CDawgVA Stands Up Against Harassment Faced by VTubers like IronMouse
In recent events following the harassment directed at IronMouse after she shattered Kai Cenat’s Twitch subscription record, popular streamer CDawgVA has voiced his concerns regarding the excessive and unjustified animosity that she and other VTubers endure. According to him, this backlash stems primarily from their choice to stream using avatars instead of revealing their true identities.
Connor’s Perspective
At the outset of his video, Connor openly admitted his intention to defend his long-time friend IronMouse. However, he also aimed to illuminate the broader challenges faced by her and fellow VTubers in the digital space. He described the hatred directed toward them as “blind,”attributing it to a lack of understanding regarding the VTubing phenomenon.
A Deep Dive Into the Harassment
IronMouse isn’t just a significant figure within the VTuber community; she ranks as one of the most recognizable creators on Twitch. To highlight the extremity of the situation, Connor compiled an 85-page document showcasing some of the abusive communications that have resulted in chat bans on her channel. He stated emphatically, “This is psychotic! This is f**ked up! How is this ok?!”
He further noted the alarming nature of these hostile encounters, suggesting that if he were in her position, he would reconsider his participation in streaming altogether. Surprisingly, while many of the aggressors were fans of Kai Cenat, Connor pointed out that Kai has publicly supported IronMouse, urging his followers to cease their harassment.
The Cultural Shift in Online Behavior
Connor expressed his confusion over the evolving online culture, where it seems acceptable to mock or belittle that which is not fully understood. “As a creator, I would be embarrassed if I saw my viewers blindly hating on someone else using my name. I’d be mortified,” he reflected, emphasizing the importance of fostering a supportive community.
Moreover, he highlighted that the discrimination faced by IronMouse is not isolated; many VTubers experience a similar torrent of online bullying. “IronMouse, and likely most VTubers, have faced a normalization of insults,” he elaborated, adding that she has borne the brunt of this hostility throughout her career. Each milestone she achieves often invites a wave of negativity, predominantly rooted in prejudice against her VTuber identity.
Conclusion: A Call for Awareness
In wrapping up his video, Connor reiterated that his sole motivation was to support IronMouse. He hopes that by shedding light on these ongoing issues, he can contribute to a decrease in the unprovoked hatred directed towards her and other VTubers.
