Controversies

Chris Niosi

When Chris Niosi was announced as the voice of Moze in Honkai: Star Rail, fans were not happy. Niosi was in a scandal in July of 2019 with him being accused of sexual, emotional, and physical abuse and admitting to it later that year. Puatu tried to calm the controversy by making a post on Reddit defending Niosi and criticizing his victims for not forgiving Niosi.^[3] Fans then accused Puatu for victim blaming and still said Niosi should still be held accountable, and then Puatu commented on the post saying that he wasn't trying to blame the victims.^[4] As a result Puatu was fired from his roles as Gael in Lost in Limbo, Malec in Sigh of the Abyss and Shu in REEDS, with Niosi resigning from his role as Moze.^[5][6]
