Popular YouTuber Ms. Rachel Faces Backlash Over ‘Pride Month’ Video
In a recent video, popular YouTuber “Ms. Rachel” faced criticism for celebrating Pride Month and alienating conservative viewers. With a substantial following of 10 million subscribers, the content creator’s choice to address mature themes with a young audience sparked controversy, drawing attention from various commentators and social media accounts. The incident underscores the impact of content exposure on young viewers and the importance of mindful content curation for impressionable audiences.

Oh, “pride month,” the progressives’ time for people to talk about something they really shouldn’t be talking about.
A perfect example would be “Ms. Rachel,” the wildly popular YouTuber whose account is geared toward teaching videos for babies and toddlers.
On Saturday, the woman behind “Ms. Rachel ” — 41-year-old Rachel Accurso — used her TikTok account, “MsRachelforLittles,” to post a video celebrating the beginning of “pride month” — and inviting conservatives never to watch her again.

“Happy pride to all of our wonderful family and friends,” Accurso said in the video, wearing a rainbow blouse and green jumper more suited to a little girl than a grown woman.
“This month and every month I celebrate you. I’m so glad you’re here. I’m so glad you’re exactly who you are.”
And then came the kicker:
“To those who are going to comment they can’t watch the show anymore because of this support, no worries and much love your way. God bless,” she said. “I am not chasing fame or views. I’m standing strong in love.”
Do your kids listen to Ms. Rachel?
Of course, the video hasn’t gone unnoticed, as countless individuals have come to call out the content creator for discussing more adult topics with her extremely young audience.
Accurso’s YouTube channel boasts 10 million subscribers and operates on several other platforms such as TikTok and Instagram.
Her content is aimed toward a quite young audience, typically centering around learning different topics like how to read, sing, or whatever other topic she’s decided to cover.
Her videos amass huge numbers of views, ranging between 30 million on the low end and up to nearly a billion.
With such a large and impressionable audience, it’s crucial for Accurso to be extremely careful with what she decides to cover.
And that’s where the criticism against this content creator comes from.
“Ms. Rachel is an extremely popular YouTuber who makes content for babies and toddlers. She just posted a video celebrating Pride Month,” The Daily Wire’s Matt Walsh posted on X.
“This is a message to conservatives parents. She doesn’t want your business. You should respond accordingly.”

Other accounts on X also weighed in on the matter.
Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec and the Libs of Tiktok account shared the video, warning its millions of followers about the supposedly kid-friendly channel’s message.
Doing my part to spread awareness so parents know what Ms. Rachel stands for!
She says she doesn’t want your business if you don’t subscribe to the child m*tiIat*on cult.
Pass it on! https://t.co/VICIlV1EWI

While perhaps some moderates and definitely liberals will attempt to claim that simply acknowledging “pride month” doesn’t affect the children watching Ms. Rachel, they fail to understand how massive an impact that constant exposure to this content from an early age can have on kids.
Children do not need to know about sex and sexuality and discussing “pride month” will undoubtedly begin to get them down the rabbit hole.
Children, especially toddlers and babies, do not need this stuff in their lives.
Keep it away from the kids, plain and simple.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
The Western Journal
