Unpaid charity funds among key concerns
Ironmouse specifically accused VShojo of failing to transfer significant amounts pledged to the Immune Deficiency Foundation, a cause she has championed during her streams. The foundation supports individuals living with primary immunodeficiency diseases.
While she did not detail the timeline of the alleged non-payments, she stated the total amount in question exceeds half a million US dollars.
Who is Ironmouse?
Ironmouse made her VTuber debut in August 2017 and is known for her pink-haired demon queen avatar, high-pitched operatic voice, and signature blend of humour and music. She has since become the most-followed VTuber globally and is celebrated for her engaging content, livestreams, and charity work.
Following her announcement, many fans voiced their support online, while criticism mounted against VShojo over the allegations.
As of now, VShojo has not issued a public response to the claims.
