@Yewnyx, it’s truly telling when you’re more focused on trying to discredit my points than actually addressing them. I understand it’s easier to throw out accusations than to acknowledge the very real issues I’m raising—issues that countless other users are experiencing and reporting as well.
Let’s be clear: I’m not here to stroke egos or play nice with convenient narratives. I’m here to hold VRChat accountable for a lack of proactive moderation that continues to flood its platform with NSFW avatars despite years of ‘subtle changes.’ And while you may be comfortable accepting ‘it’s complicated’ as an excuse, I’m not. Because ‘it’s complicated’ doesn’t explain why avatars running well-known prefabs like DPS and SPS aren’t caught before going public. ‘It’s complicated’ doesn’t explain why creators are able to upload and re-upload with no consequence.
And spare me the ‘nobody takes you seriously’ bit—it’s a cheap shot and, frankly, a desperate one. If nobody took this seriously, why is it sparking debate? Why are multiple people chiming in to defend VRChat’s lackluster moderation? The truth is, this conversation matters because it highlights a glaring problem that VRChat still hasn’t addressed.
I’m not hiding behind “a movement” or some fantasy of grandeur—I’m one person, actively reporting and documenting avatars breaking TOS while VRChat does nothing to address it long-term. If you want to pretend that my points are baseless, be my guest, but it won’t change the fact that these avatars are still being forced private daily because of my reports—not because of VRChat’s so-called improvements.
So instead of flinging around weak attempts to discredit me, how about you focus on the real question: Why does it take unpaid users like me to do the job that VRChat should have been doing all along? If you can answer that without deflection or cheap insults, I’m all ears.
