  • YouTuber Joeman is facing backlash after his ex-girlfriend accused him of demanding she drive to his home at 4 a.m. to cook him beef noodle soup.
  • The ex-girlfriend stated Joeman linked her willingness to fulfill this request to their relationship's future, questioning the benefit of marriage if she didn't comply.
  • Taiwanese celebrity "Jacky Mom" (้„ญๅฎถ็ด”) criticized Joeman's behavior, suggesting he could have used food delivery services instead and calling his demands "exaggerated."

Taiwanese YouTuber Joeman is under fire following accusations from his ex-girlfriend, beauty creator Xiao Yi, who claims he made unreasonable demands during their relationship. One particularly contentious incident involved Joeman allegedly asking Xiao Yi to drive to his house at 4 a.m. to cook him beef noodle soup.

So the purpose of him looking for someone to marry is so that when he wants to eat something in the middle of the night, someone can cook for him?

โ€” Jacky Mom (้„ญๅฎถ็ด”)Jacky Mom questioned Joeman's motives for marriage after hearing about his alleged demands.

According to reports, Joeman allegedly tied this request to the seriousness of their relationship, questioning the benefits of marriage if she was unwilling to fulfill such demands. Xiao Yi reportedly found this difficult to accept, and the details have since sparked widespread discussion online.

You can just order delivery when you want to eat something in the middle of the night, you know. It's so outrageous for a girlfriend to be PUA'd into driving to cook noodles at 4 a.m.

โ€” Jacky Mom (้„ญๅฎถ็ด”)Jacky Mom criticized Joeman's alleged demand for his girlfriend to cook for him late at night, suggesting modern conveniences were available.

"Jacky Mom" (้„ญๅฎถ็ด”), a well-known figure in Taiwan, publicly condemned Joeman's alleged behavior. She expressed disbelief, stating on social media that he could have simply ordered food delivery at that hour. She described his demands as "exaggerated" and questioned his motives for seeking marriage if his primary concern was having someone cook for him late at night.

If you don't know how to clearly distinguish, then spend effort to understand. And you also don't understand what women's rights are.

โ€” Jacky Mom (้„ญๅฎถ็ด”)Jacky Mom responded to those who questioned her criticism, urging them to educate themselves on relationship dynamics and PUA.

Some online commenters have defended Joeman, arguing that the distinction between manipulation (PUA) and affectionate gestures in a relationship can be blurry, and that actions taken willingly should not be over-analyzed. However, Jacky Mom pushed back against these defenses, urging those who are unsure about PUA tactics to educate themselves and questioning the use of online platforms to promote "distorted values."

Why are you using the internet to display distorted values just because the man didn't lay a hand on you?

โ€” Jacky Mom (้„ญๅฎถ็ด”)Jacky Mom challenged those who downplayed Joeman's alleged behavior, questioning their values.
