SHUT UP DYNO I DIDNT ASK

[tawdry patio]

banana

[shell dome]

so much for having a civilized discussion...

[soft mortar]

In fairness, the other guy wasn't open to a civilised discussion

[candid cape]

since when was this thread civilized

[shell dome]

that's who I meant

[inland portal]

🧀

[karmic owl]

i just deleted a ton of harassing language. people can talk in here without being argumentative or rude. i will delete people's blatantly rude messages and hush rude people from now on. don't use this place to be horrible please. i read every new message.

[warped bluff]

At least the cheese stays 🧀

[inland portal]

Amen 🙏🏽 🧀

[inland portal]

Did you delete my hi to Perez 😭

[karmic owl]

i think that reply was to a message i deleted, and seeing you say hi to "message deleted" didn't make much sense so i deleted that too hah

[inland portal]

Oh lol okay

The message deleted was just a hi

With caps

[tender glade]

It’s cringey and weird.

But if you do it go you

I guess

[warped bluff]

Indeed 🧀🙏

[rapid imp]

How? 💀

[jolly willow]

this thing is cringe even tho idk anything about it!!!

[scenic sonnet]

people probably hate e-daters just to be assholes because they're "different" for finding a different way to find love.

sure, you can never know the truth about someone when you're dating someone online. they could be lying about their age, race, gender, sexuality, etc. they'll lie about absolutely everything and maybe it gave said person a bad experience, or that they were given a stereotype from someone else.

i believe that people can find true love via online purposes. i've done it before and it lasted several years. it wasn't the greatest experience, but it's a nice thing to have at least tried.

you never know if you like something until you've actually tried it. people can find love however they please, whenever they please. if it's a bad experience or if it ends up in an illegal, gross, or weird manner, then that's a result for them to deal with.

there's no point to hating it.
just grow up.

[warm niche]

edaters are cringe

that is why

i do not have a reason

it is a

primordial and ancient fear the natural man has of e-daters

shakes me to the spine

😭

[rapid imp]

I’m pretty sure people who hate e-daters are just mad that they don’t/can’t have anyone to date

[tranquil stag]

Disagree

I think people that hate edaters hate them because often they are WAY to public about it

Idc if you guys are a thing, dont spam chats with it and keep it low key

[rapid imp]

But that’s basically almost all irl/online relationships

[tranquil stag]

Yeah I think that's true for irl too

There's this couple that met thru a Minecraft server and started edating and last year they moved in together and are still doing great

Edating isn't bad it's just annoying sometimes

[wraith plume]

this is pretty true, I've actually hated e-dating before I fell in love with someone, it's not that bad, people have said that it's just little kids or grown adults but it's not, the only time I've seen a grown adult date a minor in this game was when my 16 yrs best friend dated a 21 yrs woman (no offense @ashen halo). you really can't know if it's bad or not before you've tried it, it really just depends on the people, there are probably loads of people that are dating right now and are genuinely happy with each other but they keep it private because people like to hate them no matter what. and yeah I admit it, I'm dating someone and we are super happy with each other

[rapid imp]

Dam, bro just called out his friend

[wraith plume]

😭😭

[rapid imp]

Dawwgggg you really just snitched on your homie

[wraith plume]

he already broke up with her btw

[rapid imp]

Good message and all but like

i couldnt laugh when you put your homie out there bro

😂😂

[wraith plume]

I don't mind you laughing and thanks

[rapid imp]

I couldn’t stop laughing*

[rapid imp]

💀

[warm niche]

online dating is cringe unless you know the partner in real life

[timid jetty]

personally i think that its bad because the e-daters we regularly see in rec room, make e-dating their personality

ive seen e couples that dont make it their personality and i dont really feel the cringe part of it

[bronze mason]

I mean if someone comes up and annoys someone bc of it they can get blocked simple bc a lot of people say nasty shit to people for no reason

[candid cape]

tbf you yourself was kind of unnecessarily aggressive as well

[bronze mason]

I could care less when people come at me they get that response back that's just how I am there is no if ands or buts about it

If I hurt someone feelings oh well

If the mods actually were worth a shit we wouldn't have a awful community like it is now no offense but most of them are lazy as hell and don't do anything when actually people that need a kick or ban need it and the amount of little kids on accounts is astounding to me bc it seems to me the code of conduct doesn't mean a Fucking thing if they don't follow it half the time I haven't seen one rec mod give a shit about their job at all ik this isn't the channel to talk about it but seriously

