Hi all! On the branch of strange cases this week's video is quite different to my usual, partly to give us a refresher from traditional true crime - We're back to the usual next week! I’m very curious to know what you thought of this week's oddball case... important to try new waters every once in a while.
Edit: Just wanted to add to those who were interested and wondering - Helen preferred both ‘she’ and ‘they’ pronouns. I chose the former to better differentiate between Helen and Snow throughout the story.
And thank you to Babbel for sponsoring today's video. Link here if you're interested: go.babbel.com/12m65-youtube-coffeehousecrime-nov-2021/default
grab some sangria and sit back.
I enjoy your vids
This is such a great true crime channel. You cover interesting cases, do so with compassion and respect. All cases are also well researched, well edited and narrated. All in all a superb channel, thank you!
In the army prior to going outside the wire you Always chamber a round because you can fire immediately no delay.
I like the New Water here.
"Never aim a gun at anything you don't plan to destroy", one of the cardinal rules of gun safety. Another is always assume that the gun is loaded, ALWAYS.
Brandon Lee learned this the hard way. Guns are still deadly even without bullets if you pull the trigger.
@@AkameGaKillfan777 yea, I’ve pistol whipped a man or two back in my time
Got it.
I don't ever go near Guns anyway.
They look really cool.
I still don't go near them.
people don't understand that guns are not toys, let alone how lethal they are.
@@arturiaarthus8367
Everyone understands that
Never point a gun at something you don’t want dead.
YES! Thank you!!!!!
I’m glad someone said it. I think Helen and Snow are both at fault. Helen for saying “me next” and Snow for pulling the trigger and not checking the safety.
@@AK-yx3uu unfortunately they were both high and drunk which screwed up their judgement
unless you WANT it dead
@@goodstuff8271 sounds like Darwinism
making "hide the body" roleplay tiktoks after you "accidentally" killed someone
every normal person with guilt conscience would never do that
and honestly it takes 0 psychology skills to recognize a sociopath/narcissist, she clearly needs to be jailed
Totally. She did this on purpose.
Agreed, hope she goes to prison
not sure here. looks more like an attempt to come to terms with the reality of having done something so irreversible. i think she cannot communicate it in any different form.
one doesn't need to be a real sociopath to kill someone. sometimes it's enough to be drunk and stupid and have a gun lying around.
Well said. 20:26
The moment I heard she was "non binary" AND a tiktoker, I knew she was coo-coo lol. Gen z is something else.
SNOW'S TRIAL UPDATE: 5 Years community supervision, 100 hrs of community service, a fine, regular probation visits, she can't own a gun, and she can't leave the county without permission. Aka she walked and isn't getting ANY prison time.
That’s very interesting! Where did you find this out?
That is completely unacceptable and an absolute travesty of justice!!! I got 4 years suspended license, 1000 hours community service, 200 hours trash pickup along the interstate, monthly supervised probation for 4 years, 40 hours of driving education classes, $25,000 in fines and court costs and 1 year of having a breath lock mechanism installed in my vehicle after getting my 2nd DWI and you telling me that this vile, disgusting human being with NO REMORSE whatsoever toward the deceased only got 5 years of probation?? She should have been sent to prison for manslaughter for at least 10 years if not life.... Wow! This country is as corrupt as they come I tell you what..... People are in Nevada prisons still incarcerated since the 1970s for possession of weed but this waste of space doesn't even have to go to jail for murder??? I guess it is easy to avoid prison if you shoot someone in the head then make tik tok videos making fun of the situation because of all the money you make from the videos you upload.. Basically what message the country is putting out is you can do whatever you want to anyone you want at anytime. You can R@pe them if you feel like it and even murder them if you choose to do so. Go ahead and do whatever you feel like doing to anyone and nobody in this country will try to stop you as long as you have alot of money you can do whatever it is you please. Be our guest. This is absolutely disgusting and it makes me fucking sick to my stomach.
I get it. There are things called accidents but SHE should have never even touched a gun under the influence of alcohol to begin with....
This is probably a cheap ploy by the government to infuriate the masses and just another box checked to try to take away our guns!! Disgusting
@@joshwyble6558 I am English and our justice system is a joke. We let people off with all sorts of things, but we always think the US has much stronger penalties, and Texas being one of the harsher states, which DOES ACUTALLY execute folks - not just give it, then NOT carry it out, like the other states. I think they are now going soft, as well.
oh my god
@@treasurehunteruk9718 green screen mah dude
Saying that Snow is reckless is an understatement to end all understatements. But making cosplay videos about death and hiding bodies was the worst thing they could've done in this scenario.
Sounds like a severe lack of empathetic and sympathetic judgement like many psychopaths or sociopaths.
Makes me think this kind of horrible act would have happened eventually with her, sadly.
@@17mrbrightside I totally agree!
they go by they/them
@@yumi8787 Like that matters
@@YourMissingEyeBrow it does
"Thinking the gun was unloaded" doesn't make it an accident. Every gun is always loaded until you personally check it. Not knowing how to do this doesn't make it an accident either. These rules are redundant and have no exceptions for a reason. There are no gun accidents, only negligence.
@@KatherineLaura6564 Nope. It's the person who pulls the trigger who is responsible. Every time. This is real fucking simple. Don't point guns at people you don't want dead.
He's not defending snow.
Hope you feel the same way about the Baldwin case.
@@cosmicvagrant3980 I very much do!
The same is going on with Alec Baldwin. I say if you put your hands on a gun you are responsible for its safety.
I actually live in Houston and met "Yandere Freak" at an anime shop years before this had happened. She'd actually gotten in trouble for attempted shop lifting and got really freaked out at the associate when she was caught. When I read about this, I was really shocked about the whole thing. When I met her, she seemed really "odd" (aside from the shoplifting) and that's a lot coming from me.
I mean, they literally called themself “Yandere Freak”. I think calling someone like that odd is an understatement.
Really? I met her once at a con, and she didn't seem too out of the ordinary. She was a bit standoffish, but outside of that, she seemed normal. After hearing about this case and your encounter, I wonder if I just... caught her in a good mood or something.
The fact she identified so much with Junko Enoshima is enough to run chills down my spine.
Awesome fictional character though!
Just goes to show that the jap crap is slowly rotting brains
I know, she is pretty hot.
But here comes the impressiobiltiy of young people, it really makes you think how safe these shows are.
@@blackhawk_Enochserpent That has nothing to do with anything, they they were a teenager when Danganronpa was really popular. Also, this behavior is more than likely to have been caused by an unstable home/school life or biological factors. There are many signs that an individual may develop sociopathic/psychopathic tendencies and/or behavior when they grow up. If people chose to ignore these signs then that’s on them. The ex boyfriend shouldn’t have left the gun, if he were a responsible gun owner he’d know that was a stupid decision. If the ex boyfriend knew about Snow’s drinking/smoking habits then he wouldn’t have left a weapon that was still loaded regardless if the magazine was taken out or not. Snow should not have been double dipping because alcohol and drugs should NOT be mixed. Snow is at fault here, NOT a video game.
tl;dr strawmen@@ShiQingxuanSimp
@@blackhawk_Enochserpent Long story short, Snow is at fault here. Not a video game that came out when they were a teenager.
I want to give a massive shout out to Jimmy Mrozinski for seeing what she did and getting involved. Not only for calling her out and saying no permission was given to do this, but also threatening to press charges if she even comes near the cemetery again. Shows he takes his job seriously and cares for the deceased, way more than she did.
