I am leaving Vishojo.

Unfortunately, I recently found out that

for the past couple of months, I have

been misled by Vishojo. With the

information that I currently have, I

believe that I am owed a significant

amount of funds which I have not been

paid. And most importantly, the thing

that hurts me the most is that the

Immune Deficiency Foundation, which is

the most important charity to me and

also the reason why I'm here today, is

owed over half a million dollars from

Vishojo. I know that this is a lot and

it's very important for me to be honest

with all of you.

I really want to tell you everything,

but unfortunately right now I have been

instructed by my attorney to wait for

more of the legal procedure to unfold.

So one day I will be able to tell you

the full story.

But for now, I just need to let you know

that I will no longer be a part of

Vishojo. If you give me a moment of your

time, I just want to tell you a little

bit about myself. I know for a lot of

people right now that this might be the

first time you're ever watching me. I

became a VTuber because I really wanted

to make friends. I was very lonely due

to the fact that I have a primary immune

deficiency disease called CVID. I

basically have a low to near

non-functioning immune system

which means I get sick a lot and it

caused me to remain isolated for long

periods of my life. So then I found

streaming and I thought about giving it

a try because I wanted to see if I could

make some friends online because I

honestly couldn't ever leave my room. I

never really expected to grow an

audience or anything. It was one of the

last things on my mind. I just thought

that I would stream to, you know, five

to 10 people and just hang out from time

to time, make some friends, play games,

and just continue on with my life. But

unfortunately, I was too scared to

stream with my face. So, a friend of

mine recommended that I try an app

called Facerigg that would allow me to

use an anime avatar to stream. And

that's how I started vtubing. It took me

a while to take it seriously and even

begin to think about maybe being able to

grow a community and even make this a

career. I think I really started to take

it seriously around the time when I was

approached to join Vishojo. And it was

through Vishojo that I was able to grow

into the Iron Mouse that I am today.

When I was approached in 2020 and asked

to join Vishojo,

it seemed like a good idea, but I

honestly did not know if I could ever be

a corporal VTuber because

I felt like I just couldn't. In my mind,

I saw myself as unhirable,

which is why streaming worked for me. I

had no boss, no strict rules, I had no

hours, no expectations.

It was all up to me. And due to the fact

that I have lived my life chronically

ill and being unable to do much of

anything, I just felt like there was no

way that anyone would ever take me or

want me. For a while, I was struggling

to make a decision

because I was afraid about my anonymity

and afraid about trusting people because

I felt like every time I put my trust in

people,

it always ends in grief for me. So, I

always worried about expectations and a

million and one other things. But I

ultimately decided to join Vishojo. It

really pains me that I am unable to

fully explain why I am leaving.

But for right now, here's what I am

allowed to share with you. I would

always be told how important I was for

the company.

And I was always told that I was needed

in order for the company to succeed.

Although that was very positive to hear,

it put a lot of pressure and a lot of

stress on me to the point where I felt

guilt tripped into signing. I felt

responsible for everybody.

I felt responsible for staff and talent

alike. And I felt like if I didn't do

this and if I didn't stay, I was hurting

everybody and I was destroying

everybody's life. But this didn't feel

right with me. And

I began to feel extremely uncomfortable.

As my viewers know, privacy has always

been one of my biggest concerns. I've

had a lot of scary experiences in my

life. So, one amazing thing for me was

the fact that Vishojo handled all my

payments and it meant that I never had

to give out any of my personal

information.

So, that was always a blessing to me. As

time went on, I decided that I wanted to

try to start pulling out my remaining

funds because I wanted to start taking

over my own finances. This is what led

me to this point. Throughout the years,

Connor and I have raised around $4

million for the Immune Deficiency

Foundation. The majority of the money

raised is through Tiltify at events like

the Cyclathon, the charity auction, and

other miscellaneous events that we've

had. However, because of the success of

my first Subathon, I decided to donate

half the earnings of my following

twoathons to the Immune Deficiency

Foundation. The first time I tried this,

it worked great. Over 200,000 people

supported me and because of that, we

raised over 300 29,350

to the immune deficiency foundation.

Because the money came from my Twitch

revenue instead of a Tiltify link, it

required Vishojo to make the donation on

my behalf. They promptly sent the

payment and the Sovadon was a huge

success. So, I decided to do it again

the next year. My last SADON was one of

the biggest events I've ever done. The

support was overwhelming and I ended up

getting over $300,000 subscribers and

breaking the all-time sub record. But

this also meant that we had raised

$515,000

for the immune deficiency foundation. I

once again asked Vishojo to make the

donation on my behalf, but unfortunately

still a year later, Vishojo has not paid

the charity. The Deficiency Foundation

means the world to me. Connor and I have

both spent a ton of energy, time, and

resources raising money for charity, and

we're both so proud to be able to say

that we've raised nearly $4 million for

charity. We almost always raise money

for the immune deficiency foundation.

They help people with primary immune

deficiency diseases or PI which are

inherited disorders where a part of the

body's immune system is missing or

doesn't function properly which makes

people like me more prone to infection.

And this includes over 450 different

conditions. The Immune Deficiency

Foundation is a charity that is near and

dear to my heart and has a particular

significance in my life. When my health

first started getting really bad, the

immune deficiency foundation helped me

immensely.

When I really had nowhere else to turn,

I was terrified.

I was lonely and I was confused.

I honestly didn't really know what was

going on. And I never ever want anyone

else to go through that. This entire

situation has broken me.

I just wanted to do something good

and to give back to a community that

helped me, but unfortunately

that's not the case. As much as I would

like to continue to talk about this,

unfortunately

I can't. So to recap, I believe that I

am owed a significant amount of funds

which I have not been paid. And most

importantly, the immune deficiency

foundation is owed over half a million

dollars from Vishojo. I really wish that

I could tell you more, but right now I

have been advised to wait for legal

proceedings. As of right now, I am an

independent VTuber. I am at a loss of

what to do right now. I'm kind of

processing everything. I'm very sad and

very confused. Once again, I want to

apologize to

the immune deficiency foundation and to

my community who has shown so much

support to me. I also wanted to say that

all the ad money made from this video

will go towards the immune deficiency

foundation. I honestly don't know what

I'm going to do. I really, like I said,

I really haven't had much time to

process this, but below the video in the

description box is a link to a donation

fund for the immune deficiency

foundation. Thankfully, any donations

made through Tiltify go directly to the

charity. That link is also there if

you've heard about this and would like

to support the immune deficiency

foundation. Sometime this month, I plan

on doing a special live stream

in order to raise money for the immune

deficiency foundation. I hope to have a

ton of friends joining me and hopefully

there'll be a lot of singing and a lot

of fun and just a day full of happiness.

I just honestly really want to show that

after all of this that Vtubing is a

force for good.

So, thank you guys so much for all the

support and thank you so much for taking

the time to watch this video. And once

again, I want to say that I am truly

sorry.

Okay.
