YouTubers Mutahar Anas, better known as SomeOrdinaryGamers, and Nux Taku, also known as Nuxanor, have recently come under fire for a past collaboration involving controversial content. The situation came to light after a Reddit user resurfaced an old YouTube video alleging the duo reacted to material categorized as Lolicon—a highly criticized fictional medium depicting underaged characters in sexualized contexts.
The Controversial Video
The video in question dates back to January 2021, when Mutahar collaborated with Nux Taku. In a recent response uploaded on December 3, 2024, titled “Post Nux Clarity” (now set to private), Mutahar addressed the resurfaced controversy. He explained that during their collaboration, Nux had sent him a video to react to without prior context or preparation.
The video reportedly referenced a show called Nee Summer, which Mutahar later acknowledged featured sexualized portrayals of high school-aged characters. He admitted that his decision to react to such material was an oversight and expressed regret, stating, “If it’s hentai and it involves high school people, then it falls under the ‘Loli’ banner, and that is never okay.”
Mutahar explained that he and Nux had assumed the content was permissible for reaction videos because similar material existed on YouTube without moderation. However, he conceded that relying on this assumption was a mistake, emphasizing his firm stance against Lolicon and similar content.
Criticism of Nux Taku
Mutahar’s video also took aim at Nux Taku for his role in the collaboration. He criticized Nux for failing to provide proper context for the content and for using provocative thumbnails on his own channel, some of which Mutahar found deeply problematic. Additionally, Mutahar brought up an unrelated incident where Nux was accused of spreading misinformation that implicated another YouTuber in serious grooming allegations, highlighting what he viewed as a pattern of questionable behavior.
Mutahar firmly stated that he has no plans to repair his friendship with Nux Taku. Their professional relationship, which previously included co-hosting the SomeOrdinaryGamers podcast, has been severed.

The controversy has sparked heated discussions across social media, with fans expressing mixed reactions. While some defended Mutahar for addressing the situation openly and taking responsibility, others criticized him for being involved in the incident in the first place. Nux Taku, who has not issued a public response at the time of writing, has also faced renewed scrutiny over his content practices.
The controversy highlights the risks of collaborating without fully vetting content, especially for creators with significant platforms. By publicly condemning the material and acknowledging his mistakes, Mutahar has attempted to draw a clear line between himself and the controversial content. However, this incident serves as a reminder of the importance of due diligence and accountability in the world of online content creation.
