On controversy
Regarding the controversy mentioned before.

On September 3rd, Nimu was put into a witch-hunting after allegations of "harassing a small VTuber called 'Loli', who Nimu claims she(Loli) stole the model she was using, lately Nimu sends his community to attack Loli, causing her to cry and remove her social media."

A Facebook page called "Akihabara Anime" spread the notice itself and was quickly shared in the whole internet causing a chaos among the community as well as many fans and other fellow Youtubers/VTubers around the media shared their dissapointment to the VTuber.

Amidst the controversy, the case was unclear and the context shared was the one made by Akihabara Anime along with several screen captures of Nimu talking on her Discord group with pitiable and arrogant attitude, where the community on Twitter and other social media made the assumption that she planned her attack on this VTuber.

The negative reception made the name Nimu became trending during the whole day, and many were instantly judging her without any second opinion. Due the lack of a chronological story, there were several out of context explanations that did nothing but worsening Nimu's popular image for days.

Nimu however made a livestream during the same day of the controversy(Sep 3rd), where she explains and shows her version. Regarding the conflict of the model used by Loli, Nimu explained that the model was a Vocaloid fanart and according the artist who made it(amakoke), it wasn't allowed to profit or being used in VTuber activities due copyright issues.

She stated her desire to help the VTuber as she contacted with her in order to support her about a new model. However, the reception post her livestream went even worse after trying to break the ice by joking that her mood changes were caused by her period. The bad joke itself went out of hand and caused the community to claim that Nimu was excusing her bad behavior with her menses.

On September 4th at 1:36AM(GMT-4), Nimu shares as twitlonger and a picture apologizing with Loli and coming clean about the case involved and her bad behavior.

The audience however, negated her apologies claiming that after Nimu apologized on Twitter, she still badmouthed Loli in her Discord server, exposing captures that were nothing but the captures shown during the afternoon and maliciously exposed as recent. The captures had a 9-10 hour gape of Nimu's apologies, however, the community didn't notice it either.

Following the aggressive trending, several Youtubers addressed the case, but sharing different versions and doing cherry picking of the evidences, which did nothing but making the story way more confusing and demonizing Nimu's as an envious, evil and relentless person.

None of the videos helped but creating a disturbing hate towards the VTuber at the point of raiding her streams with "Angry" reactions and sending insults, hate speech and donations with aggressive messages.

This caused the VTuber to upload an official apology video on September 6th, where she made a mea culpa of her actions and showing regret of her words and apologizing Loli, requesting for a second chance to show she wasn't the person that everyone were preaching in videos.

Loli however, debunked the fact that she removed her social media and shut everything down after the controversy. Sharing the desire for the community not to hate Nimu and that they should accept her apologies. As she eventually talked with Nimu and settled things up.

The audience however, weren't conform and kept the witch-hunting. On September 22th, this went too far when Nimu snapped and started crying during her stream. This caused a separate opinion between people believing this was made up, and people thinking that the witch-hunting went out of hand.

Two days before this event, Loli shared on her Discord server an e-mail regarding a response made by amakoke, where the artist explained that while there are no trouble by streaming and or using her models for non-profit use, there's a problem when the user makes money with it due the fact that it's a fanart of Vocaloid, which would cause a copyright claim if she kept profitting.

This message helps to debunk the version that Loli could make money with the model and that was no-copyright as some Youtubers claimed by sharing website regarding the commercial use of the character.

As well as giving the reason that none of the personalities who talked about the case had a clue about they were talking.

Four months of the controversy, on January 13th, 2021, Loli(Newly named as Suwie) debunked the popular claim of her controversy, stating that this was a "chinese whisper", she never shut down her social media, she never cried and claimed that her mood wasn't motivated by anything internet claimed but personal reasons.

While people accepted Nimu's apologies and she could keep her streams and numbers, her image is still controversial even after the problem was settled up.

This article explains in detail the case(in spanish), as well as shares a docummental video and interviews. https://shinka.cl/post/nimu-se-cambia-a-twitch-que-le-motivo-a-renunciar-a-facebook-510

Many people have claimed that the actual first Argentinian Vtuber is Danuu AI.

