A community for Roblox, the free game building platform. This community is unofficial and is not endorsed, monitored, or run by Roblox staff.
I might get hated for this, or death threats, or even banned from this subreddit (aka me being scared of posting this for fear of getting attacked), but I think that this is important to point out because this has been stuck on my mind for so long. PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS ALBERT'S FAULT EXPLICITLY, I'M TALKING ABOUT HIS TEAM IN GENERAL. I've been watching Flamingo for a long time, even during his AlbertsStuff days, and I've noticed some issues that have popped up, though seldom, I think it's still important to talk about.
Through some of his videos, such as his ROBLOX BREAK IN... video. Near the end, you see the user "crazysalinas", who chose to save herself over Albert despite his efforts to save their health. After the video, she had so many hate accounts made on her, and it got to the point where she became inactive for over 5 months as of December 2020 and abandoned all of her friends. Some people might make the argument that "Oh, but she didn't help Albert even though he helped her", I don't feel like that justifies an entire mob coming at this person, and judging by her profile, I think she is very young, and because of this you can't expect a kid to have the same, developed morals as a 23-24 year-old, and the same logic can be applied to flamingo’s fanbase, they’re too young to understand what they’re doing, and they’re just following what they think they should be doing based on their idol.
In another example, there is this other video,I ruined this Roblox restaurant, he was trolling in this group's game place where he started to spam waters to this one customer, and got warned many times and got berated by this admin, AbbyClxire. After this video, she had 13+ pages of hate accounts made on her, all the way from calling her a Karen to just "fat". There's no doubt that Flamingo is obviously trolling and got rightfully warned for it, as he wasn't just giving this customer one cup of water without being asked to, instead, several glasses of water. However the same argument from the first one can be applied here: Kids can't be expected to have the same developed mindset as an adult, so they will follow the idol they look up to like theirs.
In conclusion, it's important to say this: The actions of Flamingo's young fans are not the fault of Flamingo, however, better precautions need to be taken, such as blurring the usernames in question to prevent any attacks on them, as you never know who is behind the screen, whether it's an adult or a young kid enjoying ROBLOX, so you can't really know what effect these attacks made on them will have, and you can't blame Flamingo's young fanbase entirely- though a good portion of the blame lies on them. And lastly, this could totally NOT be Albert's fault, as throughout those times I noticed he never verbally said those player's usernames, so this could totally be on the editors/his team.
P.S I’m not going to stop watching Flamingo just because of this, I really do think he has good intentions and he is a really funny dude, and for me personally, he distracts me from life’s stressors.
tl;dr Though it's not Flamingo's fault that his young fans attack certain users in his videos, Flamingo's team could take way better precautions to prevent attacks on the people he makes videos on.
edit #1: there is one more relatively recent example, from Dec. 1 in his video We were so small Roblox murderers couldn’t find us , and if you search up 22xDark from the player list at around 6:23. (Not defending this player for literally teaming up with the entire server in murder mystery against Albert and Temprist though)

Loss of income
He's the Dream of Roblox (With Koneko being the calmer yet as popular Technoblade), he can live.
Elaborate please
Denis is old school
Albert is the new popular guy... or is it Koneko? Both have very large fan bases.
Also, not every fan of someone lack common sense.
wait how is Albert new
You'd be surprised.
Albert isn’t new. He simply migrated channels.
69 upvotes, nice
Haha funni number
The older side of roblox gets toxic sometimes to be honest
his editors need to blur out every username at this point
they shouldn't have to in the first place, but sadly some people in his community think that it is okay to harass people over jokes.
The fact that DEATH THREATS are being sent over stupid things like this is absolutely disgusting and I'm glad people are calling Flamingo's community out for it (no hate to the man himself of course, even if I don't watch him).
Albert is good man, his stans are not good children.
Totally agree with you, I love Albert, but his fans are so annoying.
I disagree, not all of them are bad. It’s just few rotten apples who don’t understand roblox is just a game. They take it too seriously and end up with making these hat accounts for no “real” reason
It's not just a few of them, at least 1 third of his fans are children who think they are doing a good thing by hating on the people in flamingo's videos
Be a fan not a stan - Sun tzu the art of war
I agree with ya as well and it's basically a jojo roblox game, the game itself is good, it's the godamn community that sucks and ruins the game. Which sums up Flamingo's channel, content is funny and good, community absolutely ruins it.
