If VRChat can teach you anything, it's definitely that age ≠ maturity. While there is a trend, it is often violated.

The 7 year olds who just got VRChat: “It’s time to shout all the racial slurs”

in my experience, most toxicity comes from... 1. Underage users 2. edgy teen boys being homophobes/racists (often also 1) 3. non-quest elitists 4. E-daters 5. Easily butthurt people looking for drama to substitute IRL interaction or to feed their own solipsism ("it's all about MEEE" usually have a bio with a 100,000 word bio) 6. Both the butthurt people and the edgy teens reeing at eachother and then making all the normal users' days that much worse.

Thank you for inviting me to do the interview with you!

The amount of times I get shit on for just existing in vrchat is about twice, it's not much but weird that it has happened twice.

I think I was 14 when a group of middle age guys started ganging up on me because I defended ANOTHER little kid they were insulting because he was singing. They called me a wh*re and a mistake and being a 14 year old it got to me. When I would try to go to a different place in the world they would follow me and tell me I couldn't leave. Luckily a group started clapping back at them but they wouldn't back down. In the end we blocked and reported them but it hurt when they called me those things all because I told them to leave the other kid alone.

Shes right it should be 18+. This experience comes from going up as a kid myself, its NOT the NSFW+ which was the issue, it IS talking to other people in internet chatrooms which is the issue (for me it was chatandgo) as you encounter people that aren't in your age range (that of a kid). This being said the game should NOT be censored at all, but made for adults in mind, rather then a younger audience. However if this game continues to want to appeal to kids rather then adults then there should be community guidelines, censorship, and much more enforcement that needs to be added.

In my experience I think the most standout experience with toxicity in Vrchat was in the Black Cat, I was literally just walking around an then this kid just starts speaking extremely fast and insults my character for having a mole on it, I wasn't even being an ass. I was just existing and I start getting insulted for no god damn reason.

Best way to deal with all of the toxicity is to block it on sight. Remember, with the nuisance rank if someone is blocked or muted enough times it takes a toll on that individual's standing. Can it be used maliciously? Maybe. But overall blocking people who are being awful makes things a lot better. Just don't interact with those types, don't say anything back or do anything. Just block and move on, continue having fun.

he started folding nami when she licked his finger i’m dead 💀💀

"Every game has its toxic individual" *plays a regular clip of league* 🤣

Ive met a lot of adults and kids in vrc (I'm 15) most of the people are actually really kind no matter the age, but i have found a lot more toxic adults (20-40) than kids(in this case 9-13), the kids are annoying a portion of the time but there kids what can you really do, the racial slurs is a no go though cause the parents should do better in that case, and there are the chill kids who just vibe out and don't bother anyone, some actually being more mature than some adults, on the other hand, the adults are actually toxic, ofc not all but a portion, insulting people for no reason for there race, gender, if there a mute or not, what there doing, they will harass you about anything just cause they think they can, I've seen multiple grown men and women bully a kid(probably like 10) when he hadn't done anything bad, no slurs no nothing, he was just being a kid trying to have fun, they were telling him to get off the game that no one loved him and to go die, vile stuff to be saying to a kid, both age groups have there problems, like any social games of this scale do, but grownups, the fact they can be toxic and even argue with a child instead of just blocking them like an adult should to not give a kid doing something like that the attention, but instead actually harassing them which can affect a child's mind especially that young being told to die by the people there supposed to look up to as kids do, its disgusting but a reality we unfortunately have to live with

See this is why I stay mute most of the time now, and or go to places and just vibe by myself. Toxicity is just, everywhere. But it's still such a fun game to hang out in!

The range of toxicity I get for being a furry ranges between "fuck you, you're a furry, I'm going to block you. You're a disgrace" to someone constantly circling and chasing me telling me to kill myself, and that happened one time while I was exploring Vket, which I decided to do and I public instance because I was alone and figured seeing other people roaming around we kind of fun and add to the atmosphere. The toxicity is primarily why I just hang out in at least friends Plus or higher.

Hoooo boy, I remember just chilling in the library of Diluc's Tavern with some friends and this group of trolls in tiny avatars come in and start bugging us. I don't remember what they were saying but my friends blocked them and I just ignored them completely. Every time they tried to say something to me, I didn't respond or even look at them, I just kept talking to my friends. So they were like "I think he has us muted." Then one of them was like "Oh, he seems nice..." They just kinda went into their own corner and vibed. I guess they got bored since they couldn't get a reaction out of me.

