YouTube and Twitch sensation MoistCr1TiKaL, also known as Charlie, is stepping away from his involvement in The Official Podcast and The Red Thread following a tumultuous period marked by backlash against his co-host, Kaya, and a heated exchange with fellow influencer Sneako.
The decision for this indefinite break comes in the wake of a highly controversial debate between MoistCr1TiKaL and Rumble streamer Sneako. The debate, which covered sensitive topics such as child marriage and underage hormone replacement therapy, attracted widespread criticism for both participants. In a recent Patreon announcement from The Official Podcast, it was revealed that MoistCr1TiKaL is choosing to reduce his online presence, with the podcasts continuing without his participation.

Sneako, no stranger to controversy himself, commented on MoistCr1TiKaL’s hiatus during a Rumble broadcast, expressing a mixture of concern and criticism. He noted the differing levels of backlash faced by both influencers, highlighting his own experiences with public scrutiny and claiming mainstream influencers like MoistCr1TiKaL struggle to handle pressure.
The announcement on The Official Podcast’s Patreon, dated July 30, stated that Charlie is taking an indefinite hiatus to lessen his time spent online. The remaining hosts will continue the show and may consider bringing on a replacement, depending on how things evolve.
Fans of MoistCr1TiKaL are divided over the news, with some understanding his need for a break and others expressing disappointment over the significant change. His recent online behavior, including controversial statements and feuds, has led many to speculate about potential burnout. One fan noted, “I hope Charlie is alright. He seemed super stressed ever since his debate with Sneako.”
On August 1, MoistCr1TiKaL addressed the situation in a video titled “MoistCr1TiKaL Situation is Crazy,” clarifying that he is not quitting the internet but merely stepping back from a few projects. He joked about the confusion surrounding his supposed retirement, emphasizing that he was only reducing his online activities to avoid becoming “chronically online.”
The clash with Sneako over transgender rights, which sparked intense backlash, was a significant factor in MoistCr1TiKaL’s decision. He defended his stance on minors using hormone replacement therapy with family consent, a viewpoint that received considerable criticism. In a subsequent stream, he clarified his statements, stressing that he misunderstood Sneako’s hyperbolic comments about child transitioning.
The departure announcement from The Official Podcast and Red Thread was initially misconstrued as MoistCr1TiKaL quitting the internet altogether. Jackson, a member of The Official Channel, later clarified on Reddit that Charlie is only taking a break from these specific podcasts, not from content creation as a whole.
MoistCr1TiKaL’s decision to step back reflects his desire to manage his online presence better and avoid the pitfalls of being constantly online. While the future of The Official Podcast and The Red Thread remains uncertain, his fans hope for his well-being and eventual return.
