"I'm No Longer Inviting Mang0": Ludwig Responds Following Recent Controversy
In the wake of a very intense controversy following the last Mogul Moves event, Ludwig Ahgren has announced that from now on, he would not be inviting Super Smash Bros. icon Joseph 'Mang0' Marquez to come to any of his events.
The fallout originates from the 21st of June 'Beerio Kart' tournament, an alcohol-soaked Mario Kart competition of famous online personalities. Though the event was meant to be all fun and lighthearted, things turned quite serious once several clips surfaced showing Mang0's behavior while severely intoxicated. Allegations started all over the social media, where many claimed that he acted inappropriately towards fellow streamer Maya Higa.
Mang0 Removed After Allegedly Making Multiple Streamers Uncomfortable
In a candid livestream on June 22, Ludwig mentioned the situation and said he reached out to everyone who might have felt uneasy during the event. Though he did not name anyone particularly, but Ludwig was clearly very clear about his position on Mang0 attending any future Mogul Moves events:
'You know, I reached out to anyone who I felt might have felt uncomfortable, and talked to them. But also, and I've already told Mang0 this, I'm no longer inviting Mang0 to Mogul Moves events.

Because, like, you know, it's a privilege to go to an event, man. Like, the whole point of an event is, like, fun things to do, have a good-a** time, and if somebody appearing jeopardizes somebody else having a good time, that just can't be a thing.

Ludwig Responded to the Mango Situation.. Insane Update
A Pattern of Problematic Behavior
This is not the first time Mang0's antics, often fueled by alcohol, have garnered criticism. Throughout the years, his internet image has been largely tied to alcohol and intoxication-related activities, such as his streams selling the theme of intoxication with events like 'Drunk December.'
His behavior led in fact to a few Twitch suspensions for being publicly drunk on stream.
The Beerio Kart incident was a change of scenery. Both attendees and viewers observed that Mang0 seemed visibly out of control following his early elimination from the competition. Soon began the transition from funny intoxication to making others uncomfortable, which Maryul describes as "especially concerning" in terms of how he treated some female streamers.
Reckoning and Reassessment
Going from a Smash community icon for competitive skill and debonair party-boy glamour, Mang0 now finds himself in the spotlight being increasingly called to account by fans and fellow creators. Following the backlash, it is said he is presently "reevaluating" his relationship with alcohol.
The one for Ludwig appears quite certain. Community trust cannot be compromised, and Ludwig has assured that the message will be clear that no matter how illustrious the career of any individual, they cannot get a pass for past transgressions when it comes to creating safe and fun events for everyone involved.

British YouTuber apologises for eating chicken inside ISKCON London restaurant
British YouTuber 'Cenzo' released an apology after a video of him eating chicken inside Govinda's, a vegetarian restaurant run by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in London, sparked massive outrage on social media. The video shows Cenzo, who is of African descent, entering the premises and asking the staff if meat was served. On being informed that the eatery only offers vegetarian food, he pulled out a box of chicken and began eating inside the restaurant. Visibly unsettling, the British YouTuber can be seen offering the non-vegetarian food to the staff and patrons, making everyone around uncomfortable. On being asked to leave, he continued eating, prompting the security to remove him from the premises. The act drew widespread condemnation on social media. Many users questioned the motive behind it, with some describing it as an intentional insult to Hindu dietary and religious values. 'I stepped over the line,' admits London YouTuber after receiving backlash After receiving backlash for his 'prank', Cenzo admitted that he was visiting all the vegan restaurants in the area as a part of a video series for his YouTube channel. 'If I had known that the restaurant was with the temple, I would have never filmed that prank and left,' he said. He said that he contacted the restaurant and planned a visit to apologise in person for his actions.

'They believe in no violence and peaceful behaviours towards animals and people. My actions came off as offensive to the community, and I would like to offer heartfelt, sincere apologies,' he said. 'God knows what they must be going through, seeing themselves all over social media over something that I would call a joke, but in reality, it was not a joke,' he added. 'We forgive and sincerely pray for the perpetrators': ISKCON ISKCON released a statement saying that it has forgiven the 'perpetrators of this undignified act' and sincerely prays for them. 'We forgive and sincerely pray for the perpetrators of this undignified act, who, due to ignorance, are probably unaware or simply don't care about the pain they are causing by making such childish videos,' the statement read.

