Her VTuber colleagues at VShojo have follower counts in the hundreds of thousands across Twitch and YouTube. The Verge has reached out to VShojo, Ironmouse, and the Immune Deficiency Foundation for comment. “Yes, I’m leaving VShojo,” Projekt Melody posted on X. “I’m actually shocked,” said Biggles, an artist and independent VTuber, who told The Verge that she’s been a fan of VShojo talent since the company’s beginning.
