Charles Christopher White Jr., 31, better known as MoistCr1TiKaL or simply Charlie, has been a staple of the internet community for decades.

MoistCr1TiKaL took home Content Creator of the Year at The Game Awards in 2025, beating wildly popular streamers including Kai Cenat, Caedrel, and The Burnt Peanut.