Shits annoying when you get a random person in a rec center spamming loud ass music and the hard r and then going around starting arguments for no reason at all just bc they wanna ruin someone's day

Imma leave now bc me saying all this isn't gonna change anything about how they do their jobs this community is gonna keep falling and falling into a toxic pit of hell and I'm sad to see it like this

[rapid imp]

It’s like the people who follow the Code Of Conduct are the people getting banned yet the people who don’t follow the Code Of Conduct are the ones who never get timed out or banned

Wait I actually got some dick banned

[warped bluff]

How did this go into about mods now?🧀

[viral hedge]

Idk

[shell dome]

the cycle continues

[karmic owl]

love when people assume what they can't see about my job XD
i spend 30 hours a week on moderation stuff. you all have no idea how much work we do behind the scenes! we can't watch every instance all the time, no game can, that's impossible. we do the best we can, we're always changing and doing things to give the best experience we can. if you have a bad experience, i'm sorry about that! but we are not doing nothing about it, and we aren't lazy by any means! remember, you all have the ability to block and report people! just because you can't see anything happen when you do, doesn't mean nothing is!

[viral hedge]

It's honestly insane how people think toxicity is just gonna disappear like that its always gonna be there moderation isn't the prob cause not every thing will be moderated when there is like how many people playing the game and new people not everyone is gonna care about rules and that's why theres blocking, muting, reporting so you can help get them.

[candid cape]

the population of rec room blames everything on "laziness"

bad moderation, laziness
bad optimization, laziness

even crescendo not on quest, laziness

they dont seem to understand laziness is almost never the ultimate cause

hell, the world would be a much better place if being hard working fixes every issue

[wraith plume]

how tf did this turn into a discussion about mods?

[bronze mason]

It's not that we blame its that people that actually need to be banned don't get banned when we report them and when we try to get someone that can do something about it they just say I didn't see it I can't do anything is what I was told last time so I'm kinda done with rec mods I'm not asking for their help no more I can just report and get people banned like yesterday dude in rec center was saying the hard r so I had everyone in the rec center report him for racist language and he got banned instantly and ive also reported two little kids and got them on a junior account like they should be rec room needs to tighten their rules up with the age thing idk how you would do it but yeah

Lol

I don't pay attention to dyno

Dyno is just there

[viral hedge]

with age no one can just get them gone people can just lie about their age

[bronze mason]

Yeah and they can get perma banned on Oculus if a kid under 13 has one they made that a ban offense for vr

And it's also not allowed on rec room you usually tell when someone is underage cause they always have their mic on

And i mean always

Like in the rec center I had a little child she was the biggest brat on the planet being disrespectful and all that to people and she was like 9 so

Most accounts that I've reported like today a kid just got banned bc they thought it would be a good idea to say their age to everyone in a rec center got banned

Dyno never sleeps

[karmic owl]

alright, that was a tangent! i don't really know how off topic rules go into threads, but i'm just gonna say let's get back on topic after this! if you want to talk about this more, make a new thread or talk in an existing one. i want to remind everyone to continue being respectful (thank you to those of you who have been!), i'm still muting people who are disrespectful! remember, i read every new message!

[jolly willow]

anyways

yeah i feel edating doesn’t deserve a lot of the hate it gets, as long as it’s done safely and responsibly like any relationship

[soft mortar]

Fr, like would you rather people irl who are in an abusive relationship or people online who are in a healthy and responsible relationship

[strong ocean]

Th only time I find it bad is same thing that can happen in irl ones when the need to make it known to the whole world like please don’t be cuddling in my paintball lobby I get it but save it for the dorm please play the game

[wraith plume]

wait theres people that cuddle in pvp's? thank god im not like that

[tawdry patio]

I love it when people make out in front of my locker (this is ironic)

preventing me from opening it

[rigid yoke]

Not really healthy if you ask me, because dating someone and not going outside is not the way to put it and if this games about dating just put dating app on the traits of the game no offense, I don’t really have anything against online dating but I just wanna spit somethin out my mouth.

