The devs released an update yesterday that publicly adds something I feel should have been in the game a long time ago: age verification. Unfortunately, they messed it up by putting the feature behind a paywall.
Still strange to A/B test with paid users rather than making it purely random or opt-in.
Could also be an easy vector of "we're working on it, it's in early access!" to curb any controversy - when they have very little intention (or priority for) actually implementing it globally.
Releasing a new feature to paying subscribers of a freemium service before general availability is not uncommon. Plenty of free to play MMOs will do exactly that and this isnt the first time VRChat has gone down the "Closed Beta -> Paying Subs -> General Avaliability" release pipeline.
I feel like if VRChat wanted to do a "Aha its actually a paid only feature you were tricked" rug pull they would have done it with something thats more desirable to the playerbase, like the mobile clients or group instances. Because a rug pull like that works exactly once so it would be kind of dumb for VRChat to save their one free rugpull for something that most players are going to do as a requirement to access kid-free instances or so that the era of "you have to send the owner of this random ass discord server a full pic of your ID" comes to an end rather then something they actually want.
Also a key indicator that they arent doing this as a rug pull is that they are explicitly preventing IDs from being used on more than one account to make ban evasion harder. If they wanted money, they wouldnt do that so that they can ban accounts and their alts will buy a new subscription to VRC+
Also if they were doing this for money they wouldnt allow non VRC+ users to get the age verifacation in the first place, but they did with the initial closed beta and those users got to keep their verifacation.
Its much more likely that they are doing this as part of a phased rollout/live testing procedure rather than a rugpull to make more money off socially stunted retards with enough disposable income to buy a headset.
Wait, if the verified-only setting for an instance is toggleable, won't that just mean all the unverified kids on the game will just end up in unverified instances where no one is verified or at least doesn't have to be? And thus people that want to play with kids will just go to instances that don't toggle it on...??? Am I missing something here? This seems to only "protect" kids if the instance owner age-gates the instance. But doesn't prevent kids from playing the game, which is sort of the central issue. You can optionally make an instance adult-only. But you can't keep adults out of instances with kids, and you can't have a kid-only instance. Unless I'm misreading something this seems completely pointless.
I'm still not touching this shit. Being surrounded by retards perving on literally everyone, not just children, or telling their "super serious" life story while using a fucking furry avatar is some the gayest shit I've ever heard of, and every single video I've ever seen regarding this "game" solidifies that. There is no improvement they can make to make this "game" less cancerous and painful, the only way is full sail removal of the pests, and at that point you have no player base to speak of.
They were THIS freaking close to fixing the problem and they had to let their greed get the better of them. This is downright Roblox moderation levels of Akham's Razor going on.
Sorry to interrupt the news, but while doing some research related to the Splatoon GMOD thread, I stumbled upon MissBreezyKawaii, a tranny VRChat boobie streamer and someone who I think should be covered in this thread.
He used to be Captain BAZ (which comes from his initials, Bryce Aaron Zimmer). I covered him a little in this post tracking everyone involved in the Lewd House scandal in the Splatoon GMOD community, but I found this Google Drive specifically related to MissBreezyKawaii and I thought it prudent to write a post about it. I apologize if I do miss or gloss over something, there is a lot to go through in this Google Drive. For most images, they were under the "Controversies" folder; I will include paths to the image if it's from there/can be found in there.
Most images here will be under 9. Past History (2017-2022).
