==Personality and Controversies==
===False Copyright Strikes===
On August 11, 2022, YouTuber Viz posted a tweet showing that two of his videos showcasing the game Pokémon Sun and Moon had been copyright claimed by MK8 Master!, stating that the claims were false and referred to MK8 Master! as "some random YouTuber."https://twitter.com/Vizualing/status/1557754207041626115
At the time MK8 Master! claimed he was going to remove the claims, he posted an apology to his YouTube Channel's community page. This apology was met extremely critically, with many people claiming it was insincere and low effort. His use of the phrase "can you really blame me" in the apology in particular was singled out as MK8 Master! trying to justify his own actions. After some amount of time, MK8 Master! updated the apology to read "@Viz I’m sorry I did this to you" followed by another paragraph explaining how he had come to the conclusion that Viz has stolen his content.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_NA2Fib-42b4WMd8QmMvPQ/community?lb=UgkxPxvrP2iQWsYwRczjeNLuHmCKCrqL6-81 
===Faked Alpharad Collaboration===
Around May 2021, MK8 Master! began claiming that a collaboration video between himself and YouTuber Alpharad was in the works.https://twitter.com/MK8MasterJunjie/status/1393907781015543813 This was immediately met with scepticism by those who frequently interacted with his tweets. MK8 Master! attempted to prove the collaboration was real by posting DMs between himself and Alpharad where they discussed the collaboration and what game they would play.https://twitter.com/MK8MasterJunjie/status/1393906194725572614 This was deemed fake by most people who saw it. By October 2021, MK8 Master! claimed that the collaboration had been cancelled by Alpharad due to it "causing so much drama."https://twitter.com/MK8MasterJunjie/status/1448449951483138048 In November 2021, while discussing an apparent upcoming collaboration with YouTuber LazarBeam (Also believed by most to have been faked.) However, he would continue to claim that the collaboration was cancelled whenever discussing it after this. In September 2022, Alpharad confirmed in a thread once more discussing the "cancelled" collaboration that the whole thing was "faked." https://twitter.com/Alpharad/status/1569635616299819009
=== Harassment of YouTubers ===
Every year on his birthday, MK8 Master! will send out a tweet tagging several YouTubers such as Alpharad, IntroSpecktive, Daily Dose Of Internet and others, asking them to wish him a happy birthday, claiming that they only have to do it one time otherwise they'll be tagged in an identical tweet the following year.https://twitter.com/MK8MasterJunjie/status/1558090943156391938https://twitter.com/MK8MasterJunjie/status/1565182063845617664
===Addressing the allegations===
On August 13, 2023, he, on his discord server, decided to host a Discord Stage (something akin to a Twitter Space) to address many of the allegations and negative attention he has been receiving over the past year. There have been several guest speakers at it, but the main ones were MK8 himself, phoenix wrong, Mk6 retrØ, thug shaker master, medikars, and Lee. The entire two-hour discussion was recorded by a YouTuber by the name of SonGoku.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EsgvPEkV5Q&ab_channel=SonGoku