At the height of my involvement in the goth scene, taking videos or photos in a cemetery has always been a tempting activity. I did not have the vanity to do so, and as I got older the foolishness of such an act grew in my mind. In the end I did not miss out on anything from not doing it.
@@meligoth Still even taking pics in a cemetery is very different than dancing on the graves. Permission obviously should be sought, & the cemetery could even come up with some compromise or conditions that theyd find acceptable. This girl didnt even care when she murdered her friend & joked around about loving blood & hiding bodies. They are likely a sociopath with little to no empathy, only caring about themself. I'm sure she probably thought, "Well I wont let this ruin my career" or something along those lines. She was in denial because her career in regards to yandere type stuff was most certainly over after that. Nobody would want anything to do with it & shed just get flamed relentlessly. How can anyone not understand a real gun is never a prop? You never aim a firearm at someone unless you intend to kill.
@@Jackgritty28 Jack what is up with the MASSIVE run on sentence? Half of that sentence literally has nothing to do with the other half so that's when you start a new sentence. You dont just make a never ending sentence recapping the case in a totally random way.
Also you're totally wrong man, it was the VICTIM who had the condition where she got angry with loud noises. NOT the killer. Get your facts straight man if you are going to make such a long recap at least lol. & an accident gone wrong IS manslaughter man, she isnt charged for MURDER right? So your "does she plead guilty or is it a accident gone wrong?" makes no sense because if she pleads guilty, shes pleading to an accident gone wrong! Not pleading guilty means shes saying she wasnt responsible whatsoever for her death..
@@erickirshner2810 Unless someone deleted their comment I dont see anyone using pronouns at all? Lol
@@frankmarano1118 you obviously didn't pay any attention to the video. He kept calling Snow "They"
I love that you make the victim the priority. They are the ones we should remember not the killers.
You missed the part where he lied about it "being a horrible mistake" and said a bullet in the chamber was a "common misunderstanding"...dude is a POS
This is why I'm drawn to this Chanel far more.
I understand what you mean but arent we watching the Videos to know about the killers rather than the victims?
The victim?
She said "shoot me"
After the gun was pointed at others?
How is that a victim?
cant really call helen a victim here. if the story is true then both helen and snow are at fault for helens death due to gun safety.
When I went shooting for the first time my buddy who was ex-military told me a phrase that's stuck with me for years; "Keep your booger hook off the bang switch until you're ready to rain some hate." Truly amazing.
I had two friends I'll call them Bill and Ben in my last job. Bill grew up on a farm and was big into hunting. One day Bill invited us to his family's farm to try shooting wood pigeons. Before we even got to see the gun Bill went through all the safety rules and really stressed that we were to walk behind the person with the gun, the person with the gun was to keep it pointed at the ground till you're ready to shoot, don't point it at anything you don't want to kill, the safety comes off as you lift the gun and your finger stays off the trigger till you're ready to shoot. Bill then showed us how the gun worked, how to check it was safe and then had us watch him shoot a couple of pigeons. He then let Ben have gun, but reiterated all the safety rules first. Ben took 3 steps in that time he took the safety off put his finger on the trigger, tripped and blew a hole in the ground to my left, I was luck the stupid bastard didn't blow my toes off of spray me with buckshot. Bill tore him a new one and made him go sit in the car for the rest of the afternoon.
sounds like he suffered a couple concussions in the military
@@carlholland3819 he actually had so much brain damage he couldn't go for anymore tours so he started working with contractors afterwards to keep going back out lol
@@carlholland3819 = tool
In not so many words, nor the same phrases, I have taught my children this. Even though we don't have guns in the house, nor handle others, other than airport guns.
What makes this worse is that she clearly showed absolutely no remorse. If I accidentally ended up shooting and killing my best friend then I don't think I'd want to live knowing I had caused the death of someone, especially someone close to me. I most certainly wouldn't be posting cosplay videos even if cosplay helped me cope, let alone make the subject about murder or death. What a terrible person.
The four fundamentals of handling a firearm should be taught more often. They're very easy to understand:
1. Treat every gun as if it's loaded
2. Never point the muzzle at anything you don't intend to destroy
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire
4. Be aware of your target and what's behind it
And it's an unwritten rule that you never EVER handle a firearm while inebriated in any way. I smoke weed every day, but I won't touch it if I know I'm going to the range.
i was taught these rules as a child when playing with nerf guns. it boggles my mind that these things arent universally known. it could save a life.
@@lionguy4107 seriously
Oh, it’s very much a written rule, at least in the more recent safety courses put out by the DNR
yes! there are a couple of guns in my house and i do have to handle them sometimes, and even when they're completely unloaded, chamber cleared, i still treat it as if it's loaded, keep my finger off the trigger, and point it strategically to avoid damage or worse, just in case. guns do not care what your intentions are and so you need to remain diligent and aware of what you are doing and what's going on around you when you're handling guns at every second. definitely don't pull them out when you're drunk...
beyond snow i think their boyfriend and possibly their parents also bear some responsibility for this happening. the boyfriend is stupid because leaving your gun somewhere like that is already negligent. leaving it with someone known to be reckless and regularly drunk is negligent. leaving it with someone who does not know even the basics of gun safety is negligent. i wish that gun hadn't been in their house that night...
@@lionguy4107 Same. I wasn't allowed to get an airsoft gun until I was 13. I was taught to treat that airsoft pistol as if it were a loaded 9mm. Always had it on safety, never pointed it at people, even as a joke. My grandfather taught me how to aim with it. I thought this stuff was taught to everyone until I showed my friends the airsoft pistol and most of them didn't seem to give a shit about safety. Obviously it's not gonna kill anyone, but it can still BLIND people. That's a good enough reason to treat it like the real thing.
Helen was a very close friend of mine when we were younger. When this happened, I was stunned. Their story got little to no coverage at all when it happened, so to see you bringing it to light while respecting them and speaking so highly of the person they used to be means a lot.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm really sorry. Your friend seemed like a great person
I think it's safe to say snow is a psychopath, since she didn't even feel any remorse (her behavior shows this) and could be dangerous in the future, that's why she should be locked up.
Sorry to hear about loss of your friend because of the reckless use of a firearm.
@@tubester4567 snow committed an atrocity but it's not related to their gender identity
"Allegedly Accidental." ..The more I hear about this case, the more it sounds an awful lot like Snow shot that girl on purpose.
They definitely did. They never pointed it at the other friend. They were hoping Helen would offer - and they could do it. ☹️ it’s awful
Yeah they had it against their friend’s head and then immediately put it down. But they didn’t do that for Helen. Sounds a lot like it was on purpose to me
@@Eid0lon The problem is that it's a glock pistol, and they are known for having sensitive triggers compared to other similar caliber pistols, and not having safety switches. It's possible that she didn't even realize she pulled the trigger until she heard the bang.
I'm considering that the events reported at the 'party' were compiled from statements taken from all witnesses present, it doesn't sound like it was intentional.
Most people instinctually put their finger inside the ring of a pistol when they hold it. You are taught in any gun licensing course that is unsafe and stupid behavior unless you intend to shoot. The whole thing just reeks of someone with no formal training wielding a gun.
@@AshNikkosWife She*