Good person, horrid fanbase
Huh
Last time I remember the fanbase being toxic is following along with a joke (Junk Bot joke)
I have another problem with him. Junkbots. Need I say more? I go to a random game, lets say epic minigames, only to see 1 or 2 junkbots spamming "OIL OR BOIL" or "GIVE OIL". Luckily, flamingo has ended junkbot week, causing this problem to happen less. He's a great guy, but his younger fans can really be annoying
the spamming is fine ngl its just harmless children but the death threats are really bad
The spamming is something Albert would do himself. Not the threats though.
spamming can get annoying, but just turn off your chat or block the junkbots because if you directly tell them to stop, they think that they're funny and do it more.
i find it funny to think of that scenario realistically.
a man goes to a restaurant, and gets a bunch of glasses of water he didn't ask for. the waiter then tries to stop it, and all of a sudden after a few hours over 234 people barrage her with insults and harrasment.
i mean they give one water in real life, but 50 water per second then yea it's dumb to then have hate

And they always use dead flamingo memes, but people who are smart no longer find them funny but just cringe

Oh jesus christ. I never knew about this. We need to spread the word right frickin now
yeye, I agree with you. But I think this team are taking more precautions now. I see every username being blurred if Albert said something to them.
like the hacker in this video: https://youtu.be/ORajctOXvTM
Yea I see that I dont even look at the names so I didnt notice until now
yeah... well from the new videos I have seen his team has been blurring out more stuff.
Sadly this makes the viewing entertainment a bit lower since so many blurred spots. But its just for the betterment for those people and flamingo himself and his team
likely throwaway acc given his appearance tho.
oh yea it definitely is
Well you never know maybe they just don’t bother with char design
yea, i feel like his team could do more though, just a few hours ago someone who he was [kinda] making fun of didn't have their name blurred
Albert is a really nice guy himself, but the fan base is just overrun with chill-spamming children. But then again I feel like there are a select amount of people with actual brains who know not to act like the majority of the fan base.
Yea i'm a VERY big fan of him but i don't act out like his other fans that harass people. And i wont stop watching him just because his fans. (Someone told me to stop watching him because his fans act like this and they say that "He WIll CoRRuPt You")
I think a bigger issue is him getting political in his newer videos.
what. him literally making some jokes based on political memes isn't a problem.
For a guy who doesn't want to say "Hell" because its too mature for his audience, he talks about a lot of matters which really don't belong, no matter what age the viewer is. I watch him because he's funny (most of the time); I don't care to know where he stands politically.
he does that as a joke, you can tell because he said hell many times
I stand by my original statement. Albert is a great entertainer, and I want to know nothing about his political stance.
He never mentioned his political stance, only a few jokes about trump here and there.
Pinkleaf fans : *spams PiNkLeAf Is ThE bEsT in every toh server*
(younger) flamingo fans : *attacks people who attack flamingo*
well, we're screwed.
also very well structured comment
and it would be different if it was true, pinkleaf is far from the best player and/or youtuber
i cannot agree more, like, the obbies he beat are either raw easy difficulty and just long as hecc or artificial difficulty with a gazillion instakills.
I'm a younger flamingo fan and I dont attack people who attack him so not all do
I love albert with all my heart, but whenever I see someone with a realistic head and the flamingo bird/felipe hat I run away as fast as I can. They are the worst.
its good to be a fan, but not THAT kind of fan. you can still dress normally and watch flamingo you dont have to go around being a troll, if they have enough robux to buy those then why not just wear the merch in a normal outfit? i dont get it ;w;
i dont find it that way. they are pretty nice people, at least from my experience. also, the realistic head isnt even a meme in his community. it was made my a modeler in the dev forums (i remember seeing it even before the ugc upload), who got it uploaded to ugc.
Really? Most of the time they’re pretty toxic and annoying for me. I included the realistic head because even though it isn’t a meme, a lot of fans use it
Well, That is very true.
very brave of u to do it. Its good to blame the community instead of yt, Username also gets a lot of hate just because of his fanbase, its good but even he made friendships with salads but still.... Its not usernames fault though.
