On Mr. McToon's Notice of the Book

The Source Broadcasts

Two livestreams on Mr. Cruickshank's „The Simple Truth Is Christ!” channel, posted on consecutive evenings in mid-May 2026. The first (the longer of the two) is the original broadcast; the second appears to be a re-edit highlighting the McToon segment. Both are reproduced here in full so the reader may verify every quotation in context.

The Review That Set It Off

The provocation was a single Amazon review — one star, verified-purchase, posted 14 April 2026 by „McToon” — reproduced aloud by Mr. Cruickshank in both broadcasts. The portions he read, in their unedited order:

Two structural details of this review draw Mr. Cruickshank's especial ire: first, that the reviewer plugged his own YouTube channel inside the body of the Amazon review; second, that the reviewer admits to having only conducted a live walk-through of chapters one and two — published the verdict regardless.

The Catalogue of Grievances

Twenty-seven distinct claims against Mr. McToon are levied across the two broadcasts (or the same complaint repeated, where the speakers return to a point). Each is paired with the timestamps where it appears. Click any [A]00:00 tag to seek the embedded broadcast above to that moment.

I. On the Review Itself

1. The review is „inevitable and predictable.” It's inevitable, predictable, and it shows how scared he is of flat earth, much a detractor has to be.
   [B]01:00 [A]31:00
2. He gave it one star — would have given zero if Amazon allowed. If he could have given it like 0.1 of a star, he would have.
   [B]07:30 [A]37:30
3. Opened with derogatory remarks — couldn't summon a single positive line. He couldn't even say one thing positive — at least „they gave it a try” or you know, something. But no, he had to start off with derogatory comments.
   [B]08:00 [A]38:00
4. „Childishly wrong on all accounts.” That's me being childishly correct on all accounts what I said — but he's saying wrong on all accounts.
   [B]07:30 [A]37:30
5. The „clearly AI nonsense” charge is unsupported. Why would you think that? Maybe they used [AI] to help them with the wording, I don't know, but it'll be nonsense at all. Anyway, if he can prove that, then I'd like to see him do it.
   [B]08:30 [A]38:30
6. He isn't reviewing the book — he's reviewing QE. He's talking from experience, not just this book. He's putting all of his experience [in]… So this is nothing to do with the book.
   [B]09:00 [B]14:30 [A]38:30 [A]44:30
7. Petty critique — punctuation, bold text, spacing — not substance. Who cares about punctuation? It's information. They're not trying to tell a story… It's information that's important in this book. He's just being derogatory for the sake of it, picking out stupid little things like punctuation.
   [B]09:30 [A]39:30
8. The „bad grammar” line is a lie. It's very standard. The only thing is there's extra spaces, but that's just standard book formatting in the digital age now. Grammar and language perfect, well-written in my opinion.
   [B]10:30 [A]40:30
9. The „black-and-white only” line is a lie — the book has full-colour photos inside. There's full-colour photos in pages, so that's not true either. So he's read it, has he? He probably hasn't read it. He's flicked through it probably.
   [B]11:30 [A]41:30
10. The „crayons vomited on the page” jab is a recycled smear from his own channel. You're talking about your past experience with [QE]. Not this book, McToon. You're an ass.
    [B]11:30 [A]41:30
11. He lies — repeatedly, as a habit. It's lies, right? … He lies. He lies a lot.
    [B]11:00 [A]41:30
12. He plugged his own YouTube channel inside the Amazon review. He's actually advertised his own bloody… he says he reviewed it on a video and he's plugged his own channel review of flat earth in this book … why does he have to promote his own channel in a review?
    [B]01:30 [B]23:30 [A]31:00 [A]53:30
13. He admitted reviewing only the first two chapters before delivering his verdict. I did a live review of chapters one and two on McToon YouTube … He couldn't read the whole book, [had] to. As soon as it was out, you've got to say something.
    [B]12:00 [A]42:00
14. The review was rushed — published the moment the book dropped. As soon as it was out you've got to say something.
    [B]12:30 [A]42:30
15. His review thumbnail (rows of thumbs-down icons) is juvenile. Look at all these [thumbs] on his thumbnail. What a great, great thumbnail, McTune — you're so creative.
    [B]08:30 [A]38:30
16. The review violates Amazon community guidelines — should be reported. He shouldn't be reviewing things like that. I'll report him, and everybody else should as well… because he's being derogatory.
    [B]13:30 [B]24:00 [A]44:00 [A]54:00

II. On the Parody „Counter-Book” — Verified

17. He published a parody/satire version of the book on Amazon. [CONFIRMED] [He's] decided to focus on this book. He's made a corrupted version, put it on Amazon, and then done a review for both books, so they're linked together now. … McToon's version of Welcome to Flat Earth — ripped some jokes in, changed the cover, probably made some things incorrect.

