Toadette Plush, real name Michelle Reilly (born January 6, 2000) is a Eruowoodian VidSpacer. She started making vlogs and plush videos in 2011, when she was 11 years old, but they did not get very popular until 2013. She never shows her face in her videos, instead using a Toadette plush (hence her username), and in interviews with news outlets about her VidSpace channel, she always wears a hockey mask. Her content currently includes plush videos, vlogs, and Boxread and Carwardine Forums compilation videos, all done in-character. She also has accounts on Boxread (p/realtoadetteplush), Carwardine Forums (u/toadetteplushfromvidspace), and Screenway (@thetoadetteplush); the first two are used to manage the official j/toadetteplush and c/toadetteplush forums, and the last one is mainly used for shitposting and memes. Though she has no official presence on YouTube, Reddit, or Twitter, there are unofficial reupload channels on YouTube, several unofficial subreddits on Reddit, and unofficial Twitter accounts which mainly post VidSpace links and repost her Screenway content.
Controversies[]
Hacking incident[]
On December 3, 2021, her official VidSpace account was hacked by a cryptocurrency scammer impersonating Vitalik Buterin (creator of Ethereum). Several fans sent death threats to the real Vitalik Buterin, and the scammer was eventually doxxed as 32-year-old Sentanese man David Takahashi. Even after the channel was restored the day after, Takahashi was still subject to death threats and abuse, as well as racial and ethnic abuse (such as the term “sender” and calling Sentan “El Kadsre ordered from Wish”), and was eventually killed on December 8 by an IED mail-bomb sent to his home address: his girlfriend was also injured, but his 2 children were at school and were unaffected. Reilly condemned these actions in a blog on December 9th, saying that “crypto-bros suck, and hacking channels sucks, but the guy had a family and a life”.
