Ironmouse shocked the VTuber world on July 21 Monday, when she said she was leaving Vshojo, the group she helped build. She alleged the company owes her a significant sum and never forwarded more than $500,000 in donations to the Immune Deficiency Foundation. Lawyers are now involved. She’s keeping her model, name, and channels, and she’s moving forward as an independent creator.
Fans and fellow VTubers immediately rallied behind her. Within hours, the story stopped being only about a breakup and became about accountability. The next move proved it. Ironmouse launched a fresh Tiltify campaign with a modest $10,000 goal. Her community blew past it and cleared the missing half‑million mark, then surged past $1 million in under two days.
Ironmouse’s Break With VShojo: Alleged Unpaid Earnings
On July 21, 2025, Ironmouse announced she was leaving Vshojo effective immediately. In an 11‑minute video, she said the company owes her a “significant amount of money” and that more than $500,000 raised for the Immune Deficiency Foundation was never delivered.
She noted her attorneys advised her to hold back details and let the legal process run its course. Fans rallied fast, but the core questions, where the money went and how it was managed, now sit with lawyers and accountants.
She remains independent and keeps her name, model, and channels. That’s consistent with Vshojo’s approach to creator IP. Her departure follows a wave of exits in 2025, including Matara Kan, Geega, and fellow co‑founder Zentreya.
The dispute has turned into a stress test for trust in VTuber agencies, contract clarity, and charity stewardship. Ironmouse urged supporters to donate directly to the Immune Deficiency Foundation and pledged ad revenue from her announcement to the charity.
Ironmouse’s Community Raises Over $1M in Under 48 Hours
Ironmouse launched a fresh Tiltify campaign on July 21, 2025 with a $10,000 goal. Her audience erased it almost instantly. Donations blew past the disputed $515,000 mark and topped $1,000,000 by July 23. She also pledged the ad revenue from her announcement to the Immune Deficiency Foundation.
IDF president and CEO Jorey Berry publicly thanked her and the community.
Big-name personalities and vTubers piled in. TaigaHolic gave $16,001. Lonewolf7701 sent $16,000. Trickywi contributed $15,778.20. JAST pitched in $15,555.55. Gamer Supps and VGen each gave $15,000. Shylily added $12,222.22. Dokibird donated $10,001.69. Mint Fantome, Nimi Nightmare, Nyatasha Nyanners, Zentreya, CyYu, Apricot the Lich, and even Tiltify itself also wrote sizeable checks.
Legal questions about the 2024 subathon funds remain, but the million raised here is already with the foundation. The number may still climb as late donations land and processing settles.
Ironmouse’s exit from Vshojo turned a private contract dispute into a public stress test for transparency, charity stewardship, and creator rights. She says money is owed to her and that over $500,000 meant for the Immune Deficiency Foundation never arrived.
Instead of waiting for lawyers alone, she demonstrated her intent by redirecting the conversation to action and raised over $1 million for the IDF in under two days. That response showed how fast a trusted creator can mobilize a community when the conduit to charity is clear and direct.
