Popular Vtuber Ironmouse has officially left VShojo, and the internet is ablaze. In a shocking YouTube video announcement, she cited serious issues — most notably, that VShojo has failed to pay out charity funds raised in her name, including $515,000 owed to the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF).
“A year later, VShojo has still not paid the charity,” Ironmouse revealed emotionally.
“I’ve been advised by my lawyers to not say too much.”
Let’s break down what exactly happened and why this could be one of the biggest controversies in the VTuber world.
🔥 What Happened Between Ironmouse and VShojo?
Ironmouse, one of the founding members of VShojo, said her split was largely due to mishandled charity donations and missing funds. She and fellow creator CDawgVA (Connor) had raised over $4 million for IDF in the past through platforms like Tiltify, including during her popular Twitch subathons.
But there’s a catch — because of her contract, VShojo had to make the charity donations on her behalf.
“The last subathon raised $515,000. That was a year ago. The charity still hasn’t received that money,” Ironmouse claimed.
💔 Emotional Manipulation? Ironmouse Speaks Out
In her video, Ironmouse also said VShojo tried to emotionally manipulate her into staying, claiming that her departure would harm her friends. This kind of alleged behavior has raised even more concerns among fans.
“They tried to guilt me into staying… saying it would hurt my friends. That wasn’t okay.”
👥 Support Pours In from the VTuber Community
The VTuber world rallied behind her. Independent creators and even some VShojo members expressed public support:
- Henya the Genius, Shylily, Kuro, Matara Kan, Shoto, and Zentreya all posted heartfelt messages.
- Dokibird donated $10,000 to Ironmouse’s new IDF campaign.
- Creators like AmaLee Monarch, Michi Mochivee, and Kuro removed “VShojo” from their bios.
This wave of solidarity is a clear sign that Ironmouse is far from alone in her battle for transparency and fairness.

🧬 Why the Immune Deficiency Foundation Matters
Ironmouse lives with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) — a serious health condition. That’s why the IDF cause is so personal for her. Every dollar raised was meant to help others like her. The idea that funds may have been withheld has devastated her fanbase.
“I will still stream and support the IDF, even without VShojo,” she confirmed.
She has also announced an upcoming independent charity stream this month — with 100% transparency and donations going directly to IDF.
📢 What’s Next for Ironmouse?
Despite the drama, Ironmouse made it clear — she’s not quitting streaming. She’ll continue independently and may even start her own organization.
Fans now wait eagerly for:
- Her next charity stream
- Any legal developments
- A public response from VShojo (still pending)
