﻿A few days ago, Corpse Husband’s face reveal was leaked or more correctly doxxed from an exhaustive
search through everything he has revealed about himself through the years of being on Youtube.
Philip Defranco and Noah Carter have already cashed in on the easy views with Philip,
going so far as to report on the issue but not actually say anything of value
and then finish of with “I’m not going to show the images to protect Corpse Husband.” For someone
who has been on Youtube since the creation of the platform itself, Philip should really know better
about virtue signalling his true intentions. That’s easy money is all im saying.
Now I’m not going to bullshit my hopefully more mature audience by saying that Im not going to
harm Corpse’s image by not showing the face leak images in question. By creating this video, I’ve
created an informational hazard which will spark many of you to seek out the very images we’re
trying to avoid sharing. I respectfully ask that inevitably your curiosity will get the best of you
but that you do not share the images and instead use this opportunity to learn about the role
of physical attractiveness in how prevalent it is in our lives and how it affects the way you
see people, both real and fictional. This event is the perfect opportunity for
me to speak to my audience, many of whom haven’t been on the internet long enough to remember the
days where internet privacy and stranger danger were real concepts and not just boomer memes.
Andrei Terbea explained it best in the rise of faceless youtubers, where youtube started off
with anonymous creators, but then the likes of Tyler Oakley, Jenna Marbles and David Dobrick
made a living off of having everything about their lives online and documented like a twisted Black
Mirror Episode. Nowadays, Youtubers are switching back to the anonymous format but without the
knowledge of how to protect themselves online that the earlier youtubers of 2010 to 2014 had.
Corpse’s dox is an inevitability, and I certainly don’t want to sound like a
victim blamer, but with the internet being accessible to quite literally everyone,
just like I wouldn’t paint myself as an easy target walking through a sketchy neighbourhood,
I certainly wouldn’t want to paint myself as a target online,especially
not the biggest target by being the largest faceless youtuber by influence and reach. This
is one of the challenges of making your money on the internet, from a website being randomly
hacked for the lolz to having your personal details doxed. The entirety of the internet
is a sketchy neighbourhood, and the harder you try to conceal your vulnerabilities, which for Corpse
was his face, the larger the bounty became for his antagonists, but that’s not the full picture
as to why this was inevitable. Corpse Husband’s Appeal
If you’re new to the channel, we use science to challenge the subjectivity of beauty.
Beauty is not in the eye of the beholder but rather in universal beauty standards we all
subconsciously agree with, and Corpse’s voice has a very large influence as to why his perceived
attractiveness was so great. From Zuckerman et al’s 1993[a] paper, there are a number of factors
that influence the attractiveness of a voice, most importantly loudness and resonance, and if you’ve
noticed in Corpses’ among us playthroughs, his voice always stands out by volume. For this study,
Deepness, Throatiness and Monotonousness had negative correlations for women but
positive ones for men and these three traits are exactly what Corpse’s voice has an abundance of
due to his acid reflux disease. Also, in the peak of his Among Us popularity, Corpse rarely spoke
and so when he did, the loudness and cadence of his voice made everyone stop and listen,
making his perceived attractiveness only go up as he displayed social dominance through his voice
alone. Getting lots of Twitch streamers with large followings to simp over your voice also
helps make you seem more desirable not only to other women, but to the men who pride themselves
on being Pokimane tier 3 subs as well. Most of you know Corpse through one of three ways
from his time on youtube. As the creepy pasta narrator, the among us player and lastly the
rapper/musician. Back when he was a Creepypasta narrator his appeal was through his voice alone
and for many his voice was considered creepy as in unappealing, perhaps because he wasn’t
as mainstream or famous as he is now. As an among us player, this is when the world started seeing
Corpse differently, where he started transitioning into his rapping career by playing out the edgy
and mysterious persona. What was once, to him a weakness, became his brand as a faceless youtuber
and this is when things started to get out of hand. Corpse’s hand reveal went viral on twitter,
and make no mistake he knew exactly what he was doing. Thirst traps don’t have to be all
Abs and Ass. As I’ve explained many times in the Patreon Podcast, the female gaze, in other words
what woman actually want, vs the male gaze where men think they know what woman want,
find hands very attractive, far more so than abs, legs, shoulders and arms,
only just behind the face itself. So Corpses hand reveal, which is a moderately nicely shaped hand
was no coincidence and this only increased his perceived attractiveness and set himself up for
failure if his looks did not match the image he himself was cultivating for his audience
and there are many more examples of this. See with Dream’s dox it was different. Dream is a
Minecraft Youtuber who makes speedruns and manhunt videos with the occasional homoerotic comment
towards his friends. While his fanbase is young and impressionable, he doesn’t go particularly out
of his way to cultivate a larger than life image of himself, but he also doesn’t deny it either
which is why he was a target of being doxxed, albeit a lesser bounty for his antagonists.
