Weegeepie

Lucas (born: ),Proxy on Twitter: "Happy birthday!!!!!!!" 23 Apr 2023 better known online as Weegeepie, is a French YouTuber known for his animated videos mainly revolving around the character Luigi of the Mario franchise.
==Origins==
Weegeepie originated from the SMG4 video MarioTubeMarioTube, where all of SMG4's characters got a fake YouTube channel, and Lucas took Luigi's channel named Weegeepie and made it his own channel.
==Translator==
Lucas had a fan translator (WeegeepieGerman) that would upload his videos in the German language. WeegeepieGerman also grew and got his own SM64 Character Hack, which was featured in Weegeepie's 2018 Halloween special.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNEsMdyWBTw
Before WeegeepieGerman started translating Weegeepie's Videos, WeegeepieGerman was impersonating Weegeepie. Weegeepie made a video reacting to "Fake Weegee". WeegeepieGerman later apologized for this and started to translate Weegeepie's videos into German.THE FLOOR IS LAVA!!!!! [ German ]
WeegeepieGerman has since stopped translating his videos into German, and has started making his own content instead.
==100K Special==
Weegeepie's 100K Specialhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnrPDEXQwXk&t was a Collab inspired by SMG4's 2 Million Collab special, where the fans/viewers could make Machinima content and submit them to have a chance of being featured in the video.
Lucas received many submissions, with the video being 46:38 seconds long.

==Controversies==
===Stealing SMG4's videos===
Luke, the owner of the SMG4 channel that inspired Lucas' channel, left a comment on one of Weegeepie's videos saying that he was stealing his work. Soon after, Lucas uploaded a videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3rjFZWyJAI where he apologized and said he was going to become an independent creator. Luke left a comment on the apology video, acknowledging his apology and understanding that no harm was done.
===Usage of slurs, inappropriate behavior===
On January 25, 2024, Twitter user hushmush14 attached a Google Documenthttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1GeNsF5lVq6JxQj8BAhXSwgFyXdYNX3--mSKNX3gokQI/edit#heading=h.rb1h1110efvh, accusing Lucas of being racist, homophobic and transphobic. He was also accused of using slurs towards other people, as well using the N word and the F slur, and sending explicit photos to minors. Lucas has also made a prank on another user by sending them an inappropriate edit of Mario, meant to be framed like it was vmario’s. Vmario was only slightly aware of it and just let Lucas go through with it. The purpose of this was to troll other members of the group chat into thinking Proxy was being groomed.
Lucas originally did not take the document seriously, and made joke responses towards it, refusing to acknowledging it. This however changed a few days later, where he would make a statementhttps://docs.google.com/document/d/1HUIpboq27wLsklMHMxG6xUQ0IYZgH3mAaxv04M2VUA0/edit, where he stated to be able to reclaim such slurs, while also stating that a lot of the content of the documents were taken out of its original context. He has also announced he would leave Twitter and other social media.
===Allegations of grooming, pedophilia and rape===
On February 5, 2024, hushmush14 made a follow-up document against Lucas, accusing him of grooming and pedophilia, with manipulative behavior being involved. In this document, it is also said that Lucas has more than one account on Discord, with multiple of them being mentioned within the document.
In this document, Lucas was also accused of sending inappropriate pictures of himself to minors, doing inappropriate Discord calls, owning explicit photos of minors/children on his computer, and raiding Discord servers with explicit images.
It is also mentioned that he got his father involved in the situation, with the latter sending an e-mail to one of the victims, threatening to file international charges.
Lucas has said he would be working on a response video to the allegations after his hospitalization.
On February 25, 2024, hushmush14 made a third document, accusing him again of pedophilia and grooming, but this time, providing a testimony of one of his ex for alledged sexual assault and physical abuse.
According to the document, Lucas engaged in a relationship with a 12-year-old while being 17, by initially meeting them on Roblox and getting into a relationship with them. Their relationship quickly turned sexual and continued well after he turned 18 years old, while she turned 13. It is said that Lucas deleted most messages with the 12-year-old and blocked them afterwards, causing the screenshots in the document to be one-sided.
According to the victim, Lucas gifted the 13 year old nitro so she could send nudes to him. Lucas allegedly took the nudes she sent and put them in a “folder” that he has, which includes photos of other (presumably underage) girls. Lucas asked the minor to see her shower, request that she felt uncomfortable to, which ended up being done in a videocall. The minor initially claimed being 15, but told him she lied about her age after she turned 13. The trading of illicit images stopped after the second document was released, according to the document.