Rejected diff, part 2; reformatted to fit the page; annotations were added by the moderator

On September 4th, a conversation was leaked from her official Discord server where she was informed of a streamer called Loli using a Live2D model resembling Nimu's model. Nimu reacted somewhat negatively, stating that she was not surprised that someone was using a character akin to hers. Nimu, upon realizing the character model, said that Loli supposedly had no permission to use the character and that the creator of the model was the one who drew and created her character. Her fanbase incited insults towards Loli. [not well-supported by the source]

Loli's character model was a non-official Live2D Facerig model from a popular VOCALOID and VOICEROID character called Kizuna Akari, made by the artist Amakoke. After receiving the news about Loli's stream, she[Nimu?] decided to join her[Loli's?] stream and talk to her about her character model, along with her fans, which it resulted that she spoke harshly to her to the point of making her[Loli?] cry on-air.

Loli issued a statement saying that she would learn from her mistakes, clarifying that Nimu is the only person who can judge her own decisions in such situation. As a result, Nimu posted an apology dedicated to Loli on her Twitter account with her statements, but in a stream she made another apology in which she blamed the fact that she was on her period causing her to "act nasty".

Regarding the status of the model that Loli used, Amakoke was contacted and confirmed that it is okay to use the model on streams, this fact refuted what Nimu said about Loli not being allowed to use the model. Amakoke apologized because of their model looking similar to Nimu's.

Some people[who?] believe that Nimu edited the Kizuna Akari model by Amakoke without any permission, even if Amakoke apologized for the similarity between Akari's model and Nimu's.

Feedback 1
There's a bunch of mistakes chronologically talking on the statement you wrote about. Mainly on several points. Starting that Nimu did the first mistake at talking in public during Suwie(Loli)'s stream. Nimu never implied what you mention or talked that she wasn't surprised. By judging the evidences, she claimed at first stance that the fanbase, mainly the "toxic" ones would claim and consider Suwie "a copy of Nimu", not that every model around are a copy of Nimu.

Second, the negative reception lead Nimu to react negatively and show several unfortunate commentaries on her personal Discord group that put her in an bad position by checkin the captures. The commentaries as well as explanation of the model Suwie was using were written after the livestream of the affected VTuber. This is the second big mistake held by Nimu at the moment.

Third, following the several memes, the trending topic of the name Nimu on Twitter and many users giving an exaggerated and extremely sensationalist context of the happening, Nimu decided to clear the things up during her livestream on Facebook. The main points she regards about the controversy were cleared by Nimu explaining about the consequences of using a vocaloid model that cannot be used in VTuber activities, because of a reasonable point, copyright issues.

That includes that the claims that the fanbase do towards her were made by the ignorance(Which is evidenced by the lack of knowledge about understanding what "commercial use" is or how it works, sharing websites to "acute" Suwie's position or addressing her innocence as the character was downloadable at Steam without considering the rules given on it. Bassically doing a Straw Man Fallacy).

Despite the bad reception and many people sending "Angry" reactions on the livestream, she was apologizing the about her negative reaction, but the apologies weren't considered by the audience after she was justifying that her mood changes were caused by her period. Which leads her third and last big mistake. On September 27th on an interview, she confirms that the "apology" she did during her livestream was never an official one, she explained that tried to joke about which wasn't a very good idea as she agreed.

After checking out the final evidences chronologically talking, she posts a twitlonger hours later on Twitter apologizing and regarding the mistakes she did and was aware that she needs to change and control herself. The statement itself is alright, yet the fanbase and other people were invalidating the apologies by posting the captures shared of her discord during the afternoon and claiming that while she apologied in Twitter, she was still insulting Suwie on Discord which is eventually fake and sadly people shew the ignorance and lack of reasoning by not checking the "evidences" but believing the commentaries. On September 6th on her Facebook she posts an official apology doing a "mea culpa" about all what happened. Which closes the problem between both VTubers.

Ok, now regarding Sora-Chan's post on Twitter only regards the fact that Amakoke was apologizing with apparently an external customer about that the character commissioned hold similarities with other ones. Where the artist apologized by the similarities. About Nimu, her character was commissioned by Amakoke, so there's no real evidence to claim that she edited it as the character only shares certain emotes with Kizuna Akari's model, avoiding the obvious fact of the emotes, her character is completely original as you won't find her model anywhere.
