It's easy to forget sometimes that VTubers are people too. Behind every real-time animated anime character is a streamer like any other, with interests that might contradict those of the character they portray.

One example of this is Lauren Iroas, a (male) NISANJI affiliate who recently got caught slipping on stream. While opening the desktop after a game of Valorant, a Windows Explorer window appeared for a split-second.

Computer, enhance and zoom into the left pane.

Those folders right there are unmistakably JAV codes, one of Japan's greatest inventions if you ask me. If you ever forget the title of a certain porno or the featured actresses, you can easily track it down using the code. So, you might be asking, what does Lauren here get off to?

Nipple torture. To each their own, I guess. The bigger isue here (other than bringing shame upon himself and the company he represents) is that the porn in question was downloaded illegally. Both Lauren and NISANJI issued apologies on Twitter, with the former claiming he pirated the videos before becoming a VTuber. Going forward, NISANJI will be checking their employee's streaming computers to make sure nothing like this happens again. To make matters worse Lauren's whole gimmick is he's a police officer, but from now on he'll forever have a reputation as a dirty cop. At least there's one thing he got out of it - JAV idol Ichika Matsumoto, who Lauren seems to be a fan of seeing as she starred in both the above videos, quote-retweeted him to say "next time, pay for it on Fanza".

What do you guys make of this? What would you do if your porn collection accidentally got exposed? Let us know in the comments!
