Delphine", was a minute-long clip which featured "a cat ear-clad Delphine eating a picture of YouTuber [20] [15][24] PewDiePie, winking throughout."

International Business Times wrote for The Guardian, reported that the sale was "widely mocked". "while some people were amused by the idea of buying someone's bathwater, others have said that [30]

Patricia Hernandez of anyone who bought the GamerGirl Bath Water was 'sad' and 'pathetic'". Polygon commented "Perhaps this seems like a strange thing to do, but it's very similar to the phenomenon of sex workers selling intimate items, such as panties". Hernandez additionally opined "What's curious about Delphine's side hustle here is that it seems to be a mixture of business and next-level performance art. In the video advertising the bath water, she outright calls this a stunt. And if [28]

you look at her wider Instagram oeuvre, Delphine's work is defined by her willingness to go there."

In a July 2019 interview with The Guardian, Delphine stated "I'm lucky. I can do crazy things and get to see the world react to it, and there's definitely enjoyment in that, even if it's sometimes a little scary. I get a bigger [33]

She reaction to my weirder content but I think that's only possible because I also make risqué content". added "I think it's been amazing and fun, but it's time to move on to new things. I have a diary next to my bed full of crazy ideas. I'm not sure what will top this, but I'm looking forward to seeing what will come next".

[8]

Polygon noted that "at least one man" spent $2,500 in exchange for a personal Skype

conversation with Delphine.

[28]

In late August, Delphine became inactive on her social media platforms,

[39]

making many Patreon supporters believe they were being scammed out of previously promised [39][40]

upcoming content.

On 7 October 2019, Delphine tweeted an image of mugshot of herself, with a caption detailing that she was [39]

arrested.

The image contained a "Metropolitan Police Service" watermark, although there was not any [38][39]

Delphine later stated that external proof of an arrest from the Metropolitan Police or otherwise. someone had stolen her pet hamster at a party and that she vandalised that person's car in retaliation, resulting in her arrest.

[40][41]

[40]

Online publications and users questioned the authenticity of her claims. [42]

Delphine uploaded her fourth YouTube video in November 2019, before taking a break.

Return to social media (2020–present) Transition to OnlyFans and pornographic content In June 2020, Delphine returned to social media with a YouTube music video parodying the song [2][43] "Gooba" by American rapper 6ix9ine. The video also promoted her newly-launched [2][43] [44] Instagram, TikTok, and OnlyFans accounts. She was later banned from TikTok. The Spectator and Business Insider reported that her OnlyFans account draws in over $1.2 million (£1 [6][45] million) per month.

[46]

Her channel had around 1.8 million subscribers and 78 million

[46][48]

The termination drew criticism from both Delphine and general video views prior to its termination. YouTube audiences, who questioned if there was a double standard between mainstream celebrities [47]

and independent content creators like Delphine.

Her channel was shortly reinstated with [49] Around this time, YouTube attributing the termination to "a mistake by the review team." Delphine started posting adult and explicit content on her Twitter account. On 25 December 2020, [6][50] she uploaded homemade hardcore porn featuring her boyfriend to her OnlyFans account. In 2021, Delphine posted images of a staged-kidnapping fantasy shoot, which led to several Twitter users accusing her of promoting rape.

[51]

Delphine defended her post, stating "there is [51]

nothing wrong with enjoying power-play and BDSM where both people are consensual."

Media reception and public image Delphine's persona and content has garnered curiosity and scrutiny from online users and media outlets alike. Various outlets, including Business Insider, The Cut, Kotaku, and Polygon have described her as a "troll", and several instances of her activity [5][8][24][28]

online as "stunts". Many of those outlets also assert that Delphine's often erotic content has a satirical and ironic layer to it.

[11][24][44]

Delphine herself views her modelling as falling into [45]

but in December 2020, when asked on the category of erotica, if she considers her online activity as performance art, Delphine [44]

considerable online media attention.

disputed the idea. Instead, she described her actions as "just jokes," and went on to say she [44]

enjoys "playing" around online, calling the internet "a really fun place to tease and mess around with".

