The mirror is such a surreal vr function.

It really solidifies the immersion and I think that's why people get so caught up in it.

Not to mention it's just generally easier to talk to a group of people in the mirror because of the generally low FOVs most headsets have.

Also since facial tracking isn't a big thing yet, it's a way for you to "puppet" your avatar and make sure you are expressing what you want to express.

We can't forget the VRSleepers, people napping or full passed out in lobbies and somehow managing to stay asleep

As a new player, i totally understand just spacing out in front of a mirror. sometimes seeing your own model repping yourself makes you so happy you cant help but to just look back at yourself and think "wow this is me"

[Drk-Plgu]

"If you enter a public lobby, and buff whinney the pooh runs up to you yelling ratial slurs, that's one of them" What a scentance 😂

As a 3000+ hour fullbody user I have to say this video was 100% accurate and relatable. Great video!

[thelocaloffender]

You forgot to mention the "cute avatar (most likely smol like a Kon) but has a voice that's so deep and bassy that it shakes the room with it's gravelly sound."
And Kons themselves are like a "sub community" of their own, and they travel in a flock; if you see one, you're bound to see another one soon enough.

Also the desktop players parkour in the map.

once got baked and ended up in a world full of furries

some of the nicest people i have met on vrc

[saffronsteam]

I absolutely LOVE how you noted all of these with ZERO bias or discrimination. You stated the facts for each group and I couldn't be more happy about that! Thank you so much!

What I find pretty awesome is that my friend group on VR Chat is quite literally a mix of memers, mutes, mirror dwellers, furries, LGBTQ+, Questies, Desktop Users, and new players, often hanging out with all of them in a single server as we chat about our favorite things, daily life, and sometimes just yell out the stupidest shit to try and get each other laughing and in an overall good mood to try and forget about a bad day

VR chat is in reality one of those things that have made a major impact on me with just how much more open it has made me with other people and how I express myself, and it in general is just one of those things that really make my day

[TravistarYT]

I'm personally a "Questie" who occasionally falls under "Desktop User" when my headset is drained, since my laptop is VR Incompatible, I also spend ALOT of time hunting down Avatar Worlds, so I guess I could fall under an unmentioned/new category: "Avatar Hunters" after which I share the spoils of my travels with curious users to help them find a new look (I have over 50 avatar worlds favorited so far). I'm also just generally helpful, helping new people figure out how to do things like clone avatars, reveal auto-blocked avatars (Of course warning them of Crashers, what that means and what they do, you get it.), block or mute annoying players, etc.

I just realized I've been in VR more for raves than anything else!

Great video Phia! You always do a great job of giving insight into the cultural tidbits of VR!

[KevinBrooks_c]

As a person that's also often in front of the mirrors, I feel like instead of un-socializing, me and my friends often rely on mirrors to FEEL ppl around you. It's like how phantom sense works, you have to rely on something to connect the virtual and the imagination tingles that appears on you skin, especially when someone is off your sight but beside you, and mirror is one of the way to me. It gives me a sense of someone actually beside me, while checking me and others avatars posture to make it as real and natural as it can gets like irl.

[CptCanondorf]

Absolutely love that you and Thrill are both sponsored by the same company and in each other's showcase for the tech. To me, it really seems like you two lift each other's channels up and support VR as a whole even more by doping so.

[QuackEternal]

Definitely a mirror dweller. I end up posting up at either black cat or midnight rooftop just watching the chaos unfurl around me or just listening in on convos. It's how I met my first friend group, even though I haven't seen any of them in a while but still. Mirror dwellers are usually really chill people and from my experience, a lot of them are waiting for someone to strike up conversation

[underflip]

Im one of the mirror dwellers and trust me it's anything other than antisocial. In fact, we stand in front of the mirror to be able to be more social because we can talk and have fun and we can see everyone in the room at the same time. It also makes it very easy to know which one is talking in a busy room

[jamesvanatta]

The only other group I've run into like more than you would think, I would call DEVs. These are people that work on VR in some way or another. They are sometimes for hire, but they will certainly talk your ear off about loading textures and what they've done or are doing right now in VR development. I like them, personally, even if I rarely understand half of what they are talking about, but I usually do learn something from them. I would include Modders in this group as well.

Us dancers do our own extra setup when prepping to dance so none of our tech falls off or have anything positioned on our bodies that would be a hazard. What I do is I use a shoe lace as a chin strap to keep my headset on, I put my waist tracker through the belt loops on some short shorts, with my hip tracker off to the side rather than the center of my waist, and my feet trackers on the sides of my ankles held on tight by some hair ties that I wrap around my legs. With all that everything is safely on my body in ways that I won't come crashing down on my hardware unless I royally mess up. Like in the video you see me upsidown on a pole, if I didn't do that extra setup my hardware woulda been broke a long time ago(not that I haven't already gone through half a dozen controllers and a number of cables)

I am a memer, dancer, raver, mirror dweller, and trusted user. Though in terms of the video I very much to not fit the stereotype of trusted user. I don't mute anyone unless they are toxic or trolling, I show avatars when I can, and I go as far as using quest avatars in quest worlds so that the questies are not stuck looking at my fallback.

[AcroPlat]

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen a Kermit absolutely busting it down in a public lobby

[Fizz_B]
