“Have you ever had an animal in heat who wanted to do it with you?”, “Have you ever used an everyday object to do something naughty?”. Here are some of the questions found in “Who will be the liar”, the board game launched by Michou. Problem: this family quiz is intended for children from… 7 years old. On X, the content creator apologized and announced that the box would be withdrawn from sale. “A refund will be made to customers,” he promised.
“I am really sorry to everyone who was offended by this, I will make sure that this kind of thing never happens again by redoubled effort and attention on future projects,” writes the 23-year-old by sharing a press release from Topi Games, the publisher of the game. It mentions “a manufacturing error in the content validation processes” and affirms “assumes total and complete responsibility for this error”.
Inspired by Michou’s videos, “Who will be the liar” was launched for the Holidays. However, after Christmas, the streamer was questioned on social networks, with supporting photos, due to the sexual nature of certain questions contained in the game. “But the creators lost their temper there”, “But it ‘what are these degenerates to ask this kind of question and this age?!’, ‘Who are the people who validate this, really? At 7 years old, you are still in primary school,” we can read in the comments on X.
Other Internet users are surprised that Michou, who had posted a video where we see him playing “Who will be the liar” with his friends to promote it, was not aware of the ole-ole side of certain questions . “It’s difficult to pretend that you weren’t aware knowing that you played the game live and that you asked the questions that are problematic, with the game box in your hands where it says “starting 7 years old. Can’t you own up and say “I screwed up”?”, wrote one of them on X.
