Sometimes, YouTube doesn’t feel fair. Big channels get the spotlight, small creators hustle just to be noticed. But every now and then, a story pops up that reminds us why the “little guy vs. big guy” fight can really matter. That’s exactly what’s happening right now with Inkslasher—a gaming YouTuber with over a million subscribers—who’s being accused of stealing content from a much smaller creator. And this time, things are headed to court.

What Happened?

Here’s the short version:

• Inkslasher runs a channel with 1M+ subscribers. He’s known for gaming videos—breakdowns, deep dives, stuff about popular games.
• EvenBadWolvesGaming is a much smaller channel. Just over 10,000 subscribers. She specializes in narrative-driven gaming videos.
• She says Inkslasher blatantly lifted her Dying Light video. And that he’s copied other small channels, too.

This isn’t just about inspiration or using the same footage. The claim is that her video was straight-up copied—structure, ideas, maybe even lines.

The Copyright Fight

Here’s how it escalated:

1. EvenBadWolvesGaming filed a copyright claim. That’s the standard move when you think someone’s stolen your work on YouTube.
2. Inkslasher countered the claim. This is how creators defend themselves if they believe their use is “fair” or not a direct copy.
3. So, she’s suing. That’s not something you see every day, especially from a small creator against a much, much bigger one.

It’s a huge step. Most creators would just let it go, or take the loss. Lawsuits cost money and time. But she’s decided it’s worth it.

Why This Matters

The big picture isn’t just about Inkslasher and EvenBadWolvesGaming. It’s about all creators—especially smaller ones—trying to protect their work when YouTube’s system doesn’t always help.

• Big creators can push back easily. They have resources, lawyers, and a big audience.
• Small creators risk being drowned out, ignored, or even retaliated against.

The outcome here could set an example. If she wins, it shows that small creators can stand up for themselves—and maybe it makes bigger channels think twice before copying lesser-known work.

What Makes This Interesting

• Rare to see a lawsuit: Most YouTube copyright fights end with DMCA notices or a back-and-forth in the YouTube system—not in a courtroom.
• High stakes for both: If EvenBadWolvesGaming wins, it’ll be a big win for small creators everywhere. If not, the message could be: “It’s not worth fighting back.”

Honestly, I’m rooting for her. These fights are always David vs. Goliath-style, and even getting to this stage is no small thing.

Who’s EvenBadWolvesGaming?

If you like gaming content that goes into story, themes, and narrative—her channel’s worth checking out. She puts a lot into each video.

The Takeaway

YouTube drama is usually just that—drama. But every once in a while, it hits on real issues about plagiarism, copyright, and fairness between creators. No matter the outcome, this case could shake up how copyright disputes play out on the platform.

If you’re a creator yourself, it’s a good reminder: protect your work, and don’t be afraid to push back. You never know—you might actually make a difference.
