"I've contacted and reached out to the victims and they have forgiven me"
First I'm hearing about it. Not only have you not talked to me since your terrible apology last summer, I most certainly haven't forgiven you either.
@callme__gabi
Because Chiitan takes over for crypto scams and other things! Chiitan’s ads also make my day a little better because the videos are so chaotic its funny
@lashiec
this is one of the many reasons I want the HSR fandom to pay attention to what and who the voice actors are. Especially sense Hoyoverse refuses to do accurate bacground checks.
Here is Kirbopher's reply email. I have intentionally erased the names of people who have not consented to be involved in any of this.
I want you to pay particular attention to the line "I know full well about virtually everything you shared with me."
Ofc they have one of his friends actually voicing in this fucking game defending him. What the actual fuck Hoyoverse. Get both Chris Niosi and Griffen Puatu out of this fucking game.
- HONKAI: STAR RAIL NEWS -
Griffen Puatu (Sunday’s EN VA) comes forward in support of Chris Niosi (Moze’s EN VA).
It seems the comment section is very split with many expressing disappointment in this response.
#HonkaiStarRail
I know this doesn't help anything, but I want to highlight this because of how much it fucking hurt me and how much I'm hurting now.
The incident in this screenshot is specifically why I quit voice acting.
I've given multiple reasons before, but this was the moment I decided.
I am trimming a lot of content out of both of these emails specifically because I rant at him A LOT and I want to highlight the important details that confirm the narrative I expressed in the document response.
One last update, because I imagine this will be fairly cut and dry.
I have emails between myself and Kirbopher from 2021 that have not been seen or shared with anyone else. We have zero reason to manipulate or obfuscate.
Here are some telling excerpts.
This 100% this. Chris Niosi was called out in 2014, 2016, and 2019. He is being called out again now in 2024. Again if you think this man has changed you are an idiot.
Confirming the people who Chris Niosi abused want nothing to do with any media he is in. They have all but guaranteed that most people who know the victims of this man will either never touch the game or will quit playing.

Thanks for guaranteeing I will never play this game,
@honkaistarrail
. I have no interest playing a game featuring the voice of a person who nearly bullied me into suicide when I was young and has done nothing to earn my or his other victims' forgiveness since.
@9uintin
Can’t you guys just leave NeuviFuri fans alone? They have done nothing to y’all. Sure the ship ain’t my cup of tea but jfc you people are fucking senseless. Just ignore that ship my god.
@ddiamondeez
So, you manipulated a minor (who is already in therapy for this) and coerced them to give you their private nsfw account which only had 3 people added. Just to expose them for being a severe trauma victim acting like a severe trauma victim who is trying to process her childhood?
@ItsJustSeiji
@selfcaregamer1
This is a question as I’m not going there for worlds and google has not helped me for months; which hotels there are run by locals? asking because I would actually like to go there someday!
holy fucking shit- this has been going on for 21 fucking years. The same cycle over and over again with Chris Niosi. 21 fucking years. People still think this man can change?
Know what, I'm going to come forward about some shit that happened in that server under Chris's watch, alongside behaviors I witnessed.
I was groomed by someone under Kirb's watchful eye, and was witness to his own childish & inappropriate conduct. Have a thread! (1/18)

