Ruben Sim, a popular YouTuber who is known for Roblox gaming and his critic videos, has sparked significant online backlash. The criticism began after his deliberate attempt to deflect the blame for a driving mishap onto his Twitter followers. As he claimed, the online interactions (as he checked his phone while driving) caused him to crash. The excuse, though, drew widespread condemnation and brought blunt safety reminders from the audience and more. The entire incident even sparked widespread criticism, with the online community refusing to accept his excuse.
The explicit admission coming from Sim clearly blamed his audience for his stress. As per his comments, stress led him to use the phone while he was driving, and it caused a subsequent crash. The entire blame game became a focal point of some intense criticism received by the YouTuber. A user bluntly replied, "Maybe don't use your phone while driving?"
Sim’s attempt to shift responsibility backfired quite spectacularly. Instead of gaining sympathy, the core issue that his fans seized upon was his own dangerous action, making active use of a phone while he was operating a vehicle. The fundamental message echoing across many X user comments was crystal clear—distracted driving was the problem and not the Twitter mentions. Fans even went ahead to demand personal accountability from Sim for his reckless behaviour.
Starting from basic safety and law in question, a user flatly commented, "I mean.. you’re not suppose to check your phone when you drive.., it’s a literal law."
Echoing on it, another commented, "DONT BE IN YOUR PHONE WHILE DRIVING THEN."
"Pay attention to the road cro," wrote the third.
Moving on, there were also some comments about personal responsibility. A user arguably stated, "I mean…it’s your own fault? You were looking at your phone, numbnuts."
While the other questioned, "f*ck this gotta do with us?
," trying to reject shifting blame.
"Stay off your phone next time brosquito," advised a user briefly.
Questioning of the narrative, there was also high skepticism amongst fans. "He could literally just uninstall Twitter if it's stressing him out. Also why's he on the phone while driving? This feels like non-issue..." pondered a user, suggesting Sim’s emotional dysregulation.
Others, though, were quite direct and they didn’t back out from pointing, "damn same thing happened to me too, crazy how much of a coincidence it is," and hinted at some potential fabrication going on.
"People gonna take this seriously lmao," another comment read, mocking Sim.
A separate account further accused Sim, implying the reuse of the imagery. The comment read, "Ruben sim posting the same photo of this wrecked nissan for the 500th time," accused a separate account, implying reused imagery.
But wait, the followers and critics didn’t stop there. One even went ahead and compared Sim to Pirate Software. This was definitely a notable turn, with the comment reading, "Have a feeling that Ruben Sim might be the 2nd Pirate Software," ensuring to link Sim with other controversial figures in online drama. The comparison did underscore the negative perception’s entire depth that Sim was facing.
The attempt made by Ruben to blame online stress for the crash, which was actually caused by his own distracted driving, badly misfired on him. The fan responses remained overwhelming. All of them served as a reminder of road safety’s importance and one’s responsibility, when driving, too.
As for Ruben, whether or not this backlash prompts him to rethink his online behaviour, it remains to be seen. After all, the online community is just not ready to accept his excuses and has made it clear, Twitter stress excuse will not cut it.
