==Controversies==
===Slazo allegations===
On June 10, 2019, an ex-girlfriend of YouTuber Slazo, named Chey, posted a TwitLonger accusing Slazo of sexually abusing and manipulating her. The post garnered attention with people supporting of Chey and wanted Slazo cancelled, including Kwite. But on June 27, Slazo posted a video debunking most of the claims by Chey where she lied and took things out of context. Many people would forgive Slazo, but Kwite had said they weren't sure what to think of the video and needed to think it out before coming up with a final conclusion, but this post received mixed responses.
After the apology came out, people found that Kwite was a part of a group of people trying to get Slazo ousted off the internet. Some of those people included Chey herself, ImAllexx, Weest, Squizzy, Kingani, among others. One leak posted was Kwite talking with Squizzy and Chey on Discord about posting a different version of the document. Many people would go after these creators including Kwite for their acts against Slazo and their grudges. On July 29, Kwite posted a Twitlonger apologizing for their contributions in the group, saying they acted impulsive and bitter. They said they still support Chey and Slazo, but still isn't sure what their final thoughts are on the drama. Most of Kwite's fans forgave them and appreciated how mature they acted.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtGzmw43MJU
===Orion===
On February 22, 2023, a Twitter user by the handle @Nyasputiin, also known as Orion, posted a Twitlonger, in which he claimed that Kwite had been emotionally and physically abusing him, including but not limited to rape, transphobia, and gaslighting.https://twitter.com/Nyasputiin/status/1628482047005130754 This resulted in the shutdown of Kwite’s discord server, due to each channel being flooded with messages and the moderators ignoring them.https://twitter.com/oleanderyeah/status/1628523417342251008https://twitter.com/morriiisey/status/1628523519267971073https://twitter.com/itbasilthyme/status/1628524178369290242 One Discord moderator, Kishisune, privated on Twitter and started distancing themselves from Kwite. Another Twitter user, nereidlive, claimed to be Orion's partner, and said that they witnessed firsthand the damage that Kwite had done to Orion, and that Orion still has PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) from it.https://twitter.com/nereidlive/status/1628540557315153921?s=20https://twitter.com/nereidlive/status/1628565495363387395?s=20 
In a reply to the original Twitlonger, Orion also posted an Imgur link containing some Discord messages showing things including Kwite flirting with him and Kwite's exposed face.https://imgur.com/a/vaSSxMa
On the same day, another Twitter user posted another claim that one of Kwite's Discord moderators had groomed them when they were only 15, and that Kwite dismissed the situation and even sent their information to the said Discord moderator.https://web.archive.org/web/20230224005446/https://twitter.com/YouLeadMeTTA/status/1628609226275975171 
On one of Kwite's Discord moderators' Twitter profile, she put "#StandwithOrion" in her bio, despite the majority opposition from the rest of the Discord moderators.https://twitter.com/alien_bunny_/status/1628624326726656000 During the situation, Kwite's Fandom page was hijacked with examples like "dropkwite" and other obscenities.https://twitter.com/TwoFiveVette/status/1628842498498957312
YouTuber Michael Alberto talked to Orion on Twitter about getting the authorities involved in the situation. They said that "the statutes of limitations has passed in their state", and that the situation crossed state lines, which can be difficult for a conviction. They also noted that Kwite gaslit into not telling his family. They also noted that they did not do a rape kit, which reduces the chance of a conviction. They got advice from different lawyers but told them the same thing and that Kwite has lot more money so the court battle was unlikely to win.https://twitter.com/UnwellMiguel/status/1628724449116659714 
Another Twitter user made a Google Document about the situation containing more information.https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SQy8_PjY9vOX2ykuL7-FjLmUPlBmPuk2VhXw3dVXpPE/https://twitter.com/CapitalTwt/status/1629185765551796224
====Response====
On March 11, 2023, Kwite published a 91-minute-long video explaining the allegations, saying the rumors were all twisted up and/or fraudulent.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4ZVkLxwCBI&t=3780s
Kwite laid out the controversy via the chapters below:
*Intro
*My account of February 18th, 2018
*Black Panther texts
*Orion’s Forwardness with Sex
*My sexual anxiety/Virginity
*Orion’s original 2018 testimony about me
*Orion’s disregard for my boundaries
*Claims I deleted my Discord DMs with Orion
*Claims I limited Methods of Communication
*Alleged Transphobia/Use of Slurs
*Orion’s Codependence
*Socially Transactional Relationship
*My account of March 2018 Call
*Escalation
*Regarding Lord Bung
*My account of My Final call with Orion
*Orion’s attempts to Reconnect
*Further Escalation
*Conclusion
*Sidenote: Regarding the Slazo Situation
*Parting words
Kwite starts with the video by saying what the controversy is about and that the allegations are false. They state that they have considerable evidence and an exact recording of Orion's statement in 2018, a different story than now.
In the video summary, Kwite claims that Orion is at fault for issues within Kwite's life, including threats made to Kwite. Kwite showed further evidence of the issues via Discord messages, Skype messages, etc. They also prove their innocence of the alleged sexual assault, which is different from Orion's. As result, Kwite took a break from YouTube for a few months because of the situation.
Kwite also shared more proof via a Google Drive folder. The folder shows more evidence and other technical documents (i.e., cached files) from their computer.https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ysYdEMEuX7jAnOkSjmJkEEP1IJm5ocwK
In response, Orion posted his diagnosis papers, showing that he is diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Multiple users called out his actions by saying that the "paper is a copy/paste," multiple sentences being duplicated, and consisting of grammar issues.https://web.archive.org/web/20230311223827/https://twitter.com/Nyasputiin/status/1634679124638695426https://twitter.com/stareivia/status/1634694774002180096 Other users have seen the uncensored copy of the paper and stated that the doctor writing the paper is real, but does not specialize in the same thing Orion claimed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAzVcow5YtE Orion also noted that he did not see the response video and will possibly see it later that night with "the upmost respect".https://twitter.com/Nyasputiin/status/1634667113473253377
Kwite's response garnered overwhelming support. The video was praised for the amount of evidence given and how open and honest Kwite was, as well as them revealing embarrassing details about their personal and sexual life, to express their innocence. Many users apologized for previous comments they made about them or expressed pride in remaining neutral throughout the controversy. Conversely, Orion began receiving heavy reprehension for the allegations he made. 
More notably. This situation brought further discussion on how dangerous false allegations towards content creators like Kwite can be harmful for not just the creators themselves, but any victims that actually are facing harm or are being groomed by a well known content creator or well known internet figure, and can prevent them from ever coming forward about it. The situation also brought further questioning and criticism on both the "innocent until proven guilty" and the "guilty until proven innocent" mentality that is shared whenever a content creator or public figure is exposed; the latter receiving more.
On March 19, 2023, after a week of controversy due to Kwite's response, Orion deleted his account due to the controversy.https://www.reddit.com/r/Kwite/comments/11vsyjs/i_think_orion_deleted_their_account/ He later rebranded himself under the name Vaska.https://twitter.com/oriontwtarchive/status/1640320367305818113 On the same day, more information would be brought to light about him, alleging that he lied to his supporters and friends in private DMs.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAzVcow5YtE
On September 30th 2023, Kwite returned with a 2 hour long video titled "The 𝙄𝙘𝙚𝙗𝙚𝙧𝙜 Iceberg Explained" talking about icebergs.
