Ironmouse Leaves VShojo Amid $500K Charity Fund Controversy
Ironmouse Leaves VShojo, Popular Vtuber Ironmouse has officially parted ways with VShojo, citing serious financial and ethical concerns. In a candid YouTube video, the beloved streamer revealed that the talent agency failed to deliver over $500,000 in charity funds raised for the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF), despite her year-long attempts to resolve the matter.
Ironmouse, who suffers from common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), has been a long-time advocate for IDF, frequently organizing subathons to raise money for the cause. She disclosed that her last major subathon, conducted through Tiltify, raised approximately $515,000 for the charity, but VShojo never forwarded the funds as required.
“Because the subathons involved my Twitch revenue, it required VShojo to make the donation on my behalf,” she explained, expressing frustration over the delay. She also noted that her lawyers advised her to limit what she could say publicly.
Emotional Pressure and Alleged Harassment
Ironmouse further claimed that VShojo attempted emotional manipulation to keep her within the company, allegedly warning her that leaving would hurt her friends and colleagues. “I was made to feel guilty about wanting to leave,” she said in her statement.
Despite the controversy, the Vtuber confirmed she will continue streaming independently and has already planned a new charity live stream for IDF “sometime this month.” She encouraged her fans to continue supporting the foundation directly.
Community Response: Massive Support from Fellow Vtubers
Ironmouse Leaves VShojo, Ironmouse’s decision sparked an outpouring of support from both independent Vtubers and current VShojo talent. Notable figures, including Henya the Genius, Kuro, Matara Kan, Shylily, Bao the Whale, Shoto, and CyYu, publicly voiced their solidarity.
Fellow Vtuber Dokibird donated $10,000 to the newly launched IDF Tiltify campaign, while Zentreya expressed sympathy over the situation. Some creators, including Michi Mochivee, Kuro, and AmaLee Monarch, have quietly removed VShojo references from their bios, sparking further speculation about internal tensions.
A Major Blow to VShojo’s Reputation
Ironmouse was a founding member of VShojo, joining the organization in November 2020 after years of streaming independently since 2017. Her departure follows a series of high-profile exits, including those of Zentreya, Geega, and several executives, raising questions about the company’s future.
