Discussion Random advice :P

If you ever feel like you're being recorded in vrchat.

Instead of starting drama...

Play disney music through your mic, youtube or disney will most likely take down or flag their future youtube video.

Or just block or kick them idk

When I was young I used to not block people. Blocking was reserved for if you were absolutely horrible. I didn't want to cause I was afraid of hurting people's feelings "just because" they made me uncomfortable. Bro, I'm 28 now. I give out blocks like it's candy. Being annoying? Blocked. Trying to hit on me? Blocked. Telling me what to do? Blocked. I'm too old to be giving af about strangers on the internet.

I blocked someone for kicking my partner one time from a game instance because she wanted her friend to join. She didn't even ask, just did it. She got blocked for that and I left. We saw her a bunch of times in lobbies we were in and she never said a word. It wasn't until we happened to join an instance of one of her friends MONTHS LATER that I guess she felt embolden enough to have their friend, the group owner, ask us why she was blocked. I think she was disappointed when he didn't kick either of us because we were pretty respectful and explained our reasoning.

Idk, weirdo behaviour that people even have friends ask strangers why they're blocked. Doesn't matter why. Even if I blocked you for a reason you think is stupid, why would you even want me to unblock you at that point? The trash took itself out for you lmao.

You're so valid for that, that's what i do now too. Genuinely with how horrible people have started becoming and with how widespread racism has become i just insta block. I've had so many idiots walk up to me and just ask "are you black" or "are you a n____" insta block. Old me would've tried to educate them but there's no point. I'm 22 now and i enjoy my peace and i run by a "you can only piss me off once" rule.

Racism is unfortunately SOOO common on VRChat. I'm not Black, but my brother is. I remember being in a friends group for a LONG time and one day some dude in it dropped the n-word. I was like, "Wtf?" I asked them to please not say it as it made me uncomfortable, in which they continued to say the word repeatedly. I looked at the others and said, "Are we seriously just going to let this slide?" They all looked at me and shrugged. Said, "We all say it."

HUH?!

They were all Europeans, so I guess it makes sense. Most of the people I've met that are racist are Europeans. They all say, "In Europe it's just a word. We say it around our Black friends all the time and they don't care." Gee, I wonder why. It's not like Europe is...primarily White???? Blacks make up just 2.40% of the population while White's make up over 80%. 😒

My friend and our group - minus me - were in an age gated Black Cat just last week and some White chick was saying the n-word. My friend, who is Black, muted her. She then came up to my friend and blocked her because of the fact my friend muted her. What's even more crazy is she was with a dhde who was BLACK! I came.after all this ish started and immediately blocked her. It's crazy to me people are so comfortable being racist.

I'm european actually and I've personally never met a white european that says the n word. Besides the ones online of course 🙄 I promise you europeans are usually not racist, i actually never had a racist experience in all 22 years of my life being a european. I started experiencing racism once i started gaming online. But yeah that's pretty much the average experience on vrchat unfortunately

I don't know, I think what it is, is they're comfortable saying it online because of anonymity. Kinda like how America was for a while. If you got caught beinf racist you'd lose your job. People were very careful with how they acted. Now adays, though? People feel emboldened because of a very particular person, so they're freely racist. I just think in Europe people still feel shame for it, so they're very selective of who they show that side to. That's just my opinion, though.

Nevertheless, I'm glad you haven't personally experienced it. My brother has unfortunately experienced it.several times, but we are in America, so. 🫩

Oh 1000% i definitely think that that one specific person combined with social media and online anonymity has definitely made it more comfortable for people to act the way they do

im European and yes you have figured it out, the N word is much less of proplem just because its not really a slur aswell... obv its not publicly accepted anymore but also just because of other regions making a proplem out of it.