[sleek light]

never go outside and only e date

[rigid yoke]

It’s very unhealthy to date on a vr headset and just go on it everyday and not go outside

[sleek light]

that does sound depressing

id rather some sunlight but to each their own

[jolly willow]

edating doesn’t mean you never go outside lol

where’d you hear that from

imo id never edate due to the distance but if some people are happy doing it then go ahead

[jolly willow]

idk what your point is

using this logic should you never have friends on vr because it’s unhealthy

[inland portal]

I think he’s mean, “Trying to e date and not actually find somebody irl”

[jolly willow]

some people can’t just find people irl

ain’t that simple

[inland portal]

I agree

Resorting to e dating isn’t healthy

It’s weird

I’d rather find somebody irl

And if you can’t

Keep trying

There’s no need to resort to living in game pixels

I do agree tho that the best people you’ll ever meet will be through in game

Than irl people

People who E-Date are teenagers or kids.
They’re not all adults like you!
These teenagers/kids dream to see their partner through this virtual world, but aren’t even old enough or allowed to go on a plane by themselves and see each other.
Some of these e couples in games use each other for your STUPID Over Priced items.

[karmic owl]

i have no reason to argue, i've said all i've wanted to say. i'd just be repeating myself if i continued. i accept others have different opinions than me! this doesn't just apply to you, if anyone replies to something i said, i'm not going to respond. and remember, be respectful!

[bronze mason]

Yeah I myself personally like dating online more then real life ive had some shitty relationships

In real life

[vagrant stratus]

people hate e-dating because of the negative stigma and behavior of people who do engage in dating online. It's not hard to see it around

However, just because some people do not have the mental capacity to be able to carry relationships like this through the internet does not mean that capable, of age adults are not able to.

It's one of those things where there's a loud minority overwhelming the success stories of the quiet majority.

[bronze mason]

I've been abused and cheated on in real life I walked in on my ex now but she was with another guy

[inland portal]

I wasn’t trying to be rude sorry

[bronze mason]

Like I'm going to see mine here soon I'm taking a plane to her

[vagrant stratus]

You're just trying to share your opinion, it's ok

although I'm not sure what the item shop has to do with it lmao

[bronze mason]

It's gonna be my first plane I'm nervous actually

[vagrant stratus]

in summary, it's an individual people problem. The negative stigma around dating online is carried by the people who absolutely should not be dating online. There's a lot of good stories of couples who are of appropriate age and found someone they're compatible with.

[karmic owl]

good luck!! it's an amazing feeling seeing them irl for the first time, enjoy it!

[bronze mason]

I will

That plane I'm fucking nervous

[karmic owl]

i've flown hundreds of times. planes are more safe than cars!

[bronze mason]

I hope so 😅

[candid cape]

they technically are

planes only seem to be dangerous because every plane accident is exaggerated and spread everywhere

but barely any car accidents are really discussed about after like 2 days

[jolly willow]

who cares if they don’t get married? they just like each other and it’s as simple as that

they’re happy

[jolly willow]

as a pilot in training i can confirm

[inland portal]

When did I say anything about getting married?

[river rivet]

there are alot of situations where i really don't understand why people are so hardly against online dating, but sometimes i just see the reason, i think most of the people that are against it just met the online daters that arent mature enough to date if it is online or real life, they probably just put every person that dates online in the same box

[jolly willow]

i much prefer flying a plane over driving a car

[sleek light]

same

[jolly willow]

oh wait i misread but my point is who cares if they meet each other in person

they’re happy and that’s that

[inland portal]

You’re confused

So I’m not gonna reply

[sleek light]

bingo

[frozen fractal]

what is going on 💀

me personally

it gives people a chance at finding love in place they would have never thought they would 🤷🏽‍♀️

[vagrant stratus]

time to rename this thread to plane vs car discussion

[rapid imp]

i dont see a huge deal with it, neither do my friends. i think its just the stereotypes cringey roblox kids gave it 💀

[floral lotus]

E Daters are stinky

[sleek light]

planes better

[versed mica]

Funny story, I'm pretty close to someone that has survived a plane crash. Figured I'd mention that here since this conversation reminded me of that

I wish I could go into more detail but I can't do that in a public discord

[floral lotus]

Cars better

[rapid imp]

this convo isnt even abt e dating anymore XD

[versed mica]

Some photos of the plane, for anyone interested

[floral lotus]

How do planes crash tho

[rapid imp]

idk.

