RP groups ruin vrchat and people

[404]

My experience with VRChat was like opening Minecraft for the first time, incredible, I spent a lot of time going between the worlds and having fun in them, I met completely random people who are still my friends to this day, but that stopped being cool and became disturbing when and joined a PR Group.

Roleplay groups are nothing more than a time pass, over time this begins when they enter your life due to the time invested in them, often to increase the rank it takes you up to 1 to 6 months by necessarily going to events and other things , it's dozens of hours and sometimes hundreds of hours, I felt trapped, I couldn't get out anymore, not because someone trapped me but because I stuck to the time I spent in these groups, I didn't have the courage to leave, I didn't have the courage to press the delete or exit button, and because of that, what was cool initially completely consumed me.

I discovered cases ranging from attempted murder, doxxin, mental abuse of certain people, pedophilia and the use of intimate images of other people for grotesque purposes, you can even have fun initially in RPs with random people but a lot of what happens stays in the STAFF and it is not public.

Drama, Vrchat is the only game and the only social network that I listen to this, Drama..., when someone is abused it's drama, when someone lies it's drama, when someone uses all their community to attack other people Drama, if you If you see this, leave the community immediately, because the day you say that something very serious has happened, they will make it clear to the entire community that you are D R A M A.

Other people may have a completely different experience than mine, that's 50/50, you can join a really cool community, but you'll only find out after a long time and it may be too late...

If I go to a world and am greeted with:

"AGE AND DATE OF BIRTH?"

I might say I'm over 18 or over 21 or whatever but if that is not enough for them...

...I leave right away and that is a nogo group/world for me. I'm not telling random strangers online my date of birth. (I could just make my own instance without some "age requirement" on a 13+ game)

I think these people ruin the game especially when they try to age restrict stuff that has really ZERO reason to be age restricted.

I don't go to the "virtual bar" worlds but I have seen videos. They seem like they choose to get an UNpaid job online that they HATE and want the POWER to get people to tell their ages or get kicked. They seem super unhappy from what videos I saw and doesn't seem welcoming or good at all. Very much hate that stuff. I will personally never go to a "virtual bar" world and if I did I would make an instance with NO age limit.

Also I don't see an issue with RolePlay stuff although I bet there are bad ones out there that just want drama and a fake feeling of authority.

That's another problem, it's all over Vrchat, at least it doesn't depend on it being a RolePlay Group for this to happen, I think that because of a fictitious power that people gain over anything, people get corrupted, I had the misfortune of falling with people like that, today I at least understand what to avoid and how to better avoid it, (Letting it be clear, I'm not saying all this about a specific group but my experience on vrchat in several groups)

BASED (i shouted to myself in my mom's dimly lit basement). Future is sure looking bright for me! Another 1000 hours in vrchat and blender and i will become an unstoppable porn making machine. Look out my fellow vrchatians im coming up in the world!!

[uye]

can confirm, my first and only participation in a rp group was in a clone wars group, once i became HR the group started falling apart, two VERY narcissistic clans started tearing everyone apart because neither liked eachother and both wanted control

i left shortly after one of them tried accusing me of being a pedophile because i was one of the few actively opposing their quest for power, group died a month later

What I take away from this is that these people don't understand that drama exists everywhere, and everyone everywhere accuses anyone to be nazzi or a peterphile if they dislike the person. It's not unique to this game, it's not unique to RP groups.

Just continue to explore groups while vetting them for maturity. If they're immature (as in, false accussations/disturbing behavior) then report it, block those people, and leave. Making a random post somewhere no one will care while generalizing all RP groups as bad because of your bad experience with very few of them is basically doing what they did - "I run this group ahaha, I don't like this person, I'm gonna spread a rumor that they're bad and evil" vs "I got called names in a group, all groups are bad and evil!"

I can understand, saying that all Roleplay groups are all problematic is very bad but it wasn't a case but my experience with all this, generalizing is very bad, but people have naturalized these things, "Just block" or "report ", but almost all groups are on discord and discord and Vrchat are completely different things.

Who did you report to? for group admins? or to the Discord admins? or report on Vrchat?, Vrchat has become a toxic community because of this, when you say report, you already know that nothing will happen.

Almost all the people who use Vrchat and discord are between 12 and 20 or 23 years old, how will I know that I am being manipulated by several people?, you may have experience because you have seen this several times and realized that the The only thing you can do is press the block button, and pretend that nothing happened, not everyone has a completely shielded mind to see their photos being leaked by a person you believed in, or because they were victims of doxxing.

The chance of entering and encountering a manipulative, Nazi, and even pedophile group is so huge that I don't understand why vrchat has children on it.

From your point of view Maturity or being immature just shows that I should simply pretend that nothing happens and nothing happened, I even had to block my accounts and leave them private because completely toxic people started appearing on my profiles, this is another proof that this community is dead .

It's a Community Problem... It seems most people in the community like bad things and are promoting them. It shouldn't be that way. We should be experiencing a nice, safe, and welcoming experience from everyone.

I don't think I've been more offended in vrchat than what you talked about here. I've been harassed, called names, my religion be insulted, been a target of crashers, etc. but the these kids acting like bouncers to a "virtual bar"? that pisses me more off than everything I've experienced.

kid: "I need your personal age and birth date"
me: "I'm over 18"
kid: "No I need you Birth date"
me: "I'm not giving you my personal information"
kid: "then your going to have to leave"

I just want to talk to some friends, but no, I somehow needlessly need to say I was born at **/**/**** which changes nothing because anyone could lie about their age. I wasn't born yesterday, people pay a lot of money for my info, I'm not giving it to you for free.

RP aint the problem, the people making such groups and controling them are.

Problem isnt about rp, erp, or roleplaying, but bad people using such tools to do ♥♥♥♥♥♥ things. The problem is the people involved.
