Ironmouse is leaving Vshojo because VTuber's charity money for Immune Deficiency Foundation withheld: Video statement

Ironmouse, one of the most popular VTubers in the world, confirmed that she was leaving VShojo over pending payments. She will be taking legal action against VShojo, Ironmouse said in a video statement, claiming that the US-based talent agency and production company for VTubers owed her a hefty sum, including $500,000 meant for a charity she supports. She was misled for months over financial matters, including charity and fundraising events, she alleged.

 

The legal proceedings involved stopped her from revealing further details at the moment, but the virtual vlogger vowed to let the world know the entire story one day.

 

“I believe I am owed a significant amount of funds which I have not been paid,” Ironmouse said. “And, most importantly, the thing that hurts me the most is that the Immune Deficiency Foundation, which is the most important charity for me and also the reason I am here today, is owed over half a million dollars from VShojo.”

 

The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) is a non-profit organisation based in the United States that supports people with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PI or PID). According to reports, Ironmouse has been among the loudest advocates for the Immune Deficiency Foundation.

 

Ironmouse spoke about the emotional strain she experienced, saying she felt "guilt-tripped" during her time with the agency and overwhelmed by the pressure to contribute to its success.

 

Ironmouse claimed that along with her friend "CDawgVA", she had raised over $4 million for the Immune Deficiency Foundation in recent years. This total includes half of Ironmouse's earnings from her Twitch subathons, which she donated to the charity. She had VShojo manage these donations because she prefers to keep her identity private for personal reasons.

 

At the end of the video message, Ironmouse reaffirmed that she was "very sad and very confused" about what to do next as a suddenly independent creator. She also mentioned that all ad revenue from her announcement video would go to the Immune Deficiency Foundation.

 

"To my community I love you all dearly and thank you," she said.
