Ironmouse Discusses the No-Face Reveal Policy

In a candid conversation on Anthony Padilla’s ‘Assumptions’ podcast, Ironmouse addressed several common misconceptions about her, including the question of a possible face reveal. She was emphatic in declaring that sharing her identity is not something she intends to do.

“I feel like people are gonna come after me because I’ve been very adamant in saying I’m never gonna do one, and I’m never gonna do one,” she stated clearly. Ironmouse identified herself as an ‘old-fashioned’ VTuber, expressing a strong preference for maintaining her anonymity. “I just wanna be Ironmouse for the rest of my life. I don’t wanna be perceived, you know?”

She elaborated on her philosophy of creating content without needing a personal visual identity, emphasizing, “Sometimes you just don’t wanna be perceived, and that’s fine. Given the choice to be a faceless creator, would you take it? Come on, now. You don’t have to be on camera all the time. You can just hang out and be yourself.”

Ironmouse humorously referred to herself as a “gremlin” during the discussion, admitting her anxiety about being doxxed. She even goes to great lengths, like altering her voice on phone calls to protect her identity. Ironmouse noted that only her immediate family is aware of her real name, with others in her life believing she is “unemployed.”

This desire for anonymity allows her to relish her role as a VTuber without the pressures often associated with being in the public eye. While many streamers have opted for face reveals, which have led to viral moments—like Minecraft star Dream’s mask removal in 2022—Ironmouse shows no intention of joining their ranks.

In conclusion, Ironmouse’s commitment to her VTuber identity highlights an evolving trend within the content creation community, where imagination and character can triumph over traditional forms of personal branding.
