"He's too old for you": James Charles called out for collaboration with Minecraft star TommyInnit

James Charles recently announced that he will be publishing a collaboration with the Minecraft content creator "TommyInnit," and the internet was not happy. The Minecraft community has also voiced its concern.

Beauty influencer James Charles has been on the receiving end of multiple allegations of pedophilia and underage grooming over the past few weeks. Following the allegations by a 16-year-old TikToker, the beauty star issued a statement, but it seems the internet is unwilling to let him off the hook just yet.

James Charles Minecraft collab with minors receives backlash

---

In a recent video uploaded to James Charles' YouTube channel, the beauty star can be seen talking to multiple members of the gaming and Minecraft community. He goes from person to person, asking them to pick out his makeup.

From PewDiePie to Pokimane, the beauty blogger approached every popular streamer on his quest. He then proceeded to talk to 16-year-old Minecraft YouTuber TommyInnit in the video. The interaction led to a lot of backlash since the allegations are still quite fresh in the memory of most people on the internet.

The video seems ill-timed, and Twitter users were having none of it.

Here are a few reactions to the potential collaboration on Twitter:

He’s so desperate and cringe, he interacts with every popular teenager on tik tok and it’s fuckin weird. At this point it almost seems like he’s interacting with younger people as a taunt, like he knows he can get away with it....Which makes it way worse and creepier

I was just saying that... how awkward it was to have him interact with Tommy knowing the shit we know. luckily Tommy is too smart and JC can play the card of "i didn't know his age & he bait me" since everybody knows his age and orientation and Tommy would never "trick bait him"

Tommy is very mature but shouldn’t be blamed for this.James is an adult and after this scandal shouldn’t have even asked.If this vid was filmed before tommy didn’t have to be included.