From his DeviantArt, Captain BAZ was both a traditional artist and a Splatoon GMOD/SFM artist. He listed his birthday as October 8th; a later unmask by cpt.bozo revealed his birth year as 1989. By the time Splatoon 1 came out, he was already 25, so one can probably see the upcoming issues here. Instagram Post/(Partial) Archive
Online documentation of Captain BAZ seems to start in 2017 by the account “christianmomsagainstcaptainbaz,” an account which was run by two lesbian Italians, Ika and Octopie. At first, it was just calling him out for being too attached to Marina (to the point that it kept him from being suicidal, in his words) and taking art without crediting the original artist.
(9.4 - Sept 7 2017 2-3)
He apparently held a “wedding” with Marina, including all of his Splatoon friends on Instagram.
(9.4 - Sept 7 2017 8 )
He was doing all of this self-shipping instead of spending time with his wife and 3 kids.
(9.4 - Sept 7 2017 9; Sept 9 2017 1; Sept 7 2017 14)
The Italians obtained proof that Captain BAZ would trace from art bases and other people’s art, and would take art to repost or recolor without credit.
(9.4 - Sept 8 2017 11 (Art Trace 1-8 ))
Captain BAZ eventually caught wind of the Italians’ account. He tried to take them down and sent his fans against them; eventually claiming victory after blocking the account and anyone that followed them.
In response to the tracing, Captain BAZ put out his defense.
(9.4 - Sept 9 2017 7-8 )
The two Italians were sent proof of a roleplay account Captain BAZ had, where he roleplayed as Marina and pretended to be "his girlfriend." He exposed himself by sending the same picture on both the roleplay account and his main account.
(9.4 - Sept 9 2017 18-22)
The reveal:
(9.4 - Sept 9 2017 23-24)
After this was exposed, BAZ started to spam in the Italians' comment section, and threatened to kill himself (obviously he didn't)
(9.4 - Sept 10 2017 5, 8, 10-11)
Since this didn't work, BAZ tried another approach: he claimed to have found their identities.
(9.4 - Sept 13 2017 7)
The Italians called his bluff, and he quickly became homophobic. 1st Instagram screenshot/Archive
(9.4 - Sept 13 2017 15-16)
He got so enraged by these Italians that he sent death threats.
(9.4 - Sept 13 2017 18-19, 22, 24)
Despite these DMs being made public, BAZ tried to claim he wasn't homophobic.
(9.4 - Sept 18 2017 1)
But after this, nothing much came from BAZ for the rest of 2017, aside from some odd posts.
(9.4 - Sept 18 2017 14-15; Sept 30 2017)
I don't know much about 2018 BAZ, other than this stop.captain.baz account dunking on BAZ for his Splatoon GMOD "art" and his past attempt at trying to roleplay as Marina.
(9.8 - 1, 4)
Sometime between 2018 and January 2019, BAZ groomed someone by the name of marina_bae, then was caught and apologized for it. If frantic_feelings isn't lying, BAZ coerced her to send pictures. He would later announce that he is going to rehab, which the anti-Captain BAZ accounts saw as an attempt to gain sympathy. Apparently, BAZ's sister-in-law commented on these posts, revealing that BAZ hits his kids and supposedly left a handprint on his then 1 or 2 year old daughter and that he is going to rehab because of CPS.
(9.8\stopcaptainbaz 2 - 3, 4)
He would go live on Instagram to defend himself. Some examples:
(9.3 - Snapinsta video 1, 6)
Side note: did this girl admit to being a victim of statutory rape in the second live? WTF?
A Marina-themed Amino group would hear about this in April and ban him; his response was to (pretend to) drink bleach in an attempt to (pretend to) kill himself, and post as his wife.
(9.3 - 1, 5, 6, Snapinsta video 26)
Multiple Instagram accounts would be created opposing Captain BAZ, and like #MeToo, multiple victims throughout 2019-2021 would send these Instagram accounts recounts of their experience with BAZ (with varying amounts of veracity). By my count, there were 15 different victims across Instagram and Discord, documented by the 8 Instagram accounts used in the Google Drive and a callout Google Doc. BAZ used many different Instagram accounts over the years, so while the name may be different in the Instagram screenshots, I believe them to be talking to BAZ.
marinaded.boi, "rokkandkey" claims to be marinaded.boi here and says she is 11 in this conversation - I believe this person may also have been marina_bae, but I'm not sure; either way marinaded.boi seems to be one of the most hurt by BAZ 1st Instagram Post/Archive; 9.3 - 70; 2nd Instagram Post/Archive)

