Ironmouse leaves VShojo over charity payment concerns and raises $1M for The Immune Deficiency Foundation on her own. Here’s how it unfolded and why it matters.
Streaming Drama Turns into a Million-Dollar Win for Charity
In a plot twist that could’ve been ripped straight from a reality show (but with more anime avatars), beloved VTuber Ironmouse has pulled off something major — raising $1 million for The Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) just days after ditching her talent agency, VShojo.
So, What Went Down?
On July 21, Ironmouse publicly announced she was parting ways with VShojo, accusing the org of failing to deliver $500K from her previous subathon fundraiser to the IDF. Yeah — that’s a big yikes.
Her announcement didn’t just stir the pot — it turned it into a full-blown VTuber exodus. Fellow star Kson even quit the company live on-stream, and other creators started distancing themselves too.
The Power of Community (And a Little Internet Chaos)
Instead of letting the drama drag her down, Ironmouse hit the gas. She relaunched her fundraiser independently via Tiltify, and fans showed up big time. By July 23, donations had skyrocketed to $1 million.
Ironmouse was clearly floored by the response, telling fans:
“I don’t really have words that can properly express how I feel… My heart is so full it feels like it’s going to explode. You all are truly amazing. I’m gonna go cry now.”
Same, girl. Same.
IDF’s Response: Pure Gratitude
Even the Immune Deficiency Foundation CEO, Jorey Berry, posted a thank-you video, giving Ironmouse massive props:
“Even in the midst of challenges, she thought of us before herself. What has been raised… is surreal. Overwhelming in the best possible way.”
And She’s Not Even Done Yet
Ironmouse isn’t riding off into the sunset just yet. She’s planning another special charity stream later this month to keep the momentum going. Honestly, with her fanbase and dedication, who knows where the final number will land?
Why This Matters
This moment isn’t just about fundraising — it’s about creator integrity and the power of community over controversy. Ironmouse turned a tough situation into a massive win for a cause she deeply cares about — and proved that content creators can drive real-world impact without the backing of a big org.
💡 FYI: The Immune Deficiency Foundation supports people with primary immunodeficiencies — rare, often life-threatening conditions where the body’s immune system doesn’t function properly.
So if you’re inspired, you can still donate or spread the word. And keep an eye out for her next stream — it’s bound to be big.
Summary
- Ironmouse left VShojo over claims the org didn’t pay $500K from her charity subathon.
- Fans rallied hard, helping her raise $1M+ for the IDF independently.
- More fundraising is on the way via upcoming streams.
- It’s a huge reminder of how creators and communities can step up when it really counts.
