==Controversy==
===Copyright-striking The Real Thomas===
On December 28, 2021, MisAnthro has repeatedly threatened the detractor The Real Thomas in broad daylight to delete his own videos under his own admission and went on a full-on tirade about how his videos have supposedly spreaded lies and falsehoods about him.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UMejY57lCE He then went into his Twitter DMs about how he thinks it's not considered plagiarism if you implement lines from one of TheMysteriousMrEnter's videos and change the wording slightly into something that fits his video's topic regarding the Nostalgia Critic and his Deadpool 2 videohttps://youtu.be/iYIhj0z03P8?si=LD9zXFNMYsr1Vd2G&t=2998 and everything else regarding how he thinks of Thomas in general. He even, at one point, uses one of his former friends LioConvoy as a weapon against him claiming that if he doesn't delete his videos, him and Lio were going to submit a counter-notification.
As only a few pieces of information were confirmed during the "We Need To Talk About MisAnthro Pony" stream, Lio expressed disappointment and anger towards his former long-time friend's comments regarding his detractor and arranged a face-to-face call with Zaid to discuss his behavior. The person whom Lio's dragged argued that he supposedly lied about him, Lio had responded with "Yes, he lied about you. MAKE FUN OF HIM!". So he was forced to give Thomas an proper apology and that he was to remove the strikes on The Real Thomas' "MisAnthro Pony is Awful" videos now. The former happened while the latter had been forgotten about, he made an apology video to The Real Thomas three days later admitting that it was wrong of him to abuse the copyright system the way he handled it and how his actions were considered irrational and very irresponsible. Lio claimed that he, himself, was the main factor as to why Zaid even uploaded the apology video at all.https://twitter.com/LioManBad/status/1486184615584968712 
===Blackmailing Cartoonshi===
On January 24, 2022, Cartoonshi シ tweeted "IMPORTANT: Recently, the YouTuber known as MisAnthro Pony has been using a sock account to publicly threaten and blackmail me on Twitter. A thread."https://web.archive.org/web/20220125051415/https://twitter.com/cartonofshi/status/1485780211778179072 
The thread revealed that a year prior, Cartoonshi had cut off MisAnthroPony for his harassment of his friends amongst his anger issues and tendency to go on tirades. But months after he blocked MisAnthroPony, he received new messages from a random account named @DelightfulCham2 that somehow knew about him and MisAnthro's mutual blocking of one another. This, furthered by the fact that @DelightfulCham's history was of nothing but defending MisAnthro from critics, led Cartoonshi to believe that it was MisAnthro using a sock account. Cartoonshi became fully convinced that it was MisAnthro after him and @DelightfulCham2 had an arguement and @DelightfulCham2 revealed that MisAnthro was working on a video where he would respond to his haters, and threatened to put Cartoonshi in the video as one of the "haters". 
The thread also detailed that MisAnthro would post long rants in Cartoonshi's server, which led to him being banned, since Cartoonshi didn't want to associate with someone full of hatred, and that Cartoonshi had his own triggers with people angrily yelling at him. After Toon began researching on his past controversies, he noticed that most of them stemmed from MisAnthro behaving in an aggressive manner, which validated his decision to cut him off even more. He ended the thread by saying "With this being said, Anthro, if you are reading this, I am fucking on to you. I don’t appreciate you blackmailing me in broad daylight and then feigning ignorance when questioned. If you are going to threaten me like this and go scorched Earth with a YouTube video about it, I will not hesitate to put all of this on YouTube to show people what a scumbag you truly are. If you are 100% convinced however that this person somehow ISN’T you, then I will happily retract everything and talk with you. Now unblock me, coward."
