After IronMouse faced online attacks for breaking Kai Cenat’s Twitch subscription record, CDawgVA spoke out in her defense.
He believes that she and other VTubers are enduring unfair and excessive hate due to their choice of streaming style.
At the beginning of his video, Connor explained that he wanted to stand up for his friend, as he and IronMouse have been close for many years.
He also aimed to highlight the challenges that IronMouse and other VTubers face in the online community.
While many Twitch streamers praised IronMouse for her achievements, numerous others reacted negatively.
Connor asserts that some creators experience “blind hatred” simply because they choose to stream using avatars instead of revealing their real faces.
He believes that this attitude has become a significant problem.
Connor openly criticized those who display this kind of blind hatred towards VTubers.
He pointed out that IronMouse is one of the largest VTubers and a prominent figure on Twitch.
Connor created a video detailing some of the shocking messages she receives, including an 85-page document listing comments that led to bans in her chat.
In his video, he expressed strong emotions regarding the situation and questioned how such behavior can be acceptable.
He mentioned that if the same hate were directed at his chat, he would reconsider streaming altogether.
Despite some fans of Kai Cenat expressing hateful remarks, it’s worth noting that he has often defended IronMouse.
Connor pointed out the alarming trend where people seem to think it’s acceptable to mock or criticize things they don’t understand, particularly regarding VTubers like IronMouse. He stated that, as a content creator, he would feel ashamed to see his followers hurling insults at someone else while using his name.
He also emphasized that IronMouse’s experience isn’t unique. Many other VTubers have faced similar negativity and bullying. He highlighted that IronMouse has been pushed off platforms like TikTok due to the intense harassment she receives.
According to Connor, IronMouse has endured not just occasional hateful comments, but a sustained and relentless stream of negativity online for years. He described this situation as overwhelming and extraordinarily troubling.
In closing, Connor explained that he made his video primarily to support IronMouse, hoping to raise awareness about the harsh treatment she and other VTubers encounter. He expressed a desire for this discussion to help reduce the unwarranted hatred directed at them.
