===Feud with Animeniaks===
On January 29, 2021, Animeniaks made a video detailing how Rev Says Desu harassed a fellow YouTuber DaddyJizz after criticizing darlingstrawb over what was described as "insulting ethnic foods". Rev then blocked DaddyJizz.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5crvX8oFq4 Rev then made a response video to the whole situation on January 31, 2021.https://web.archive.org/web/20210130233842/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiVwP4Tsl70 Animeniaks soon followed with a response criticizing Rev's response video as "misrepresenting the truth of what actually happened". Animeniaks Jizz, and a few other people entered into Rev's Discord server to talk to Rev regarding the situation, however, he did not respond. Instead, they decided to "screw around" and start up a "Muslim prayer session" for Jizz. They were soon banned as Animeniaks said "we did not get banned for simply sitting around in vc and having fun with everyone. We got banned for starting up the Muslim prayer". Animeniaks then attempted to talk to Rev on darlingstrawb's server. Rev described this as "being a raid" but Animeniaks denied this accusation by saying "I really fail to see how several teenagers entering into a Discord server and causing the tiniest amount of trolling counts as a raid" and "It's not my fault that some of your fans decided to join in with the trolling because they were more entertained by us because you never talked in your Discord servers". Animeniaks then accused Rev of copying videos from himself and LeafyIsHere.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Djoiw74Z-ME 
===Alleged lies about Suris===
On July 13, 2022, Rev Says Desu published a video titled "VTuber Attacks Gawr Gura And It Doesn't End Well" in response to a retweet from a VTuber named Suris, who was debating about Gawr Gura with another user, saying "The goal post moves to gura being a lolicon (still need evidence that gura is fixated on young children, none is presented) Also, Gura is what ALL vtubers aspire to be? Hardly. I like independence where I can get it, and having my entire persona owned by hololive is a no-go" to which Rev describes it as "A person like this thinking that VTubers don't aspire to be Gura actually makes a lot of sense because they're so Twitter poisoned and detached from the pulse of their potential audience that their brains can't compute as to how a loli model can achieve such levels of success in a field that centers around anime and all that it encompasses. Including lolis and lolicon" followed by "With a quick Google search, this VTuber could've enlightened themselves that age is completely irrelevant to the definition of loli".https://web.archive.org/web/20230419020914/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ufdSneH8mo Suris made a response video in response to Rev on July 16, 2022 in which he said "The original poster said 'Gura is what the average VTuber aspires to be' and my mistake was reading that 'Gura is what ALL vtubers aspire to be'" and described it as a "lovely game of telephone where I fucked up and and then you fucked up directly after me". He followed it up with "My position is that Gura is not what all VTubers aspire to be which I think is a fairly true statement. Not everybody is wants to have their entire identity erased by a corporation only to have a more sterilized version concocted for them. Some people would rather have all of that taken care of them by a corporation so that they can do whatever they want in their real life. There's a nice divide between real life and the life you have on Twitch at that point. You don't have it all wrapped together." and that "Life is easier and better in those regards where you have a lot of things taken care of for you by a corporation. But at the same time if your identity is wrapped up in your VTuber model in any way shape or form having that owned by Hololive or anybody else probably not the way you want to go." Suris also made a rebuttal to Rev's claim that people like him would "bury their head in the sand head in the sand and claim that no evidence suggests Gawr Gura supports lolicon only to support their own argument while simultaneously claiming that no VTuber aspires to be like them when in reality, it sounds like a lot of jealousy." with "That would be a very interesting statement if I had said that. I said not that Gawr Gura is not a lolicon. I said that there was not enough evidence to suggest that she herself is, which until she graduates, we won't have that evidence because until she is not beholden to a Hololive contract we're not going to know. The things she really believes, we're going to know are filtered through the corp. That's how characters like that function as uncomfortable as it is to think about, that's reality." followed up with "My point is that the community itself, not the material, has bred an incredibly toxic environment of people who are willing to jump at and lash out at multiple people on the internet merely because, and here's my guess, they've been burned so many times with the allegations of pedophilia that their first reaction is to think that somebody is coming and trying to burn them again as opposed to giving some other kind of criticism when I made my statement during the conversation with Monika on Twitter about how it's fun to anger the lolicons is it because I think they're all predators no it's because I think it's fun to anger toxic communities because the way they lash out is largely predictable." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfn8Fnl6z4k Rev has not made a response video to Suris' response.
