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.

They would have been fine in general, but the person in question uses both sets of pronouns explicitly, so to me the article and its title are very respectful in using them as accurately as possible. They want to be called he/him or she/her, not they/them.

I expect this is actually a case of a trans woman that has not come to terms with their identity, but until then, they have dual simultaneous pronouns in their two identifies. Using all of them is respectful, but also a mindfuck, so mistakes should be forgiven as inadvertent unless they are explicitly bigoted.

Based on Kotaku's tone and forward statements about their gender, I lean very heavily into "not bigoted" in my reading of the article.