im gonna like leave the planecrash convo cuz i have to get on a plane in 9 days now xd

[viral hedge]

There are adults who e-date trust and just because people e-date doesn't mean they are always on the vr headset

[rapid imp]

I don’t get why people care so much about shit like this

In my eyes, if your mad at e-daters for being happy then your just a little pathetic piece of shit

[wraith plume]

true true

[inland portal]

I was talking about kids not adults

[rapid imp]

You still brought up adults

[viral hedge]

You said people who e-date are teenagers or kids and that they're not all adults like you there are plenty of adult users who e-date so yes you did talk about adults

[rapid imp]

@inland portal

[inland portal]

That was not even a sentence

Where else did I mention adults?

I was talking about kids not adults

Y’all can’t read?

[viral hedge]

🤦🏿‍♂️

[rapid imp]

I’m pretty sure that was a sentence

[karmic owl]

ay, let's be respectful please!

[inland portal]

No it’s not

Just because I ended it with a period doesn’t make it a sentence

[sleek light]

makes sense

[bronze mason]

Hey you are to take a shower nah I'm just kidding 😂

[sleek light]

makes sense

[fringe knot]

Bruh

E daters are just people who can’t get b1tche$ irl

[sleek light]

i salute the effort

[fringe knot]

Eh

[fringe knot]

I ain’t reading allat

[bronze mason]

Actually I could but I haven't had the best experiences with in real life relationship so

[fringe knot]

So you can’t

[bronze mason]

I can

But I won't

There is a reason why I won't

[fringe knot]

So you can’t.

[bronze mason]

I just said I can

I've dated about 7 girls irl and 4 online

[fringe knot]

Only 7 🥱

[bronze mason]

Yeah cause I'm not a fuck boy

I look for actually value

[fringe knot]

About 471,372,736,384,374,372,284,385,716,746,373,374,375,329,447 for me tbh

Yeah orange

Watch your language

[bronze mason]

I don't date street girls

I look for actually women not petty little street girls that's why it's only 7

[fringe knot]

You really took the joke to heart 💀

It’s a fucking joke

[bronze mason]

Not really if it was jokr it was very fuckin bad joke cause it wasn't funny

[fringe knot]

“Cause it wasn’t funny” 🤓

[bronze mason]

Yeah whatever

[fringe knot]

Not every joke is funny

[bronze mason]

U joined the chat to start an argument

Leave if all you are gonna do is be an ass

[sleek light]

if its not funny then its not a joke

[fringe knot]

AMUSEMENT

[sleek light]

where laughter

where punchline

[fringe knot]

I drew amusement because y’all came rushing to the chat

[bronze mason]

It wasn't amusing tbh it was just smartass remark actually

[fringe knot]

Says OR

[sleek light]

where amusement

[fringe knot]

You were the one coming to the chat to see what I said, correct?

[bronze mason]

Not really

[fringe knot]

If it wasn’t amusing you wouldn’t have replied

[bronze mason]

The chat don't revolve around u you know

[sleek light]

it revolves around me

[bronze mason]

I was reading other peoples chats

[fringe knot]

Where tf did you get that 💀

[fringe knot]

You literally replied to my comment 😐

[bronze mason]

I was also reading everyone else's comments

While responding

[fringe knot]

If you didn’t read my comment this wouldn’t have happened and you wouldn’t be pressed

[bronze mason]

If you have been a little bit nicer that would have help the situation

Not an a hole

[fringe knot]

Maybe if you read my bio you could have known 🤷🏼

Not my fault I’m on the spectrum

That’s just how I act, can’t change it, now my problem, just deal with it

[bronze mason]

Well maybe u should leave if all your gonna be is an a hole be a grown up and leave it

Simple

I'm leaving right now

[karmic owl]

remember people, i'm muting people who are disrespectful. if you can't be respectful, you shouldn't be talking in here

[bronze mason]

I don't get why people hate people who date online like I was with my girlfriend today in the rec center and was targeted Instantly just minding my business and people can't just grow up and ignore people

And leave people alone

[candid cape]

why the fuck is this still going on

[karmic owl]

you see where my frustration has come from all these years lmao

[bronze mason]

Yeah I do

[merry spoke]

stop

[candid cape]

youre getting 1984'd

[bronze mason]

