Others have had similar experiences. While others say it’s the best thing since the internet. Some people like ToFu. I find it bland and without flavor.
When asked “What are the general experiences”, I pulled from a few sources that corroborated mine and others experiences.
If the attitude of “This is bad” offends you, it is not my fault. Your personal tastes are not my fault. However, more and more reading can be done on the hellhole that is VRChat from others, from researchers, and from victims.
I stand by my sentiment. I will never see it in any light other than what it showed me. I choose not to.
As to the point about socializing. You are correct, they are indeed socializing. Again, research has shown that there’s levels to this, with engagement. Not having the social skills in the real world doesn’t mean they aren’t social online. You’re right. Have you been online lately in these lobbies? The verbal abuse and mental health issues are all over the spectrum. Socializing by reinforcement of mental illness isn’t what I would call healthy socialization.
Not saying they are all like that. I’m not a totalitarian. When the majority of experiences border on my own, I draw my conclusion. Until then, I assume it’s just me.
Would it be more accurate to say you have a categorical disdain for the way they are socializing? Why do you think that is (other than the obvious stuff, which seems to be more an anonymous internet thing than anything particular to VRChat)?
I'm genuinely curious because I see this attitude a lot and I don't understand it.
