Calvin Vail (born August 18, 1995), also known as Leafy or LeafyIsHere, is an American former YouTuber and former Twitch streamer who, from the years 2011 to 2017, and 2020, made reaction, drama, and let's play videos but is mostly known for commentary.[4]

Beginning in 2016, Vail was involved in several conflicts with other YouTubers which led to allegations of cyberbullying. Vail was permanently banned by YouTube in 2020, citing repeated violations of their harassment policies.[1][5]

Career[edit]

Vail started his channel in 2011, and uploaded his first video in 2013. He focused primarily on Gaming Let's Plays. His videos often included him playing Minecraft later that year he made commentary talking over gameplay footage of video games including Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Superhot. He had amassed 4.8 million subscribers before he slowed his uploading schedule down and went on a hiatus in December 2017.[6]

According to Bryan Menegus of Gizmodo, Vail mocked a man in 2016 with a learning disability, and had earlier made fun of an autistic man known as TommyNC2010, after which YouTube and Reddit communities rallied behind Tommy, prompting Vail to release an apology.[7]

In 2015 and 2016, Vail was the target of a swatting campaign, with repeated calls to the police between December 2015 and February 2016. At that time he resided in Layton, Utah.[8]

Controversies and channel termination[edit]

Vail's YouTube channel LeafyIsHere was a drama channel, which commented on gossip involving online content creators.[4]

In 2016, YouTuber iDubbbz featured Leafy in an episode of his 'Content Cop' series, accusing him and his videos of cyberbullying, among other things.[9][10] Also in 2016, Vail accused YouTuber Evalion of supporting Nazism and antisemitism. Shortly after Vail drew attention to her, Evalion was banned by YouTube.[11] Later that year, Vail's statements regarding transgendervlogger Milo Stewart, in which he criticized the concept of gender identity, were taken down by YouTube for harassment.[12]

In 2019 iDubbbz's video criticizing Vail was taken down after it was determined to be in violation of YouTube's guidelines.[13]

After a two-and-a-half-year hiatus Vail returned to YouTube with a video insulting iDubbbz in April 2020, following which he resumed posting frequently.[14] In July, Vail began criticizing Twitch streamer Pokimane and her supporters based on speculation about her personal life.[15][4]

On August 21, 2020, Vail's YouTube account was permanently terminated.[15] According to The Verge, Vail's channel had three violations in the previous three months, such as cyberbullying and encouraging viewers to disrupt other people's streams. A YouTube spokesperson said the channel had repeatedly violated YouTube's policies on harassment.[5] Following the ban, Vail began streaming frequently on Twitch.[16] He has also posted on competing video platform StoryFire.[5] He also got into conflicts with YouTuber Ethan Klein, known as H3H3.[16]

On September 11, 2020, Vail's Twitch account was also banned. Earlier that day, Vail had tweeted about receiving a strike on his account from Twitch for 'hateful conduct and threats of violence against a person or group of people'. Twitch did not comment on the ban or indicate whether it was permanent.[16]

Hey what's up, guys, and welcome back to a brand new video on the GODDAMN internet.

Leafyishere

Calvin Lee Vail (born ), known on YouTube as LeafyIsHere, often shortened to Leafy, is an American YouTuber and comedian from Layton, Utah (moved to Seattle, Washington) who makes commentary and reaction videos. Although the main focuses of his videos are his commentaries, there is gameplay footage in the background of various different video games, most commonly the 'surf' game mode in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. He also plays other games, most commonly: A Story About My Uncle, Doom, and Overwatch.

Fanbase

LeafyIsHere’s fanbase, who often calls themselves “Reptilians” or “The Reptilian Brotherhood,” are known to often spam videos and channels with comments such as “hiss” and 'nice shirt'—mostly on videos that LeafyIsHere talks about. Around the time when Leafy's channel was first gaining rapid popularity, many of Leafy's fans spread the phrases 'Hissss' and 'Leaf a Like' on multiple websites attracting the attention of large amounts of internet users. Multiple YouTubers, and even the infamous hacker group “Lizard Squad” (known for hacking PlayStation Network and Xbox Live on multiple occasions), once tweeted “hiss” to LeafyIsHere multiple times, which caused “hiss” to become an inside joke on LeafyIsHere’s channel.

History

Origins

LeafyIsHere (Calvin) started off his YouTube channel, originally posting Minecraft gameplay videos at the age of 16. He owned a ParaPVP Minecraft server to game upon, however he made a kid angry, who ended up calling him a faggot and ddosed his Minecraft server. LeafyIsHere therefore moved onto CS:GO gameplay.