Writing for Vice, Kitty Guo described Delphine's humour as "tongue-in-cheek and deliberately gross[1]

out", and commented that her modelling shots have a "slick glamour". Bishop wrote that Delphine "has successfully tapped into an online subculture by creating content that exists somewhere between Internet pranks and erotic modelling. For many of her followers, Delphine is a personality before she is [33] Alex Galbraith, writing for Complex, commented that her "exceptionally a pornographic model". [12]

Writing for Kotaku, Joshua Rivera weird" stunts "seem to be satirizing the whole idea of sexiness". opined that the overt sexuality in Delphine's content was presented satirically, "given her long list of [24]

On the sexuality found in stunts that all tend to subvert or toy with well-established fetish tropes". her social media posts, James Cook of The Telegraph commented on Delphine being "one of a new breed of mostly young social media celebrities to have found a way to harness obsessive, sexualised internet culture to make huge amounts of money", albeit in a "dubious fashion."

[44]

Her association with an e-girl image has been covered in the media, with publications having cited her as [53][54]

influencing the e-girl aesthetic commonly found on TikTok. Delphine as a "peak self-aware e-girl",

[55]

Kotaku and Business Insider have described

and as a figure that some may point to as "a symbol of the first wave

Her association with a gamer girl image and its tropes has also been acknowledged. of e-girl", respectively. After the success of the GamerGirl Bath Water product, Rivera opined "even the notion of 'gamer girl bath water' plays with all manner of stereotypes about women in games and how some men see [24] them: as mythical unicorns to lust after". Rolling Stones's EJ Dickson described Delphine's posts as being more "bizarre" and "ridiculous", rather than "overtly sexual", and opined that "Such content appears to indicate that Delphine is leaning into — if not overtly parodying — the perception of the ideal girl as a hot, innocent young thing whose desire to play Fortnite is only eclipsed by her desire for nerdy gamer boy dick". [11] Dickson also opined on why Delphine attracts much controversy, writing that:

Delphine markets herself as a 'gamer girl', which engages with a very specific stereotype about women in gaming. In the gaming community, there's a longstanding perception of female gamers as desperate attention-seekers who sexualise themselves to get more views and capitalise on horny dudes' desire for nerdy female counterparts.

[11]

Lela London, writing for The Telegraph, opined that "for women to truly escape gaming's gendered grip, we need to raise more non-fetishised Gamer Girls to the top. Belle Delphine is proof there is still quite a way to [52]

go." Aoife Wilson, Head of Video at Eurogamer has conversely commented positively on Delphine's online persona and content, asserting that "[Delphine] is an incredibly savvy businesswoman. She gained a huge online following through her love of cosplay and her ability to replicate real-life ahegao faces. She's kept that momentum going by engaging with her followers and trying new things, always skirting the line [52]

between sexy and surreal. She absolutely knows her audience".

Delphine's polarising social media presence has also been noted, with the London Evening Standard writing that she "has sparked a flurry of debate online, with fans branding her everything [56] from a master manipulator to a harmful sexist stereotype of gamer girls." Business Insider cited [8]

one fan response in particular, which likened Delphine to a "2019 Andy Warhol". Citing her as "a surrealist troll that became too much for Instagram", Business Insider ranked Delphine 89th on the [57] The list's purpose is to feature the one-hundred "most 2019 edition of its UK Tech 100 list. [57]

interesting, innovative, and influential people shaping the UK tech scene."

Her content's use of themes from Japanese popular culture has also been examined. Dickson wrote that the references to Japanese culture in Delphine's content have sparked criticism, as she has been "accused of racism and cultural appropriation in her cosplay, as well as capitalizing on the eroticisation of young girls".

[11]

Conversely, Japanese adult performer Marica Hase stated "I

see her manga characters as more of an homage and not racist."

[11]

Personal life Delphine has a boyfriend, who often serves as the photographer of her modeling content and chooses to remain anonymous.

[6][44]

He anonymously performed with her in her hardcore porn [6][58]

debut, which was released on her OnlyFans account in December 2020.
