| | It's Sunday and here's a handpicked selection of stories to give you a snapshot of trends, updates, business moves, and more from around the creator industry. | But first, Games Done Queer just raised $51,000 for Lambda Legal Fund. This marks the first time Awesome Games Done Quick expanded its speedrunning series with an event specifically for and by queer runners, and the results speak for themselves. | | CREATOR COMMOTION | | Creators are filing lawsuits, fighting for good, and shaking up the sports world | The lawsuit: Mizkif is suing Emiru and Asmongold for defamation amid a bitter OTK feud. The disgraced streamer says that inaccurate assault allegations against him ruined his reputation, and he's suing former colleagues who (according to him) fanned the flames of that rumor. The legal action is one part of the widespread fallout that has occurred after Emiru was assaulted by a fan at TwitchCon. | The commissioner: Jesser will be "honorary commissioner" of the rebooted 2K league. The relationship between the NBA and creators is as strong as ever, which means it's the perfect time to relaunch a video game gauntlet that features the most popular basketball sim. Jesser will make a fine commissioner—and you can bet that this won't be the last you see of him this NBA season. | The advocate: Amid a government shutdown, Keith Lee is sharing his SNAP story. As millions of Americans fear the loss of crucial benefits, TikTok's favorite foodie has called on food brands to donate goods to the families that are currently at risk. | The golf series: Buckle up for The Great American Golf Adventure. The golfing creators of Good Good and GMC have teamed up with Portal A to produce a sponsored series that will feature "the most rugged round of golf imaginable." | | EVENTS & HAPPENINGS |  | Creator Camp is headed to Yosemite |
| Your favorite streaming and creator content is hitting the big screen | The screening: Creator Camp is rolling out a "red carpet in the woods." In partnership with Rivian, FUJIFILM, and Epidemic Sound, Creator Camp will gather 100 internet-famous filmmakers in Yosemite National Park for an outdoor screening of the film Two Sleepy People—and that's just the start for this ambitious project. | The theatrical release: After bringing KPop Demon Hunters to movie screens, Netflix's K-pop sing-along ended up becoming one of the theatrical events of the year. For a follow-up, the streaming service is putting the final season of Stranger Things on the big screen. The screenings will coincide with the premiere of the ultimate episodes, which will drop on New Year's Eve. | The CoComelon movie: CoComelon: The Movie is coming out a little further down the line—on February 26, 2027, to be exact. Animation takes a long time to produce, so CoComelon devotees will have to wait more than a year to catch the franchise's big screen premiere. | | FOOD MEETS MEMES |  | The Rizzler is lending his name to a Hardee's menu item |
| Social media is on the menu at Hardee's, Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Panera | The "Rizzwich": The Rizzler wants you to buy his "Rizzwich." That's the name of a new menu item you can order at Hardee's locations. Creator consumables are great and we can't stop smiling at this picture of The Rizzler looking contemplative in his chef's toque. | The brainrot biz: Domino's and Pizza Hut are both offering '6-7' inspired savings. A discounted Domino's pizza is a tempting offer, but we have to give credit to Pizza Hut for putting the decimal point in a more appealing position. 67 cents just sounds like a better deal than $6.70. | The Panera collab: Panera is teaming with The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives icon Whitney Leavitt to add "Dirty Soda" to its menu. First, the fast-casual chain adopted a "Roman Empire menu" to keep up with TikTok trends. Now it's dipping into that well once again with some help from Leavitt. Panera, you're so extremely online right now. Go touch some lettuce. | | WATCH THIS 📺 | | A YouTube staffer snagged a key role in the new Bruce Springsteen biopic | The man behind the 'burns: Mike Chivaro, YouTube's Manager of Music Content Operations, has old-school sideburns and some skills on the bass guitar. | That was all Deliver Me From Nowhere casting directors needed to hear to put Chivaro in their movie as Garry Tallent, the bassist from Springsteen's E Street Band. Check out the biopic trailer here to see if you can spot him on stage. | | Want to introduce your brand to Tubefilter's audience? Sponsor the newsletter. | Was this email forwarded to you?
