The roasted peanut left The Streamer Awards 2025 with two wins: Best FPS Streamer and Best VTuber. The ceremony took place on December 6, 2025; Streams Charts lists the results.
The second award ended Ironmouse's three-consecutive-win streak. Insider Gaming's report covers that result. An unusual-looking winner gave viewers plenty to discuss about the category.
What Ironmouse actually said
The most useful answer to the category argument comes from Ironmouse herself. In WavyClips' upload, she says Peanut qualifies as a VTuber and discusses the hostility she received after responding positively to his win.
MouseyDawg's longer excerpt gives more context. She rejects gatekeeping, explains her criticism of blind hatred and discourages threats and dogpiling. Her response is worth hearing in context, especially when the surrounding argument gets reduced to a few clipped lines.
A reaction clip is another layer of commentary
The Asmongold Shorts upload below includes an Ironmouse excerpt and Asmongold's commentary. It is a reaction video, not a separate statement from Ironmouse or footage of the awards presentation.
The result became a conversation that traveled well beyond the ceremony, with each reaction adding another audience.
The character behind the category debate
The peanut does not look like a conventional anime avatar. Peanut's own interview about making his visuals is a better starting point for understanding the work than guesses about the cost of other creators' rigs.
Two awards, an unusual character and a response worth listening to. For a roasted peanut, it was quite a night.