One of the victims (the Marina body pillow minor) confirms that CPS took his kids temporarily (due to abusive home) and that his wife divorced him because of his obsession with Marina. In his rage, he called his wife a "nigger-loving whore" (funny considering his waifu)
(9.5 - 25; 9.3 - 66)
Of course, Captain BAZ took charge and addressed the accusations in a multitude of ways:
Called them fake and told his fans to report them:

In a move similar how he dealt with christianmomsagainstcaptainbaz back in 2017, he found antikrakenaction's name and pretended to send police to his address, in an attempt to intimidate him into deleting the account.
(9.2 - 28-31)
While all of this was going on, the anti-Captain BAZ accounts did some digging and claimed that he had a PornHub account (shocking, groomer is a coomer) called KingOfBonerz (worth noting one of the Instagram handles he used in the past was king_of_krakens). The account uploaded some weird stuff, one of the videos being the video uploader screwing a Marina body pillow that had the same design as the one BAZ has.
(9.5 - 8, 73-75)
BAZ’s defense was that the KingOfBonerz account owns an Octoling amiibo, but BAZ doesn’t, so they can’t be the same person.
(9.5 - 11)
It’s possible the account wasn’t his (he's probably not the only person in the world with that Marina body pillow) but I honestly think it was.
The Instagram account weirdsplatoonfans managed to unmask his address, but it is out of date since he moved to Michigan.
(9.9 - 24; 2nd Instagram Post/Archive)
Anyways, cpt.bozo gathered all of Captain BAZ's accounts for an unmask and a report raid to take them all down. 1st Instagram Post/Archive 2nd Instagram Post/(Partial) Archive
As this raid went down, BAZ started to transition, both his accounts into a new character, Breezy, and himself into a woman.
(12. - 1 (Youtube), 2 (Youtube), 2, 3)
When his Captain BAZ accounts went down (probably from the raids) he fully transitioned into the Breezy character and now fully into VRChat.
(12. - 3 (Youtube), Screenshot 2024-06-14 081226)
TL: DR; Splatoon fan who was way older than the target audience, was an “artist” who was obsessed with Marina from Splatoon 2, was found to be reposting art without credit and was an art tracer; was so obsessed with both Marina and grooming minors (as young as 9) that his wife divorced him. After losing his old accounts, he came back as VRChat "Goddess" Miss Breezy Kawaii.
Now calling himself "Brianna," Bryce on the “Miss Breezy Kawaii” channel would start to make highly-sexualized content on his YouTube channel. He leaned hard into lewdness, even making an Onlyfans account and promoting it on YouTube.
(27. - 1, OF Bio) [the OF Bio picture is out of date compared to the modern one]
Despite being so sexualized, it seems that none of his videos are adult-only; anyone with or without an account can watch any of his YouTube videos. His YouTube Community posts are especially gross.
Most horrifying, he brought his oldest son into VRChat, also confirming that he somehow still has custody of his kids (poor kids ) Link/Archive
Egregiously, on January 5th, 2025, Bryce uploaded a stream where his friends enabled the NSFW parts of their VRChat avatars. This stream isn't age restricted BTW, I was able to access it without a YouTube account.
From this livestream: (too big to archive in this post, I do have it (unfortunately) downloaded)

The people behind the Google Drive tried to report this video, but unfortunately their reports were dismissed and the video stayed.
"This stream was immediately reported to youtube for their sexual content policy.. But they suddenly deny the report making the video remain public for minors/adults to watch."
(29. - A Note For Context.txt)
Going a little back in time now; Bryce needed a VRChat avatar for his channel, so he went to a VRChat friend and got an avatar. He would later accuse this friend of scamming him, claiming the friend said that the files for the avatar were lost in a factory-reset, so said friend will not be working on the avatar anymore and thus wasting over $200 over the years. I believe this friend to be Bnnuy Curves, based on Bryce's Discord bio after the "scam."
(16. - Breezy_s community post, IMG_20231215_231357_863)
Someone got in contact with Bnnuy Curves and found out the real reason Bryce claimed he was scammed: Bnnuy caught him trying to teach "stuff" to a kid in a "secret room" (), kicked the kid out of the room, and started bullying Bryce for 5 hours straight ()
Drama YouTuber Eternal Maxwell also contacted Bnnuy, revealing that Bryce implied the money he gave was a tip, and he only paid in total $112.
(16. - Confront photo, Discord photo 1, Discord photo 5)
And of course, once a pedo, always a pedo, so of cource Bryce acted inappropriately to minors as Miss Breezy Kawaii.

Having compiled enough evidence, Eternal Maxwell created a Dropbox containing all of Bryce's known controversies, both as Captain BAZ and as Miss Breezy Kawaii. Bryce caught wind of the Dropbox and immediately reported it, taking it down.
(5.\5.4 - Missbreezykawaii Falsely suspended sharing activity on DB)
Bryce threatened to sue Maxwell, and Bryce claimed to have Maxwell's dox. Unlike in the past, this wasn't an empty threat; Bryce would post Maxwell’s face, GF, school, and state in a YouTube Community Post. He would send death threats and violent remarks (very feminine, "Brianna") towards Maxwell.
(5.\5.1 - 20230422_115450; 5.\5.6 - Screenshot 2025-01-07 154255, Screenshot 2025-01-07 154434) Link/Archive

When Maxwell made a video on Bryce trying to sue him, Bryce immediately reported that and took it down as well.
(5.\5.4 - Privacy Complaint Notification, Video Deleted by MissBreezyKawaii by abusing privacy system)
Bryce’s girlfriend and then-channel manager Miss Florence/cuzwecare1662 (someone he managed to hook up with after his transition) pretended to be a Google Dev in order to intimidate Maxwell.
"Breezy FINALLY realized that cuzwecare1662 is NOT an actual google dev after using that to scare eternal maxwell."
(21. - About cuzwecare1662.txt)
The stress of dealing with this apparently made Florence have a miscarriage, which Bryce prompty blamed on Maxwell, along with other insane accusations, such as claiming that Maxwell wrote to Bryce and said he and his friends were going to gang rape him.
(5.\5.3 - Screenshot 2024-06-24 091929)
Despite this, it doesn't look like Bryce and Florence were too close. Bryce broke up with her on April 17, 2024, supposedly due to her trying to take Bryce’s computer for scam money. Bryce claimed that Florence was “mentally, physically, verbally, and sexually” abusive. Florence would later call out Bryce on her personal Facebook, stating that Bryce was the abusive one.
Bryce's side:

