Beckii Cruel’s 15 Minutes of Fame
Some of you may remember a certain Youtube girl by the name of Magibon which swept otaku communities by storm with her big eyes and love of Japan two years ago. Sadly, her less than attractive looks in real life were revealed on Japanese tv sometime later and her time in the limelight was up. The shock from seeing Magibon’s true form may have stopped some people from watching Youtube girls, but apparently not for long.
With Magibon out of the picture, otaku needed a new white girl to idolize; that’s where Beckii Cruel comes in. Beckii is a teen from the UK who also loves Japan, but instead of uploading videos of her looking into the camera, she came to fame by dancing. You can see her Youtube videos here if you’re interested. Being relatively cute and liked by otaku from all over the interwebs, it was only a matter of time before she made her way to Japan like Magibon did. Beckii has even managed to ink a deal to have a DVD made (titled “This is Beckii Cruel”), and I got some screenshots below.
