Accountability & Public Safety Document: Candaru Driemor / @renaru000 Smear Campaign Evidence
This post is being shared to ensure public safety, transparency, and accountability within the indie animation and fandom communities.
Recently, the content creator Candaru Driemor (also known as Renaru / @renaru000) utilized her platform of 9.4k subscribers to launch a targeted public smear campaign against a smaller creator. While that video was officially investigated and forcefully removed by YouTube Legal for severe Privacy Violations (doxxing/leaking personal data), her actions behind the scenes pose a direct threat to collaborative spaces, zines, and voice-acting projects.
To ensure her history of malicious behavior and platform abuse is not erased by algorithms or subscriber counts, a full breakdown and chronological timeline of her actions has been archived.
Full 53 minute video of documentation/evidence link is pinned in the description box of this blog profile so it bypasses the platform spam filter.
As a former fan of Candaru, this came as a huge shock. The community should see for themselves. YouTube Legal also stepped in, removing her video against the creator for malicious harassment and privacy violation.
Summary of Documented Conduct Exhibited in the Video:
Direct Threat of Blacklisting: Text records showing her explicitly threatening a smaller artist's career, stating: "I could ruin your entire life right now... You could get blacklisted and never have another artist, editor, or voice actor work for you ever again."
Refusal of Legal Privacy Requests: Direct evidence showing her malicious refusal to remove private images and real legal names from her public smear video when politely confronted.
Targeted Social Isolation: Attempts to directly contact the victim's spouse to interfere in their marriage and pressure them to leave.
Coordinated Mob Harassment: Openly boasting about executing a hostile project takeover ("raised a coup") and explicitly threatening to deploy followers to ruin a peer's life: "if she shows herself again I have an army of people who will ruin her life."
This is shared so that project leads, zine organizers, voice actors, and animators can make informed decisions before collaborating, networking, or sharing private community spaces with her.
Screenshots added: It gets WORSE. (And these are only TWO out of the 53 minute video.) As you see in the screenshots, a deleted comment on her now removed video shows Candaru is directly harassing the victim's spouse (Amanda), trying to tear their marriage apart and threatening to financially ruin them: "YOU'D be saddled with debt for life, and then your children, if you ever have any...You can stay in your financially abusive relationship as long as you'd like." WOW. Second screenshot- Remember that Candaru ADMITTED in this Discord chat which the verbiage is highlighted. "I have done it before. I've raised a coup and COMPLETELY taken over a project." Look at how that pattern then plays out directly after in real life. Candaru is fully exposing their own behavior. It is a pre-meditated, calculated, cruel pattern of targetting others and trying/threatening to destroy their online career AND relationship. Please reblog so we can get the target's truth and these receipts on every dashboard!!!

UPDATE: New information from an anonymous source has been added to this thread.
ADDED FOR REBLOG: A video clip of the defense video showing a segment of Candaru Driemor's legally removed YouTube video where you hear her admitting that she acted with premeditated malice: "Although in my anger I broke my facade JUST A LITTLE, because my voice cracked when I chuckled to myself and told her that I could destroy her online reputation if I wanted to." @fandomcritical @artistsbeware

ADDITIONAL ARCHIVED CONTEXT: (This image was sent to me by an anonymous source.) A March 2023 public post by Candaru Driemor (@Candaru_Rambles) under the Epithet Erased media critique tag (#lorecrit). While discussing a fictional character (Lorelai), it documents the intense, hostile hyperbole and aggressive rhetorical style she utilized in fandom spaces right before escalating to real-world creator intimidation.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Real Context Behind the Financial Dispute
The Challenge: Funding an independent animation project out of pocket on a single full-time paycheck is incredibly difficult. Rayne got behind on some payments because she chose to hire more people to ensure no single freelancer was overloaded with work.
The Reality: In an indie space where many passion projects pay freelancers absolutely nothing, Rayne was actively sacrificing her own leftover paycheck after bills to make sure her team got compensated. She didn't run from the debt; she was actively scheduling and budgeting to clear it.
The Failure of the Smear: Candaru took an honest, tight-budget creative struggle and twisted it into a malicious public narrative to justify an aggressive, behind-the-scenes takeover.
The Ultimate Victory: The Project Lives On
Despite Candaru explicitly threatening that Rayne would "never have another artist, editor, or voice actor work for you ever again," she completely failed to destroy her career.
To ensure absolute financial stability and remove any leverage from toxic critics, Rayne has officially revived her project in a streamlined new format that she can easily afford to fund entirely on her own. The 18-minute smear piece was forcefully wiped by YouTube Legal, the 53-minute defense video established the unedited facts, and Rayne is safely making her art on her own terms.
