BOX IN CLEAR DAMN WINDOW
WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO?
@@frostthefox702 same with the bag but I guess I do see your point, just saying if it can be stupid as a bag, a box could be copyrighted for the exact same thing, but you are correct you can't do much with a clear bag
Every time i switch between watching this channel and ur main its like hearing two different ppl but i love it
I'm gonna need to watch this twice, I'm too distracted by the teddy bear skier going mach fuck on my screen
If you want the game it's in the description of the video lol
it hurts me how bad they are panicking because i need those plushies
I mean, when your opponent throws at you something so random and with out any proves, it can just throw you off guard without understanding how to properly answer it. I think that exectly what happend here
this is just like the muzy dark toyland controversy where the language barrier is making things so much worse 😭
well, im going to need my plushies either way soooooooo, those kiddo's better get working.
(this is a joke, dont kill me)
That might be one of the best thumbnails ever
A couple of things: I believe the CEO of youtooz made a comment in a q&a about bootleg plushies using child labour and sometimes containing toxic dyes, flammable stuffing, and other hazardous materials. It may or may not have been him vaguing about xsmart (this is a real and provable concern for the funko boots you see on places like wish and temu), but I don't think it was unreasonable of xsmart to interpret it as directed towards them considering the DMCA. Secondly, I interpreted their rebuttal to that as essentially "we're not going to deign to respond to an allegation like this without proof". But their poor English makes the whole thing read weirdly. Either that or it's them not actually being able to 100% deny it because they don't have enough oversight over their manufacturers to fully say for sure - again, a real and provable issue in the garment/fabric industry.
If you don't know why Youtooz is issuing the DMCA, it is because they brought the license to use those designs, and Youtooz, under US copyright law, have to defend their right or they would practically lose their license
Scott on anotherhand, can pull a Tolkien estate, and file a law suit for profit years later for a good profit, because he is the creator well and alive and is continue to creating more of the IP
I'd spontaneously combust if I ever find out a bootleg company like Xsmart got official licensing and then proceeded to make top tier products.
Get this man some cranberry juice for God sake.
IMHO: youtoose plushes so far have been hit or miss. They either hit somewhat mediocre and look just ok, or they are ridiculously weird and unappealing looking.
I've been dissatisfied with their statuette designs for years at this point and seeing everyone loving their fnaf products is so disappointing because they are not that good looking. I just never said anything because everyone was so overwhelmingly positive about these products so I didn't want to snuff up the excitement.
BUT, now it's fine, because releasing ugly figurines and plushes is one thing, but targeting products that are, while unofficial, are way better then their lower quality, unappealing, derivative of basically every cutesy design on earth, that should have flopped back in 2021 leading to the closure of the company. Selling that and then stirring up dramatically with people making actually cool stuff: THAT is something else entirely and shouldnl not be tolerated. I am genuinely thinking that the only reason youtoos are still afloat is because of Scott's poor licensing decisions, and that's why they are acting so desperately now: everyone has finally looked at their products and saw how nothingburger they are and stopped purchasing them. Honestly, let's just hope youtoose is finally closing later this year
btw the game with the monkey on the skis is called Bunny Hill
Idk why they think that Scott will give them a license because if I was Scott I wouldn’t give someone my license when they have Been making many of my characters already with out my permission and making money off of them
All of your stuff is Godzilla what are you yapping about
They said they're gonna compensate Scott bruh
@@nmavillarreal what does that have to do with what I said lol. Nigga a person can like more than one franchise. I have literally been a fnaf fan since I was 6💀. So I know a lot about fnaf
@@nmavillarrealbuddy what does that have to do with what I said lol. A person can like 2 franchises I have literally been a fan of fnaf since I was 6😭. And u can’t be talking about the stuff on my channel when your channel is straight up just weird 💀
@@TOXICFREAK2021 Are you really THIS slow? I can't believe you don't understand the point he's making.