Many fans are praising the duo for their shown kindness. "This is the absolute reason why Speed is the goat 🐐 youtuber of our generation. Nobody has a pure heart like Speed. Proud of you,' tweeted one of the supporters. The other fan noted, "Speed got some basedd collabs," highlighting Speed and NFL icons' unique partnership. Another added, " Love seeing legends like Chad Johnson and @Michael_ReedSEA giving back—especially to animal shelters! Big respect for this $100k100k donation. 🐾' While most responses were positive, it couldn't maintain uniformity. The post received some expressed sarcasm and criticism. However, as per reports, the donation was made just to improve the lives of the abandoned pets. The intention was not to get famous but just to help the animals find their families. Streamer ishowspeed dona cien mil dólares a un refugio de animales 🐶🤔 #Shorts Despite the intention of the personality, a few users just couldn't hold back. A comment made read, "It's heartwarming to see Chad Johnson and IShowSpeed, two Black men, finally stepping up to do something worthwhile, unlike their usual antics. Who knew they had it in them?' A few even went ahead and questioned the focus of the donation, "I really can't understand how humans donate to animals instead of other humans." Critiques, on the other hand, targeted the corporate involvement. A user in this regard commented, 'We not forget the irony of DoorDash. A company known for exploiting its workers, now playing the hero in this charity act. Talk about a PR stunt 😂😑😂' The other even didn't leave behind the talks of money laundering and tax breaks. The comment read, 'Money laundering and tax breaks confirmed' Despite all mixed opinions, here the overwhelming sentiment ensured to celebrate the act as a meaningful contribution. IShowSpeed's Europe tour continues with a bump The IShowSpeed in collaboration with Chad Johnson NFL legend donation comes amidst the extensive European tour of IShowSpeed. His stops have been promoted as tourism initiatives. His streams, as well as meet-ups, have drawn huge crowds, with 1000s of fans out there just to get a glimpse of the star. However, now, it seems to be generating some political friction. The officials of Lithuania have confirmed that they will not pay the agreed amount to Speed's stop if he will be following through on the stated plans for visiting Russia. The Economy Minister of Latvia, Viktors Valainis, ensured to echo upon this stance on X, stating Latvia will withhold the planned 30,000 euro payment as he would support the aggregator state, 'Russia.' The post made by the official, and now translated, reads, 'Currently, the 30,000 EUR mentioned regarding IShowSpeed's visit to Latvia has not been paid to anyone. If this content creator goes to Russia, we will not pay him anything either, as a supporter of an aggressor state! I will also urge other Baltic colleagues to act the same way!' Despite all the debates that surround IShowSpeed's tour, let's just hope streamer donations in Austin can shift the entire focus to philanthropic ends. Whether he is entertaining the millions of fans online or just supporting animal welfare, the influence he has continued to spark conversations—both critical and positive. As of now, the real winners in the entire scenario are the Austin Animal Shelter's furry residents.

VShojo controversy timeline: What led to the community backlash?
Image via: On 21st July, Ironmouse in the VShojo-originals line announced to the world that she had terminated her agency contract through the YouTube channel, in an uneasy style. The video, titled "Why I Left VShojo," was not just a farewell statement. It was also an accusation. Ironmouse claimed in the video that the agency had not only withheld her own paychecks but had also withheld charity fundraising amounts of over $500,000, intended for IDF, the Immune Deficiency Foundation. It was a turning point for many fans in what had, until that day, seemed a model partnership between one of the Internet's most beloved creators and a talent agency that helped give the VTubers mainstream visibility. Yet, the fissures had apparently been forming months ago. Signs of Trouble: Cryptic Posts and Silence Before the video was released, there were already some quiet alarms raised by Ironmouse. On July 17, Ironmouse shared a cryptic update on social media saying, I'm so sorry for not streaming as much these past two weeks. I have been going through a lot…' Four days later, when the video was released, fans put two and two together. Her recent absence was not just due to health issues and Ironmouse has been pretty open about living with Common Variable Immunodeficiency, she said-but due to mounting frustrations against VShojo over alleged money wrongdoing. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like No annual fees for life UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo More Voices Join the Chorus The Ironmouse video acted as somewhat of a breaking point. On that same day, a whole wave of allegations started pouring in on behalf of other creators and collaborators. An artist known as @vortoxy stepped out his silence and gave his account on X, alleging it took VShojo two months to pay $500 for a commission, suggesting he felt he would have been forgotten if he had not persistently followed up. Why I left VShojo Following this, Ironmouse's composer for music came out, stating the company had turned a deaf ear to invoices amounting to "thousands of dollars." These accounts-range in severity-paint a larger picture: Maybe VShojo has a systemic financial issue. Trust and Transparency in VTubing Certainly, this controversy goes much deeper than just one fallout between a creator and an agency. A Western agency first-ever to bestow VTubers with an influencing platform and professional infrastructure, VShojo always stood at the apex. Ironmouse was not just a client but also a co-founder and the very heart of the agency brand. These charity misappropriation claims are just the worst to handle. The IDF, an organization that aids those with immunodeficiencies like Ironmouse herself, was supposed to benefit from donations raised through campaigns directly promoted by her. If this is found to be true, this betrayal just goes deeper than money, it is about values. What's Next for VShojo? As things stand, VShojo has still not made a full-fledged public response to the money accusations. The agencies have reportedly been asking for their side of the story from various media outlets as well as the IDF, but nothing has yet come back. The VTubing community established for the longest time upon social bonds and creator trust is now watching. For VShojo, the road ahead is going to require a lot more than just legal closure, it is going to require transparency, accountability, and a genuine bid to repair the fractured relationship with fans and talent alike.
