Please consider Setting all Content Filtering options on as default, in an interim easy toggle now. I know age/content hard gating is in development, I am excited and can’t wait for it! Set all Content Filtering options on as default | Voters | VRChat. I know the system was disabled because content creators were overtagging with this system in the early days, and I know this system is not yet tied to verified age, but please please turn it on by default. So many people don’t know it exists. It allows people who tag their avatars correctly to not display to those that choose to not see certain kinds of content in the game. This could prevent all users from seeing content they don’t want to, and actively choose to consent to seeing language/gore/adult themes.
I dislike the hypothetical situation where someone can join a private event, with the group/event having clearly defined rules and description, in an age verified 18+ instance, but ANY one Individual could still technically not “consent” to seeing certain content, and potentially report it.
If this older content filtering was on by default, the potentially offended user would have had to ACTIVELY choose to turn off certain content filtering, they at that point consented.
From the 12/18/25 Post:
This would serve the purpose of gathering consent. In those cases, you should also run that instance or event as an 18+ Verified Group instance. As always, use your own best judgment – it is your responsibility to ensure that attendees know what they are walking into, and you should employ every tool available to let them know, and fulfill that responsibility.
I will and have been as a group admin using all these tools, and will be diligent in doing so continuing on. But I see this being one more “every tool available” that we can use to gain active conscious consent.
