Further allegations and why Auronplay announced an indefinite break from Twitch

Auronplay came under fire when several of Biyin's problematic tweets from 2013 were retrieved and shared within the streaming community. The tweets, which included N*zi apologist content, personal threats, racist comments, and other problematic threads, were largely attributed to the streamer's long-term partner Biyin, while a few were attributed to Auron himself.

A thread containing fresh allegations, posted by @LittleRagerMan on Twitter, is now going viral. It contains various proofs of Auronplay's alleged grooming of an individual named Claudia, who goes by the handle @xkayusa. The interaction between Auron and @xkayusa also happened in 2013, around the same time as the other flagged tweets.

Grooming, in this context, refers to the act of establishing an emotional connection with a minor as a pretext for s*xual abuse.

The victim shared proof of her inappropriate interactions with Auronplay on her Twitter handle when it was suspended. Many suspect that the latter had something to do with Claudia's account being removed as she was detailing her harassment at the hands of the streamer and his fans, although no confirmation is available on that front.

The attached image on the left in the above tweet has the victim's ID, providing her birth year as 1998. This confirms that she was 14 years old and a minor at the time of the alleged incident.

The exact nature of the interaction between the two is not yet known, but the victim was able to share a video of the relevant emails shortly before her account was taken down.

It should be noted that these claims will only become verified if and when vetted by the legal authorities.

The upcoming SquidCraft Twitch Rivals tournament, of which Auronplay was one of three organizers, will go on without him. His co-organizer, komanche, explained the decision during a recent stream.

He also added that Auron's current indefinite break, which was going to be for a few days, may extend to several months. He also clarified that Auron himself had asked him to break the news and assume his responsibilities in the event. A clip of the same is provided below:

While some reacted with suspicion, others outright rejected the claims. Fans of the streamer cited the victim's decision to share her story on social media instead of legal authorities, along with the deletion of her account, as reasons for refuting the allegations.

Auronplay himself is yet to comment on these new allegations, and it remains to be seen if this matter will be brought to the authorities. Members of the streaming community eagerly await any updates, as this matter, if true, could mean grave legal consequences for one of the most popular Spanish creators in the world.