After the callout, Anthro and @DelightfulCham2 would have a heated exchange, but Toon believed it was all damage control.https://web.archive.org/web/20220125051416/https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJ6RX2OX0AU3pm9?format=jpg&name=900x900 Anthro would make a response video, and Cartoonshi would comment under it, but later Anthro deleted the video.https://web.archive.org/web/20220125170451/https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJ9n86-XMAASoGM.png Cartoonshi then announced that he will be making a video on the situation. Later, BlareTV would create her own thread on the situation which revealed that not only had Anthro admitted to creating the account. He also guilt tripped her and tried to convince her that Toon was manipulative.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FJ7HRYRWQAEi3o6?format=jpg&name=mediumhttps://twitter.com/blaretelevision/status/1485843117983027200
===Burner accounts and death threats===
On October 2022, shortly after his comeback video explaining how most of his actions during the Cartoonshi incident nine months earlier were wrong and immoral and that he would change for the better. He immediately went back on his promise regarding his use of alternate accounts and continued to create multiple burner accounts as a means to target certain individuals having nothing to do with him anymorehttps://twitter.com/WriterAdam100/status/1700940959062598108, including PowerLoudGirlhttps://twitter.com/SaltierThanKray/status/1626268231743819778 whom he's been told to leave that individual alone in a Discord call one time. Zaid would use his burner accounts as an advantage to submit relatively distasteful private messages, whether it'd be from informing them that he'll make the rest of their lives miserable on top of threatening to put them on his documentary videohttps://twitter.com/huntercwalls/status/1612629273738727424 to actively telling them they should be put in very horrific and graphic scenarios like being gunned down in the streets by a group of gang.
His burner accounts along with his verbally-abusive terminology weren't really talked about by many people other than individuals who were once part of his hatedom until nearly a year later, it had all gotten to the point where they would actually inform ThatCreepyReading of his graphically detailed threats. The information was then passed on to the two moderators of the Senate. First was Queen Serafina and then it was passed on to LioConvoy, whom he was part of Zaid's friend group for several years prior to the Cartoonshi incident along with the most recent incident. 
Zaid was brought into the "Senate/Salmon/Shart" server by one of his ex-friends and was confronted by the majority of the server members yet again for manipulating his audience into thinking he had changed, how he would use his friends as a shield against the people he has personal grudges with in which he did the same thing he accused his stalker Robert Hayden Simile of and for his persistent history of manufacturing burner accounts. And after Zaid's behavior was heavily criticized by hundreds of people, he got kicked out of the Senate leaving all of his friends to cut ties with him and wanting nothing to do with him anymore after what has transpired. Even the victim by the name of JordynDoodles, whom he has saved from a child predator Joshua Vidahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_zwuIWhsdM, was very upset with his behavior along with the information.https://i.ibb.co/SvkQTZ9/Screenshot-2023-10-13-183803.png Even Tek-no, who invited him on his podcast a day after Rosa Rey Ramsay was outed for keeping a child predator in her server full of children for eight months alongside Star Giant Productionshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E12MjaruZichttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRi6Jj0Hcl4, responded to the situation two days after Zaid's self-deletion.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JjFSDX3GbA
He then made a community post admitting that he was, in fact, using burner accounts to try and spite the people he personally have grudges against.https://64.media.tumblr.com/62edb65f17df17b98af073a532a63752/d2ce15c801fbe654-44/s1280x1920/14cfccccccc7be27aa602bc1aabb44c667bc73dd.jpg His community post was met with very mixed reception, the majority of the people within the comments section were praising him for just telling the truth but rather disappointed with his actions and some people were really livid with what he has done including Artistic Passion, who was one of Chris' friends for many years upon years on end.https://i.ibb.co/kBBqwrp/Screenshot-2023-10-13-193601.png
A month later, he would make a response video following his community post he made a month prior titled "Getting My Act Together (Hatedom Video Cancelled?)"https://i.ibb.co/VVKGfQc/Zaid-Magenta-Needs-to-Stop-0-58-screenshot.png, he promised his audience that he would stop using the angry terminology he uses in his private messages to people, along with promising he will stop creating more of his burner accounts. That video, again, has been met with mixed reception once more. Prior to Queen Serafina's response video to the apology video, some of his audience were praising him for doing the same thing he did in his community post but many, mostly from his friends and the people in Senate, didn't take his words as face value and believed that the video was emotionally manipulative. 
