      Markiplier’s just his handle on YouTube. His name is Mark Fischbach, he streams horror games, is widely credited as the streamer who catapulted FNAF to fame, and his mother is a North Korean escapee. He has a lovely wife, Amy, and a dog named Chica. He branched out from gaming and has made a few made-for-YouTube skit series and stories. A couple years ago, he and a friend named Ethan Nestor-Darling (CrankGameplays) made an experimental channel called Unus Annus, where they pretty much just did odd and offbeat things for a year and then deleted the entire thing. It was wildly popular.

      His superpower is that he is such a genuinely good and normal dude that he has never been canceled by his fans. No kid touching, no crypto scams, no NFT shit, no suicide forest video, no game show challenge that violates the Geneva Conventions, nothing.

          It’s notable among YouTubers, mostly because YouTubers quickly became the new emo bands. Know how it was sort of an open secret that all of the emo bands in the 00’s and 10’s were sleeping with children? And they all got canceled when the literal decades of allegations started coming to light?

          Yeah, that’s YouTubers now. Especially YouTubers who make content that is popular with kids and tweens, like lots of the original Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite YouTubers. And Mark does well in that age demographic, so everyone was holding their breath to see if he’d ever be accused of anything. But for all intents and purposes, Mark seems to be YouTube’s version of Keanu Reeves; very down to earth, not full of himself, just wants to make content because he is driven to do so.

          Yes, but not most people with several million followers. Staying human with that much fame is the impressive part.
