We are a bunch of people who have been hurt by the Vtuber, TVwasTaken (previously known as Vhasr, a facecam streamer). We would like to anonymously pass over this evidence we have gathered.
TVwasTaken is a harmful and manipulative person.
He was exposed around September 2020 when he was Vhasr, for sexting girls as young as 16, and being abusive. Causing him to panic delete his account.
A few months later he sneakily came back as a Vtuber named TVwasTaken.
He was then kicked out the Vtuber community in November 2021 after being exposed as Vhasr, many people also came out with evidence that he was still being manipulative and abusive as TVwasTaken. He also had very uncomfortable friendships with minors. (Having a discord with over 100 under 16 year olds, which also had a NSFW channel.)
He keeps trying to come back and doing the same harmful things, saying he isn’t back to being in the Vtuber community but keeps interacting with Vtubers and has once again made a discord which is full of Vtubers and streaming when he said he wasn't going to.
TV is not changing or learning. He WILL repeat his previous actions again.
He says there’s no real evidence, so here’s your damn evidence TV.

Screenshots from his Vhasr days
An “Open Letter” from his ex and mother of his child. (After my experience with TVwithTaken, this is 100% accurate)
Screenshots sent by his old mod
In both his Vhasr and TV discord he had a “cutie-prison” section where people post selfies that he uses to find cute afab people to be his next victims.
The person in these screenshots are asexual and posted a pic of themselves in the ‘Cutie-prison’, he immediately jumped on it. (Light purple is the victim)

Contacting a minor
TV is obsessed with a specific minor from his old community, even keeping retweets from them when he deleted everything else on his Twitter. They were under the age of 16.
Despite blocking everyone else, he still has this minor unblocked.