Queen Serafina made a response video to his apology video eight days laterhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0eAsAyckfI, along with her friend ThatCreepyReading, criticizing Zaid's manipulative tactics in which he used to his own advantage in order for his audience to get the sensation that he is sticking to what he promised and how he drags his own deceased father into his apology video in the wake of garnering as much sympathy from his viewers as possible as a result of him being caught for manufacturing burner accounts.https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F8SAdAwWYAA-hnE.jpg This can be highly regarded by some of his former friends to be one of the most distasteful and disingenuous actions ever to be taken by Zaid. The comments within Serafina's response video had the list of people voicing their contempt and disgust with Zaid Magenta, saying how he should get off the internet if he ever were to show actual repent to the audience whom he's willingly manipulated with his own volition. 
Shortly after the response video, Zaid would eventually delete his apology video admitting all of the reprehensible actions he has done based upon what he has been doing with his burner accounts, claiming that his video was a horrible mistake and how he is completely sick and mortified with himself for doing things many of his ex-affiliates criticized him for in that videohttps://64.media.tumblr.com/a6ea740f332160fe3f1b749101abbeca/076da1b5d22c03eb-7b/s1280x1920/e00e4a20f300a29f1ec01b85c134a0847ea8968a.png. The post was met with peoplehttps://i.ibb.co/jRVK4cP/Screenshot-2023-10-12-084311.png, including ThatCreepyReadinghttps://i.ibb.co/ZVJ79sc/Screenshot-2023-10-12-084253.png, telling him to actively get off the internet in order to improve his mental health and grow as a person or in some cases, informing him that he is a two-faced liar and a manipulator for simply manipulating his own audience to think that he is a good person.
====Aftermath====
Shortly a day after his community post were met by relatively negative reception. He would delete the majority of his socials on October 13, 2023, in response to his audience and Serafina's audience telling him to fully leave the internet as a whole, that is except for his DeviantArt account along with his several burner accounts on Twitter and on DeviantArt. They have yet to be deleted. The self-deletion of Zaid's account has led to a lot of people rejoicing and holding celebrationshttps://reddit.com/r/saltierthankrayt/comments/176nr3l/breaking_zaid_magenta_has_deleted_his_entire/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZEcl4FNnWA&pp=ygUMemFpZCBtYWdlbnRh or just collectively expressing their point of views about how glad they are that he's gone from the face of the internet and how he should never come back in order to prove that he actually shows contrition to what he has done several months ago.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t00yqTBTPJs&t=271s&pp=ygUMemFpZCBtYWdlbnRh

==Personal life==
He is on the autism spectrum, it was confirmed by one of his former associates LioConvoy in his response of what happened during the Cartoonshi incident along with his actual age.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-BJfJZH6pA&t=3001s
His first dog was named Maddie before her eventual death in 2019.
He has a deceased father, who passed away on July 29, 2023, whom he used as a manipulation tactic to get his audience to sympathize with him in his now-deleted apology video.
==Trivia==
*He was initially, through December 2021 to October 2023, planning on producing his series of videos documenting what his hatedom had done to supposedly "ruin" his life when he has been told by LioConvoy that he doesn't need to hold his haters accountable if they're not his friends.https://www.youtube.com/live/2Hsxg_qh28A?si=Q0xda99bSM5ZWMiF&t=3403 Even in Queen Serafina's response video to his apology, she didn't like the idea of Zaid starting war against the list of random YouTubers whom he's ran into in which she stated it will make him look very psychotic. But, since he was caught sending death threats to people who were once part of the hatedom and wanting to have nothing to do with him anymore. That is very unlikely to happen.
*He is a fan of , as demonstrated within his favorites section in his DeviantArt page.https://www.deviantart.com/zaidmagenta/favourites But it has been stated in multiple of his videos that he is not a fan of the scummy business practices that Disney puts out.
*On the 26th of May 2023, his channel has been marked as no longer eligible for monetization. Meaning that he couldn't make profit from his channel at the time.https://64.media.tumblr.com/d070986adfa7bc1054ce855b67a67ef0/18ace9ab11565c79-7a/s640x960/3fa494f89885df515f0482ca2d5c9f1d27b5900d.png