My deepest condolences goes out to all of the loved ones of Helen. This is terrible and plain reckless. 🤲🏽💜
A fatal “mistake”?
Raising a real gun to someone’s head and pulling the trigger is a mistake? Regardless if you think it’s unloaded or not, you should NEVER raise a gun to someone’s head and pull the trigger. Gun’s aren’t toys. You should always treat every gun like it’s loaded.
The mistake is harm. They never intended to harm Helen. But yes, it was really really stupid of them to put a gun to someone's head and pull the trigger even if they thought it was unloaded. They deserve every year they get in sentencing.
As I’ve always said it doesn’t matter if someone else tells you it’s unloaded until you confirm it yourself you always consider a gun loaded even if it hasn’t been used in a millennium
The problem is theres obviously too many f*****g idiots in this world that act without thinking 🙄
it wasn't a mistake to begin with
My question I'm left with is "Why raise it and lower it to one friend, and then raise it and pull the trigger at another?" Maybe its a reach but its a reach into intent.
Killing a friend then using the experience to boost social media fame; these children have no souls.
Soulless entities
That is the pathetic nature of clout
The fact they use tiktok is all I needed to know to say they're soulless. Its narcissism on steroids
It's not just a generation or social media thing. Remember that.
@@Yukinoomoni sure, but this case is not unique in it's nature
It’s crazy how make up and filters can completely transform a person appearance.
And an army of simps who enable her.
it's a beautiful thing...unless you're a psycho in real life...
@@roguedolltherebelbi-ch3190 how is that a beautiful thing? She comes off as beautiful online just to be an ugo in person
@@klumsyninja9073 I mean the filters themselves can be beautiful depending on your style. putting the filters on makes you look beautiful but if you're a shithead or a psycho...that's terrible.
I know everyone is saying that Snow's username being "Yandere Freak" was a red flag, and yeah it is, but another red flag was something I noticed in this screenshot at 7:08
Yes, I understand that their cosplay of that specific character got the most popularity on both Tiktok and Instagram, but imo, calling yourself the real life Junko Enoshima is just as much of a red flag as having yandere in your username. For anyone who knows her and Danganronpa as a whole understands why
ETA: there's also the fact they sexualized child characters, posed in graveyards and romanticized characters like Junko like how the toxic side of true crime romanticized Ted Bundy and the Columbine Shooters
(nothing wrong with liking characters who did bad things as long as you don't agree with their actions, I like villain/antagonists too, but it's why I had to make the comparison to THAT side of true crime to get my point across somehow)
As somebody who cosplayed as Junko, it is really important to distinguish real life from anime. In fact, we shouldn’t try to be someone else, specially people with psychotic and homicidal traits.
As a female anime NERD, a gigantic red flag is when someone markets themselves as Yandere, thinks yandere characters are romantic or relateable, or exclusively cosplays yandere and antagonistic female characters. She’s almost certainly NOT kidding, and if she is she’s at least insufferable to be around.
people can be super into the yandere trope without being like that
She gives a bad name to all of us who like anime, videogames, and cosplaying.
She's one of those "look how quirky and badass I am" type of girls
I understand exploring the yandere label as an alternative ego online or in cosplay. But saying you're literally a yandere is disturbing.
While snow is not a good person, liking yandere characters has nothing to do with being a bad person. I love the yandere trope and more antagonist and psych characters for a number of reasons. They are also the type of people I cosplay most often. Doesn’t mean I’m gonna kill someone😐
I do find something so fascinating about it when content creators do something like this... The fact you could've been following them and never knowing what's going on behind the screen ..
Screwballs
This is the reality of show business in general. Stop creating parasocial relationships with people who are straight up acting, or showing you a small portion of their reality.
It's like that with everyone.
Still having trouble understanding the mindset of someone who would post those comedic videos of death AFTER killing their 'friend'.
It's worse when they take their own lives.
Heart hurts for Helen, her family, friends and those who had to witness this senseless murder that night. Hoping that girl gets locked up for life, those tiktoks show she has no remorse or care
I love how you provide context and detail for everything in your videos, for example explaining cosplay here.
If someone names themselves "Yandere Freak", that's a red flag.
Also it's fascinating to me that a lot of people who are really good at creating an image of themselves on social media often turn out to be really toxic narcissists. I guess it perfectly makes sense, because that's exactly what narcissists care about.
So true, forget the name I think those cringe tiktok cosplay videos are big enough of a red flag
All true tbh. It's probably easier now than ever for a narcissist to be wealthy and successful with social media.
My flags were raised once I heard she declared she was the real life Junko from Danganronpa
@@justinkosuk3458 Same here.
Happens on Twitter a lot - even with so called "normal" people.
As someone who used to know Snow this story horrifies me. I'm a Houston cosplayer, nowhere near as popular as Snow but we've been mutuals since 2017, I was in multiple of their panels and at one point we left a con to get Boba together and shared an uber. I distanced myself from them after the grave incident and I'm glad I did, the local community has known for a long time they weren't a good person(With their history of drama and incidents) but it baffles me how far this went. It's crazy to think of all the times I was with them...
Yeah - I’m not local to Houston but I was friends with multiple people who were mutuals and met up with her at cons. most of them dropped ties with her after the graveyard pictures happened, obvs, but got it’s weird to hear her name again in this context
What is Boba? 😻
@@Lioness417 boba deez nuts
@@Lioness417 its a drink. Boba is the milk tea drink with pearls
I used to know snow as well. They are one of the reasons i left the houston cosplay community. Snow and Robin would bully me relentlessly because i spoke up about a pedo they were friends with who is also popular in the houston community
Since finding your channel Ive started every day with one of your videos. I find you have a talent for tastefully covering tragic events. you provide clear concise details and respect to the victims and there families..thank you
It always blows my mind seeing this, they were supposed to be part of our Danganronpa Cosplay group at Katsucon several years back, I remember there being a bit of drama in our group chat and our cosplay organizer decided kicked them from our group
I actually went to highschool with Snow and lived just a few streets down from them. Went to their house, met their parents and sibling. I can't say much about their stepdad, but snow's mom was incredibly enabling of them, always bailing them out of bad situations even when it was undeniably Snow's fault. I was into anime during highschool so Snow and I connected and became friends. Over the course of a month they started bullying me and several others in our group of friends through manipulation and gaslighting. It escalated to the point where they told me to kill myself, something they claim that they would "never do", then tried to backpedal by calling the police to my house even though I wasn't home. This happened back in 2016. Although most of my highschool friendships have drifted apart, we are still united by how much we hate, and fear, Snow.
Not surprised. Half of the cosplay community is so toxic. I did it from 14 years and then when covid hit, it was finally a way out. I dont plan to go back
You should talk to the Police about it, I saw a few streams and I remember the drama stuff and she never seemed like a good person to me. I kinda doubt it was an accident but who knows...
In her videos, she comes off as someone who wants attention and to be well liked when in actuality she herself was the bully. That alone show's that she's not a good person.
There's definitely some friendly, very balanced cosplayers. There's also definitely those who go to any avenue to garner attention or use anyone who can help them gain status in the community.
I’m glad you got out from under her ❤️
She seems to be aware of the situation she’s in and is making TikTok’s around it. It’s not only psychopathic, but it’s made her beyond crazy.