Ven’s experience
TV and I had a very very short relationship, it lasted just under a month but felt like it had lasted for much longer than that.
A VERY big note about me is that I, in general, am a people-pleaser when it comes to close relationships. It's a big trauma response I have, that I just want to appease people, and will do anything if it'll make them pleased with me.
Because of this, a lot of my story is he said/she said. There are screenshots posted at the end, and while I could show everyone our entire conversation history, it won't prove anything. I was a very willing participant in his manipulation and abuse, and I let him walk all over me because of this.
There is also many other things OTHER than manipulation that he would do throughout my time with him. He’d often talk badly about other people in his community, get upset with people for jokingly bashing on him despite the fact he was FAR cruel to other people, and so so much more. Because all of these things and more happened in voice, again, a lot of this you have to trust my word for it.
This is something that TV would take advantage of HEAVILY throughout our relationship. I often would agree with something, talk about something, or do something that I was not comfortable with but would SAY I WAS COMFORTABLE WITH to appease him. It's something I struggle with, and it made our relationship very tense, especially towards the end, and is part of why it progressed so quickly.
By the time we had any sort of "real relationship" that happened he was already calling me 'baby' and other sorts of names. He would love bomb the hell out of me, and I'd go along with it and lovebomb him back. Part of that was truly because I cared for him and wanted him to be a part of my life, part of that was me being terrified of losing him.
When we first started talking we got along really well. We talked about our interests, our streams, and generally just supporting each other's content. The entire time I would gush about TV to my partner, Lith, and talk about how cool he was, how big of a Vtuber he was, and how generally excited I was for him to be talking to me.
Not just that, but I'd talk about how TV would flirt with me. He would tease me about being a bottom, talk about how I was cute, and other things, which I would always egg on. This wasn't without my partner knowing, at the time we were considering opening up our relationship, and we had talks about letting TV be a third. So I let the flirting go on, and eventually it led to me bringing up to him that he should talk to Lith to see if we could potentially have him as a third.
This is mostly just because Lith said the only way he'd be okay with us having a relationship is to see if he'd get along with TV, and generally to feel him out, etc. etc.. TV said he'd think about it and consider it. The entire time we would flirt back and forth, the talks going from lukewarm to very NSFW topics.
The entire time I tried to remind TV how I wanted him to talk to Lith, that I was excited at the possibility of us having a relationship, etc. etc.. The entire time I was ENAMOURED by him, he was essentially all I'd talk to Lith about, I hung out in his Discord basically all day, I watched all of his streams and VODs, I even bought some of his merch.
Eventually he started asking for pictures of me. I commented that I wasn't entirely comfortable taking photos, but that I'd send some old ones. Eventually I gave in and sent him a photo of me, nothing lewd but just a photo, despite the fact that I had stated several times I wasn't quite comfortable with that idea.
A couple of days after this I eventually came forward that I had deeper feelings for him. He said he felt the same and we were ESSENTIALLY in a relationship. I think it took me a few days to ask if I could call him my partner, at least between Lith and I, and he agreed as long as nobody could know. I agreed, and this is when our real 'relationship' started.
We talked every day, had private calls, and so on. Eventually I came forward about my past abusers to him to explain why I was so hesitant towards him asking me to do certain things. He said he supported me fully and understood, and we moved forward.
From that point onwards he started to get more and more impatient with me. I had warned him my mental health wasn't great, that I was insecure, that I needed validation, and the more days that passed where this happened the shorter his temper got with me.
He would often snap and say that he couldn't do anything to help me. He would yell at me in his Discord server and when I muted to stop myself from crying he would DM me that he was annoyed that I was attention-seeking. Any time my mental health came up he started to get irritated and would deflect by talking about lewd things, and eventually that was the core of our relationship.
He would often ask for lewd pictures, audio recordings, videos, and I would try to decline but he'd be insistent about it. I'd give in, feel horrible about it, but pretend that things were okay.
I also would not talk to ANYONE about this. There came a point where I couldn't even speak to Lith about it because I was terrified that they would tell me to stop talking to TV, so I kept it to myself. I'd often sit in the shower and cry for over an hour because of how washed up I would feel.
Eventually it got to a point that he told me that we could not be in a relationship because of my mental health, and that he was more comfortable with us being friends with benefits only. I agreed, more terrified to lose him than anything, but despite that things didn't change.
He continued to wake me up with "I love you" messages, to lovebomb me, and we continued to call in DM's as though nothing happened.
Things continued on like this for a couple of weeks until I got a message from someone in the server who I'll refer to as A. They talked about how he and I were very close and I said "oh we're just friends!" and I got the response "oh? he told me you guys were in a thing, that's weird."
This was when I started to realise that he was using me. Despite everything, being told by this person that he had broken our one sacred rule of "keep it a secret, nobody can know about us" opened the floodgates of "wait why am I letting him walk all over me? what's going on?"
I talked to A over the span of the next week, and realised that he was using other people similarly to the way he was using A and I. He had told me that he was talking to/seeing other people, yet he would never talk about who it was.
It didn't sit right, and eventually things between me and TV started to boil to a head. I stopped bowing down in apology when he would get upset with me for my mental health, we would often get into small arguments over things, until the weekend where we would separate entirely.
I had talked with A a LOT until they eventually messaged me apologising, that TV had figured out that we were talking and had forced them to come clean to him about everything that was going on.
TV then dm'd me saying that he had spoken with A and that I had violated our single rule of "not telling anyone" and that it was my fault for violating our relationship and told them about what was going on.
I refuted it, wanting to keep A protected, and simply said that we never spoke about our relationship and what he was saying was a lie. He continued on, saying that we were over, and I proceeded to block him and leave the server.
After all of that, I continued to talk to A, who was in a far worse state than I was with his abuse and manipulation, and we quickly realised that he had been doing this to many other people in his server. Telling them to not speak to anyone about his relationship with them, manipulating them, and when things got too risky kicking them to the curb.
He would avoid anyone coming to them with information by saying "people hate me and will make up things about my past to tear me down and get people away from me" and repeatedly ask for support from those people, getting you to believe he would never do wrong.
I managed to speak to a few people who were either in or about to be in that sort of situation with him, managing to save them from the same situation I was in, and that led into today.
He's posted apologies, "addressing" what had happened, and said he was sorry, but every one of them is spoken from his persona and then deleted a few weeks later. The screenshots posted here about his responses to people talking about the situation are sarcastic, and you can see his mask starting to fall off before he pushes it back on.
I sincerely believe in being able to change and grow from being a horrible person, that you can learn from your mistakes and continue on, but I don’t think TV has. I don’t think he’s capable of moving on from his persona, from preying on the Vtuber community for their support and love, because in the end that’s what he’s after. He doesn’t care about supporting other people unless they support him twice as hard, and I don’t believe anyone deserves that from someone like him.
Thank you for listening to me. Please listen to anyone else, whether they want to fully share their stories or not.
It’s currently March 2023 & I would like to make an additional statement regarding TV.
Since TV is now making statements that my experiences are invalid, despite this entire document existing, there's one thing that he definitely cannot deny: he is a bully. He wants to belittle the people who look down on him and will state that it is a smear campaign against him and people want to use his name for clout. The reality of the situation is that I would react the way I do whether my abuser has 10 followers or 10,000 followers.
I also want to say that despite everything I do not care about destroying his career. I don't wish him to vanish off the Earth, I just want any proof that he has changed in any capacity. Yesterday, after he had broken into my and my friend's Discord server to post a threat, I was messaging a friend who was in contact with him asking if he'd be willing to speak with a mediator. He called that childish and waved it aside, and to me that says a lot of things.
He's not interested in actually talking things out, he expects me to move on and push everything under a rug. While I will never actively try to make moves to shut him down, nor harass his community to tell people to unfollow or stop interacting with him (and I don't endorse those who do this as well), I will continue to inform the people that I am close to and that are in my circle that he has not changed. That he is a bully who is continuing to threaten me for telling people about my past experiences with him and that I have not seen change in his behaviours.
TV, again if you are reading this, I don't know why you so firmly set on me being the person who is behind the attacks on you. I hold no true ill will towards you, and despite the fact that you are so certain I continue to be the one lighting the flame, I personally have moved on with my life. I've moved to a new state, set up an entire new routine, and most days completely forget you exist. Your name is nothing more than me discussing to my partner habits I've grown because of past trauma, and that's it. You can say what you want to others, saying that I am the one who is continuing to try and ruin your career, but my impact is nothing other than the words in this doc and a post on Twitter when it makes the rounds again. If you want to have a true discussion about this with a mediator present so I can feel secure that our conversation will be productive, as you have shown in every discussion before it will not be without one, I'm open to it. Otherwise, this is it.
Thank you for reading, be safe.

Texts with his ex about their child
TV created a spreadsheet of people in the vtuber community to block/report.
Passed around to his mod team at the time under the pretence that the people on the sheet were behind hate raiding communities. Baseless claims that proved to be untrue and it was those same mods that banded together to out him. (The spreadsheet even includes the artist behind TV’s current pfp at the time but who remained uncredited anywhere. Not only does he not credit artists but actively goes out of his way to get people to go against them.)

TV has made various statements regarding all of these previous statements but they have since been deleted.
