I see your point. Makes sense about the meme. I got on it in I think 2016 or 17- about 18 or 19?
>2016/2017- knuckles meme, and generally cool and normal people
>go away for a while
>come back in 2018
>find out that VR “gangs” exist along with crash avatars
>join VR gang (I know it sounds lame, and it was but trust my reasoning)
>VR gangs add a new dynamic to the game, plus admittedly makes you feel a sense of power being able to close someone’s game, and that you have a whole group of people behind you
>stuff got so real, I kid you not- people were legitimately making clients, doxing people, stealing avatars, trading shaders- like it was absolutely bonkers
>2019/20 safety measures get added, and this for the most part cripples any use or point for gangs
>meanwhile while this is all happening, degeneracy increases in the game along with bad updates that break old avatars
>community literally goes from memes and generally cool and AWESOME unique avatars to depressed, and/or perverted people sitting in front of mirrors with their VR girlfriends in gaudy unoriginal edgelord avatars- some of which will immediately block you for literally no reason
When I say gaudy by the way- like they would literally take like say a 100k poly avatar and slap on chains, “J’s” as the kids call them, and glasses, hats and all kinds of gay accessories that are more polys than their avatar.
All this happened within a few years. I think I’ve gotten on a few times since to see if it’s gotten any less lame, but unfortunately it has not.
Anyways, sorry if I got a little carried away with remembering all that.