Great video Twice !! I remember I was on Karaoke Central , just singing for fun and then , there was a guy saying to me " Can u stop singing ? You're really bad ." and I was ignoring , then he begin to say some bad words , but there was other people defending me and after that , the guy left the world . Again , great video Twice and I really enjoy watching your videos !!!

Something that VRChat needs is a world moderation feature. Adding people to a moderation team for your own world so that they can kick people from it for being toxic etc. The owner of said world can even ban said person from your own world. This is a way to deal with toxic people although it's still just a suggestion.

Yesterday I talked with this girl and boy and my convo was a little awkward, in the end they just couldnt hold their laughter of my presence and started laughing at me. That felt immensely bad, and still feels really bad tbh. I'm from Finland and socialization is kinda hard for me, although I like it and want to try even though it might not be that fluent too often. But yeah, that interaction yesterday left me with a feeling of getting bullied for the first time in VRchat. Good video, this is a topic that needs a lot of discussion, especially regarding this game. All of the best. :)

I first tried vrchat literally 4 days ago and I'm just getting into it. From my experience the best way to describe it is that it is all of the best AND worst aspects of the internet rolled into one thingl. If you can't deal with criticism from people who will say things for literally no reason then you probably aren't ready.

I had a general expectation of what I’d get on VRChat because it’s anonymous online users, like in any chat lobby. Just gotta have or develop thick skin. So when I come into contact with a toxic person, I generally don’t care or mess with them. If they become annoying, I mute and hide their avatar rather than block. Once I convinced a guy that I had blocked him by completely ceasing to acknowledge his existence. He was like, “Wait, did she block me?” And his friend came up and asked if I could see him. I looked around the room, as if I couldn’t. He was like, “Dude, she totally blocked you!” Even tho they both could see me, which should have tipped them off. 😂

VRChat for me is literally watching youtube / sleeping but in a different and better space than what is irl

Twice: I don't understand why they're throwing hands at each other. Also Twice: Has made 2 fighting videos *Great vid by the way! Love all the Mario music*

Ok ok ok let me just get something off my chest. As someone who has spent a lot of money just for vrchat and has played for more than 2,000 hours AND as someone who is 17, I can say that ALL the major toxicity I've seen comes from adults. And its not surprising that most of them act the way they do. Another thing, sure, kids get the game and scream racial slurs but... their kids, kids who get this game probably have played a rated M game before soooo idk why people care about child protection now. Its usually the adults with the issues, just projection and abuse that they go through in their life after a long day at work. Its sad when I walk into a black cat and I hear "your 17 eww minor" when im probably more mature than them, its sad, I hope some of the adults in the game can get the help they need. People really need to just stop blaming the kids for everything, its the parents who let them play the game in the first place.

I have to say the "toxic" in VRChat compared to other social platforms I've played and life experience is. .Don't hate me for this, but very childish. Like I've only been on VRChat about 2 weeks but I am totally open about who and what I am. So I have had people run up shouting what ever prejudice hate at me for it and it's so silly it comes off like them yelling "poo poo stinky head" at me. Even as far as to pull me to the side thinking they are gonna really hurt me with their words. But again it's so insanely childish they might as well be hitting me with "doo doo caca head". So the bad is very easy to handle and deal with, being one of the things I have been loving about this game. Hell I even got one guy that started throwing trans slurs at me and a few others to end up joining our conversation for awhile. Just by being calm and ya know, socializing with him. It was freaking great.

Got here quite early thanks to the discord! If your reading this make sure to join twice’s discord server!

Twice, you are gonna make me get an Oculus Quest when the new one comes out :D Love this VRChat Thing

This experience happened a while ago: I was in a black cat server and me and this guy were just hanging out and then a group of people come up to us and their like “Kill your self” and “Do you have a rope cause you should hang your self” and It really hurt me deep down but I was trying to stand my ground and trying to end the argument but that didn’t work so I just went to my friends world and we were chilling, VrChat has to be one of the most toxic games I’ve ever joined.

