Twitch VTuber Sinder has faced controversy after artist Nanoless published a 12-page document on April 26, 2025, accusing Sinder and her manager, REDACTED, of manipulation, slander, and exploitative behaviour.
Nanoless, which ended its professional relationship with Sinder, alleged that the duo spoke negatively about other creators, spread rumours to isolate collaborators, and pushed for an exclusivity agreement without additional pay.

The situation intensified when Twitch partner Vampeaches claimed REDACTED, Sinder’s manager, was also her boyfriend. On April 28, Sinder issued a public apology, confirming the personal relationship and announcing REDACTED’s removal from her management team. She admitted to oversight failures, stating, “I was unaware of the full extent of REDACTED’s actions,” and acknowledged that business pressures clouded her judgment in her relationship with Nanoless.
It’s the worst when you can actually tell you’re being used or deceived….So awful that Sinder was literally using people to get access to other people only because they were big in the Vtubing space. Her intentions are clear that she only wants and cares for the money and fame.… https://t.co/TIZrjcw8jK
