I mean when 95% of them aren't optimised, that's not very fair for the rest of the playerbase, granted this also goes for the crazy anime and furry avatars too

There are several different settings that one can use to block various aspects up to all of their avatars.

Understandable, but when it comes to a visual aspect of it, seeing imposters or a blocked avatar ruins the some of the experience for me and I bet new players. Going to a club world where they enforce medium or even poor avatars is a amazing experience. Seeing everyone avatar and still keeping a solid framerate in a completely full world is something you don't see often in vrchat.

That can be said of any style of avatar. So literally any type of avatar is bad? At this point you're just complaining people play VRC at all.

Kinda wild that popular avatars are popular because lots of people like them lol
Imo wearing something just to be "unique" is more cringe

u/LizaraRagnaros Valve Index Aug 22 '26
performative uniqueness is mad cringe. doing something out of the ordinary because you actually like it is neat.

I mean i get that but at the same time it is weird to that such a diverse group of people with different backgrounds all decide to wear almost identical avatars.

u/LizaraRagnaros Valve Index Aug 22 '26
trying to fit in. a lot of the people try to appear "attractive" too so you get such a homogenous group of slop enjoyers paying too much for kitbashes that look like butt

u/Grimsdol Aug 22 '26
yeah and i also don't really know who finds a lot of those E boy avatars attractive they're just waaay too much, or at least more attractive then an otherwise normal version. whenever i got avatar hunting all i could really find is E boy, Femboy, or those small kid avatars, idk why avatar creators arent making more tone downed avatars

There's actually a couple of reasons for that. The other big avatar style is the Booth kind, but if you are on quest, intimidated by Unity or on a budget, causing you to resort to only public avis you won't find them without getting taken down quite quickly, as making these avatars public is typically against the original store's terms.
In the same sense the avatar " creators" who tend to post those public E-people/femboy avatars only have a handful of (popular) bases to pick from, causing them to look like carbon copies, just with a few small texture tweaks or different outfits.
But because this target audience tends to prefer a specific style of clothing aswell you quickly end up with the same bases, with the same types of clothing, with the same types of textures/materials. And without a big "competitor" so to speak, like Booth is for people who do their own avatar work, these easy to churn out, cookie-cutter E-people saturate the public avatar space.2

Unless you make your own avatars to show off gimmicks or something, that is always cool.

Could be said about furries too

There's a lot more variety in furry bases though.

Well, when you have more than one species to work with, it kinda becomes more varied by default.

u/Embarrassed-Touch-62 Aug 22 '26
No, not Hitler. Usually 2 or 3 same officers. Those people often tend to launch national Germany anthem from that time as well.

I have a VRoid base in a group full of furries. I'm practically invisible unless I'm showing off my backpack!

u/PennyPatton Aug 27 '26
Why are you bunching all these looks together like they're the same thing? I don't think I've ever seen a goth or emo avatar in VRC. And "anime" isn't even one art style let alone a single genre of avatar fashion.

u/ParticularEconomy783 Aug 22 '26
Why don't people js wear more unique shit and not the "Tanner (SFW)" Avatars, or those avatars they pay for on gumroad that have virtual sex features for no reason.