Corpse on the other hand, benefits directly from keeping up the image of an attractive,
edgy E-boy with the painted nails, veiny arms and suggestive imagery and so in many ways he
is actively scorning the people who do not like him and fuelling the fire for those who. This is
why the expectations for what he looks like are so much higher than for virtually any other Youtuber.
I’ve been around long enough to know this and technically I’m a faceless youtuber myself,
but I pulled an Eminem early on and don’t try too hard to protect my identity because inevitably to
run QOVES I need to give interviews, meet business owners in person and work with my employees.
The harder you try to hide something, the harder Barbra Streisand will slap you back,
and if you don’t know who that is, then this is the exact problem im talking about
with history repeating itself on a new generation of content creators.
The Dox Itself I want to touch on a few aspects of this dox,
because from a technical standpoint, it is very rigorous and well thought out and you should
understand how it happened. Corpse, being a faceless youtuber for a very long time now,
has unmistakably left breadcrumbs that people have used against him. Namely what state and
city he lives around. Then from that information, his older 2016 snapchats had key identifying clues
to them like a distinct sign that allows his Doxers to hone in on the municipality.
The rest is clueing together where the snapchats were taken and by shear luck
people recognised the Jamba Juice and Wal-mart from his snaps and then creating a radius that
a person would travel to like a 20 minute walk from Walmart means he could live in XYZ
radius. One of Corpses friends also had posted pictures with Corpse (obviously out of view)
which left key details in the background that could be linked to corpse’s hand thirst traps,
especially a picture that gave away the villa they were staying at and the craziest part to
me is that somehow the doxer was able to recover a list of tenants staying there.
How is that allowed. Well once you have a name, the rest is history, going so far as to find his
grandma’s facebook and as most grandparents are proud and open of their grandchildren,
she was inevitably the weakest link here putting the nail in the coffin.
Why did I go through this in detail? For two reasons, one, the popular consensus from those
who are less aware of how these doxes work (which is 90% of Corpse’s audience because they’re all
under the age of 16) believe that this is a fake and this is some random person that everyone is
bullying for their looks. Im going to play devils advocate and say that given the complexity of how
this happened, this is no random person. Secondly, deflecting blame everytime a dox does happen,
especially one as serious as this, takes away from the gravity of the situation. Oh it’s just some
random kid, who cares then. With his fans trying to do damage control like a badly run PR firm,
only makes the situation worse and gets the hashtag trending on Twitter.
Most doxes happen because of your facebook profile. For some people it’s their entire
life’s biodata, but not only does this affect you, but everyone you’re friends with on the platform
as well. By default your details are made public, and while most younger generations are aware of
online privacy, your grandparents certainly are not, and if there’s a weak link in the chain,
it doesn’t matter how strong your chain-mail is. For most, you may think that this doesn’t
apply to you, because who would want to dox you, but it doesnt hurt to be safe.
This also raises a larger question of is there a looks requirement to make it in
music. Susan Boyle was praised not only for her beautiful voice but also for winning despite being
conventionally unattractive, then she fell into obscurity so I don’t know where Im going with
this point. Corpse’s lyrics are very sexualised, and this leans towards his demographic of young,
impressionable girls. The problem is in each of these girls minds there is an idealized image of
Corpse. For some, Corpse is a sun tanned Latino man with curly hair. For others’ corpse is very
white passing with sharp facial features. When the images came out, Schrodinger’s Corpse was
settled and granted that they’re from 7 years ago it gave people the impression
that he doesn’t have the sharp facial features he himself shows on his Social media profiles. Now
from a facial aesthetic point of view, I don’t think he catfished anyone, and the replies on
twitter are exactly how children see the world, in binaries of black and white, ugly and attractive.
He has similar features to his profile pic but given what he has said in interviews,
due to his chronic illnesses he struggles with weight nowadays, I can only assume that by this
he means water retention, bloating and edema which are symptoms of his illnesses and this
can make the cheeks appear puffy and so had he not had these handicaps, he certainly isn’t false
advertising and twitter is being childish as expected, his fans are being irrational,
unable to consider a viewpoint other than their own for a second and the people who
doxed him should be condemned rather than everyone deflecting blame and forgetting the
violation of privacy that has taken place. [a]Miron Zuckerman; Kunitate Miyake (1993). The