L

😂

[candid cape]

why are you constantly complaining about people being assholes while you pull up with those

[bronze mason]

His comment took an L

Cause he was a hole with his comment that's why it got deleted

[candid cape]

what makes you not one

[bronze mason]

I was just laughing at it

[karmic owl]

i also just said i'm muting disrespectful people, there was no way they didn't see that before they sent their message

[bronze mason]

Ye idk if they saw It they probably did but just didn't care

[candid cape]

lets be honest

youre not really a nice person yourself

insulting someone then say "nah im just kidding" wont magically get you away

[bronze mason]

As I said I was kidding

[karmic owl]

i don't see a problem with that message

[rapid imp]

im going to sit here and watch

[candid cape]

telling people to take a shower as an argument?

[bronze mason]

You literally making a problem out of nothing

Calm down

[karmic owl]

let's not argue about this please

[rapid imp]

it went from e dating, to planes vs cars, now an argument. entertainment.

[magic jungle]

thread goes nuts

[karmic owl]

take it to dms if you want to, just not here

[bronze mason]

I don't see the point of it continuing so

[rapid imp]

ok bye

[candid cape]

yet you still come back occasionally

[bronze mason]

I'm just gonna keep talking about other shit

[magic jungle]

urine

[bronze mason]

Yep 😂

But seriously I'm trying to decide what to get my girlfriend for when I travel to her to see her for the first time I thought maybe roses 🌹

I'm a old fashioned type person so

[magic jungle]

100x100 rubix cube

[karmic owl]

i can't even remember if my husband got me something when we first met irl, boyfriend at the time. i'm sure he did, i just cannot remember what my god

[candid cape]

you do realise one of the reasons why people hate edaters is their nature to suddenly pull up with a topic about their partners right

lets not talk about that here

[magic jungle]

what

[candid cape]

i dont know

you can go to like

#general-off-topic

or literally start a thread about it

[magic jungle]

what

[candid cape]

not in a sensitive place like this lmao

[magic jungle]

buy a strat blud!

[rapid imp]

ehm

[karmic owl]

I REMEMBER it was a PSP

[bronze mason]

Yeah I was thinking about getting roses and cheese and a date to a restaurant or something let me explain the cheese

She fuckin loves cheese for some reason

[rapid imp]

c h e e z

[magic jungle]

thanks dyno

[rapid imp]

W dyno

[candid cape]

never in my life have i ever seen someone say w dyno

new species

[karmic owl]

who doesn't XD oh wait... lactose people...

[bronze mason]

Yeah lol

[rapid imp]

XD

i dont mind cheese

[bronze mason]

Yea I might get her a cowgirl hat to cause she works with horses

[karmic owl]

that's a very cute idea!

[rapid imp]

:}

[bronze mason]

I just hope it works out bc she would be my second chance at an irl relationship bc mine haven't been so nice so

[rapid imp]

i told myself im done with dating ppl suck and then i got into a relationship like a week later, soooo

[karmic owl]

that's why i'm so for online relationships, being online widely increases your chances of finding someone compatible to you! i would have never found my husband without this game

[rapid imp]

FR

[bronze mason]

Yeah bc sometimes people that live in the same town may not always be the right person

[rapid imp]

yeah

[karmic owl]

i said i wasn't going to date online (my sister was in a long distance relationship at the time for years and i didn't wanna go through it), but the crush on the man that would become my husband was too much to ignore

and we got through it, now we live together!

[rapid imp]

xd

its gonna take a while for me and my bf to meet up since we are young and rn he dosent have his phone since it got taken away

[still spoke]

very amazing :3

[rapid imp]

plus he lives in the uk im in aus

[karmic owl]

i know it's tough, just be patient! there will be a day you can look back on all this, look forward to that

[still spoke]

ooooooo

[bronze mason]

Y'all will get there patience is key in a relationship

[rapid imp]

but honestly, online dating is way better cuz it gives you way more ppl to choose from, its easier finding ppl like you aswell. you just need to be careful as you could be with an older person, a pred or some young kid with no idea of what they are doing isnt suitable for their age. but yknow voice chat proves everything . and its quite easy to tell if sombody has a voice changer

[bronze mason]

Yeah

That's the danger of it

[still spoke]

Very true

[candid cape]

online dating is

arguably

worse

[rapid imp]

ok.

