VTuber Ember Paradox has come under fire from fellow right-leaning collaborators for 'lying' after her voice filter glitched during a livestream

had to edit that bigotted headline. Ember Paradox uses “she/her” when referring to herself.

I just assumed all female v-tubers were actually guys IRL. Is that just me?

It sounds like this person lives their everyday life as a man so I don't mean to come off anti trans when I say that, it's just that this is exactly what I would have expected. If they had transitioned IRL they'd probably be way less into the whole v-tuber thing.

No, it's a very common idea, though I'm not sure why. There are thousands of v-tubers, but it's the top 1% that make 90% of the money. Pretending to be a woman online isn't a cheat code to becoming rich and famous.

A lot of v-tubers are drawn to it because it creates a separation between their onscreen persona and their real life face.

I don't follow this vtuber to know if she identifies as trans, but def. as バ美肉。 Ember seems to separate both.
The leoparding is more of her punching down on minorities, getting now punch down by her audience. Reap what you sow sort of thing.