@broken_record07
You people are the fucking reason no one wants to play HI3 and only tolerate the fandom for HSR. Learn to use the block button dumbass.
If you had any doubt about Chris Niosi’s victims being triggered by this here is Yugiohtas saying he has been feeling triggered probably by the entire situation going on right now.
"I've contacted and reached out to the victims and they have forgiven me"
First I'm hearing about it. Not only have you not talked to me since your terrible apology last summer, I most certainly haven't forgiven you either.
All of the victims have a consistent story. It all lines up on the timeline and he continued to pull this shit into 2021. If anyone has any confirmation on him continuing it rn that would be great. So no this wasn’t just “5 years ago” this goes into 2021 from what I can find rn.
Yuzu is busy selling out Tokyo Dome, partnering with Disney+, revolutionizing the sport, doing photoshoots for ELLE & having them exhibited at the Boston Modern Art Museum and GUCCI Gallery.
You even got these people suggesting sh*t like this, lmaoo.
So while Kirb may not have personally wronged me, he certainly was a huge weirdo around a bunch of children on the internet and his behaviour has been consistent well into the 2020's, a whole decade removed from my first interactions with him. (18/18)
because I refuse to link another pos in this thread. A fucking FE VA came to his defense. The VA’s defending him currently; you know all you are doing with your defenses of this man is only fueling the fire correct?
And on the off chance you try to contact me again - don't.
You can keep your insincere, self-serving “apologies” to yourself. I’m no idiot and I know a manipulative bastard when I see one. Keep the hell away from me. I want nothing to do with you.
@soupiss
It was much later I believe. I am very disappointed that I was the only returning cast member. I'll be honest, that is news to me. I have intentionally blocked anything related to it.
The recording was brief and I felt nothing. Kirb started crying when I signed off.
Kirb asked me to be part of a project with someone who had made it clear they wanted to hurt me and ruin my reputation. And when I explained this, the response was "okay yeah but can you do it anyway?"
if people could stop upsetting my girlfriend that would be great.
Chris Niosi is an abusive, disgusting asshole. End of story. Piss off with your questions.
@ParanoLives
This is so familiar. I knew him back when we were in high school and I was a fan of tta despite it's clunkiness (I had a p low standard for stuff made by people in my immediate friend group) and wrote a fanfic. He later wanted to make it into a story arc bc he can't write.

@JK_DarkSide
Post by Filthy Animal (used to be on wha-chow with Kirb) regarding Kirb's behavior:
Older post by Cailen (also used to be on wha-chow) that is still relevant and still great
Mugiwara thank you for keeping your tweets from 2016 up holy shit. Audrey, Mugiwara, Tara, and the rest of the victims have been through this cycle time and time again from this man. HOW IS HE STILL BEING HIRED FOR VA WORK?
SPOOKY-waraJM Will Show You the Herald of Darkness
I may not have a personal interest in the Hoyoverse games, but I will happily applaud them for holding them accountable for casting known abuser Chris Niosi not even seconds after it was announced.
He has done nothing to earn my and his other victims' forgiveness.
What Tara herself has to say about this. The fact that unrelated VA’s all said “oh he’s changed” means nothing. Especially to the people he has abused.
Would like to address this point. He was going to a fucking child for his emotional problems. A CHILD. This has entirely confirmed that not only is the man a pos, he is a fucking creep in the extremely bad way too. Fuck you Chris Niosi.
Look, I'm going to speak out properly. Don't believe Chris Niosi's pretty words. He does this every time: he tells his followers what they want to hear, manipulating them into believing in him. He promises to do better, and every time, he fails.
Don't listen.
Don't listen.
just found out AvenStelle fans get hate??? Y’all they are fighting harder than us AvenCae fans… More fucking respect to y’all and if you guys have any favorite fics please send them my way.
@teyvattabloid
I honest to god don't care about the pulls, I am just so happy about the new pet! To put into context I am almost AR56 and have been playing Genshin sense it's begining with breaks do to life being a pain!
So I saw people linking the megathread on reddit and honestly that is overwhelming but; welcome people who found my twitter all because I got pissed they added an abuser to one of my favorite games at the moment. Also, thanks to the people who sent me Griffin Pautu’s post.
@miiwii912
@somari8591
Yes, I'm fully aware of that.
Are YOU aware that following this apology, he continued to behave abusively, toward me specifically?
So people finally discovered XXY chromosomes/Intersexuality? Congrats you discovered basic human biology! When will you discover PCOS makes you Intersex? Stay tuned for Winter Olympics for transphobes to make this discovery!
Honestly despite me making a whole megathread involving the whole situation I keep somehow blocking out that he enabled all these people and let them work on his projects.
Kirb has a history of knowingly working with and even defending awful people because it suits his needs. Whether its PsyGuy, ShadyVox, or the aforementioned M - Kirb always put his needs or chasing popularity first with little care for others. (16/18)
@SimplyAllegra
I have said it once and I will say it again; if an actor can make me hate a villain character so much that I want that character gone, then that actor has done an amazing job. Actors are not their characters but they can do a damn good job playing the characters they do.
@JaketheVGAfella
Kirb has been all about creating a likeable public image forever while treating everyone, especially women, like garbage in private. $400 and 'many great people' shouldn't be enough to sway someone towards a person whose easily found list of abuses extends for over a decade.