Throughout August 2019 to the end of 2020, Lucas had a physical relationship with a girl that started when they were both 14. In the document, Lucas was accused of doing multitude of heinous acts during this relationship, including forcing sexual acts on her without her consent in a forest. 
After they broke up, his ex found out he made a new instagram account, apparently to talk to other younger girls. When his ex tried to warn the young girls that the age gap was inappropriate and that it could be dangerous for them, Lucas contacted her, apparently threatening to hospitalize her so she wouldn't expose this info to anybody. In the second document by hushmush14, Lucas' IRL ex stated that she was the 14 year old in the video mentioned in the second document.
A girl who has tried to call out Lucas in 2021, made her return in the document, claiming she was a victim of grooming by Lucas, claiming she was 12 at the time of the events, with Lucas being 16.
Lucas stated he was still working on acquiring evidence for his video, due to the third document being released. He has stated that the documents are blatant lies. Some users however criticized him for playing videogames instead and not focusing on the video itself.https://twitter.com/WeegeepieYT/status/1762186938935570487
=== GLITCH Productions Tweet ===
On February 26, 2024, Lucas made post on Xhttps://twitter.com/WeegeepieYT/status/1762186665848643825 (formerly Twitter) addressing his experiences at GLITCH Productions. He stated that while the people there are wonderful, he found the work overwhelming for him, causing him to leave the company. In this post, however, many criticized the fact he talked about this while not addressing the allegations, which he said in his post that it was a terrible timing, but that he still felt like talking about this. 
His post was very poorly received, with some saying that he should be working on his response video. He replied to someone stating that he did not groom underage minors.
=== Resprune's video ===
On March 21, 2024, Resprune, a former associate and friend of Lucas, uploaded a video on YouTube giving his insight on the situation, while also interviewing one of his former close friends.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_GnF9-VzXA In this video, he provided evidence regarding his interactions with Lucas, while the testimony discussed with him in regards to Lucas' relation with the 12-year-old. He also explained how Lucas still hasn't begun the response, and how the testimony confirmed the prolongated contact with the 12-year-old while he was 17. 
The video quickly gained traction from numerous amount of people, with many praising its more serious format in comparison to the Twitter documents made on Lucas.
=== The Fourth Document ===
A fourth document was made on Lucas on March 31st, where Resprune's video would be mentionned, while providing evidence of another victim of Weegeepie, and also giving an in-depth analysis of his potential arguments, revealed by a screenshot taken by IdrissIDK.https://twitter.com/hushmush14/status/1774486770794598691 In said document, it also criticized Mewdufad's response posted by Needster, due to Mewdufad saying they did not read the documents.https://twitter.com/Needster/status/1769032625400783154
=== Weegeepie's Response Video ===
On April 21, 2024, Lucas uploaded his response to the allegations on an alternate account.https://youtu.be/o8bwCa30wP0?si=uWaFWdo6Hh45j71o The video has been heavily criticized and panned for leaving out crucial details of the documents and for being a poorly-produced response.
Strangely, videos debunking Lucas’ response have been deleted off YouTube, leading people to assume that Lucas himself is deleting these videos.https://twitter.com/hushmush14/status/1783085279651209224
The debunking videos have incredibly strong evidence against Weegeepie, which is most likely why they were taken down.
=== Removing Credit ===
In May 2024, after the grooming allegations came out, multiple videos others have worked on (ex. Luigi plays SLITHER.IO 2021, Luigi Reacts to MEMES) have had the credits removed from them, despite the videos being edited by guest editors (such as Theawesomario Revamped). Eventually these videos were either deleted entirely or unlisted and trimmed down.https://youtu.be/dcoC8QKDMCk?si=zysyP1uV4Cbg9gwN
Something similar also happened to every Weegeepie Collab after the 100K COLLAB SPECIAL. This includes the 500k Collabhttps://youtu.be/cGjxojPE2ns?si=Xb1GVc2sVwJ59sHF and 2 Million Collab.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGjxojPE2ns The videos had every collab entry removed and became unlisted.
This is a less known situation, and Weegeepie has not made a statement about this on any platform.
=== Profiting off N64 ROM addons and privately made assets ===
On May 30, 2024, Weegeepie was exposed on Twitter/X again for selling N64 ROM files, custom assets and maps made by other people, music, and private files straight from GLITCH Productions while he was still working for them before his departure in 2023 for $120 on his Patreon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=509JHlm5KO4
