During a recent streaming session of Minecraft on Twitch, Corpse Husband was asked if he would ever do a face reveal, to which he replied that he'd rather not "let down a lot of people at once" because he likely looks quite different from what fans have in mind.
After narrating horror stories on his YouTube channel for several years and making a musical debut with his incredibly deep voice in 2016, Corpse Husband began streaming in 2020, skyrocketing his popularity on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok. Corpse was one of the notable streamers alongside Pokimane and DisguisedToast's in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Among Us stream aimed at spreading the word to vote in the United States presidential election. And his popularity in streaming has consequently caused a surge in success in his musical singles, such as "E-Girls Are Ruining My Life!"
Corpse Husband recently joined forces with k-pop stars Jae and Mark Tuan in a session of Minecraft, where he was asked if he was planning to do a face reveal at some point in the future. While much of the hype around Corpse comes from his deep voice, some of that also stems from the fact that he's never once shown his face on camera. During videos such as Mr. Beast's YouTube Rewind, other personalities are kind enough to respect his wishes and cover his face with Corpse icons instead.
The faceless YouTuber started off his response to the question by saying, "With how the internet is," referring to his clamoring fans, "it'll probably, like, inevitably happen against my will." Some Corpse fans have been desperate enough to say that they'll off themselves if the streamer doesn't eventually do a face reveal, while another tweeted out that they had a dream "Corpse fell in love with me and then did a face reveal because he said he was glowing with love." But it's exactly these kinds of expectations that Corpse is afraid of.
It's clear to Corpse that fans have an idea built in their heads about what he really looks like, and he likely looks "dramatically different from all of them," he says to the k-pop artists on stream. "It's like you're going to let down a lot of people at once and I'd rather not do that."
While it's sad that Corpse thinks he'll disappoint fans, which is rooted in his deep hatred for his own face that he also discusses in the livestream, it's true that Corpse's real face doesn't match the idea of it his fans have created, for the same reason that, after listening to a podcast or a sports announcer with only audio, then seeing their faces later on, it rarely feels like the voice matches the face. Because of the way minds conjure images, but in Corpse's case, it's far more extreme. "People's expectations at this point are ridiculous and unachievable," he says finally.
