Ironmouse's Tiltify campaign raises $1M for Immune Deficiency Foundation after VShojo exit
VTuber Ironmouse has raised $1 million for The Immune Deficiency Foundation days after announcing her departure from VShojo, following claims that the organisation had not paid $500,000 from a previous charity subathon to the same foundation. On July 21, Ironmouse stated she was leaving VShojo, alleging the organisation had not transferred funds raised for The Immune Deficiency Foundation during her viral subathon. The announcement prompted reactions across the VTuber community, with fellow creators including Kson, Projekt Melody and K9 Kuro announcing their own departures from the organisation. By July 23, Ironmouse's Tiltify campaign surpassed $1 million in donations. She posted on social media, stating, 'I don't really have words that can properly express how I feel. I feel like saying thank you to everyone is not enough, but thank you all so much for your kindness...' i dont really have words that can properly express how i feel. i feel like saying thank you to everyone is not enough. but thank you all so much for your kindness. my heart is so full it feels like its going to explode. you all are truly amazing. im gonna go cry now 🥹💖 — ironmouse🇵🇷😈💖 (@ironmouse) July 23, 2025 The Immune Deficiency Foundation acknowledged the fundraiser, sharing a message from its president, Jorey Berry, who said, 'Even in the midst of challenges, she thought of us before herself. What has been raised… is surreal. Overwhelming in the best possible way.' Ironmouse has announced plans for a special live stream later in July to continue fundraising efforts for the charity. The Tiltify page has raised $1,126,002.55 at the time of writing.

Vtuber Ironmouse leaves VShojo, cites unpaid charity funds and emotional pressure in departure
Vtuber Ironmouse has officially left the talent agency VShojo, citing concerns about unpaid funds owed to both herself and the Immune Deficiency Foundation charity. In a recent YouTube video, she explained that while she is unable to disclose many details on legal advice, a significant amount of charity funds remain unpaid nearly a year after a fundraising campaign. Ironmouse, who lives with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), previously hosted subathons to support the Immune Deficiency Foundation. She confirmed that she and fellow content creator Connor 'CDawgVA' Colquhoun raised about $4 million for the organisation, largely through the Tiltify platform. Her most recent subathon, she said, raised $515,000, but 'a year later, VShojo has not paid the charity.' The Vtuber also claimed that her departure was met with emotional pressure. She stated that VShojo attempted to discourage her decision by suggesting it would negatively impact her friends and the team. Despite this, she emphasised her intent to continue streaming as an independent creator. All revenue generated from her announcement video, she said, will be donated to the Immune Deficiency Foundation. Additionally, she plans to host another charity live stream for the organisation later this month. Ironmouse expressed disappointment over the missing funds, noting, 'That's the thing that hurts me the most.' She has received support from fans and fellow Vtubers, with several community members echoing concerns about transparency in charity-related streams. She concluded her statement by encouraging continued support for the Immune Deficiency Foundation and emphasised that more details would be shared in due course, depending on legal developments.

Freaky Thursday will be livestreamed on Beacon, Twitch, and YouTube at 7 p.m. PT. Fans will be able to make donations or purchase rewards to shape the story through Tiltify. The group has set a goal of raising $180,000 with the livestream, and each milestone will unlock in-game surprises like 'new allies, unexpected adversaries or even character sheet swaps, ensuring an unpredictable and exciting adventure shaped entirely by the community's contributions,' Critical Role said. The one-shot will provide donations to the California Community Foundation Wildfire Recovery Fund, the Latino Community Foundation, and the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation. As of Saturday, 28 people have died in the fires, according to NBC News. Hundreds of others have lost their homes and thousands more people were forced to evacuate. Critical Role has evolved into a multimedia enterprise with its core show, one-offs and spinoff web series, comics and books, an animated series, and their own subscription-based streaming platform, Beacon. They've also developed tabletop gaming systems, such as Candela Obscura and Daggerheart. 'We've worked so hard to build the foundation of this company that we want to be the rest of our lives in a way that will shepherd everything we want to create,' Mercer previously told Rolling Stone about Critical Role's legacy. 'And in time shepherd to the next generation of storytellers. I hope to one day pass the torch to a bunch of incredible people with new ideas and new perspectives and give them the space to tell their stories. And we can be the distant creative grandparents to them and be proud from the shadows.'