Rapid Growth and Success

In January, 2016, LeafyIsHere video uploaded a video called 'THE SADDEST MAN ON YOUTUBE', where he talked about the YouTuber known as MrBlackDarkness666, a depressed goth male who always got harassed by other people, including smaller children, where the man would tell the children to kill themselves. MrBlackDarkness666 saw it as harassment and uploaded a video titled “LEAFYISHERE GO FUCK YOURSELF,” in which he stated that MrBlackDarkness666‘s girlfriend broke up with him because she thought that LeafyIsHere’s video had a point and that MrBlackDarkness666 acted immature. MrBlackDarkness666 ended the video with him showing a picture of LeafyIsHere in real life, setting fire to it with his cigarette, and ripping it apart, claiming that he can make LeafyIsHere “go away.” LeafyIsHere later responded with another video named “THE SADDEST MAN ON THE INTERNET,” in which he claimed that his video was not intended for harassment purposes and that he was sorry for MrBlackDarkness666, but that it is not Leafy‘s fault that MrBlackDarkness666’s girlfriend broke up with him. They both later appeared in a DramaAlert episode, in which they both apologized to each other and MrBlackDarkness666 undid his “curse” which he put on LeafyIsHere.

On March 20th, 2016, LeafyIsHere uploaded a video titled “THE MOST HEROIC FEDORA MAN ON YOUTUBE,” in which talked about a YouTuber with autism, TommyNC2010. A day later, TommyNC2010 uploaded a video titled “I am getting Death Threats LeafyIsHere , why?,“ in which TommyNC2010, upset, recorded himself crying and explaining how he was getting a lot of hate from LeafyIsHere’s fans, which caused h3h3Productions to make a video about the situation (now unlisted). LeafyIsHere soon took down the video and uploaded an apology video appropriately titled “Apology. However, after h3h3Productions’s former rant about LeafyIsHere received over a million views, LeafyIsHere made a response video (now unlisted), stating that Ethan Klein from h3h3Productions tried to side with LeafyIsHere, where he shows several text messages from h3h3Productions talking negatively the YouTuber Pyrocynical. Pyrocynical eventually made two videos addressing the situation, the latter of which titled “Let's Call it Quits #uniteyoutube.” The first of which Pyrocynical removed. Keemstar attempted to invite both parties to DramaAlert later on to discuss the matter but failed. Later H3H3 apologized for his critique of Leafy, stating that the video was 'too personal' and 'making it seem that Leafy was his enemy '. Leafy now includes a disclaimer on his videos for fans to not 'witch hunt' the people/content he reviews.

On June 13th, 2016, LeafyisHere uploaded a video titled 'THE KEEMSTAR AND DRAMAALERT RANT', where he talked about how Keemstar was doing 'some criminal shit', which included threatening to release people's information if they criticized him. Leafy also talked about how he falsely accuses people of being a pedophile, with one such accusation making an old man cry while he was streaming. Another point in the video was that Keemstar was being a hypocrite, according to Leafy. The 'golden rule', according to Keemstar, was that private conversation that leafy is a retarded faggot who should suicide are supposed to stay private. When someone informed Keemstar that Leafy was going to make a video about the false pedophile allegations, he told Leafy that if he was to make a tweet or video about him, he would release his DM'S (Direct Messages) with him. Leafy also brought up that Keemstar was invading other people's privacy and revealing their faces.

On July 4th, 2016, LeafyIsHere’s YouTube channel was hacked by Twitter user PoodleCorp, who changed the video titles of all of LeafyIsHere’s videos to “hacked by twitter.com/poodlecorp.

Decline

On September 13th, 2016, Idubbbz created a 'Content Cop' video on Leafy criticizing his videos' content for (in Idubbbz's opinion) having bad format and overall low quality. He has also played several existing jokes on Leafy, such as referring to Leafy as a cyberbully and the size of Leafy's chin, with these jokes either being combined or used interchangeably. After this, Leafy's sub-count began to fall. Eventually, according to Social Blade and Keemstar, causing Leafy losing 2,000 subscribers per day. Leafy has yet to recover from this; since then he has lost over 300 thousand subscribers and his viewership has declined rapidly.

Currently, Leafy's videos' comment sections are going brutal due to mass amounts of flame wars in the comment sections between Leafy and a person Leafy mentioned.Misha considers LeafyIsHere, Pyrocynical, RiceGum and KeemStar being cyberbully channels yet, Misha is being ironic due to him making English songs that seem to annoy his viewers into leaving him hate comments.
