This is a stereotype that occasionally holds true but it is not usually the case (and the reason the stereotype is so big in the first place is because of the typical shock that people get when someone is revealed for loving what they hate ie: the gay hating politicians who were gay etc.) . Condition your mind to be wary of stereotypes, this will help improve your reasoning and judgement when it comes to people. 

So I think, in the case of VRChat, while some have the opportunity to fake their personas, I doubt a lot of people actually do. Again VRChat is one of those things where people can just be who they want to be in an open environment with (usually) little repercussions. Most I theorize are honest, well, most of the time.
