I tried VR chat a few weeks ago, after seeing some videos on reddit. Naturally the first thing I did was change to the knuckles character.
First room I go in is this fancy penthouse apartment type place. Walked to where everyone was hanging out, and people immediately stopped talking and stared at me. I realized I was the only knuckles and they didn’t want me there. It was extremely awkward.
Then this dude dressed as a beanbag came up to me and chased me into the bathroom. He then spent like 5 minutes telling me off, saying I was a worthless piece of shit, not funny, an idiot, and that I should just leave because no one likes me. Like really hateful stuff, and you could tell by his voice that his adrenaline was pumping. And I hadn’t even figured out how to unmute my mic, so I just stood there and took it. It was the most awkward experience Ive had in a long time, and really killed any ounce fun I was having.
Havent touched it since then, and probably never will.