Recently stumbled upon your channel and have been binge watching I liked this episode they way you present every story it is obvious you spend a lot of time making sure your research is accurately conveyed to us your audience and the respectful way you also tell these stories is a nice change of pace from some of the other channels. So thank you for all your hard work
I can appreciate the face that Adrian didn’t blame the gun but the reckless girl handling it. Thank you for that.
same, as someone who's interested in firearms.
It's not cute or quirky to call yourself the 'real like Junko', That's like saying you're the real life joker.
Yeah, as soon as I saw the thumbnail I knew it would be that... She's a great villain but anyone who wants to be like her needs help
I cringed so hard after hearing that
It seems like the people who call themselves these characters are always the ones who suddenly start living their fucked up fantasies…..
I always found that was extremely disturbing to me, especially considering all the insensitive things they had done in real life.
It makes me feel she gets some sick enjoyment out of having killed one of her friends. Emulating the villian of a game about students who are forced to kill their friends.
Disgusting behaviour. The way 'Snow' behaved after killing her friend shows absolutely 0 remorse. She deserves a hefty sentence.
Yep, she deserves a huge dose of Karma served to her in prison.
She's showed no remorse at all !
@@bexproctor360 People grieve differently. After my mom died, like the same day, I was making jokes about it. At the funeral. You see no remorse, I see coping. Two stupid kids playing with guns drunk and high, one says "Do me" the other "does her". She's fucked for life either way. Living in Houston, we have enough problems with actual violent criminals who we need the space for. Tragic case here, but she's a far cry from a violent criminal. An attention seeking idiot? Yes, most definitely.
At first, with her making videos centered around blood and morbid topics, I was sort of thinking Snow was just processing trauma really poorly. As this video went on, though, it became clear she was experiencing no remorse and is thus an actual sociopath.
Poor Helen. Coffeehouse did a good job of giving us a peek into Helen's lost potential. Props to him for being a stand-up content maker.
@@lunayoshi Could be sociopathic tendencies. Don't get me wrong, what happened to Helen was unfair, but how someone deals with something after the fact is less important to me than their intentions, actions, and premeditated effects of the crime.
She is definitely a self-centered and selfish individual. Could probably be a mix of psychopathy too.
Regardless of what sewer she swims in, the entire crime seemed to be one giant accident, corroborated by everyone there and actively participated in. There are serious murderers, rapists, and other violent criminals who we need to foot the big bills on long term incarceration. Not some idiot sociopath whose likely no actual threat to society. There is nothing to rehabilitate with our prison system, bent on churning out more animals.
I actually was a big part of the cosplay community around the time all of snows controversy happen. I had connections to them and even had personal experiences with them. They deserve to be behind bars for longer than life. Helen was a shining member in the community who is still missed to this day. She was kindhearted and was a genuine sweetheart to me when we did interact with each other. If we cant fight for gun control fight for gun safety education classes in school. Fly high angel, we all still miss you
You thought u will get thousands of likes by mentioning that u were a big part. You people only care about likes and views and attention.. U saw u got only 5 likes and a big dislike from me. ARRGGGGHHH😠😠😠
You all sound ridiculous when you try to conform to nonsensical pronoun usage.
@@73Goodfellow kinda hard to speak a language without using any pronouns
@@MKateUltra That’s true. Even harder when the pronouns you use are confusing and unnecessary.
"They" "Them" for a single person is absolutely ridiculous. What a stupid trend, and it can't pass soon enough.
Yes, I found that interesting. I had not heard of this case before. What a sad end to such a young life. I like how you picked out the videos to show too as it showed them in motion and gave more of a insight to their world. Well done.
I’m a cosplayer and remember when the graveyard photoshoot was all going down years ago, the kitten thing, a $300 wig controversy, and then a few months ago when the manslaughter charges came out. Snow just never really had a good rep. You did a great job with this story, and I really am glad you talked about Helen- I didn’t know much about them before this video.
Snows had me blocked since the graveyard incident I think, its so weird to look back on the stuff that happened with snow, Medusa and I can’t remember the guys name but he was a dirk cosplayer and then look at all the coverage that’s going on now, honestly it makes me feel kinda old 😅

