Youtuber Michou apologizes for inappropriate questions sold in his game “Who will be the liar?” »

YOUTUBE – The videographer makes his mea culpa. Unaccustomed to controversies, YouTuber Michou was forced to apologize to his community, or more precisely to a part of his community who purchased his latest derivative product: a board game entitled “Who will be the liar? ». A game box that has undoubtedly slipped under many Christmas trees at the end of 2024.

But then, why excuses for a simple game of cards? According to several owners of the game box created by Michou, the wording of certain questions poses a problem, because it is unsuitable for an uninformed public, whereas the board game is recommended for ages 7 and up, and therefore presented as a “game”. familial » et « all public “. Which is obviously not the case for the entire game which consists of telling an anecdote (true or totally false) based on a subject proposed on a previously drawn card.

This is where Michou’s excuses come into play. Because the crude side of certain questions, based on sex, drugs or alcohol, caused an almost immediate outcry among certain players, who probably did not expect not for this type of questions, let’s say too mature. Selected pieces: “Have you ever had an erotic dream”, “Have you ever used narcotics?” » or even “Have you ever used an everyday object to do something naughty?” “.

Enough to surprise some buyers, especially since Michou inspires content calibrated for young children, used to following the 23-year-old YouTuber. Faced with the negative reactions which began to accumulate on the internet, based on very surprised testimonies, even shocked by the content of certain questions when the game had been offered to a child under 10 years old, Michou finally expressed this Friday, December 27.

“An error on the part of the publisher”

In response to the testimony of an aunt shocked by the contents of her nine-year-old niece’s gift, the videographer explains that he clearly saw the “ complaints made on social networks » in recent days. Before confirming “ an error on the part of the publisher on the age target of the game ».

To reassure fans and parents, Michou assures that he will keep his audience and fans informed of possible changes to come for his game, published by the company Topi Games. The rest of his message allows him to apologize for the few eyebrows raised after opening the game box at the foot of the tree. “ I want to apologize to anyone who might have been disappointed by this, really. “, he wrote on the social network

The videographer therefore largely placed the blame on the publisher of the game, who indeed presents “Who will be the liar? » like a family game. Moreover, a simple glance at the Topi Games website confirms this desire to sell it as entertainment. for family fun moments ».

A description “all public” that the Youtuber himself maintained on video by declaring that his game box was « ideal for playing with friends, family, or even with new acquaintances…”. However, not sure that telling an anecdote about a “ animal in heat who wanted to do it with you » to a « new knowledge » is definitely a good idea.