You're whining about them "profiting off of someone else's characters" when you've based your entire channel and identity around someone else's IP. If you make any amount of money off of this, you're making it from someone else's property.
Now that escalated quickly..
Crazy how we are stuck with bad plushies. We literally can’t get Sanshee’s plushies anymore, we can BARELY get Hex’s plushies, we can only get Funko’s terrible FNaF plushies… now XSmart’s plushies are probably gonna get taken down. Why can’t us FNaF fans get good plushies. Ngl FNaF is home to the worst and most controversial plushies in existence. I wish Bizabizow’s plushies were real.
28 minute video on uhyeah gaming is something i wasn't expecting today.
Never in my life did i think i'd see a thumbnail of fnaf plushies with the words "child labor" on it
Tbh it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Youtooz had child labor in their factories. While child labor is awful, it’s so universal it wouldnt surprise me.
I thought your mouse pointer on the side of the screen was my mouse pointer.
2:12 WTF MAN!!!!
If the child labour claims aren't true, Youtooz needs to get dropped by Scott. This whole thing feels like a fat power trip from the CEO. Yeah, they're bootlegs, and illegal, but to say "Raah, they stole our design!" when the plushies are literally not even remotely similar is so weird. If they genuinely had good intentions for calling out XSmart, would they not tell Scott about them, or at least someone else more fit to dish out a lawsuit?
And to randomly pull "You use child labour!!!" out of your ass when the lawsuit isn't even about that seems really fishy. Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all saying that XSmart is 100% innocent and there is no chance they ARE, but it just seems so weird for
A. Youtooz of all people to dish out the suit
B. Youtooz to say that a Withered Bonnie plush which looks nothing like theirs is a stolen design from them and not just FNaF
C. Youtooz randomly making child labour claims appear from thin air
D. Youtooz to say that plushies... somehow, don't meet the safety requirements for children.
Some of these claims might have more weight than others, but it still seems like the CEO saw someone making FNaF plushies that look better than theirs and his ego got a boo-boo.
I couldn’t have said it better
Nah cause I just bought a withered bonnie plush from xsmart what the hell is this
maybe,,, scott shouldnt hire this man...
Scott already did that infamously with 2 POS with the pedo and transphobe, he REALLY needs to vet his workers 2:17
The one single guy that owns the social media platforms instead of the company full of like 50 people?
I didn't expect at 2pm,while eating instant noodles, I'd see an uhyeah video with 'CHILD LABOR' on the thumbnail 😭
I can't honestly get too offended by their shitty ass response when it's a response to a completely baseless accusation, the burden of proof is on the accuser. Now if it turns out that they're actually using child labor, then I'll eat crow.
Also Youtooz has horrible working conditions so like glass houses
everywhere theres drama theres kane carter
I NEED more gameplay of that skiing game in the background of these videos. The crazy speed you build up is the perfect satisfaction for my ADHD, way better than stupid soap cutting tiktoks or subway surfers any day
THE CHILD LABOR SITUATION IS CRAZYYY 😢😢😮
IS THAT THE CHILD LABOR OF 87?!
The Fazbear sweatshop
The Virgin Youtooz
The Chad XSmart
"We are not wrong and we are also right," I.... Doesn't saying you're not wrong already imply that you're in the right?
They never said "not wrong", they said "we are wrong and we are also right".
@@syweb2oh, you’re right. I guess I misheard that.
22:17 *DA WITHERED FREDDIES!!!!*
I think the "does Xsmart use child labor" thing wasn't a language barrier, but rather like a Q and A type thing where's they're saying that people have asked the question, and their answer is no
One single vile FNAF plushie is ALL I ASK!!!
The fact that there’s more going on with this already is crazy
14:15 XSmart clearly never heard of China before.
you cant escape granny, your in too deep pal.
Could Youtooz get sued for slander/defaming?
Youtooz products are actually mostly 14+, so many of their products are actually not meant for children (I take this from the products I have viewed and bought from youtooz)
Five nights at the sweatshop.