Snow, is a heartless narcissist with no concious or capacity to understand the damage she caused. This story is so sad! But also highlights the damage social media platforms can cause, because it allows people to live in a world that isn't real. Rip to Helen and condolences to her mother who will never get over her absence.
Thats most famous fake tik tokers
I don't for a SECOND believe they didn't mean for her to die. Edit: accidental misgendering

It's odd using "they" "them" while talking about a singular person and two people at the same time. Because they did so many things together I kept getting confused as to whether you were talking about one of them doing something or both of them doing something since you were using they them for both instances.

Most are, yes. but himiko toga is a case of bad parenting. thing is a lot of parents had opportunities of stopping psychological issues that eventually spire out of control. Mainly because most parents like to pretend their children are fine and try to ignore or suppress these concerns instead of getting them help. It's a common trait most psychopaths have.
@@lapisgaming6093 yes her parents are doing a dog crap job at raising a her to the point she become insane I know
@@lapisgaming6093 most psychopaths cannot be fixed with medication and therapy. Clearly she was evil in a sense after choosing extremely violent and Crazy characters over and over again. Showing her true character by doing so. But meds and therapy don’t fix everything. Most of the time they are just bandaids. You can’t stop a psychopath from being just that.
Random Japanese here. Sheesh, she named herself "Yandere Freak?" That's a huge, and I mean a HUGE red flag.
Whether it's Kawaii Yandere or Yandere-chan or Yandere Senpai, the moment you start calling yourself "Yandere" that is just a major no-no. Yandere's "yan" comes from the word "yanderu" or "yamu" which means "sick."
Well, looking at the videos she posted after she shot her friend, she sure is sick alright!!
After I read the case about Phoenix Luna and got exposed to that term, I've never been the same.
Yup thats like calling yourself Psycho Killer or Stalker Predator
You're not Japanese lol
@@jackcutter2 sorry to disappoint you buddy, but I am :D
@@zzzeus78 as a American and has a lot of love for Japanese culture and yes gaming and anime I understand that your culture got unfairly some of the blame because of the yandere theme used by these individuals who were using this as an outlet then turned it into such horrible crimes but I agree red flags when anyone calls themselves yandere or psycho something still much love to the culture just horrible crimes committed by horrible people
The fact that Snow just went bac to posting as if she didn't kill her friend says it all. I wouldn't be able to function without my best friend, but she just snapped back into TikTok like it never even happened. Either she's extremely desensitized or she's terrible at handling trauma. Either way, she needs to seek professional help
She's a probably a psychopath.
nah mate, she is seeking jail time
Tbh I have experienced a lot of death and losses in my life and obviously will experience more. I know first hand that everyone has different coping mechanisms when it comes to dealing with tragedy and death. Yes it is an odd way to deal with it but it may just be her way of coping. Don't get me wrong I am not on her side, just saying facts. Also I know this doesn't excuse anything being very young like that and if genuinely thought the gun was empty then, she would obviously think it was safe to pull the trigger. Not at all difficult to understand, let's be honest. But gun should never have been so easily accessible. But from my experience, I lost my best friend of 12 years, it had been 6 years now and for the first 3 years I was horrible to everyone I come across online or in real world. Taken me a while to realise why I was doing it, it was just automatic for me as I was just not happy my friend is gone. People cope with things in different ways..so maybe for her to act like nothing happened and treat it like fiction and make videos about death was probably a coping mechanism.

One would assume that after accidentally ending a life, things psychologically be heavily altered. Or one would be disturbed. Specially if it was the life of a supposed close friend.

Too real. Too unfair and gross.
This Snow person has serious issues.
welcome to the new generation, but hey, becareful you might hurt feelings speaking the truth.
That's what really got me about this situation as well. If she really does this completely by accident, you'd think she'd need extensive counseling and be hesitant to go back to her normal routine!
If this is what it's like being young these days, I'm glad I'm well past that! Are they really so desensitized to death? Frightening!

I feel zero sympathy for anyone in this scenario. Girl 1 is an idiot for saying "point a gun at me" and Girl 2 is a moron for actually doing it...
I like the fact that you have explained the safety fact of guns still having one in the chamber. It's messed up man. Clout and views really does make people act stupid and do anything for the feelings of exceptence
I'm glad that he went the extra mile and showed an example image of a bullet remaining in the chamber of a gun, having a visual aid like that really makes a difference when explaining proper safety practices.
And for not making guns the villain! It’s the reckless people who cause the tragedies. RIP Helen.
Idk anything about guns and have no interest messing with them EVER so I didn't know this fact, it was extremely educational and eye-opening. That kind of information genuinely can save lives. He did a great job with explaining and depicting that point.
@@TonyGearSolid As I agree, he forgot to mention the most BASIC THING. You NEVER EVER Point a firearm, loaded or unloaded, at something you DONT INTEND ON KILLING. Literally firearm saftey rule #1 is never point the barrel of a firearm at ANYONE. That’s how people die, like this case here. Even if you think it’s empty!
It’s simple really, guns are not toys 🤷♂️
Since Snow was pointing the gun at others before she pulled the trigger on Helen tells me she had a special grudge against her. What made her go the extra step of pulling the trigger? Just the idea that putting the gun up to her friends heads is funny to her shows they are just puppets for her internet fame. Sad thing is Helen threw away her parents and looked up to this person who gave absolutely no fuck about her.
Well said
I thought the same, or maybe she decided to shoot her for fun or for the "thrill" of it without any grudges. Her videos after the killing were disgusting. If it wasn't intentional, her videos are emblematic of someone who has no remorse and finds it "cool" or humorous. I'm not a therapist or diagnosing, but it seems pretty sociopathic/psychotic
Sad but well said
Well

So heartbreaking, my thoughts and prayers go to Helen’s family. Thank you for sharing this story. It’s shocking that there are still adults in this world who think guns can be used as a toy. Loaded or not.
I could be wrong, but I haven’t seen a comment yet about you taking the time to explain how often people will think a gun is empty just because there is no clip, but always forget one in the chamber. Info could legit save someone’s life lol. Awesome video!
Because it's bullshit. You treat every gun like it's loaded 💯. No jokes no play play time. It's a death device.
Should have taken the time to tell people to just not own a bloody gun. It's insanity that people have them in their homes at all.

you cant judge that. she copes in her own way. not everoyne whining and sitting around afterwards. death btw is part of life just as birth. she is not mocking anyone because you can't even know what mocking a death person is-because you only judge from a selfish view of an alive-person. nobody knows how to really treat the dead respectful becasue the most just judge due to their own moral and ethnical point of view, not thinking of the dead ones. she didn'T name her, she just made videos about dead bodies, playing her role. nothing wrong with this, it's her hobby.

@@glasperle77 I believe we can in her case...I mean dude you just kill your friend, even if it was a mistake you did end someone's life. Normal people would definitely be in guilt . Uploading tiktok vid wasn't the issue but her despite killing someone made a video about death.

