TheBurntPeanut Denies VTuber Harassment Claims After Controversial Award Win
December 13, 2025
The controversy from The Streamer Awards 2025 continues to shake the VTuber world. TheBurntPeanut spoke out to deny his fans harassed Ironmouse. She had publicly supported him after his Best VTuber win, which many found controversial. Peanut's win stirred strong reactions because his simple "peanut face filter" and "PTuber" style differ from traditional VTubers who use detailed models and artistry. When Ironmouse called the backlash "cringe" and congratulated him, the tension rose. Soon after, she reportedly got threats, leading to accusations that Peanut’s fans were involved. During a livestream, Peanut said the worst abuse did not come from his community. He claimed others, upset by Ironmouse’s support, sent the harshest messages, including death threats. He also sparked fresh outrage by calling critics "40-year-old men cosplaying as 15-year-old anime girls." This dispute exposed a split in the VTuber scene: traditional creators felt mocked, while Peanut’s fans said some gatekeep the community too harshly. Ironmouse is caught in the middle, urging less hostility as she faces harassment from many sides. What started as an award moment has grown into a heated debate over respect, identity, and accountability in the VTuber world. For now, Peanut denies his fans’ involvement, but tensions remain high.
