Naturally, it attracts a lot of people that, for whatever reason, don't feel comfortable in the real world. VRChat is a space where gender, sexuality, and especially bodies, are truly fluid, and, as a result, it's incredibly queer. It's not Facebook's vision of VR, or asput it in May, the"sexless, Zuckerbergian, brand-friendly presentation" of Meta's billion dollar metaverse.
Hunting follows a woman that teaches ASL to deaf and hard of hearing players every day of the week in a replica of a college classroom, two couples who are thousands of miles apart in the real world, and various others who found some part of themselves in the game.
As People Make Games made clear in its much shorter documentary about VRChat, the game is messy and its players are striated. VRChat, at its worst, is an insulated space where racism goes unpunished and underaged players are a few clicks away from pornography and abuse. In this way VRChat resembles the early internet, before Google and Twitter and Facebook and the methods of control—good and bad—that platform holders have placed on how you interact with others online came to be.
We Met In Virtual Reality, with its persistent affirmations about the freedom of virtual reality, doesn't give itself the tools to tackle the ways a game that is technically playable by all for free, but is most effective under an expensive, defines the type of people who have access to regularly engage with it in the ways the film is most interested in.
As a series of stories about people, We Met in Virtual Reality works. It finds surprisingly beautiful shots of the game world's often flat, jittery look and never slips on portraying the people in it respectfully. But those stories have been happening throughout online gaming's history, in more rudimentary spaces.
Ironic timing considering VRC decided to basically self-destroy their platform
Is there even significant progress in the Vr world
It’s a shit documentary about the partners. It doesn’t cover anything about VRC. Pretentious ERPr’s who farmed trust rank from leaving the game open Lmaoo
Guess it isn't going to show anything about why they added EAC, either.