Snow´s moral compass is clearly quite skewered, she felt seemingly no remourse.
With a name like "Yandere Freak", I was expecting a story like the one from Japan that you covered. At least with this story, the message is simple: Don't use weaponry while intoxicated and never assume that a gun isn't loaded. Even if you know that it isn't and have checked 1000 times, you should still treat it like it can bring harm or death to another.
Perhaps the big lesson is that firearms are not props.
@@weebpotato64 Also never point it at anything you're not willing to destroy.

there's actually a lot of rumors going around of her being involved in the deaths of others just a couple years prior, I was helping out with uncovering her past (she got way more accounts and names that she goes by). a really scary case when u keep in mind that she is connected to other crimes and still continued making those type of tiktoks/using the name real yandere. you did a great job on reporting on this ongoing case and I love how thoughtful you explained cosplay/anime culture!
Oh boy
I was just thinking maybe she was involved in the death of another cosplayer that lived in Texas with her husband? Her name was Liz Barraza.
Do you have a source and what other names and accounts she went by? A cursory Google search showed up nothing

Remember seeing some of this case on tiktok, the video of snow lip syncing “goodness you’re bleeding what a wonderful feeling” makes me sick. How delusional do you have to be to kill someone (accident or not) and then post a video romanticising literal MURDER? just gross, rest in peace Helen💕
Thank you for telling the story of the victim, Helen. Such a tragic and senseless loss of life.
A gun is a deadly weapon and should be considered so at ALL TIMES.
RIP beautiful Helen ❤️
Treat every weapon as if it were loaded
Never point a weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
Keep your finger straight and off the trigger until you are ready to fire
Keep your weapon on safe until you intend to fire
I cannot believe they haven’t been thrown immediately in jail for violating their bond multiple times. That’s beyond me. Minorities and most men in general wouldn’t have been treated so kindly.
Apparently her father is a local politician so of course the family gets preferred treatment. Normally 1 of those violations she did would be enough to be violated while on pre trial and get thrown in jail until your hearing resolution.
Really? Timothy Simpkins, a Black kid in Texas, shot three people at his school and got out on bail a day later.
Kinda blows the minority thing out of the water.
@@matthewgordonpettipas6773 nobody died genius, if even one of those kids died he would still be in the slammer today. If you really believe the justice system is fair across the board you either bumped your head or you’re willfully ignorant

The people who got shoot are going to likely be traumitized for life, not to mention potential life altering injuries. There are things worse than death, as many victims can tell you sincerely.

Always a great story. Fantastic. Love your channel.
As a gun owner, You NEVER point a gun at ANYTHING unless you are willing to destroy it. This means keeping the safety on, finger inoff the trigger, and not pointing it around. I consider my guns no different than my power tools in my workshop. You follow the tools because they didn't RESPECT the tools ability to cause harm under certain situations. That's where I see the problem with this case. these women show ZERO RESPECT FOR ANYTHING (like dancing on graves). These are the kinds of idiots that should be near a gun, knife, or a Tide Pod. Basically anything. It's not lack of education or access to proper gun training that would have prevented this. It's lack of respect for anything and not thinking at all. This is the same attitude you see on TikTok where some idiot goes car surfing or parkouring off a large building that is out of their league...all for views and ego. All this tells me as an old man is these are very low self esteem people that are addicted to validation from others to feel good about themselves.
Isn't that also the same reason some have livestreamed criminal acts?
I mean like come on that’s common sense even if you know NOTHING about guns…. Especially if u know nothing. I’m so over hearing about people dying over a bullet being left in the chamber!!
Call it how you see it!!
She thought she was one of those cool quirky bad girls, but learned the hard way that real life is a bitch and don't give a damn
Bit of an unpopular opinion, but I believe that some sort of gun safety lessons should be mandatory. Even if you have no intention of owning or using one (completely your choice, guns are never something you force into the hands of someone), knowing how to safely handle one could help prevent accidents like these
I was always told that an unloaded gun is more dangerous than a loaded gun, that's probably a little difficult for some people to get but it's absolutely true,as in this story
If it’s perceived as unloaded then yes
One of the first rules of gun safety is it's always loaded. Even if you just took it apart and know it's empty. It's loaded.
No its perfectly sane, because an unloaded gun breeds an air of complicity, you assume the guns unloaded so you treat it like a toy, and THATS what makes it more dangerous, not the gun itself, its the lack of concern by the user when they BELIEVE its unloaded. This is why gun safety teaches to treat an unloaded firearm as tho it were loaded because you NEVER know unless you check wether thats true or not and becoming complacent with firearms to the point you can direct them towards people 'jokingly' is even more dangerous because it betrays a lack of respect for the destructive capability of the weapon in question and anyone caught doing that should have their firearms license revoked immediately because they clearly have no respect for the power they wield.
@@natalielee35 absolutely, as someone who handles and builds them, yes. If I took apart a gun, especially in an environment where I am not alone - someone could have just as easily put a loaded mag or a round in for god knows what and now I'm coming back to a loaded gun. its only ever happened once and my paranoid must-check-if-its-loaded tendency found said round. Honestly, I have a very do not touch my guns attitude as it is, but especially not at my house. Best way to avoid mistakes? Check if its loaded, every time, but even better? Don't let people touch your guns to begin with unless you're at the range. They say people who build guns are a lot less fun to be around, and its true, because we're far more experienced with the third party element. most accidents could be avoided altogether if people would just learn how to properly handle a firearm. So many people out there have no idea.
No it's not as dangerous as unloaded gun
Loved this video… little known cases are always good
These are really interesting cases , please do keep them coming. There appears to be many opportunities for case law to be made whereas SM is concerned, be interesting to see how these cases are considered?
I knew both Snow and Helen when I was into cosplay a few years back. Both were always very kind to me and seemed very genuine. Unfortunately, Snow would always display such awful and toxic behavior towards fellow cosplayers, especially smaller ones like me, so I stopped being mutuals with them, but remained friends with Helen.
I eventually stopped cosplaying, and lost contact with both Helen and Snow. When the charges surfaced earlier this year, I couldn't believe it. Never did I believe that Snow, despite their awful behavior, was capable of such heinousness. It's insane, and though I wasn't close with Helen towards the end, it's still absolutely devastating that this occured. Thank you for giving this story coverage; it's an important lesson in safety and the dangers of carelessness.
Thank you for sharing this. May her memory be a blessing. Their behavior after the fact is so shocking
Another commenter said something similar about snow, that she was bullied by her in high school. It seems, to me anyway, that she displayed a negative trait for quite some time and at it's peak, she took Helen's life 😥
Do you know if she was involved in the death of another cosplayer from Texas? Her name was Liz Barraza!
@@LanaDelReySimmer I don't know for sure, but I do know that, sadly, they did take Helen's life
Id never heard or seen one good thing about Snow. They always seemed obnoxious and stuck up through videos and ofc this sort of thing is horrible but unsurprising. May they get the maximum sentence, its what they deserve.
I see how it can be viewed as an accident, but Snow's history and type of content makes me wonder if they had an itch to pull that trigger. Obviously it's not 100% certain either way, but in more than one case I've seen/read about, there's people who are overcome with a desire to see what killing someone feels like.
Whether the sentence is maximum or not, I really hope it includes probation of the internet in some way. People like Snow who feed off negative attention and lack respect/sympathy are exactly the type of people who do not deserve platforms.
She still is guilty. *Always keep a gun pointed in a safe direction, even if it's unloaded or the safety is on.*
Never trust a person who thinks yanderes are cool. But yea either way, her thought process doesn't change that she ended someone's life.
Unfortunately the gun owners responsibility is not considered. If the gun owner was responsible then the gun would have had either a trigger lock, a chamber lock , a gun safe or all three. Any one of these simple inexpensive things could keep countless accidental shootings. We may have the right to bare arms but rights come with responsibility.
I agree on some points, but the change in content could very easily be due to traumatization, which may cause a person suffering from it to create content relating to it. There are generally two reasons for this behavior, generally speaking, if that is indeed the case:
Firstly, it's their mind's way of trying to cope. This may be done by taking the subject lightly, such as making fun of it, recreating similar situations to re-live through the traumatizing situation but ending with no one being hurt, to try to trick oneself into believing that it had happened the way it was recreated, to escape the feelings of guilt (among many others, such as self-hatred). The second situation that commonly may occur would simply be the person being so desperate to cry out for help, that they do similar things that are the cause of their distress, partially subconciously (without the person really realizing why they're doing it themselves, at least not entirely). So in both purely hypothetical situations, it could well be a normal psychological response due to grief and guilt, and so on.
Note - I am not a medical professional in any way, shape, or form. I'm merely offering a personal insight based off of speculation. Also - I am not saying that she's not in the wrong by any stretch, nor am I saying that she's 100% at fault, either. My only reason to post this reply is to hopefully spread awareness of how our minds work (in some cases) to cope with what I'd imagine to be unrelenting guilt and basically the whole world being against her. Imagine putting yourself in that person's shoes for a moment. It's absolutely terrifying, just the thought that many people on the internet would try to harrass you and possibly even target you for more nefarious plots... They know your face, your basic info, and could probably piece together where the person lives from past videos, social media, and so forth. Yeah, I'll pass on that, but I'll also try not to do something so foolish. (Yes, she was on drugs, we ALL have that one dumbass moment that we can recall - be honest! ;] )
P.S. - The media attention that this would get will always try to paint someone as the victim, and another group/person as pure evil. Let's keep this in mind, as boring accidental stories don't sell as many copies as a novelty cold blooded killer case. :(
@@twistedyogert or mix drugs, alcohol, and having a gun. It should never be waived around as if it’s a harmless toy.
One of the first things taught to us in the military was "never, ever point a gun/rifle etc. at another person, even if you think it is unloaded" - just don't do it, and stupid, avoidable accidents like this one just cannot happen. The military knows what it is doing, but some cretins obviously do not.
I never heard anything about this despite living 2 miles from the crime scene. Thanks for the video
Never point the gun on anything, that you don't want to shoot. Treat a gun always as if it's loaded. Your finger goes only on the trigger the moment you want to shoot.
No way this can be called an accident.
There's obviously something very wrong with this girl, would not be surprised if that was some sick fantasy of hers that just became a reality.
Sure it can be called an accident. Just because some people follow gun safety rules and aren't complete idiots doesn't mean people aren't accidentally shot all the time.

