Paulo Cezar Goulart Siqueira[2] (18 April 1986 – 27 December 2023), better known as PC Siqueira, was a Brazilian YouTuber, presenter, and comic book colourist. He had more than 2 million subscribers on his YouTube account. He made a lot of content for the internet, as well as programs on TV via MTV Brasil, PlayTV and TBS Brasil.

Biography and career

[edit]

Childhood, adolescence and early career

[edit]

As a child, PC was a victim of bullying from other children because of his strabismus, and ended up having to teach himself to read and write at home. He began working as a comic book illustrator and colourist[3] while still a teenager, at the age of fifteen. However, he became known for his work as a vlogger on the "maspoxavida" channel, created in February 2010[4] on the YouTube website, publishing critical videos, covering current and varied topics.[5] PC brought controversy with his opinions, especially when criticizing religions due to the fact that he was an atheist, such as when making fun of a religious symbol, with the following phrase: "Cockroach, in my opinion, is proof that God does not exist!", and after publishing messages of a religious nature on his microblog.

2011–2013: As presenter on MTV

[edit]

In March 2011, PC debuted a half-hour weekly program on MTV Brazil entitled PC na TV. The program's look represented a computer monitor and, in addition to news given by Siqueira, there were reports, interviews,[6][7] special articles, with a more documentary character and a different aesthetic concern. The program was canceled in June 2013, along with other MTV Brazil programs, due to a crisis at the broadcaster. In the same month, PC was dismissed by the channel's management.[8] Still at MTV Brasil, he commanded the programs MTV Games,[9] Furo MTV and Nunca Verão.[10]

2015–2016: Jorgecast and Caravana on television

[edit]

In April 2015, he returned to TV and started presenting the Jorgecast program alongside YouTuber Cauê Moura on PlayTV.[11] In May 2016, he joined the cast of the comedy Caravana na TV, on the TBS Brazil channel.[12]

2016–2019: PC Siqueira Está Morto (PC Siqueira Is Dead) and O Aprendiz (The Apprentice)

[edit]

In June 2016, he announced that he would have surgery to correct his strabismus.[13] Still recovering, he released the book PC Siqueira Está Morto (PC Siqueira is Dead), by Alexandre Matias, which covers a part of PC's life using science fiction features. On July 5, 2016, PC published a video on his YouTube channel showing the results of the surgery. He revealed that he decided to have surgery after a conversation with his brother and that he felt his self-esteem was better.[14][15] In a video published on his channel, he revealed that he suffered from depression, anxiety and panic syndrome.[16]

In 2019, PC participated in the reality show O Aprendiz (The Apprentice), being fired in episode 11.

Personal life

[edit]

Religious and political beliefs

[edit]

PC Siqueira identified himself as an atheist and antireligionist,[17] although at times he ironically expressed an interest in the anti-Christ and in Satanism.[18] He often poked fun at religion and caused controversy, most notably in 2011 when he said he used a Christian cross as a meatbeater and that writing "Cockroach, in my opinion, is proof that God does not exist!" on his blog.[19]

PC Siqueira endorsed Ciro Gomes' presidential bid in the 2018 Brazilian general election.[20]

Pedophilia allegations

[edit]

On 10 June 2020, PC Siqueira was accused of sharing pornographic photos of a 6-year-old child. An anonymous Twitter account released cell phone screen recordings where the vlogger talks to an unidentified friend and reports the following experience: PC Siqueira received photographs of the daughter of a woman he was talking to. He later shared the material with said friend.[21][22][23] PC Siqueira said these accusations were fake news.[24][25][26] Cauê Moura and Rafinha Bastos decided to announce the end of the Ilha de Barbados channel, of which Siqueira was part.[27]

On 16 June 2020, Siqueira gave a statement at the 4th Personal Protection Police Station, after which an official statement was issued, affirming the investigation of the complaint.[28] On the same day, he deactivated his YouTube channel, called "maspoxavida".[29] On 24 February 2021, the Police of the State of São Paulo, after technical investigations by the Superintendency of the Technical-Scientific Police (SPTC), of the Secretariat of Public Security of the State of São Paulo, on the computer, external HD, cell phone, console electronic games and other electronic devices, found no evidence that PC Siqueira had stored, shared, researched child pornography content materials or had contact with minors.[30][31]

Death

[edit]

On 27 December 2023, PC Siqueira was found dead in his apartment in the Santo Amaro neighborhood in the city of São Paulo. He was 37.[32] The case was registered as a suicide by hanging.[33][34]
