VTuber Nyanners reveals she wasn’t paid by VShojo for a Twitch stream during which she was swatted, adding to the growing list of allegations against the company.
Another VTuber Comes Forward with VShojo Payment Complaint — This Time, It Involves Swatting
The VTuber world’s got more tea than a British royal wedding — and it’s starting to boil over.
Just days after Ironmouse went public with her shocking exit from VShojo and claims of unpaid charity funds, another major name is stepping up: Nyanners. And her story? It’s gut-punch level.
Nyanners Says She Was Never Paid for a Stream — Where She Got Swatted
In a stream on July 22, Nyanners revisited her time with VShojo while chatting with her fans about the recent Ironmouse controversy. She casually dropped a bombshell: she was never paid for a stream where she literally got swatted live on Twitch.
“I went through all that, but at least I’ll get paid,” she said sarcastically.
“Wouldn’t you know it, one of the many things they failed to pay me for over the course of literal years was that stream. The one that I got swatted during.”
Yeah. That happened.
And she didn’t mince words about how that felt either:
“It felt like a kick in the deepest part of my gut. Words cannot even describe how angry I was… I trusted them to be able to make good on payments.”
Wait, What Even Is Swatting (and Why Is This a Big Deal)?
Swatting is when someone prank-calls emergency services to report a fake crime — usually something serious like a hostage situation — at a streamer’s location. The goal is to send armed police (or even SWAT) teams to the address.
It’s not just annoying — it’s dangerous. People have been injured, traumatized, and in some cases, killed as a result. And for a VTuber like Nyanners, being swatted while live is terrifying on a whole other level.
Example: In January 2024, Kick streamer N3on was swatted mid-IRL stream, leading to an evacuation at a zoo. This stuff is real, and it’s scary.
A Pattern of Allegations Against VShojo
Nyanners left VShojo back in 2023, but only now is she publicly sharing more about her experience. And she’s not alone. Since Ironmouse’s July 21 departure — where she accused the agency of not paying out $500K in charity funds — multiple former VShojo talents have begun airing their own grievances.
From missing payments to broken promises, it’s becoming clear that there’s a pattern of creators feeling misled, unappreciated, or worse — unpaid.
Why This Matters to the Streaming World
If you think this is just VTuber drama — think again. This hits at the core of what it means to be a creator in the industry: trust, safety, and fair compensation.
No creator should have to endure a traumatic event like swatting and not be compensated for their work — especially when their safety is literally on the line.
Summary
- Nyanners says VShojo didn’t pay her for a stream where she was swatted live.
- She shared her story amid growing backlash against the company, following Ironmouse’s explosive departure.
- Swatting is a serious safety issue in livestreaming — and not something to be brushed off.
- More creators are speaking up, shedding light on what may be a deeper issue within VTuber management companies.
Some Thoughts:
Whether you’re a creator or just a fan, this drama’s a reminder to ask questions, read contracts, and speak up when something feels off. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about anime avatars and Twitch subs — it’s about real people, real risks, and real accountability.