Weird. Your channel is my new addiction. Great job. Ah yes and before I start to watch it I always grab a hot steaming coffee.:)
Young reckless and narcissistic is a dangerous combination. Snow seemed to have no concept of accountability. I also agree, whether for or against firearms for self defense, everyone should agree they are not tools to be handled lightly.
IF this happened in the UK, The gun owner would be responsible criminally. We have to, by law, keep our firearms under lock and key at all times, even to the point where the gun and ammo have to be stored seperately in their own gun safes, in rooms not immediately accessible by visitors to the house. If that were my gun she got hold of and I'd left it out, I'd be facing up to 15 years. Something no one seems to be commenting on. Shouldnt the ex be culpable to some degree?
@@GrumpyMunkyGameDesign I m not personally a gun owner so I am not an expert on the laws here. I think to a degree it may vary by state. I have never read where a gun owner was held accountable for anything done with their weapon by another.
@@GrumpyMunkyGameDesign its unclear how she got the gun from the owner. If it was given then yes he may be responsible. If she stole it then no hes not. As for keeping them locked up thats not a requirement in most states. We believe in personal responsibility and freedom. Now in the gun community we do have set safety standards most of us abide by such as locking up our firearms when not in use aside from our home defense firearms.
Seems this killer had no discipline or a father figure to straighten them out. RIP to the innocent live taken by a foolish, incompetent person.

This case honestly doesn't surprise me, as someone who was there for the graveyard bs- they've always been so self centered and psychotic that it's just so upsetting they're so full of themself that they didn't even have a grasp of how severe this was

@@PcGamerify I wasn't there physically, but I knew who Snow was from Instagram and followed the whole situation from there along with a friend- they never really cared and blocked people/deleted comments who called them out on it, really immature from them instead of learning from their mistake and apologizing
@Barbie Blues i was wondering where the closed-minds were! It’s the 21st century, deal with it…
Since the girl is one person, the correct grammar is "She" not "They" meaning multiple people. Believing you are more than one person, or both male and female is stupid and doesn't count. Are we really going backwards with education today, Karens? Seriously?
Who is they? Im just seeing one person and it's a female 😐
I like the way that you narrate. New subscriber and like 🙂
@coffeehousecrime thank you for pointing out the good aspects of/in the USA when we're usually bashed. :)
Honestly, this is such a sad case, I'd already known some about it. That Snow killed their friend by shooting her in the head (I'd heard very little on the subject). But what I didn't know was that Helen didn't die immediently after being shot. Can't begin to imagine how terrified she was. I hope she rests peacefully,
She was braindead immediately… she didn’t die immediately cuz some of her organs are still functioning like her heart. She didn’t suffer.
So. Many. Stupid. Decisions led to Helen being kïlled. No matter how you feel about guns and the like at least teach your kids basic gun safety, you never know when they could end up in a reckless situation like this one. Also,
Snow seems like a legitimately abhorrent human.
Agreed. You'd think gun safety would be common sense, but I guess not. I'm always amazed when I hear stories where a gun that was thought to be "unloaded" ends up causing a death. NEVER assume a gun is unloaded and NEVER point a gun at a person you do not intend to shoot, EVER. DO NOT casually play with guns.
It's absolutely insane that people don't understand this...
@@HEARTS-OF-SPACE to be honest unless you're into guns or use them as part of your job a lot of people don't understand the actual mechanism of how guns work other than "bullet comes out of one end" so I think many people wouldn't know about the chambered round, then again those sort of people shouldn't have access to one.
@@Nemacyst117 then you shouldn't be using a gun.
@@damienthonk1506 I completely agree.
Even if you don't know specifics, you would think survival mechanisms would stop more people. You don't have to know how it works to know that, "This can kill me" or "I could hurt or kill someone" I think it often comes down to people not ever thinking of the consequences. Especially with younger people who assume things wont happen to them. We might be older now but we were young once and all the bad things that could happen were a million miles away back then.

