Hey guys just to CLARIFY, I did not say that SNDK made the Fire Fairy image, I said “I don’t think he did” and he most likely could’ve found it online and brought attention to it especially with how big his platform is. I said that he possibly could’ve made sarcastic remarks about it (according to people on Reddit who translated his video) not necessarily egging children on to do what the “game” said, but like mentioned, because he’s a big Russian YouTuber and because it was regarding a kids show and a popular search term by children, children could’ve stumbled upon his video and saw the image and  (not knowing it was sarcasm) possibly could’ve attempted the game.
I AM NOT blaming him for the game or anything regarding the incidents

If my memory serves me correctly in the 4kids dub of Miss Magix the black girl with the Afro was actually crying because she made a mistake in a spell to make a decision, instead of saying “choice” she said “voice” and her voice went high pitched and squeaky.

I don't know how it is in the English version of the episode "Miss Magix", but in the German version her hair was not "just" made into an afro, but more importantly the hair had the consistency of jelly after the bewitchment. The girl wasn't upset about her hair turning into an afro, but that her hair felt and moved like jelly.
That's why I never understood why so many people were upset about this... For me, having jelly hair was a legitimate reason to be upset.

The Miss Magix episode really did upset me as a kid. I was already insecure about my coils, but seeing it on TV honestly made me want to just straighten my hair for it to look "long" even more. Like I remember watching that episode and not knowing what exactly was wrong, but I knew that something about that scene was odd. I think the most triggering part for me now is the part where Bloom touched her hair and made it "bounce", which was even more wrong than I remember lol.

It's funny that the the 4kids dub was pulled for being too unfaithful, but it was also the only dub I know of that recognized how damaging that Miss Magix scene was and changed it so her voice was spelled to be squeaky instead. Sometimes being unfaithful to the source material is a good thing.

I can sorta understand why the Winx Club YouTube channel took the "Miss Magix" episode off YouTube. They realized something could have gotten them in trouble, and they took it down no problem. I can respect it. Back when it aired, I could also see why no controversy took place.

Also, what messed up person decided to make a fake Winx "game", where you basically try to light your house on fire? I'm guessing it was made as a joke and some kids took it way too seriously, but still?!

Wow, never heard of that "fire fairy game" before, but that sounds exactly like the kind of awful thing to get out of hand on the internet. I'm kind of curious as to what the more pink fairy shown on that image is- a fan transformation, I guess?

10:23 - I always found it disgusting that the entire storyline surrounding the Trix bullying Lucy for her looks and then humiliating her at the pageant was considered completely fine, but the afro scene was "going too far".  Like, the entire episode is about shaming people who don't fit a narrow definition of "pretty", not just that tiny clip.  Granted, Lucy is a witch (whom the writers seem to hate), so that probably had something to do with the episode being untouched for so long.

I am a fan of SNDK videos and a Russian myself. Those Winx Club videos are sarcastic. As he stated, every possible way of "becoming a fairy" was found on the Internet. So a kid could have misunderstood it or an adult hadn't monitored the videos kids had been watching as the video stated that it was not for the kids audience. And SNDK isn't known for trolling people, so it would be pretty strange for him to troll kids with killing methods

I know about the "Fire Fairy Game" because my mum kept going on about it when I was watching WinX. It's a nasty and horrible thing for anyone to do and idk why (if SNDK made it) SNDK made such a stupid thing. Nevertheless, it unfortunately exists and has cause irreparable trauma to young children and that's the worst part about it. Thank god nobody died from it though. That's the only positive in that Fire Fairy Game

Edit: y’all dragging me and the video creator for not knowing Russian is stupid. Like literally. All you had to do was say “hey SNDK wasn’t the one who made it!” Why the dragging? Lmfao I even literally said IF. I never said he definitively did it.

in miss magix as well as the hair scene, lucy being called ugly made me really sad. i have the same nose type as her if it was handled in a non-comedic way that seriously addressed the beauty standard and self confidence, i would have liked that. i can't remember if lucy's condifence about her appearance gets developed later on, but i hate how that episode treated her like she really was ugly

4kids is really genius about the "Miss Magix" episode. I loved that they changed her "curse" to her voice being squeaky instead of her hair being an afro as her "curse" or a "bad thing".

SNDK was making review of ways children writing about becoming fairy on the internet. It was comedic video and he made it clear that this is bad idea to put up gas in your house. So thats clearly not his fault. Before this video he was releasing "reviews" on dumb advertisement so everybody knew that things he was showing is meant to be funny and shouldnt be bought or done irl

Okay but like… who the hell came up with this dangerous game? You could’ve written down a sweet little fairy mantra like a poem that they could put under their pillow or something…🤨

What many people tend to forget about Winx Club is that it's an italian cartoon, not american. Racism isn't a big thing in Europe and that's why the writers didn't really think if they should kill off an indian coded character like Nabu or make fun of a black person. I don't say that just because a character is black they should lose their loved ones like Aisha, but people have to remember that things relevant in US aren't relevant in Europe.

Okay, so I'm from Russia, and this is so surrealistic to see a youtuber from other country who's talking about our local winx controversy, haha
So!
About Sndk. I was around when he just released all his winx club videos! Yep, there's not only one. Basically he reviewed all these ridiculous ways to become a fairy in his sarcastic and entertaining way. And I don't remember it very well but I think he specifically said not to try any of that! So he definitely wasn't the reason why this girl got hurt.
But you know who was? People who came up with this in the first place! In his videos Sndk showed how administration of one forum/site dedicated to "becoming fairy" replied to children in the spirit of "yeah, try this weird stuff, you will surely become a real fairy!!".
I honestly have no idea why and how this happened, maybe it was just a bunch of internet trolls who wanted to make fun of kids, but.. It's really sad that actual people got hurt in the process.. And yeah, this wasn't a "game" or "challenge", they claimed this to be real, of course some five year old child would believe that!
My speech is over, haha! Hope my english wasn't too clumsy, trust me, I tried my best :D

About sndk. He made three parts about it to make fun of those "become a fairy irl" tutorials on internet. He isn't making children to participate in this games

As a person from India who really saw the pogo / CN dub and want it back so bad , I really feel the major missing of the Hindi pogo/CN dub

I didn't know about the miss magix episode up until recently. I was used to the 4kids episode version which had made the girl say something wrong to make her voice sound better.

I remember having a DVD of the Winx Club that served as my introduction for the series. In that DVD, was the episode, Miss Magix. The big difference was that the girl got a spell wrong and her voice became much higher pitched and ran away because of it. The only thing the Trix seemed to have done was make fun of her by calling her a rooster which made her cry more. I never liked the new dubs because they were so confusing and didn’t sound natural.
