    Facebook would get more attention for the metaverse if they were honest about what VR is really like.

      No, there’s plenty of alcohol involved. It’s even a joke among some players that VRchat itself is a drinking game. Back when I played I joined a drinking group every Friday. It’s weird to see how people naturally remove their virtual clothes as they get more drunk.

    Shit like this is why VR hasn’t taken off as it could have. Too many children and too many man-children. Public spaces in almost every game/social platform are full of toxic ass clowns.

      As opposed to mainstream gaming like call of duty where everyone’s polite and respectful all of the time?

      Come up with a better arguement because that one’s nonsensical.

        I haven’t played any flat games in ages so if it’s just as bad there I’m sorry to hear it.

        That said I’ve known several people that have tried VR and eventually quit because they constantly get harassed.

        Edit: You shouldn’t downvote just because you have a different experience. Try gaming as a black female and see how differently you’re treated. I’ve witnessed some fucked up shit.

      Eh? This is not the thing driving people away. The price and lack of varied library is.

      In fact, if people were more aware of this, I think it’d be slightly more popular.

      Playing gorilla tag with a bunch of 12 year olds who enthusiastically want to help you get better at the game seems pretty wholesome to me.

      Gaming’s toxicity is entirely correlated to the actual game you’re playing. Team based competitive PvP is typically going to be more toxic than any sort of PvE or PvPvE game.

      Most of the true VRChat experiences happen in invitation-only rooms. It’s one of the apps where networking and growing a friends list makes a huge difference in terms of knowing where the party is happening.
