Thank you for redirecting me to this thread,
@Sprate Header!
Your summary is informative enough for those who have not played VRChat enough to get a vague idea of the individuals present. I'll try to post what good I can from my perspective as someone who has fluently played and experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly.
>Daycare worlds are definitely the new trolling meta, everyone's making videos about them lately lol
ProximityChat has basically reiterated and popularized even further the new trolling meta on the game. However, what you don't see from this content is the overall pressures and effect it has on VRChat. A few months ago I joined the VR Daycare world shown in Proximity's video and it was completely in chaos with trolls. An issue with some of these 'VR youtubers,' who are almost like cows themselves, is that they're trying to farm content from places anyone can go to farm. While Proximity does a great job making content, unlike UrghBla and whonot... I have to say that it also arouses an influx of new users that send those lolcows into hiding. Nowadays I believe a majority of the age regressors/players are in hiding.
After Trump won the election, it was foremost in my mind that I should go check out Trans Academy -- since I saw many twitter screencaps of trannies losing their minds and thinking they're going to be killed -- only to find that there was no instance open (this never is the case, there is always a Trans Academy instance open). I joined the empty premade public instance and had 10 trolls join minutes later. Soon I found out that they made their new instances Group+, which means that you need to be part of the group or a friend of someone part of the group in order to join. The group in question is the "Trans" group with over 20k members.
The lolcow enjoyers of VRChat, or many of them, are pretty meticulous and watch from the sidelines. I know people who have had entire operations going on, with one person infiltrating and streaming to the rest of the group. Unless involving yourself minimally produces more content, then a lot of us simply enjoy watching live entertainment.
I'm not sure if this is helpful, but I felt like I saw zero content in this thread about the true experience, rather than just documented information from other sources. If I'm able to post about anything undercover, or even proper VRChat culture, I'd be happy to give my insights.
I’ll give you the whole story and everything. to begin ironheart first gained relevancy by joining /vrg/ at the age of 16 and jailbaiting people to erp with them. then after being kicked out 2 years later when he turned 18 he went and began to plot a mass shooting at their IRL meet. luckily some people caught him trying to recruit other people and was swiftly exposed and had the IRL meet canceled. he also gets banned from other communities for being a nazi larper and gets mad when that happens (he tried shooting himself once to guilt trip someone). he goes by many usernames such as IronHeart/Relsy/Rohm/Irons_/Slovy/Machiavellians as he gets banned from vrchat communities and tries to keep sneaking back into /vrg/ but gets found out every time as he can't keep his autistic mouth shut about politics. he is one of few major lolcows within vrchat and /vrg/. some people within vrg sympathize with him and are still friends with him but are most likely to manipulate him for erp and nudes as he is currently 19 so to 30+ year-old men that's fresh meat for them. currently, after all this he is trooning out and considering hrt after being groomed by vrg's trannys. just looking up his usernames on the desuarchive's trash section and you will find everything make sure to grab your popcorn!
Irons actually joined another VR 4chan board server a few months ago, and it took time for them to remove him because of crappy moderation.
I see /vrg/ get mixed up a lot with /trash/, so if you are going to do a section on /vrg/, please make sure to investigate both ends. I'm pretty sure /trash/ is where the true degeneracy lies, but a lot of the time they cross over into the another.
