The Asria Scandal A VTuber’s That Impacts The Community!

The VTubing world, known for its creativity and anonymity, faced one of its most shocking controversies in 2020 with the rise and fall of Asria, a Spanish-speaking VTuber. What began as an inspiring story of resilience unraveled into a web of lies, manipulation, and betrayal. This guide delves into the Asria scandal, exposing how one individual exploited sympathy for fame—and the lasting repercussions for the VTuber community.

The Rise of Asria A VTuber with Heartfelt Story

In early 2020, Asria emerged as a rising star in the Spanish VTuber scene. Their persona was built on a tragic backstory: a mute, disabled survivor of a childhood car accident who used text-to-speech and sign language to connect with fans.

Asria claimed to channel their hardships into positivity, pledging to donate earnings to charity and support others with disabilities.

• A “mute” identity, attributed to a fictional car accident.
• Claims of surviving abuse and needing costly medical treatments.
• Promises to donate proceeds to hospitals and disabled individuals.

The community rallied behind Asria, donating funds for their “surgeries” and celebrating their “selflessness.” Prominent VTuber amplified their reach with a viral video, propelling Asria to over 15,000 followers.

What When Wrong, A Cracks in the Facade

Asria’s downfall began with their involvement in drama surrounding Nimu VT, a top Spanish VTuber. When Nimu faced backlash over accusations of model theft, Asria secretly leaked private documents and encouraged creators to attack Nimu, aiming to sabotage her career.

This backstabbing shocked fans—especially since Nimu had donated hundreds to Asria’s “medical fund.” The deception deepened when Nimu discovered Asria had catfished her. Asria deepened the controversy by leaking private documents and covertly encouraging attacks against Nimu VT

This betrayal was compounded when it was revealed that a fake persona—a supposed music producer—had been used to manipulate Nimu VT into unwanted collaborations. The carefully maintained image of vulnerability and resilience was beginning to crumble because Asria is the music producer pleading for collaboration in the early day.

The Investigation to Unmasks the Lie

A diligent investigation led by an independent YouTuber uncovered unsettling inconsistencies in Asria’s backstory. Ties were found linking Asria’s payment details to a music channel known as Shiro EDM, run by an individual from Mexico.

Further scrutiny exposed a series of deceptions: a shifting timeline of the supposed accident, charity streams that funneled donations into personal accounts, and a “face reveal” that turned out to be nothing more than an impersonation by a friend.

Each discovery chipped away at the veneer of authenticity. YouTuber Txrry spearheaded the exposé, uncovering ties between Asria and Shiro EDM, a music channel selling merch featuring Asria’s model. Key revelations:

• Asria’s payment email linked to Shiro EDM, run by a Mexican man.
• Inconsistencies in Asria’s backstory (e.g., changing the accident’s timeline).
• Fake charity streams, with donations funneled to personal accounts.

Asria’s desperate “face reveal” stream backfired when fans realized they’d recruited a friend to impersonate them on camera.

The Catfishing and Collapse of Asria

One of the most heartbreaking outcomes was the manipulation of Serpias, Asria’s online boyfriend of over a year. Using stolen images and fabricated narratives of trauma, Asria manipulated Serpias’ emotions, leaving him devastated upon learning the truth.

Public outcry grew as fans expressed their sense of betrayal, with many describing the experience as a painful lesson in the dangers of trusting digital identities without question. The most devastating victim was Serpias, Asria’s online boyfriend of over a year. Asria sent Serpias stolen photos (purchased from Fiverr) of a Japanese woman, fabricating trauma to manipulate him emotionally. When exposed, Serpias tweeted:

“I was in love with a persona who didn’t exist… a psycho scammer.”

Asria’s confession in September 2020 admitted to:

• Faking disabilities, trauma, and gender.
• Scamming donations meant for medical care and charity.
• Using fake identities to manipulate peers.

Despite apologizing, Asria downplayed the harm, blaming “sensationalism” and shifting focus to unrelated drama.

Rebranding and Reckoning, Asria Attempt to Get Back the Fame!

In the aftermath of the scandal, Asria made several attempts to reinvent their identity. Under new aliases like Alexandrite/Kyke and later Koroyn, each comeback effort failed to win back the lost trust of the community.

Even controversial tactics such as selling the original model and dismissing the scandal with humor could not repair the damage. The rebranding efforts only underscored the depth of the deception. Asria attempted multiple comebacks:

1. Alexandrite/Kyke: Face-reveal streams with dwindling viewership.
2. KoroynVTuber UwuTV: Joining the Vtuber agency, but past scandals resurfaced.
3. Final rebrands: Selling their original model and mocking critics.

Each effort failed. Fans rejected Asria’s lack of remorse, especially after they joked about the scandal and falsely claimed refunds to victims (many never received repayments).

Impact on the VTuber Community

The fallout from the Asria scandal was profound. It cast a long shadow over the VTuber community, especially among creators who share genuine stories of hardship.

Fans became increasingly skeptical of charity streams and heartfelt narratives, leading to an atmosphere of caution.

The broader reputation of VTubers suffered, as outsiders began to generalize the actions of one individual to the entire community. The Asria scandal eroded trust in VTubers, particularly those sharing disabilities or trauma.

The Asria scandal remains a cautionary tale about online personas and the human cost of deception.

For the VTuber community, rebuilding trust starts with amplifying genuine voices and condemning exploitation—ensuring space for creativity without lies.

Stay informed. Stay vigilant. And always support creators who value honesty over hype.
