If you are going to DETOUR. This is like kind of a preemptive warning. BRING HEARING PROTECTION. Your hearing is one of the most valuable things in this world do not damage it.

I laughed at the fact she couldn't even answer if she voted for him the second time. (She alluded that she didn't vote at all.)

4koma of Jonathan Frakes on "Beyond Belief". The first frame has him looking at the camera asking: "Have you ever burst through the door to the emergency room?" The second frame has him holding a piece of paper saying "Have you ever consulted a receptionist?" The third frame has him standing by a desk asking "Have you ever spoken with a doctor?" and the last frame with him next to a TV with a waveform on it while he asks "Have you experienced loss?"

I'd never seen the meme before and was wondering when he recorded this. 😅

Jk, the giant avatar picture is a bit jarring but it's nice overall.

Put it back like you found it!

“People need to be nicer to each other online” and “people need to develop thicker skin because it’s not normal or healthy to get upset at everything you don’t agree with” are two statements than can and should coexist actually

I'm sorry to hear you're being/feeling sidelined. I've always felt your presence lights up the room, your contributions cannot be missed, and you're quick with the text box. Know you can come hang out with me anytime! You're appreciated Kana~ 💗

*play a sport

I like music, I like chill. I won't pay a sport forreal (but a videogame is a different story).

Woah, congratulations!

TUBE does not allow very poor dancers. Ask me how I know. 😁

i feel like a lot of people need to realize the rave scene isnt the only community in vrchat, we are a extremely tiny sphere in this game along with hundreds of other communities

It's a good analogy. I use the house analogy a lot when people complain about people being on orange (not really something that happens in the rave community, but it does in others).

Correct, it's only for groups! I personally compared it to dressing up for an event.

Also, hot take, but VRChat is its own mini society and societies need some social pressure. Social pressure is good sometimes. Can't turn on your friend in the perf gated instance? Tell your friend to be better, and then show them how to get there.

Friend don't wanna? They get to be PS1 tonight.

Much like 18+ instances, I do not think performance gating is going to be the apocalypse of raves some people are posting like it's going to be.

Clubs who didn't care before shouldn't start now. Those who've always cared can enforce.

Clubs that aren't NSFW barely bother with the age gate.

I really hope people will use this wisely, but I know someone somewhere will abuse it and then that'll be a whole other discussion.

But also people have been shirking the VP rules in clubs for a long time now (me too) because "curate your experience" won out over making things optimized for all.

I see needing to wear an optimized avatar the same as dressing up for an event in real life. You go see kabuki? You go in kimono, or a fancy dress at the bare minimum. Otherwise, you don't go. Don't know how to put on a kimono? Ask a friend/family member/go to a studio. We want to help!

We already talked about performances where seeing your friends isn't the point. Luxe Nova, Raindance, a jazz or comedy bar. Those are all places where we shouldn't have to use safety settings or manually show every single performer that goes on stage.

Full Moon, although not NSFW, has a certain vibe and definitely don't want children accidentally getting in. Steph did say this:

And I'll give them a "pass" on clothes like that. But an avatar? Hot take but no one should've bought her in that state.

Hotter take, no one should be trying to go to the club in Extension or CYCR.
