First case of drama with VR. It was bound to happen eventually. And it’s also expected to have some form of drama happening in this month (usually IRL).<\/p>\n

So, what’s going on? This has to do with the Trust and Safety system in VRChat. People everywhere are using it.. against me. All because I just wanted to have a little fun jumpscaring them– with these new Halloween themed hyena avatars of this world I found. Now that you can favorite up to three public avatars, I’ve been taking advantage of it.
\nOne of my (now past) favorites, is Ethereal Yeen. All you see is its eyes. What’s cool… (but I also get why it gets annoying.. still, lighten up and stop being a pussy. It is<\/strong> Spooktober for a reason) is it’ll scream at you, play an obnoxious sound, and cause the world around it to change. But that’s the whole point in Spooktober.. right!? To stand next to your friend, casually look at them and then pop the scare! This is supposed to be funny!!
\nApparently….. not to them. Because they block it, and it takes the fucking point out of having the avatar. That’s what it was designed to do!
\nLook, when I first used it, I thought “wow.. ok. This is going to be extremely annoying. I better not use this.” Then I see others doing it, and I’m thinking “OK, well.. I guess it’s not that annoying if others don’t mind it.”.. which is literally the same as the whole ‘jump off a bridge’ thing.
\nHell, jumping off a bridge and hoping to break my neck has to be more worth it than what I’m feeling right now (like absolute shit<\/strong>). When your friends are blocking the avatar, and all you wanted to do was have a little fun!!<\/p>\n

Is this not<\/em> October? The month of being spooked? So why can’t people tolerate it?! I get certain friends blocking it (not everyone enjoys having their view suddenly being changed, and getting ear-raped).. but close friends!? That’s what stings the worst.
\nI could call them ‘fun haters’ all I want, but this isn’t solving the problem. And to say
\nto ‘put myself in their shoes’, it shouldn’t be fucking rocket science to know that they don’t want to see that when they’re trying to have a normal conversation.
\n–
\nMy 12 year old brain doesn’t fucking understand what the words ‘stop’ or ‘enough’
\nmean (as they’re rarely said). It doesn’t even know when it’s about to cross a line until it’s too fucking late!! Again, I do NOT intend to annoy people!! But I guess I am<\/em>..
\nThat’s why I’ve gotten rid of those avatars, and gone back to my…bleh! Boring no fun allowed ones.
\nBut at least.. hopefully, I’m no longer an ass (even though it’s fucking Spooktober).<\/p>\n
