Felipe Neto and Whindersson Nunes spoke about the loss of PC Siqueira (19862023) on Wednesday evening (27). Internet users recalled the allegations of pedophilia against the YouTuber, and some even celebrated the death of the 37yearold content creator. Influencers triggered reactions online. “This social network is completely hateful,” explained Luccas Neto’s brother.
PC Siqueira was found dead in his apartment. On the 20th, he made a video in which he vented about the end of a relationship and confessed that his personal life was in crisis. “The depression is back, we are fighting the depression again,” he lamented.
On X, the old Twitter, several Internet users celebrated the YouTuber's death. “Those who defend it did not follow the case or agree with a pedophile,” wrote a user identified as Ana Kamio.
“PC Siqueira died and this year, 2024, things are only going to get better, kids. Joy, joy!” said an internet user named Henrique Pedrosa.
Whindersson Nunes soon addressed the backlash that spread online. “We never believe that one day someone might celebrate our death. May God forgive anyone who celebrates my death, they don’t know what they are doing,” the comedian wrote.
Felipe Neto wrote a post lamenting the YouTuber's death and was subsequently blasted. “My condolences go out to the family and friends of PC Siqueira. He was the big pioneer of YouTube in Brazil in 2010,” he explained.
“His life choices led him to a terrible fate that now has a tragic ending. Strength for the people affected by this loss,” wished Felipe, who had to conclude with another post related to the case.
“This social network is completely sick with hatred and the desire to get likes from it,” complained the influencer.
Allegations of pedophilia
PC Siqueira was accused of pedophilia and storing child pornography in 2020, when he was at the peak of his internet career. The influencer was investigated after an alleged conversation between him and a friend was leaked. As part of the message exchange, he sent an audio recording in which he explained that the mother of a sixyearold girl had sent him content of her own naked daughter.
At the time, Siqueira said he had fallen victim to a “criminal organization” and civil police began investigating the case. Given all the attacks he received online, he decided to deactivate his YouTube channel and lost followers on social media.
In 2021, the General Supervision of the TechnicalScientific Police (SPTC) of the Secretariat of Public Security of the State of São Paulo conducted an investigation into the computer, external hard drive, cell phone, video game console and other electronic devices Siqueira's PC. No evidence was found to incriminate the YouTuber.
O TV news had access to reports from the Criminalistic Institute. The documents described how the YouTuber did not store or share photos or videos containing pornographic content of minors, nor did he have conversations with other people about the topic or search for the topic online.
