Kinda terrifying, kinda hilarious.
You may have seen some vlogger drama circulating on your social media feeds over the last few days, because the internet is currently in a frenzy because of James Charles’ most recent video.
It all started when James went on a cinema trip to see ‘It’.
He wasn’t a massive fan of the movie and afterwards tweeted (and deleted) that it was “awful”… and then chaos descended.
‘It’ fans lost it. We’re not sure why.
why am I being attacked for saying I didn't like a movie lmfao y'all need to find something better to do with your lives

James later apologised for his comment and later clarified that whilst he thought the film was well made, it just wasn’t his film. He was expecting a horror film, and was disappointed to find that it’s more a dark comedy.
It was a FANTASTICALLY made movie. I went into it expecting to be more horror & was disappointed when I wasn't scared. Simple as that. https://t.co/hkGm5yR0jK

He then proceeded to do a Pennywise makeup tutorial.
OH, THE SCANDAL.
most ironic makeup tutorial in history coming next week lmao pic.twitter.com/QQvb6tb9CJ

No, but seriously, people lost it.
I really have half of the internet angry over a makeup tutorial this is too funny
— James Charles (@jamescharles) October 7, 2017
Trolls came for James claiming that because he didn’t like the movie, then he shouldn’t do a make up tutorial on it.
James rightfully pointed out that it’s literally his job to create makeup tutorials. “You don’t have to like a movie to do a tutorial on a look from it & being that it’s the most popular movie right now, it would be dumb of me to not do a tutorial”, he wrote on YouTube.
me sleeping next week when my IT tutorial goes live & half of the views are from angry stans calling me a hypocrite bc I said I hated it pic.twitter.com/bpqfCBvZ7N

HOWEVER, then actors from ‘It’ started to jump on the bandwagon which has now caused even more drama.
Finn Wolfhard (also of Stranger Things fame) took a jab at the MUA for tweeting during the movie:
Why are you on your phone in the movie theater? Rule 1. https://t.co/Z2rm2phkbI

Then Wyatt Oleff, who plays Stanley in the film, also shaded James:
when you decide to exploit a movie that you hate for money & attention cause why not
— Wyatt Ghouleff (@FelloWyatt) October 9, 2017
And then things got really nasty:
It's not that I'm trying to be mean or roast anyone here, I get it, it's just business. Not a big deal. Just how the internet works.
— Wyatt Ghouleff (@FelloWyatt) October 9, 2017
I get that and it's totally fine. Just making a joke here on my end.
— Wyatt Ghouleff (@FelloWyatt) October 9, 2017
It’s not funny though? I’ve already said a million times you guys killed it in the movie & have apologized, you knew this “joke” was going
— James Charles (@jamescharles) October 9, 2017
to result in me getting dragged left and right once again. I have a ton of respect for all of you guys but this is uncalled for.
— James Charles (@jamescharles) October 9, 2017
oop sorry bout that lol. I can't control people, but I'll try to make sure that they aren't jerks to you again. Very sorry.
— Wyatt Ghouleff (@FelloWyatt) October 9, 2017
Guys, @jamescharles is just doing his job. His fans asked for the tutorial so he gave it. We're human, we make mistakes. Don't be a jerk.
— Wyatt Ghouleff (@FelloWyatt) October 9, 2017

— James Charles (@jamescharles) October 9, 2017
brother** but ok
— Wyatt Ghouleff (@FelloWyatt) October 9, 2017

— James Charles (@jamescharles) October 9, 2017
But Nicholas Hamilton who plays Henry Bowers wanted to have the final word:
mmm but stop tho
— Nicholas Hamilton (@Nic_Hamilton) October 9, 2017
Oh yeah, and this totally happened too...
