A few days ago we celebrated Christmas and who says Christmas says gifts. And there is this board game called Who is the liar? created by YouTuber Michou intended for players aged 7 and over who should certainly not have found themselves under certain children's Christmas trees. Elsa Bois' companion faced a scandal because of his board game. Explanations.
After YouTube, Michou launches into board games
After becoming known on YouTube, having participated in the show Dancing With The Stars on TF1 which allowed him to meet Elsa Bois, proposed Dancing With The Internet Stars or even opened a fast-food restaurant in Amiens whose inauguration turned into a fiasco, Michou decided to start creating board games.
However, even if the game is designed for be accessible to players aged at least 7 years oldthis is the gift that parents regret having offered at the foot of the tree. They had a nasty surprise when they discovered this board game called Who will be the liar?
Indeed, question-based card game clearly makes sexual innuendo. Among the questions found in the box are “Have you ever been burned while enjoying a solitary pleasure?” “Have you ever used an everyday object to do something naughty?” or “Have you ever had an animal in heat who wanted to do it with you?“. Other cards talk about drugs like “Have you ever used narcotics?“. In total, these are no less than 18 cards which pose a problem for children aged at least 7 years old. Clearly, this type of game should have been reserved for an adult audience.
Internet users are stepping up to the plate, Michou must apologize
Very quickly, Michou found himself under fire from Internet users who felt that there was a problem with the age recommendation from sellers when another Internet user judges the game to be “a shame“. A father who had given the game to his daughter made a report to the DGCCRF and his complaint was handled immediately.
In short, I might as well tell you that in the face of the outcry, Michou was forced to speak on his Instagram account in order to apologize. The YouTuber puts forward the argument ofan error on the part of the game publisher regarding the age indication.
He added to find out what to do and to apologize “towards all the people it could have disappointed“. For his part, the sales director of the company that publishes the game claimed not to be aware of the controversy.