3:34 made me laugh. The silent damn never hit harder

I might be a year late but whew.. I started playing in VRC not too long ago, quite intriguing.. I went to my usual room which is quite small, it had it's up and downs but there's this one incident. This guy come up to me, give me some looks so I thought like they're taking a good look at my avatar or something... and once his mic is on, whew.. full of insults, threats and then just leave.. I have never been so confused in my entire life that I just shrug it off.

Nice to see a video about this, definitely had a moment or two and it’s really uncomfortable. Also the kid thing I 100% agree with, don’t want to take it away from them but also there’s a lot of things they shouldn’t see. Awesome video

Once I saw somone dox a kidwho had a german accent for "acting like a nazi" when he was just german.

I feel like it's really interesting to see people notice, discuss and work together to solve issues in the VR space, cause it gives me heavy like, SAO vibes where the show takes real issues with general online interactions and puts them in a more emphasized form factor like VR, and now we're seeing such things happen for real. That aside though, I do really hope that with the VR's emphasis of many aspects of online interactions and the emotions they bring, people will spread awareness of the dangers and cruelty of toxic behavior. Perhaps internet as a whole could even benefit from that.

good and interesting content as always, keep the good work coming!

2:24 perfect example of why no one can have sh*t in public worlds. :/ I hope one day the world becomes a better, safer and more accepting place.

this made me wanna go be toxic in vr chat 😈😈😈😈😈

I encounter people like this very often… I rlly don’t care bc I don’t ever take words personally but I mean just muting people is enough or I usually just go to a different instance

Another absolutely great video thank you for the great content my opinion and hopefully everybodies!3>

Lets hope that some form of voice filters become advanced enough that the general public would play vrchat, because the community really is a dealbreaker for me playing it right now.

Ur cousin Marvin a menace and hes great 🤣🤣

I have a racist experience while I was playing among us in VRC. There are 3 European who come to me and said... Peep 1: HAHAHA you sound like a fricking Asian Peep 2: Right, her English is freaking sucks. Peep 3: Hey, don't be so harsh on her Then i immediately left the server. Is it wrong for me to not have English as my first language... -_- the audacity tho... -_- This is not my first time tho... Similar experience but input Chinese and said some Chinese words i barely understand. -_-...do they think China, Japan and Korea are the only asian countries...? Duh~

its so sad that we live in a world where people have so little humility and need to be cuddled their entire life. toxicity is world wide and if you cant handle the toxicity in a video game then the world is much too scary for you.

That come back had me rolling

The amount of times I get ganged up on simply for being British is depressing, I don’t use VR chat often because most of the time it makes me feel more lonely.

the toxic people on vrchat usually being kids who only play vrchat when their parents aren’t home. they’re screaming all the bad words and slurs they heard from school.

and lack of social skills since alot of people playing games are traumatized and just want to get away from the real world

I love your videos and the quality you put into them is stunning! I actually saw you in one of those asl lessons from a previous video!

As a nice kind and caregiving kid of VR chat I've experienced some shit I wish I could just pour my eyes with lava.

This man be talking about ver chat when the real problem is rec room

Thank you for recording me spitting on my friend a minute in at the strip club

No don’t tell me vrchat has got the toxicity too😭

I don't meet strangers in VRC much unless I have the energy. Hanging out with friends is pretty much all I do.

there was this one kid who was bullying the heck outta me but all i could do was laugh. he had a fat club penguin avatar and had the worst mic quality EVER.