[candid cape]

its hard to really have results with online relationships

[rapid imp]

true.

[candid cape]

cases like emily are pretty rare occasions

im not saying you guys wont make it

but realistically the chances are way lower than a real life relationship

[karmic owl]

not really. i have two friends that also met in rec room and married! and lots of other friends who are thriving in their relationships from here

[candid cape]

good luck tho

[bronze mason]

I've already met her parents as well they are amazing people

[rapid imp]

through my experience i dislike irl relationships

longest ive had irl was a year. but they had narcissistic traits so i would like to say the time enjoyed was 5 months

[candid cape]

also given that you seem to be a pretty young person
younger relationships tend to last shorter because of immaturity of both sides

all i can say is treat each other with respect

then youll have pretty good chances

[rapid imp]

yeah

ive learnt alot from everyone ive dated

[karmic owl]

always a +1 to respect! for any reason ;D

[bronze mason]

That's horrible that you had to go through that at a young age sparkii

[rapid imp]

its okay,

[magic jungle]

urine

[bronze mason]

No kid should have to deal with that

[karmic owl]

i have also learned too! i've been through some stuff and hated it, but it definitely taught me for my relationship currently. though i just would have preferred not to have it happen anyway but hey, what can ya do

[bronze mason]

I myself walked in on one of my irl relationship so it's like it hurt

[karmic owl]

but one thing i love about my relationship is that all the things i did that made a past one go wrong, my husband says could never bother him, and i needed that

[rapid imp]

im sorry dude

[bronze mason]

Yeah the flaws of my gf are the ones I fell in love with

[karmic owl]

i'm glad things are going so well for you all now then! all i want is happy people

[rapid imp]

honestly if i didnt join into 3d charades i wouldnt be talkin abt this rn

xd

[bronze mason]

Bc she was treated so bad in past relationships I know about most of her past relationships so it's sad that it happened to her beautiful soul

[rapid imp]

oh :[

dude should we make like a seperate server to rant abt this xd cuz im up for it

[bronze mason]

We can

[rapid imp]

alr ill dm an invite

[bronze mason]

Oki

[soft mortar]

"only 7", aren't you meant to actually look for someone you think you'll work out with instead of just getting with anyone you?

I actively avoid getting into relationships with people if I don't think we'll work out or 1 of us is going through a lot at the time so I can make sure I'm getting into a good healthy relationship, when it's your life you're allowed to be picky

[soft mortar]

Bro doesn't understand what amusement means

[soft mortar]

Being autistic is not an excuse to avoid growing as a person

Source: am autistic and have grown up surrounded by autistic people

[rapid imp]

I hate people who use mental disorders as a reason for why they’re such an ass to others

[soft mortar]

Bro the person they were replying to literally said it first what they can't say it back as a joke?

[bronze mason]

Yea I was just joking around when i said go take a shower so 😂

[warped bluff]

🧀

I saw cheese so I had to reply 🧀

[fringe knot]

Maybe if you heard the context of it being A JOKE. You would shut up, and how was I using it as an excuse it’s a genuine thing that happens. Y’all are fucking messed up.

[magic jungle]

what

so you see what i said wasnt recieved well so im gonna say its a joke

[fringe knot]

Yep. They got mad for saying “Only 7”

[rapid imp]

Saying on*y 7 is fucked up

[dusky dagger]

Bro

[soft mortar]

No I saw the context, but thank you for admitting you were using it as an excuse

You said "I'm autistic
I can't change it
not my problem, just deal with it"

Like I said, being autistic is not an excuse to not grow as a person

There are mean-spirited jokes, and there are lighthearted jokes, you made a mean-spirited joke, you got backlash for it, being autistic is not an excuse to continue to make mean-spirited jokes or refuse to learn from people disliking them, especially when so many people hold the sentiment of the joke to be true

[fringe knot]

That’s the entire POINT

[bronze mason]

Yea you don't use being autistic as a excuse to say fuck shit 7 is actually a good number at least it ain't over 20 bc I don't just get with anyone you know who does fuck boys do that shit

They get with nasty street girls and that's not how I am I get with someone that has values and is decent not trashy

[fringe knot]

I said it was A JOKE STOP CRYING ABOUT IT

[bronze mason]

It wasn't actually

It was a shitty joke actually and then you try to use you being autistic as an excuse to be an a hole to me so you can't really be making jokes when u say fuck shit

[karmic owl]

we're gonna stop this argument too. this is getting to disrespectful territory. no more

[bronze mason]

Oki

Emily I don't like when people use their problems as excuse to be an a hole to people that's not right

[vagrant stratus]

they fall down

or they fail to go up

90% of plane incidents happen during takeoff or landing

[bronze mason]

That's why I'm scared to go on a plane

[karmic owl]

i stopped that conversation for a reason! let's not continue it!

