Most videos in this category are produced either with live action or inexpensive Flash animation, although a few channels use more elaborate techniques, such as claymation or computer-generated imagery.
However, the Elsagate controversy has also included channels, such as Toy Freaks, which featured or focused on real children instead of fictional characters, raising concern about possible child abuse. The term itself is a portmanteau of Disney's Elsa of Arendelle-known for frequently appearing in such videos-and "-gate", a suffix for scandals. These videos often feature fictional characters from family-oriented media, sometimes via crossovers, used without legal permission. Most videos under this classification are notable for presenting content including graphic violence, sexual situations, fetishes, obscene language, drugs, alcohol, nudity, injections, disease, off-color humor, dangerous or upsetting situations and activities. Examples of the situations featured in such videos can be seen above, such as injections, mutilation, childbirth, urination, fellatio, and chemical burning.Įlsagate is a neologism referring to the controversy surrounding videos on YouTube and YouTube Kids that are categorized as "child-friendly", but which contain themes that are deemed inappropriate for young children. Thumbnails of Elsagate content are often represented by recognizable, family-friendly characters performing child-inappropriate or otherwise disturbing actions, either through explicit depiction or implication.