My first dislike on this video. Simply because it's easy to interview people that mostly get harassed/targeted while ignoring the things that make them an easy target to such problematic people. If you choose to write ur pronouns with all the life affecting mental disabilities you have into your public profile bio, people like you will see it and respect it, but everyone else will either look weird at you, won't care or choose to target you for whatever reason, one of them probably being for fun. Victims in such situations tend to get angry or offended very fast once they get insulted on one of the things they wrote about in their bio. Ur a woman? Get a sexual joke that is based on ur gender. Ur lgbtq? Get a comment that attacks ur gender, which already might hurt you enough bc of you simply putting ur gender on a more meaningful scale than others (this goes especially to people with such flags in bio or name). Ur a furry? Let's compare you to all the furries that later came out as sexual predators etc. Ur black? N- Ur white? Cracker/Gringo/Nazi/Racist Ur asian? Ching-chong. The list goes on with a lot of stuff. However. At some point, you have to grow up and learn that the internet is like real life sometimes. You can have your own kind of safe space and act the way you want with people you like around you, but if you openly make yourself an easy target to others without be willing to change yourself, you kind of deserve at some point the backlash you get. Compare it to bullying. It's bad and unfair to anyone that tries his best to adapt to society and still gets targeted. However, it also serves as a kind of mechanism that punishes selfish narcistic people etc. that otherwise would never learn where to stop. Like people that never got told no as a kid and now demand that everyone serves for them. In real life, if you unjustified get bullied and words have no affects, you can either allow yourself to get bullied or work yourself to a point (for example with workout) where you can defend yourself alone or get enough help to survive, or alternatively leave the place. On the internet, you can do this visually and with how you sound via voice. Whatever, never make yourself an easy target Online. Sure, you can say that in our world everyone should be welcomed and treaten good no matter what without consequences. Yet what this leads to are people in power that don't deserve it, like a toxic narcassistic person in class or a boss that trash talks everyone down (not to forget problematic groups like sexual predators). In such situations where normal arguing and discussions have become senseless, bullying or toxic responses tend to turn to the only kind of "natural" way to counter such problems from the mass/group when cooperation is not possible anymore. So, it's easy to call bullying bad. However, please always ask yourself what might be the reason that get''s you bullied. If you have pronouns on ur bio, take them out and go with an avatar that fits the best to what you actually are. Pronouns are liked by trolls bc it easily allows them to spot where people can attack/annoy you easily. If you have specific mental disabilities, take them out too. Anyone that cares will get to know about them as soon as they talk longer with you than 10 Minutes, to which point you already filtered out the trolls. Same goes for lgbtq with rainbow flag.

Maybe there should be a seperate vrchat platform for kids *only* might be a good idea, or an age verifier with an ID type of thing.

im aro/ace and at some point when just hanging out with my brother in VRC some guy came up and told me how i was gonna die alone and that its not a real sexual identity. i kept my cool and he got SO PISSED i wasnt arguing with him or getting mad at him being mean lmao he really wanted a reaction out of me

4:17 the word is antagonizing

i dont get too much toxicity in vrchat towards me but in other games i do and it really dampens your mood, if you go around being a prick to others for no reason please re-evaluate yourself. you may think people can just forget and move on but for some its not that easy and can permanently stick with them

I have found a bunch of toxic people on vrchat, and most of the time it is literally little kids who just their grubby hands on a vr headset and they just harass everyone. I hate little kids playing vrchat, they just ruin everything. I can't even find friends anymore since I am constantly finding these little kids in worlds. I just can't find any normal people who isn't obsessed with Huggy Wuggy, memes, and racism/homophobia.

i had a moment of toxicity where there were 2 dudes just cuddling eachother they werent gay and someone said this: "why are you guys gay that goes against the rules of god" or something like that i tried to defend him and then i crashed, i had another moment but i dont really want to talk about that.

Thank god your back😁😁

I honestly think some people on vrc are snowflakes

I love being toxic but i dont cross the line with my content

“When she says “VRChat’s a toxic place, people just hide behind their avatar and be whatever they want to” That’s very true but that don’t mean there won’t be consequences, it’s a double edge sword with this game. Also If someone is bothering you and haven’t done anything wrong and showing people avatar stuff, then you can just block him right away and waste no time.

The creeps came to me when I came across someone who is a MAP... But as long as they keep it RP, I didn't mind being the cub/sho-a. So I thought by distracting them, I was saving an actual kid. 🤣

Yyesss i really want to see a video based on fbt dancers cause that is such a big thing in vrchat

the misogyny that happens in VRchat is ridiculous like not even in VR do we get an escape from toxic men

This explains my behavior to be honest I hop on VR chat and start harassing people

Fr vrchat is prettty toxic in one side,I am mute and there are always people that are adults making funs of me bcs of my disability,but in the other i have the majority who accepts me

I’ve been in the black cat as a public world many a times and I’ve honestly come across literal groups of underage kids running around with adult erp avatars using all the inappropriate toggles and such. The game should have a age verification system so when you set up your account your age is taken so certain aspects of the game are locked to anyone that is too young.

i've noticed something in Vrc when people get toxic they always circle around you while yelling just like at 1:10

Your videos are so entertaining! Keep up the good work

Your cousin be going crazy 😂😂

Probably the funniest experience I had was another guy having a blast at Battle discs, while drinking himself, singing into the mic. He was so hilarious!