(21.\21.2 - Community Post)
Florence's side:

Not content with leaving things as is, Bryce went after Florence and her new girlfriend, Anastasia. Bryce claimed that both were meth heads, Anastasia went around having sex for meth, and Florence had sex with her family members. On his Facebook, he would post his DMs between him and Anastasia.
(All under 26. Feud with Anastasia O)
Now normally one out of the many controversies would destroy any social media presence, but somehow Bryce still exists on the Internet as Miss Breezy Kawaii. In fact, he is 20 subscribers away from getting 2,000 subs, and he was streaming the day of when I was typing this.
I think the only reason he got away with this is the fact that no one else seems to have noticed him; I never would have learned about him if not for a random piece of art he did for a friend (who got caught up in a scandal I was researching). Horrifying to know this is the kind of person that dwells on VRChat.

I wanted to include this at the end, but I would have hit the character limit
I have also tried to compile direct links (and archives if possible) to everything I could in the Google Drive, under the Controversies folder (since it was really the only section that needed the direct links). If it doesn't have a link, it's either gone, not directly linkable/archivable (like a Discord screenshot), or I couldn't find it.

Vrchat is a cesspool and age verification is going to help for those few "normal" (as normal as you can be playing VR chat) people that don't want to spend thier time with children, but all in all it doesn't do anything to stop pedos from finding kids. As long as they are allowed on the platform it's gonna happen
Also I really don't think we should be calling it a game it's not it's a weird social media platform, and I think if people were to change the perspective of "It's a game! Kids can play it" to its an adult social media platform and tell parents its that it would help.
But at the same time these people give their kids an iPad and let it raise them so what do you expect?
I found this degenerate on twitch. Also on tiktok and youtube, talking about licking shit off the bathroom floor and cock cages and multiple sex buddies and literally even having a device hooked up to him that sends shocks as part of the kink. Normally, this stuff would just be fucked but not really phase me with other shit I've seen, but this got me:

Person is still very much active, according to some People they pop in and out the “Pediverse” although they don’t post “content” anymore. On top of this there’s a 1+ hour video of them having esex with minors. They also have been spotted on 2chen making new posts with their avatar to inform people they’re still on the “prowl”.
A little side story from the ongoing Glass thread, Glass had a stream on Friday March 14th, which UrghBla joined call with him to argue with him, as per usual. What is interesting is that a random Glass viewer asked to join the call to get mad at UrghBla for not taking his predator claims seriously from an earlier discussion in UrghBla's Discord.
For context, UrghBla is a regular character in the Glass story, being someone who presents themselves as a VRC "To Catch a Predator" content creator, before focusing on Glass A-logging.
Glass used this as a situation to shit on UrghBla for not actually doing real work to protect children (while Glass himself has twice sent pictures of his balloon shaped penis to underage girls). The conversation takes a turn when chatters uncover that this caller (MicKux) has himself been exposed for being a VRC Predator himself. MicKux eventually stops talking, leaves call, and leaves their Discords.
MicKux call-in stream segment is covered in below video:
MicKux used to go by XAV on VRC/Discord and SmurfinnXD in Roblox, video goes over various events from 2023/2024 about him preying on children. He also has his own YouTube channel where he trolls in VRC as well as exposes predators.
EDIT: Sileskios' video description has a linked Google Doc with more information about MicKux.
Sample chat message snippet from Google Doc
Here is MicKux sending himself cumming to the decoy (posing as 16 year old)
This private information is unavailable to guests due to policies enforced by third-parties.
From being active in the Glass thread, I genuinely feel like there is a strong correlation between VRC content creators doing "predator expose" content and they themselves participating in degenerate and predatory behavior. Characters like Glass, Sam Saint, UrghBla, Prodisty, Solar, and now MicKux have all seemed to have degenerate and/or predatory behavior documented one way or another.
I don't know if it's a combination of guilt, projection, and/or hiding degeneracy ("how can I be a predator if I catch them?"). But the culture of VRC seems to breed this degenerate behavior which attracts predators at a relatively high rate.
I don't know if it's a combination of guilt, projection, and/or hiding degeneracy ("how can I be a predator if I catch them?"). But the culture of VRC seems to breed this degenerate behavior which attracts predators at a relatively high rate.
Genuinely makes me wonder if VRC is an actual mindworm that turns people into degenerates (or at least awakens something in these people that was otherwise dormant). Even if you go in saying "I'm here to troll" or catch predators or whatever, after enough time you end up like them.
I imagine any extended amount of time surrounded by those kind of people fucks with your head, VR probably accentuates it.