    Confirmed via Amazon listing B0GXGZKBPS: „Welcome to Flat Earth: All Roads Lead to Flat Earth” by „Quantum Earacher” & „Adam Meekin.”

    [A]06:30
18. His Amazon review is cross-linked to both books to bundle them in the listing. He's done a review for both books, [so] they're linked together now.
    [A]06:30
19. Paul calls the parody a „fake copy” and invokes QE & Adam's copyright. If I had an Amazon account, [I] would [report it as a] fake copy — that's [an] infringement on Quantum Eraser and Adam's copyright…

    Spoken by Paul, not PJ. The auto-caption mangles „Quantum Eraser” into „Conor McRae” (V1) and „Quantum Razor” (V2). Paul also says the copyright is „registered with the US Patent Office” — copyright is filed with the US Copyright Office, and per the public record Welcome to Flat Earth's US copyright is pending, not registered. Treat this line as Paul casually invoking IP rights, not as a verified registration claim.

    [B]24:30 [A]54:00
20. He used AI to author the parody — suspiciously fast turnaround. How has he managed to write that so quick? AI. He's obviously put these words into [the] book, [said] „I'll change for me.”
    [B]24:30 [A]54:30
21. He has a paid team helping produce this content. He's got people on his team, ain't he? … Someone full-time there who could just knock something up for him, I imagine.
    [B]25:00 [A]55:00
22. „Gaslighting” about the book's authorship — supports Nathan's „ripped off” narrative. I thought QE and co ripped this book off — [Nathan said] „no, not really.” That's called gaslighting, Jono. You can't rewrite history like that. We all know how Nathan's show played out.
    [B]19:00 [A]49:00

III. On the Reviewer's Character & Motive

23. He is „scared of flat earth” — because it threatens his sci-fi worldview. It shows how scared they are of flat earth, because it takes away sci-fi — and means he has to admit there's a God.
    [B]01:00 [B]13:00 [A]05:30 [A]43:00
24. He's a coward who hides behind the keyboard. You're an actual wimp, you know — you'd not see anybody face-to-face… „Where's the guns, Nathan?” I guarantee he probably wouldn't say that to your face. He wouldn't, because he's just a coward that does things behind the keyboard. Simple as that.
    [B]12:30 [A]42:30
25. Mockery of his name — „meat clown,” „MC Tune,” „McClown,” „tick moon.” Nobody's going to call you MC Tune — you're not a master of ceremonies — you're just meat clown.
    [B]07:30 [A]37:30
26. He is in coordinated association with the other one-star reviewers. [I] dare say there's a good few [reviewers] that — in association with McToon. I'm not saying them all, but…
    [B]02:00 [A]32:00
27. He is weaponising other negative reviews to sow division within the flat-earth community. As soon as you see something that could [be a] division of flatters against the other, [they] put it there into their own narrative to try and discredit flat-earthers.
    [B]22:00 [A]52:00

The Wider Saga: McToon's Three Reviews, QE's Counter-Attack, and the Copyright Certificate

The PJ Cruickshank broadcasts above are but one tributary of a larger campaign that has been waged on the public record since the book's launch on the 8th of April, 2026. The following chronology assembles the on-air statements from Mr. McToon, Mr. Quantum Eraser, and the Amazon catalogue itself — every claim verified to its primary source.

What had begun in 2022 as a private dispute between Mr. Quantum Eraser and Mr. Oakley over authorship of an unwritten flat-earth treatise has — by the spring of 2026 — metastasised into a multi-channel public conflict involving an Amazon listing, an Amazon parody-listing, two YouTube copyright strikes, a registered US Copyright Office certificate, an organised review-campaign, two consecutive PJ Cruickshank evening livestreams, and a flat-earth movement once more divided against itself. The pamphlet's main register chronicles the schism within the flerf community; this Appendix records the front opened by the anti-flerfs against the book the flerfs did finally publish.

On the Sourcing of This Appendix

Every quotation above is drawn verbatim from the TubeCodex transcripts of the two broadcasts embedded at the top of this page. The reader may verify any line by clicking its timestamp tag — the embedded player will seek to the moment of speech. Minor punctuation has been silently regularised, and very short bracketed insertions ([…]) added only where required for grammatical legibility; no substantive word has been altered.

The framing of these claims belongs to Mr. Cruickshank and his guests Paul and Jono. They are reproduced here as testimony, in the same posture as every other quotation throughout this pamphlet — not as adjudicated fact. Where claims concern matters of public record (the existence of the Amazon review; its content; the broadcasts themselves; the existence of the parody listing under ASIN B0GXGZKBPS) the record is independently verifiable. Where claims concern Mr. McToon's motives, allegiances, or business arrangements, they remain the speakers' allegations and have not been confirmed.
