Michael Aftias (also "Aftais," "Aas," or whatever the automatic captions invent that week) is a United States flerf who spent about a decade not researching flat earth, then showed up on MCToon Live ready to lose for six and a half hours. He says the Earth is flat and stationary. He says Jesus Christ is his Lord and Savior. He also sells videos of himself having sex on ManyVids and used to cam on Chaturbate under aceshadowz. Those last two are not a Christian ministry. They are a side hustle with worse lighting than the debate.

Couch cam authenticity. The curtains are doing more work than the model of the Earth.

Origin story: Netflix, Nibiru, and a friend named "brother"

On MCToon Live he explained how a serious man arrives at a stationary plane. Mid-to-late twenties. Weird spot in life. Wanted to know "how we got here." Grew up not religious — "like an atheist through high school." Then Netflix offered a documentary about ancient Sumerian tablets, Nibiru, and Tiamat getting yeeted by a moon until the asteroid belt fell out. Mike told all of this to a close friend he insists on calling his brother (not a blood brother; an only child with a branding problem). The friend said Earth is not a ball. Mike took it "with more than a grain of salt," went on the roof to watch stars, compared Genesis to vibes, and one day it "clicked" like a revelation.

Asked for the number-one positive flat-earth fact that convinced him, he could not name one. MCToon's list of convincing measurements stayed empty. Mike's positive case opened with "Earth doesn't move," which is a slogan, not a measurement. A decade in, and the conversion story still starts with streaming conspiracy content and a friend who never lied to him. Peer review by vibes. Science by Netflix.

Debate résumé

• Featured on FTFE a couple of times; Craig recommended him to MCToon.
• 16 September 2026: ~6h34m on MCToon Live titled LIVE! Flerf Debate vs Michael Aftias.
• Ten years as a flatearther by his own count, with the honesty to admit he did not spend those years researching "non-stop like it's my job." Correct. The transcript is the job interview.

Greatest hits

Wind is stronger than gravity, therefore vibes. He argued gases of different masses should layer, then decided wind "overcomes" gravity, then asked where wind comes from, then got told pressure gradients, then summarized "Gravity's wind." Misquoting the other guy is not a win. It is a tell.

Flat lines mean no gravity. Shown a plot of constant downward acceleration (~9.8 m/s²), he announced that flat lines mean there is no gravity. Constant acceleration looks like a flat line on that plot. An EEG joke wrote itself. He did not notice.

Hypocrite standards, one-way street. He demanded globe analogs he would never accept as flat-earth analogs, refused the container-held-sideways test for his own "no gravity / water sticks" implications, then declared oceans flat while offering zero measurements — photographs and published work "don't count," only Mike going outside right now with the webcam counts. He could not take the webcam. Standards are for other people.

Blind faith is when you measure; certainty is when Mike feels it. Empirical evidence is "faith." His unevidenced stationary plane is not. That is not epistemology. That is a protection racket for a bad model.

Watersports for money

On X as aceshadowz / @aceshadowzCB he put it in writing: he Plays watersports for money. That is the urine-fetish cam menu sold as product — which is why the infobox drinks urine row is not empty. Christian brand optional; golden-shower invoice mandatory.

Christian brand, porn inventory

Late in the debate, after MCToon needled the "pretend religious person" bit, Mike answered:

I don't pretend to be a religious person. I mean, I'm a Christian.
…
He is. [Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.]

Cute. Now inventory the other tab.

• X account aceshadowz / @aceshadowzCB (joined December 2016): sites aceshadowz.com / aceshadowz.site; posts mix Subaru WRX STI freeway-roll clips with VID SOLD! ManyVids promos for videos he is in (age-gated adult content).
• January 2021 forum posts as Aceshadowzz / friend comicalmoodydan: Chaturbate account aceshadowz banned after ~five years of cam modeling since 2016; email aceshadowZ@yahoo.com; personal site Aceshadowz.com; claimed the name was painted on his wall.

Selling recordings of yourself in porn is not a Christian witness. It is not "family friendly debate night" energy. It is not complicated theology. It is hypocrisy with a ManyVids SKU — the same quality of standard he brings to gravity, water, and "measurements right now." Jesus is Lord until the shower scene ships. Then Jesus can wait in the green room while #MVSales trends.

The flerf scientific method and the flerf moral method are the same trick: announce a standard, apply it to everyone else, exempt yourself when it would cost you a claim or a paycheck.

Art: Ace paints "Space is fake!"

Local archive includes amateur canvases signed Ace: a girl flying a kite and a tethered NASA astronaut under Space is fake! and #research flat earth; another titled Princess Jaslene with a UFO asking what kind of sorcery this is, next to a Meade telescope box. The paintings are more coherent than the atmospheric physics. That is not praise for the paintings.
