Cause there isn't enough anime girl avatars roaming in the VRChat. If only we could make an AI "companion"...

Eh.. i dont really give a ♥♥♥♥.

But what i do find interesting/dumb is how many of the user created avatar maps are anime waifus. Can we have more than like 5 male avatar worlds and more male avatars in general that arent dragon ball z or memes?

i dont have a problem with there being so many anime waifus but i do find it annoying how hard it is to find a good world when looking for males

Two reasons:
- 95% of avaters ARE female anime chars
- These anime girls tend to be of highest quality in terms of looks, functionality, etc.

Basically there are 2 main categories of avatars:
- "Cute" avatars that you use if you want positive reaction from people (eg. make some friends, talk, etc.) - these are usually anime girls
- "Fun" avatars to joke/roleplay. These tend to be very low quality (bad textures, glitchy animations, no eye movement, etc.)

There's also horror avatars but since I don't find them particulary scary you can argue they fall into "Fun" category aswell.

While I do agree that there are a lot of female anime character avatars in VRChat itself, I would like to postulate the argument that there is a plentiful selection of very high quality male avatars in MMD format ready and waiting for the VRChat conversion. They are every bit as slick looking and functional as the female avatars. I would also like to argue that the perceived statistic of 95% of avatars being female is off by a wide margin, as I often see plenty of male avatars, in particular Dragonball Z, Persona, Fate, My Hero Academia, and various soldier and robot types from various video games across the spectrum - not to mention the usual Felix, Astolfo, and Hacka Doll variants.

I think, instead, that a person just tends to notice a male player with a female avatar because it strikes them as "odd" for whatever reason. And they ignore the vast population of "normality" around them and concentrate on the abnormal. Calling it out in a public forum as being weird is a kneejerk reaction to a new experience and simply a sign of internet immaturity. Most of us have been on the internet long enough to realize that in places like VRChat, we can be whatever we want to be, and many people are chasing a unique and memorable experience that is different from their hum drum and forgetable daily life. One of the easiest ways to do that is to become something you are normally not -- in this case appearing as female. This holds true for tall people playing short avatars and vice versa. People who are six and a half feet in real life often play waist-high avatars to see what the world is like from a different viewpoint.

As a male, I don't think it's weirder than playing as Chun Li or Juri Han in Street Fighter, or creating a female character in World Of WarCraft or TERA Online.

its just the norm man, i mean i do male avatars but i did used to do female, but do to my voice it was awkward for me...

It's possible to create an AI.

Majority of avatars people port are Female, not many selections of male avatars out in public worlds. All of them are practically recolored Kagamine Lens.

Most quality male avatars are done personally person to person.

Watched abundant amounts of Bugs Bunny cartoons.

It's because MMD is easiest to work with.

This is VR Chat, you can be who you want. If you have a problem with it, you shouldn't play VR.

[Soapie]

because people are uncreative in general

[CrunchyKiwi]

well some reasons are. they like anime, like memes that involve anime, like that chracter that is an anime girl and so on. you kind of get the idea
