The Yandere Simulator Dev Predatory Scandal

Original date: October 2nd, 2023

I originally posted this on Tumblr, but since it didn't gain enough attention, I'll be posting it on DeviantArt instead. Please note that this journal is meant to report on insights based on allegations and is not meant to harass anybody involved in the situation.

Remember the game called Yandere Simulator, who most of you may have been familiar with for being notorious for being in development hell for almost 10 years since 2014, when it began to be covered by many popular YouTubers, and multiple personalities alike back in the day? 

Back then, I was just starting elementary school at the time and I used to play that game before on my old computer a few years prior to its death in September 2020, but I was eventually discouraged from it by my parents so I completely forgot about it for 3 years.

That is, until one day in July 2020, one of its official subreddit, who I used to join and had since left, had been taken over and hacked by someone on Kiwi Farms, which has been one of the few times that made my day on Reddit better.

3 years after this incident an old friend of mine that I had since 2015 decided to post a temporary YouTube community post exposing the developer's actions the other week and has since disappeared.

Recently, there have been scandals towards the original creator of Yandere Simulator, who had been controversial for the fact that he had been notorious for refusing any useful advice from people online, and doing no effort to change his own life since prior to his years posting on Gaia Online, whose former longtime users had enough and were all sick and tired of his actions, and had been preying on underage users for a while, even before he started to groom someone named Sisefs, otherwise known as "Victim Zero", who was 14 back in 2009 and is currently in their late 20s, to the point they treated them like trash.

I wasn't surprised this happened for over a decade, as this person just recently came back to write on their Tumblr blog a few days ago and someone got in touch with them through a YouTube video that I highly recommend also watching below, which has sadly since been taken down by YouTube due to it violating their TOS, and has since been reuploaded on Rumble that you can watch by clicking the link.


Recently this year, undeniable evidence consisting of conversations and calls, revealing the proof that the original creator of the game had preyed on an underage fan of the game, who he had known for 7 years since 2016, and is only referred to by the game's former fanbase as "Jelly" and "Jane" but whom I'll be referring to as "Victim A", who is about 4 months older than I, had resurfaced online last week.

Not to mention, the creator not only pressured Victim A into the point he threatened them, but had doxxed them and committed identity fraud by using their real name to take down Ally's video through a fraudulent copyright takedown, and thankfully the video has been reinstated for now thanks to Victim A's help. 

Here's Ally's video regarding the matter that I recommend watching:

Additionally, this resulted in most of the game's volunteers, including the voice actors of the characters of the game, several game artists, and a third-party developer, known for developing the game Dark Deception, who decided to no longer sell the Yandere Simulator DLC for their game, and the rest of the people involved in the game's development from day one, cutting ties with him, according to a Reddit post.

I checked into the original creator of Yandere Simulator's blog, and from what I've heard, the posts were incomprehensible at all, as they started to victim-blame their own victims while playing the victim card, so to me, they're untrustworthy towards underaged fans of the game, unforgivable and isn't willing to change at all due to their predatory behavior towards minors, I'll no longer be supporting the game and the developer themselves for good, in solidarity of the victims involved in the situation, especially to Victim Zero and Victim A. 

Anyways, here's a message to all victims of said creator, if you're reading this, I wish you all good luck in your future endeavors and make sure to stay away from that predator as far as possible. 

And for more information regarding this situation, I highly recommend watching these two videos above and keep in mind that I'll be updating this with more information as I can find from other people.


UPDATE (as of October 30th, 2023):

Anyways, from what I've heard, the original creator of Yandere Simulator was lying to their fans on their WordPress blog post and at one point there was a comment on YouTube that stated that they pretended to be an concerned fan online and played the victim card by using autism as an excuse but that doesn't mean that they are a predator and criminal, taking to account that their main target audience were mostly people aged between 11 and 34 years old as of October 2023.

It doesn't help that the age of consent in California, where they live, is 18, but how come hadn't they surrendered themselves to the police yet? It seems unlikely.

Apparently, it seems that their Discord account had been disabled, and as of recently, their Twitch account had been banned that evening after the allegations came to light, which turned out to be a permanent ban according to a Twitch partner on Twitter, and not to mention, Yandere Simulator has been banned on the platform since 2016, for having questionable content involving its supposedly underage characters, who are assumed to be middle school students, based on their school uniform, and thankfully, there's a comic on Reddit that I recommend reading, which summarizes everything that's going on about the situation right now.


UPDATE (as of June 20th, 2024):
Another victim has come forward on Reddit, posting their experience with this person on the r/Osana subreddit as well as the evidence detailing his predatory behavior towards them on a Google Drive folder that I recommend reading.

UPDATE (as of July 22nd, 2025):
It's been almost 2 years since the allegations were made public.

I checked out the Google Drive folder that was linked on Ally's other video covering the situation that was posted 4 months prior to the last update.

From what I can find on the Google Drive folder, Victim A was revealed to be an abuser, who put herself in dangerous situations by teaching other minors how to extort money from child predators on Discord, not to mention blackmailing them and having a long history of interacting with those predators.

Honestly, after seeing her sordid past, I hope Victim A reflects on her own actions before it's too late.
