She said Vshojo, a talent agency based for VTube content creators, did not pay her a significant amount of money in dues, as well as over $500,000 to the Immune Deficiency Foundation.

Ironmouse, a Puerto Rican‑American VTuber, debuted on the platform in August 2017. She streams under the avatar of a pink‑haired anime demon queen with a high‑pitched, operatic voice and irreverent humor.
