A few years ago, when I bought my Quest 2 headset, I decided to download vrchat, and I had the absolute worst impression of any app I have ever seen. I received a showcase of every horrible thing you could witness on the internet summed up in about 15 minutes, from which point I gladly deleted it from my headset. I found refuge in Altspace, but it has since been discontinued in April after being acquired by Microsoft 2 years ago, which they of course did absolutely nothing with. All my Altspac'ers went over to vrchat (and sometimes Horizons but that sucks rear end). I was dismissive of vrchat because it also sucks, it's complicated, and it always crashes on standalone headsets. After much opposition, they convinced me to come on. There's no avatar creator, so I had to go find one. At first I found some horror gore mutated bodies that I liked, but most of my friends couldn't warm up to these for some reason, so I had to find something more acceptable to the common online internet person. Then I found this:  Something about it felt highly relatable as if it was me. This was my spirit animal thing. It did not occur to me it was a "furry", until people started exclaiming that it was. I thought furries were just dog people and anthropomorphic airplanes that pet each other compassionately? But they are also this. And now, and what feels like it may be forever, I cannot stop thinking of hopping around as this blue little furry thing in vrchat. Every night I go to bed happy reminiscing about it. It has completely taken over my life.

be yourself OP, in whatever form that happens to take. Don't let anybody's judgement stop you. I played a catboy in a video game once (FFXIV, good game) and people mock me for it on occasion but I don't care, the gently caress do they know anyway? William Henry Hairytaint isn't even my real name. I'm immune to their taunts and I know that deep down they're just insecure because they really wanted to be a professional baseball player or an air traffic controller or something and they couldn't do it. Weren't good enough. So to make themselves feel better they sling poo poo at other people. I'm sure this happens in vrchat, too. They're not better than me. Just say that over and over again. They're not better than me. They're not better than me. They're not better than me.

Good Sphere posted:What the hell is that? Imagine if you will spawning into a public place. Your ears pick up the distant murmurs of conversations of "why lackidasy is better than mao mao" as your eyes adjust to a brightly colored big tiddy anime catgirl prefab that you've seen in a dozen other worlds. A small motion catches tour attention at the edge of your peripheral vision. Past the giant ad for a erp vrchat group you see them. They're all overly "attractive" avatars, focuses on either big busts, big butts, or svelte forms of anime or furry creatures. Its hard to say as you can only see them from behind. They say nothing, but do seem active, as they shift in their full body tracking from time to time. They're just staring at a wall... together. Curiosity peaked, you wonder past the large bilboard ad on finding a date in vrchat to get closer. You see the tiny indicator on the far side of the wall these beings are engrossed with. The button is almost hidden, but you see it- there is a mirror on the wall. You turn it on to see if there is something these creatures see that you don't, but as the reflection pops on and the sound of your gpu kicks on to struggle that 12fps output of poorly optimized mesh and materials, you are aware that they...are staring only at themselves. They are in a public place, and choose to only mindlessly gaze into the abyss of their own cleavage. That is the mirror dwellers.
