(TW: Fandom Drama, Predatory Behavior, Minors, NSFW content, AI art theft)

I haven’t posted about this on Tumblr before, but after the Ai situation with Ninamo coming to light and months of trying to expose it, I felt like this would be the next best platform to reach more HuniePop fans/artists and alert people in general about the current situation.

I’ve personally been a fan of HuniePop since 2015, and was part of the community starting in 2018 when I created the Huniecord Discord server. I took a step back from the fandom for a while, but recently returned, only to find that the current state of the community is disturbing and unrecognizable between individuals harassing me personally cross platform for opposing opinions or to just create tension and drama out of boredom.

The Huniepotheads Discord server, which is still linked on the official HuniePot site, is not a safe space, and honestly should not be connected to the game at all.

🧷 Here’s what’s going on:

-The server is run by a user named Lounger, who is known to be in charge.

-He has made explicitly inappropriate and indefensible statements about pedophilia and defending pedophilia. (proof here)

-The server has a “v-card” role specifically for minors who have been caught as members, in a space where NSFW content is freely accessible. (even given this role it blocks out NSFW channels but not adult conversations they have in the server about sex and explicit conversations when minors shouldn't even be there in the first place.

-There’s no real age verification, which means minors can easily access pornography and can lie dormant and lurk without saying anything and witness adult conversations about sex even after being given a "V-card" role which is highly disturbing to be even giving a minor a role like that let alone letting them stay in a porn game server.

Lounger had also been creating AI art of official HuniePop art without the artist's consent.

At first I thought it wasn't a big deal and even was curious or thought Huniepop/ AI art in general was "Cool" until I saw all the ethical problems and the fact it was literally infringing on artist's rights and affecting the environment.

🎨 Artist response: I personally reached out to Ninamo directly July 2025, and she made it clear she did not give permission for her art to be used in AI generation.

Into December 2025, AI generated content of Ninamo's art was still being made after this post saying to stop.

Luckily, as of January 2026, although an admin tried to make it seem like "they've personally spoke and respected their wishes" being a good samaritan, taking credit for speaking to Ninamo about the AI content being made in Huniepotheads, The Ai Hunies discord chat has FINALLY been stopped. ❤️‍🩹

🦋 Kyu's Voice Actress response:

Jaclyn Aimee, the voice actress for Kyu in HuniePop, also shared her thoughts on the situation, stressing that it shouldn’t be taken lightly. She acknowledged how difficult it can be when the “good ones” don’t always see justice, but reminded the community that negativity often reflects more about the people spreading it than the person it’s directed at. Sometimes we’re unable to control the actions of others, and the only thing we can do is live our lives as the morally well-intentioned beings that we are. She encouraged us not to let this weigh down their kindness and passion, but instead to recognize that standing up to issues like this only shows how big of a person we truly are. Her message was clear:

📢 Spreading awareness:

we've been trying to raise this issue in other spaces too, including reaching out to creators like Wondering Muse who made a video discussing the situation:

💬 What we’re doing about it: Because of all this, Huniecord was revived. We’ve created a space that:

Requires real 18+ ID age verification (Any ID's sent for verification are through a ticket system bot which deletes any images sent after ticket is closed. Nobody can re-access them.)

Is closely actively moderated and predator-free

Keeps the fandom respectful of artists and safe for real fans

Encourages the same fun, silly, and supportive vibe HuniePop was originally loved for

Many of us, longtime fans who remember the early days, are devastated to see the official community fall into this state. The fandom deserves better. The artists deserve better. And the dev should know and be held accountable to stop what’s going on in a server still carrying his brand.

ADDED NOTE: This is in no way an accusation/dig at the Dev himself. Although some of the accountably of what's happening in his game fandom should fall on him in my personal opinion with knowing the owner of the server and who's running his community, It’s the owner of the server who is the problem. Do not go harassing the creator of the game, reflecting blame, or try to paint a picture that’s false of what I’m trying to expose.

UPDATE: Huniedev has responded but no action has been taken whatsoever and minors are still being allowed into the server and to stay in the server.
