* ''Fanfic/QueensOfMewni'''s author/artist, Jon, aka jgss0105, suddenly deleted his account and claimed he was quitting to focus on his family. Days later, former fan [=CoffeeCatsAndCake=] accused him of grooming her when she was a minor, which was later proven true when screenshots were leaked proving them (and that he had no remorse about his actions). Some creators of ''Fanfic/QueensOfMewniSpinoffs'' have elected to disown the fic entirely, while others have elected to rewrite the main fic to remove the more problematic elements (such as the teen pregnancy and most of the incest), and still others opted to continue their spinoffs (one in particular is doing it in Coffee's honor, as Coffee had created most of the queens).

* Commentary [=YouTuber=] Iilluminaughtii got into hot water in April 2023 after falsely accusing an editor for WebVideo/LegalEagle of plagiarizing video effects she used. As this happened, she made a video calling out several [=YouTubers=] she had previously associated with, including The Click, Wonderstruck Guy, and Oz Media. This led to said [=YouTubers=] releasing statements alleging that she had a history of abuse and harassment, with the allegations leading to her sponsorships with [=HelloFresh=], Stitch Fix and [=ExpressVPN=] being dropped. As said videos quickly grew popular and more allegations and evidence were brought to light (including plagiarism, emotional and financial abuse of her partner and general abuse and gaslighting of previous collaborators), Iiluminaughtii's viewership dropped to less than a tenth of what it used to be, and her subscriber count has declined.

Oh, and the video effect she accused WebVideo/LegalEagle of plagarizing? A common effect found in any video editing software.

* Website/{{Smogon}}, the most popular site dedicated to competitive ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'', has had a number of staff members and prominent users removed due to series on- and off-site offenses:
** One of the earliest major examples was the case of former tournament director Bloo. Following the breakout success of a player named Style in the eleventh Official Smogon Tournament (OST), chat logs were leaked of Bloo giving advice to Style's opponents prior to her matches with them, which she won handily. This raised suspicions that Style was Bloo's alt, and as a result she was disqualified right before the finals of the tournament. Shortly afterwards, Style and Bloo were banned from Smogon. Bloo admitted in a Pastebin that she and Style were one in the same and that she [[RiggedContest rigged the tournament in order to face opponents she had already given advice to]]. She also revealed that she had intended to shed her tournament director position in favor of being a prominent player, with OST 11 being intended to catapult her to relevance.
** Goddess Briyella was a moderator that specialized in the Little Cup format. It was discovered that he was masquerading as a lesbian in order to get close to and sexually message women, including those who were underage, which resulted in him being permanently banned from the site.
** Shortly after Goddess Briyella was exposed, Haunter, the former head of staff, was also discovered to have send manipulative and sexual messages to women, including one who was underage. This resulted in him getting banned and, along with the aforementioned Briyella, becoming {{Unperson}}ed on the site, with messages discussing them being removed from the forums.
** During the eighth annual Smogon Premier League (SPL VIII), the Circus Maximus Tigers team saw incredible success in the Ubers tier thanks largely in part to a user named Mazar, who [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomped]] his opponents with unconventional sets seemingly tailor-made to beat them. This raised some eyebrows among opponents and spectators alike, who suspected some form of ghosting[[labelnote:*]]A form of cheating in which a player chats with other players, whom assist and guide the battling player, during important games[[/labelnote]] was occurring, but nothing initially came from these suspicions and the Tigers would go on to win that year's League. However, six months later, it was discovered that Mazar, in addition to being ghosted, was using a specialized bot (nicknamed the "Mazarbot") to scan all of his opponents private games and join during the brief window in which the game was public (due to games needing to be manually set to private) on an unregistered account in order to feed Mazar his opponent's teams[[note]]The reason Mazar began playing Ubers was because Overused simply had too many games to parse in order for the bot to do its job[[/note]]. This resulted in Mazar getting banned, SPL VIII being retroactively cancelled, the Tigers having all of their trophies stripped, and Ubers being excluded from all future SPL tournaments due to the incident. Additionally, Pokémon Showdown implemented a feature that allowed players to preemptively set their games to private, preventing the bot from functioning ever again.
** Several forum staff were either banned or stripped of their positions in August of 2020 after it was discovered that they hosted a private Website/{{Discord}} server dedicated to posting hateful comments about and doxxing certain members of the community. Because this included the vast majority of the staff of Firebot[[labelnote:*]]Smogon's designated off-topic/shitposting forum[[/labelnote]], the forum was shuttered before being replaced with Smogoff roughly a month later, which had stricter rules compared to Firebot.
** Lord Emvee was a fairly popular competitive Pokémon Website/{{Youtube}}r and Smogon user who specialized in utilizing unconventional EV investments he dubbed "Chinese spreads", after the Chinese playerbase's tendency to use odd and highly-specific spreads. In April of 2024, it was discovered that he was in a sexual relationship with another user who was 16 while Emvee was 22 at the time, a fact that he was aware of. As a result, he was banned from Smogon, his former collaborators (including [=pokeaimMD=]) distanced themselves from him, and he locked his Website/{{Twitter}} account, with his remaining social media accounts going radio silent.
