Video Reddit: Who Is TikToker Scarlet May? In a video posted to TikTok on Wednesday, deaf TikTok user Scarlet May responded to PewDiePie, whose real name is Felix Kjellberg.

Kjellberg, who has 111 million YouTube subscribers, published a video on Tuesday titled “My Dog Cringes at TikToks” in which he and his dog, Maya, reacted to trending videos that caused them to “cringe.”

 

Video Reddit: Who Is TikToker Scarlet May?

Scarlet May, 21, of Washington, DC, is a TikToker with 6.2millions followers. She rose to prominence in 2020 with her funny Deaf Kardashian series which received millions of views.

In the series, she used to play out scenes from the reality program using sassy sign language. In the videos, the Tiktok user dresses up as the famous sisters and signs along to some of the most memorable sequences from the reality show Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

She also claimed on her YouTube channel that she began losing her hearing at the age of three. However she has yet to divulge the medical cause for this, and she soon learned to sign.

She now frequently shares her own experiences, makeup videos, style videos, and fitness videos on her channel. And, most recently, she made a video in which she criticizes another TikToker for appearing to mock her in his reaction videos.

May explained that her goal was to demonstrate that people who use sign language also have long nails. 

“I wasn’t surprised at the same time. “I’m used to it,” she said.

“But then a major creator comes on here and throws us back a million steps,” May said. She also added that if it had been any other individual with long nails giving a narrative without needing to sign, they would not be mocked.

“But since I have long nails and had to sign to communicate, he stopped the video after two seconds and didn’t even listen to the tale, and then continued to make fun of me with his dog.”

May went on to criticize PewDiePie for cutting the segment out of his video rather than apologizing to her.

PewDiePie, A Youtuber Facing Backlash for Mocking Deaf

 
 

PewDiePie, a Swedish YouTube sensation whose real name is Felix Arvid Ulf Kjellberg, is being backlashed for reportedly mocking a deaf TikToker in his most recent video.

PewDiePie listened while May delivered a narrative in American Sign Language in the video, which has since been removed but is still available on social media.

However, after only a few seconds, he refused to view the video and stated, “No, I’m not listening to this.”

PewDiePie, who was with his dog, Maya at the time, said that the pug has the “same crazy nails” as May. Kjellberg then appeared to imitate American Sign Language while holding both of Maya’s paws and waving them around.

“Sorry, are my nails bothering you?” Kjellberg added. 

PewDiePie edited the portion out of the video and re-uploaded it to his 111 million subscribers after receiving immediate backlash for “mocking” his fellow social media influencer.

However, he neglected to update the video’s thumbnail, which still included a photo of May. But PewDiePie was too late, as several social media users managed to film and publish the clip.

“So why isn’t anyone talking about Pewdiepie mocking a deaf black woman?” one user asked, after posting the video.

“Pewdiepie ridiculing a deaf TikTok maker for signing in her videos merely because she has long nails…as if the man couldn’t get much worse,” said a second person.

“Honestly, if you still enjoy Pewdiepie, you should grow up.” Not only is he racist, but he’s also reportedly ridiculing a deaf girl on TikTok who uses sign language,” a third person commented.

Scarlet May did not reply quickly to a request for comment. Wednesday afternoon, she posted a video on TikTok with the comment “we all make mistakes, maybe he learns from this.”

“I’ve been attempting to normalize and spread the word that using nails while signing is natural and acceptable,” Scarlet May explained. “But then a major creative comes on here and throws us back a million steps.”
