Controversy
No Socks Challenge
In May 2022, Bleichner aired a segment on Skeleton Realm LIVE! titled "No Socks Challenge," during which he posted alleged proof of his involvement with the No Socks Challenge movement, which aims to raise awareness for the growing field in alternative physical therapy for curing baldness. The proof, which was allegedly a photo of Bleichner's own bare feet taken at the Skeleton Realm Studios set, received immediate scrutiny not only by Realmers, but by co-founder of Skeleton Realm and co-host of Skeleton Realm LIVE! live on air. They alleged fraud due to what appeared to be "narrow channels" which they alleged to be "sock imprints" above Bleichner's ankles. In response to this criticism, Bleichner claimed the alleged "narrow channels" were in reality from his "bands," which are the weights he applies to his ankles "every stream day" to "work out his calves."[1]
This controversy sparked a debate among members of the No Socks Challenge movement whether, by the nature of bands being half a sock, that two bands make one sock, effectively violating the challenge. Bleichner has gone on record to state "it's not a fucking sock."[1]
