I don’t know you guys I think Ironmouse might be full of shit.
Seeing Trap Nation's clarification actually makes me understand Ironmouse's side a lot more.
They confirmed that the Club Ironmouse artwork wasn't intended to be the final artwork, that they're replacing it across platforms, and that Ironmouse was unaware AI had been used.
Ironmouse is a HUGE VTuber with an entire team behind her. As creators grow, it's simply not realistic for one person to personally oversee every single asset, post, design, upload, etc.
I'm nowhere near her size, but even as I'm growing, I'm already experiencing this myself. I can't always manage my own server anymore, so my mods, my little team help me handle things.
That doesn't mean I stop being responsible for my community, but it does mean I can't personally know every single thing someone on my team does.
So I think it's fair to ask for accountability, but I also think there's a difference between:
“Something was handled incorrectly by your team”
and
“You knowingly used AI.”
The first has now been acknowledged and is being corrected. The second is a much bigger accusation that I don't think people should make without evidence.
I'd rather see what happened behind the scenes before turning this into another witch hunt. 🩷
