Who is Moistcr1tikal?

Charles White Jr., better known by as his online aliases Cr1tikal and penguinz0, is a YouTuber and Twitch streamer. He posts a wide variety of videos on his YouTube channel, from gaming content to commentary on Internet culture, recent events, video games, and others. He’s also one of the most popular Twitch streamers and also among its highest earners in the past few years, according to a leak that surfaced in 2021. We’ll get into that and more later.

Is Cr1TiKaL the same person as Penguinz0?

Yes. Cr1tikal has always been Charlie’s online alias especially when streaming games, even when he was uploading his first videos on YouTube. He named his channel Penguinz0 because he likes penguins.

Early Days on YouTube

Charlie was already creating content on YouTube back when the platform wasn’t much of a big deal compared to the giant it has become today. In those days, YouTube was relatively new, and gamers looking for guides would usually head over to forums and blogs to find the answers. Video game streaming wasn’t a thing, and people aren’t used to seeing YouTubers create content in this niche.

Enter Charlie, a then 13-year-old teenager who uploaded a Gears of War clip featuring a jetpack glitch. Although that video didn’t gain much traction at that time, Charlie continued to upload content on the same channel.

However, his channel started to gain ground after he uploaded the video titled “The Most Difficult Game Ever Created Gameplay and Commentary” which became viral on the internet.

The Steady Rise of His YouTube Channel

Ray William Johnson, one of the most popular YouTubers in that era, picked up his commentary video on QWOP and featured it in a video called “GOOFY RUN – 2010”. His viewership and subscriber count exploded after this. In his 2020 “Decade Review” video, Charlie credited this as the turning point of his YouTube career.

Charlie recounted that prior to this time, most of the videos he uploaded were Battlefield: Bad Company and Modern Warfare gameplay. However, this event made him realize the possibilities of creating content on the internet, and thus he continued uploading videos on his YouTube channel.

Since then, Charlie created a random variety of content, most of which were categorized into a series. Some of his most popular ones were The Real Series, Cooking Series, Funtage, Moistmeter, and Slapping Series.

It wasn’t until August 27, 2014, some 7 years into his content making, when penguinz0 reached its first million subscribers. Even though he lost a million subscribers due to a YouTube glitch, he bounced back to 2 million in 2018 which continued on to 10.5 million as of May 2022.

Branching Out to Twitch

Over the years, Charlie’s content has evolved. He doesn’t only post gameplay and commentary videos on YouTube, but he also does music, voiceovers, acting, and a lot more.

In 2018, Charlie started streaming on his Twitch channel, MoistCr1TiKal. He became more popular due to his Twitch streams, most specifically the chess and Among Us tournaments with other famous streamers such as Nigahiga, Pokimane, Sykkuno, and Disguised Toast. The clip where he won against xQc in a chess match in just six moves became one of the most-viewed in Twitch history.

Controversies

Charlie’s career on the internet, especially with regard to his YouTube channel, wasn’t smooth sailing all the time. There were instances when he became entangled in controversies with other YouTubers, including his feuds with MaximillianMus, Vegan Gains, NikocadoAvocado, and DarkViperAU. His channel also faced copyright strikes from YouTube, time and again, but the platform, later on, reversed it in favor of Cr1tikal.

Despite these, Charlie continued to create content as he had always been in the last 15 years.

Personal Life

Charles White Jr. was born on August 2, 1994, in Tampa, Florida. Charlie mentioned in his “Decade Review” video that he once dreamed of making it to the NBA and he was part of his school varsity team in high school. However, he then realized that being just 5’6″, that may never gonna happen.

Charlie had low self-esteem as a teenager, just like what he says in some of his streams. For 8 years, Charlie hid his face from the public. He mentioned his struggles with OCD. He also had a pneumothorax on his left lung, which caused it to collapse three times. In 2011, he underwent surgery to repair the injury.

However, as time went by, he later on gained confidence with the help of his friends who taught him how to socialize.

In 2016, he started dating Tiana Tracy, and the couple has been together since then.

That didn’t stop him from donating money to a good cause, such as in April 29, 2021 when he hosted a charity event on his Twitch channel to raise money for Cure Rare Disease.
