Is Zentreya a Guy? The Truth Behind the Cyberpunk Dragon Vtuber

Zentreya is one of the most popular and mysterious Vtubers in the world. She is known for her cyberpunk style, her synthesized voice, and her roleplaying adventures in VRChat. But there is one question that many fans and curious viewers have been asking for a long time: Is Zentreya a guy?

In this article, we will try to answer this question by looking at the facts, the rumors, and the opinions of Zentreya herself and her fellow Vtubers. We will also explore the reasons why some people might think that Zentreya is a guy, and why it ultimately does not matter.

Who is Zentreya?

Zentreya is a female English-language Vtuber who debuted in 2017. She is a member of VShojo, a talent agency for Vtubers that was founded in November 2020. She is also the leader and founder of the A.L.A., the Anti-Lewd Army, a group of Vtubers who oppose lewdness and seek to protect the innocence of others.

Zentreya describes herself as a cyborg from a post-apocalyptic future, sent back in time to prevent the apocalypse. She has a red dragon avatar that she uses for most of her streams, as well as other models such as a human version, a catgirl version, and a maid version. She is very headstrong and tends to yell at everyone around her, but she also loves meeting new people and making friends. She enjoys memes, pranks, music, gaming, and roleplaying.

Zentreya is also known for using a speech-to-text-to-speech system to produce a synthesized voice. She has stated that she does this because she has vocal cord damage and cannot speak normally. She has also said that she likes the way her voice sounds and that it matches her personality.

Is Zentreya a Guy?

The question of whether Zentreya is a guy or not has been a source of speculation and debate among her fans and viewers for a long time. There are several reasons why some people might think that Zentreya is a guy, such as:

  • Her synthesized voice sounds masculine or robotic to some people.
  • Her dragon avatar has a flat chest and muscular arms.
  • Her personality is aggressive, assertive, and dominant.
  • She rarely shows any signs of femininity or romance.
  • She has made jokes or comments that imply that she is a guy or has male anatomy.

However, there are also many facts and evidence that suggest that Zentreya is not a guy, such as:

  • She has confirmed multiple times that she is female and identifies as such.
  • She has other avatars that are clearly feminine and have female anatomy.
  • She has shown interest in men and has flirted with some male Vtubers.
  • She has expressed discomfort or annoyance when people call her a guy or question her gender.
  • She has received support and validation from her fellow Vtubers who know her personally.

According to Zentreya’s official website1, she states:

I am female. I identify as female. I am not transsexual nor do I have any plans to be transsexual. I am not gay nor do I have any plans to be gay. I am not bisexual nor do I have any plans to be bisexual.

She also says:

I use text-to-speech because I have vocal cord damage. It’s not because I’m hiding my voice or trying to sound like something I’m not.

In addition, Zentreya has addressed the question of her gender several times on her Twitter account2, where she has tweeted things like:

Texted my Dad that I’m a Vtuber now just to see what he would say since he doesn’t know I’m one or what one is \nHe said “Im sorry to hear that.” \n???

Since Twitter is going to die at any moment and nobody will probably see this \nI’m a furry

WAIT A MINUTE…

In these tweets, Zentreya uses humor and sarcasm to mock the idea that she is a guy or that it matters at all.

Furthermore, Zentreya has received support and validation from her fellow Vtubers who know her personally and respect her identity. For example, Nyanners3, one of Zentreya’s closest friends and fellow VShojo member, has tweeted things like:

zentreya is so beautiful i love her so much

zentreya is my wife

zentreya is my hero

Nyanners has also defended Zentreya from trolls and haters who question her gender or harass her online. In one stream4, Nyanners said:

People who say mean things about Zen’s voice are just jealous because they don’t have cool robot voices like Zen does.

Other Vtubers who have shown support and admiration for Zentreya include Ironmouse, Projekt Melody, Froot, Hime Hajime, and Silvervale, among others.

Why Does It Not Matter?

Ultimately, the question of whether Zentreya is a guy or not does not matter. Zentreya is a Vtuber, an entertainer, and an artist who creates content for her fans and viewers to enjoy. She is not obligated to reveal or prove anything about her personal life, her identity, or her body. She has the right to present herself however she wants and to use whatever tools or methods she prefers. She has the freedom to express herself and to explore different aspects of her personality and creativity.

Zentreya is also a human being who deserves respect, kindness, and acceptance. She has feelings, emotions, and struggles that are not always visible or obvious. She has faced challenges, hardships, and trauma that have shaped her into who she is today. She has hopes, dreams, and goals that she wants to achieve and share with others.

Zentreya is more than just a gender. She is a person. A person who has made thousands of people laugh, smile, cry, and feel inspired. A person who has made countless friends and connections in the Vtuber community. A person who has made a positive impact on the world with her content and her message.

Zentreya is Zentreya. And that is enough.