I live in India and ive been to Houston before, my paternal aunt and her family used to live there. NGL I was mesmerized to see what the city had to offer. It is gut-wrenching to see that such a tragic incident occurred in such a lively city.
There is a case I’d love for you to cover and shed a light on it that happened very recently and hit very VERY close to home. A girl I didn’t personally know but she went to my high school and I’ve seen her in person. Miya marcano, a 19 year old girl who’s life was taken miles away from her family on her way through success. Studying in Orlando, she was living alone and was constantly harassed by an older guy who she wasn’t interested in, the man who works at the apartment building she lives in, got the master key to get into her room, and do god knows what… this case hurt Miami, Broward, my high school and schools all around Florida. My school honored her by planting a tree in her name, releasing a bunch of butterflies which is what she was known to dress as for the Carnivals and money that was raised was put into a foundation in her name.

I'm not familiar with the case, but it may be too soon. If it happened pretty recently, not all the facts may be out yet and it could be difficult to sift through all the conflicting information, or to even gather enough information for a video. Plus, it could be disrespectful to her family and friends to make what is essentially an entertainment video about such a recent tragedy. I know I'd be mad if my close friend died and people were profiting off the death only a year or two later.
I just looked, and this only happened a couple months ago. Let the poor girl rest, and let her loved ones grieve. Jeez, I know it's near you and you want some connection to it, but that's definitely too soon, and there wouldn't be nearly enough info to discuss. Talk about poor taste.
Someone has already made a video about her, can’t remember the channel name, but it’s on RUclips.
@@sluttymctits4496 I’m glad you left this comment. Because what I wanted was her story to her told to the world. Same way her family is so vocal and powerful in spreading love and her story, same way I want someone with a large platform who does this amazing work. He does it in order to share the importance of these peoples story and Miya’s name has so much importance.
As a cosplayer, I'm happy to see them FINALLY get exposed by mainstream media! They literally killed someone amongst other terrible things for years and they seemingly got away with it for so long without anyone in the community batting an eye. Thank you for being the first to really hold them accountable and exposing them so hopefully they can stop being glorified by their psycho fans
Pussy pass stronk.
Absolutely 🙏
She. She is a girl.
Who is they? Is a she.
One person did the killing here, not two.
I've tried to look for a verdict from her trial but can't find anything.
The most basic rule when handling a firearm is ALWAYS treat your firearm as if it were loaded, even when it’s not! AND NEVER POINT A GUN AT ANOTHER PERSON. But I guess those rules don’t apply when you are high and drunk!
I hope Helen's soul is resting easy. My heart goes out to her mother, family, and friends. Helen didn't deserve to die, let alone be hurt at all, yet Snow not taking proper safety precautions (such as not pointing a gun at someone) led to her suffering the consequences of Snow's actions.
I hope Snow gets seriously punished for this one day soon.

Look up the term they in the dictionary. Y'all are using it wrong
@@jmcdrawer5031 there are many instances in the English language in which They is used as a singular pronoun. Furthermore, language is ever evolving and words take on new meanings and usage. Even if They was not already used in the singular form, there is no reason to poluce it's use in such a way. Many online resources have already adjusted the teaching of English Singular pronouns to include They along with a disclaimer that it is gender neutral or gender inclusive.
@@strawberries1186 so in other words, we want to change meanings to words because we feel like it to further confuse the language
@@strawberries1186 when can we do that with the nword
The cosplay community is incredibly toxic. The mix with social media and trying to be “cos-famous” just allows for horrible narcissistic personality to thrive. Which just leads to horrible things from assault, cyber bullying, harassment, and other horrible things
that's sad thou. cosplaying was meant to be enjoyed as an art form and not a means to break others down just for some views and likes.
@@bakaomi9366 it is very sad. I got out of the community because I was being harassed to the point I felt so unsafe that it triggered panic attacks.
It is very sad since I loved to teach sewing and wigs in the local library systems and conventions to help foster the next generation
@@dahliamuerte2428 I feel ya it sucks to give up something you loved just because it is not save. sorry that it ended that way for ya
It seems it draws in a lot of mentally ill which doesn't help
The cosplay community is also a tad bit racist
Definite sociopath vibes coming from "Snow The Salt Queen's"' behaviour.
Snow's videos after the tragic death of her "friend" are disgusting and clearly show lack of remorse or empathy. It makes one speculate whether she really considered the gun to be unloaded.
Always, always assume a weapon is loaded and never leave a weapon around. Their reaction makes me even angrier. You’d think they’d be at least smart enough to not post at least to show some remorse
Case in point: Alec Baldwin
@@FunFilmFare He should have checked the weapon, I agree. I don't know if Baldwin has ever handled a gun off screen, yet, even then, he has handled them on set.
From what I've been reading and seeing, the safety protocols were not followed down the chain as they should have been. Also, the props person had a reputation for problems. Alec Baldwin is responsible, but so is everyone who handled that firearm before it was handed to an actor. I don't care if ten people say, "oh, it's not loaded", I still check for myself. Give me weird looks, I don't care. Safety first.✌😸
@@PhoenixLyon At the end of the day, the person most responsible is the one who pulls the trigger.
Plus, at this point, as more information comes out, I'm not so certain we can say that it was an accident.
But even if it was just an accident, it was still Baldwin's responsibility. Yeah, the armorer did a terrible job as an armorer. She was very reckless when it comes to safety and probably should have never been hired as an armorer. But at the end of the day, it was Baldwin who willingly pulled the trigger.
Her. She. Speak proper English.
Who's reaction? One or many people?
What really makes me uncomfortable about this case is what Snow was posting after the murder. Trying to carry on without showing they'd killed someone on what would have been just another night of drinks and watching a show. Disgusting.
First I thought: I don't want to judge how someone is grieving and if that means producing content, even death themed, that could be fine. But the way they setup the videos could not have been any worse, like they were mocking them. Awful.
She's a complete narcissist but what else can you expect from someone who's young, pretty, and popular.
@@monolyn ooofff to that worldview. she was crazy in the coconut, but that doesnt make people who pass as pretty or popular (which is both subjective af) to natural born sociopaths...
@@DoYouEvenGambitBro
The videos are set up like that because Snow is cosplaying as a yandere. The characters they portray are girls who aren't mentally stable, who kill and harm others for and because of love. They'll kill the one they love in order to keep them to themselves, but they'll also kill anybody who goes against them or the person they love.
Some of them also cut/kill the one they love because they find them more attractive like that, because it's their way of loving, and such. "Yanderes" are a very twisted type...
So the fact Snow was all that cheerful talking about death and murders is "normal" regarding the characters they were playing as, and all their videos were probably of the same kind.
It still doesn't make it right, but I also felt it could have been Snow's way to grieve or to maybe reject reality. Although they might just be completely disconnected from reality, so drown into their yandere cosplay universe they don't even understand what's real or not, what's right and wrong anymore.
@@DoYouEvenGambitBro I said narcissist not sociopath? Are you confused or just trying to strawman?
I did enjoy this video format