Bro I'm currently homeless and living out of my car and the one thing I'm looking forward to to make this situation bearable is when I'm able to get a mobile hotspot and use it with my quest headset to talk to my friends. The quest makes it unique in that I don't have to have a computer and can use it standalone until the battery runs out. I miss my friends I made there.

I wish there were just more moderators that could make rulings on certain stuff like bans and harrassment, and maybe a way for those in the drama of whoever is getting banned to have like a "virtual court" where the other ppl in the server can give their opinion on what happened and their opinion on the moderators decision.

For someone being toxic to me in game, I just have fun with it and watch them explode. So if it's in a game chat, I just respond,"?." If its in voice, I just respond with, "Hm?"

BE NICE EVEN TO THE MEAN KIDS be nice even to the mean kids BE NICE, *EVEN* TO THE MEAN KIDS!

I've noticed the toxicity exists in mainly public worlds. Id like to find more people who use private worlds but with lots of new people. It would be nice. And just have a kid free zone. I'd like to get a group of people for movie nights and stuff.

your cousin honestly makes me laugh cuz he is litteraly just a loud = funny and that just brightens my day!

BLOCK PEOPLE. Had a friend get into an argument with a group of people and he kinda lost it. Just press a button and boom they're gone. If someone wants to bug you block em. VRC ultimately should not have kids on it. It has fun vr games but it's first and foremost a social game. A social game with a platform of mostly mature people who probably shouldn't be socializing with kids. A band-aid solution would be an under 18 or kid report button. After enough reports they get a kid tag that people can choose to automatically block in settings.

Nah you putting speed when talking about kids is funny af☠️. Especially knowing he 17

I remember when i was a nuisance, most boring period of my vrchat life. Now im a user omw to be a kniwn user

I can agree with this, it does not bother me but if it does bother you, just block them and be over with it.

I remember when I played vrchat and I was with a little kid in McDonald’s and we drove through the drive through because some person was playing some nsfw anime sounds😑

8:26 i- I cringed so hard 😭😂😂 LOOOL HAHAH

Always good to see another Twice video :)

The work that one person was talking about is antagonizing not interrogating

Toxicity will never disappear, but like some wise man once said "If there are no evil on this world, whats so special about being good"

i avoid the black cat and that one movie world at ALL COSTS. i joined for 2 seconds and was immediately called a slur

This guy reminds me of those cyber-bulling teachers ngl. Keep doing this it's great for mental support to people in VRchat.

Me literally feeding off the toxicity because it's nothing compared to the bs irl. Lmao

Modern Warfare 2 lobbies have really evolved over the years.

13:59 I'm just gonna add something about the limited age of vrchat. I'm 16yo and I've seen a lot of people say that vr chat is not a 13+ game because there is akward people in this game. First the limited age of a game is based on the gameplay and not the community but we can question this because vrchat is a social game but at the start vrchat was not like that there was some basic world without bad world, the community add it. For me it's not about the kid on vrchat, if they have them place in this game or not it's about the community, in loading screen vrchat add advise to person "don't be toxic blah blah blah", but there is toxicity by 18+ too and I have experience that. (im french so if there is a lots of typo excuse me )

i think they should make different account types like rec room does, a junior account, and an adult one (16+). of course a kid can just jump in and make an adult account, but i once read on reddit the idea of having a 1$ verification that shows on the credit card like "Vrchat Adult account pass" that a parent can read and know about it.

Thanks for giving me a better understanding to put my words into place in my own mind

If you insult or abuse people abusing anonimonity, pretty much means you'd do that in real life as well if there was no punishment, and that says a lot about you as a person. People saying "I'm like that only in the internet" are living a lie.

YOOO ANOTHER TWICE VIDEO LESGOOO

I've never agreed with an entire video like this more than I do now. Subbing for that.

“Oh these are my vr chat girlfriends” Nah that was a W🤣😭

10:30 +18 world's. Hell when you make and upload world's they have a check box for NSFW. Like why is VRCHAT not enforcing their +18 integration