I watch him and I dont hate anyone who donsent help him. I dont understand why people do that im guessing by doing this imthey think flamingo will notice and like them
well
when it comes to flamingo ruining a restaurant
it went totally wrong
he RUINED the greatest one
and now there are so many trollers
playing like a jerk in the restaurant
p.s. the restaurant name is Kohaú
If you make a restaurant in roblox, knowing that there are going to be trollers, and then complain about it, it's your fault. Although Albert's team should've blurred the usernames of the staff.
Flamingo fans suck. He should start censoring names but he should also start being funny again. He used to be funny in like 2015-2016 now he’s just another pandering child-friendly YouTuber.
He did, he's new vids, he's blurring usernames
Oh, I just assumed he didn’t because of this post. Good for him.
You're definitely right. I'm a fan of Flamingo too, but there are some fans that are just annoying and send hate to literally anyone that decides to mess with him as a joke. Albert needs to talk to his fans about this.
I think Albert is a good guy and he’s pretty funny to watch, but his community takes stuff way to seriously.
👏 you sir are the second coming of Christ
The Albert fandom is terrible, you can’t change my mind
you are mentioning a big community, i would say a portion is terrible
A large portion, that is
Yes! My favorite community (myths) has been poisoned by lazy flamingo fanboys that want to get in a video!
@flamingo's editors: picture in picture gaussian blur over the names please
i enjoy watching albert's videos but i HATE his fanbase.
I like to play and take roblox SERIOUSLY and its hard to do that when you have a bunch of people joining as minions or spamming things flamingo has said. his influence has definitly ruined a few RP games for me.
with that said, albert is one of the most entertaining roblox youtubers
I like Flamingo. He's a good YT He's hillarious (especiallly when he screams. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!)
But people getting death threats about being in his videos...?
I read the "Roblox Break in" paragraph and this is just not right to do to a person. I feel like even though its a video game, it can still have a lot of a mental effect on a person, especially because she probably doesn't know where the hate is coming from.
isnt that a problem of the fanbase being crap? i mean he censors the usernames now
not always, i think he is realizing it tho because he is directly telling paige and adam to censor usernames
hence the "now" in my comment
Honestly i never realized how flamingo is just like dream
how is that related? not to be mean but did i miss something OP said?
They're both nice people and make good videos (imo)
But their fanbases are both very toxic making them seem like they're both bad
oh i see, my bad :)
i totally agree
I was gonna say something like this (flamingos a good youtuber but his community sucks) but I didn’t really want to deal with 100’s of comments arguing with me, I’m glad you did it for me because now I can also bring in my opinions like everyone in the comments are doing
every yt's fanbase is like this tbh, some are a bit more... apparent about it, like dream stans or the people you talk about in this post. pretty much the only way of stopping this is by the youtuber themself disowning them.
Quite honestly I agree with you.
Wait what people actually do this!?!?
They do, and it’s disgusting.
That is disgusting now i get why albert censors usernames now
I couldnt agree more
Flamingo's fanbase is truly disgusting, but he is the only one who can stop it, and he doesn't
he has been tryign recently
I think albert has started to blurr out the names of the people.
I think blurring out usernames makes sense in his videos. For those who don’t know about Flamingo, he has people hired to work on his YouTube channel. I believe that it is important to blur out usernames because I think that it will help protect the identity of players in real life. You never know who is playing Roblox. It can be anyone. I think it is a good thing that Flamingo never calls out usernames verbally or digitally, and that is a good thing! I should mention that for those under 13, Roblox has a thing called “safe chat”, which means that the chat is filtered. One thing to point out is that they censor numbers to kids because Roblox doesn’t want kids giving out their age, phone number, home address, and so on. I will always be a fan of Flamingo despite this post.
I watched one video from a week ago, the names were blurred out.
What video is it?
Its sad that a lot of good things/people have a loud toxic minority in their fanbase that make the entire community look bad. But then again, people outside the community are the same. You say you watch flamingo and then you get called toxic for no reason.
Literally most stans are bad they are poo poo
this thing kinda seems as familiar as dream stans or undertale diehards in their toxic ages
