The Ironmouse Drama Explained

The fallout from the 2025 Streamer Awards continues after VTubing star Ironmouse revealed she felt uncomfortable during interactions at the event. QTCinderella’s annual awards show took place on December 7, celebrating standout creators from the past year.

Kai Cenat dominated the night with multiple wins tied to Mafiathon 3, while IShowSpeed was named Streamer of the Year.

Ironmouse Describes an Uncomfortable Experience

In the days following the ceremony, Ironmouse addressed her audience and explained that she was made uneasy by IRL streamers RayAsianBoy and RaKai.

She described being asked invasive questions about her real-life appearance, saying the experience left her visibly shaken.

During a December 11 stream, Ironmouse said she anticipated inappropriate remarks before they happened.

She stated that the interaction crossed a line and made her feel deeply uncomfortable, reinforcing broader conversations about boundaries between VTubers and IRL creators at public events.

RayAsianBoy Issues Public Apology

RayAsianBoy later addressed the situation during his own Twitch broadcast. He apologized for making Ironmouse uncomfortable, stating that there was no intention to cause harm.

Ray explained that he believed the interaction was a normal conversation at the time, but acknowledged that it clearly did not come across that way.

Promise to Avoid Future Interaction

Along with the apology, RayAsianBoy committed to avoiding future interactions with Ironmouse out of respect.

He expressed hope that she was doing well and emphasized positive intentions. Ray also instructed viewers not to send Ironmouse-related clips in his chat, signaling a desire to de-escalate the situation.

The incident has sparked further discussion within the streaming community about respect, consent, and appropriate conduct at high-profile industry events.
