Isn't Vaush pronounced as "Vowsh?"

This Wikipedia article claims that Vaush is pronounced like "Vawsh." This is incorrect because Vaush is pronounced as Vowsh by the majority of people including Ian. Proof: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibLcl8jxY8c&t=29s MakingAUsername (talk) 03:42, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Vaush prounounces his name like "Vawsh" most of the time. I can't recall a time he's said "Vowsh" when it isn't implied he's joking. Counterproof: https://youtube.com/watch?v=hKJLDC4IaDI at 0:11, 0:17, 0:37, 0:59, 2:25, 2:27, 2:36, 4:17, 5:33, 10:16, 12:05, 14:15, 14:48...I could go on, but this is plenty evidence to support /vɔːʃ/ as the correct pronunciation. LeftyTightyRightyLoosy (talk) 04:08, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Vowsh" is a meme in his community, commonly used to deride people mispronouncing his name. It is pronounced "Vawsh". — Tha†emoover†here (talk) 14:36, 16 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Calling Sargon of Akkad Alt-Right

I’m actually not a fan of Carl Benjamin but I don’t think it’s accurate to call him alt-right. And notably Benjamin’s own page just calls him far right rather than alt-right. Wouldn’t that be a better phrase to use for Vaush’s debate against him than alt-right? 198.200.115.29 (talk) 19:05, 10 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Both sources do mention far-right so I made the change. Alduin2000 (talk) 21:53, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox photo

Current photo (2022)
Alternative A (2021)

I'm not terribly enthused about the current image; Vaush appears to be looking away from the camera and it's not a very good photo of him (though it's fairly sharp). There's an alternative on Commons (alternative A), and I found three videos (vid 1, vid 2, vid 3) from Modern Day Debate that appear to have valid CC licenses (and so we could take screenshots from). I'd prefer to get a reasonable quality photo of Vaush where he's looking at the camera, so I figure opening a discussion here may be helpful in terms of getting those screenshots and brainstorming. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 15:29, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

While it provides a more frontal view of his face, the photo is still pretty low-resolution compared to the other. EytanMelech (talk) 22:18, 15 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

artistry

ian is a competent artist for example he designed his own channel logo, should this be listed in "personal life"? Phoub327 (talk) 03:37, 19 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accusations of Online and Sexual Harassment

Online streamer Ian Kochinski ‘Vaush’, has been accused of both online and sexual harassment by a woman who went by the alias ‘Poppy’. The scandal started in 2017 when Vaush sent allegedly unwanted sexually implicit images to her on the gaming social media platform discord. After going public, Vaush started an online campaign in his community to find ways to "scare her into shutting up”, and repeatably made unsubstantiated claims of a continued sexual relationship between the two.

The person who compiled the document (BadEmpandana) is not a reliable source, at all. Zorya's Leshak▲ (-10.0) 02:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If this gets picked up by reliable sources then we can cover it but we can't go digging ourselves. This is an encyclopaedia not a true crime podcast. DanielRigal (talk) 02:08, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