[vagrant stratus]

still safer than a car

on average

[rapid imp]

I still can’t understand why the mods haven’t taken down this thread yet, all it makes is arguments

[bronze mason]

Oki

Not really people just join it to say stupid shit to people so some people need to grow up majorly but imma leave it here

[bronze mason]

That's why I have a little fear of planes

[drifting willow]

Lol I'm not reading all this 💀

[inland portal]

On god

[inland portal]

Hiiii

[prisma aspen]

In my opinion I can understand a relationship outside the game translating to the game because thats make but if you’re definitely gonna meet someone literally twice your age but you couldn’t tell because they had a good voice changer(also kids play the game)

[drifting willow]

That's why having age in your profile would be great feature to add

[rapid imp]

People would fake ages

[drifting willow]

And people will not

[prisma aspen]

Yeah no real way to check that unless you get reported for being underage

[viral hedge]

theres bio's for a reason

and also if you are just on the game just to find people to date that's weird in my opinion just let it happen naturally

[rapid imp]

I don’t really understand someone getting into a relationship with someone they’ve only known for like a day

[prisma aspen]

Happens a lot more often than you think

[viral hedge]

yeah and those are usually the people who gives online dating a bad rep

[warm niche]

(because it is 60% of online dating)

[wraith plume]

ive known my gf for like a year and we only started dating 3 weeks ago, people like that suck and it also sucks that its really common too

[candid cape]

i mean

theyre mad desperate

but you probably wont be dating online if youre not desperate anyways

[wraith plume]

I'm not desperate

[drifting willow]

Couldn't hurt to test out the age feature

[rapid imp]

fact is i wasnt desperate, im currently in an online realtionship yes. i wasnt desperate i was currently tryna get with one of the boys in my drama class xd but yeah i got with my online friend bc i thought he was rlly kind and i felt like he rlly cared abt me so yh :]

[bold spire]

I think you just dont get it

hi

[shell dome]

amazingly factual information

Will the E dater thread end? Will people read the earlier thread messages instead of repeating opinions that have already been stated and discussed? Are cars truly more dangerous than planes? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z...

[drifting willow]

In conclusion this thread should be closed?

[wraith plume]

idk

[viral hedge]

more important stuff to do then add an age feature

[drifting willow]

Like i mentioned before it couldn't hurt to test it out or add a survey. There's always room to try new things

[viral hedge]

🤦🏿‍♂️ theres bio's for everyone for a reason

no need to add a age feature

[drifting willow]

Just like pronouns and sexuality badges were added I'm sure RecRoom can add in ages

Or at least test it out

[viral hedge]

thats completely different age is just numbers the pronouns are there to help more

[drifting willow]

Just like they tested out things we feels useless but we still appreciate nevertheless

[viral hedge]

There is no reason for an age feature its useless xdd

[drifting willow]

Put your pronouns in your bio. If we are using your logic

[drifting willow]

There's no need to add pronouns or sexuality badges either then with your logic it's useless

[viral hedge]

Don't tell me that tell them I dont put prounouns I could care less about them

[viral hedge]

agreed but its already inputed

[drifting willow]

So since pronouns and the badges are added what harm would adding ages do. Nothing

[viral hedge]

whats the point in adding them?

[drifting willow]

So you can easily connect with people in your age group

[viral hedge]

and where would you put this age thing

[viral hedge]

? there are probably clubs you could join for that

putting a feature to add your age on your profile will do nothing

[drifting willow]

People are not aware of that

[viral hedge]

lmaoo

[sleek light]

wouldnt adding public ages make it easier for weird people to be weird

[viral hedge]

FACTS

makes no sense for that to be a feature

guy is just tryna be stubborn

[drifting willow]

I think the opposite. If someone sees your a certain age they might most likely avoid any misunderstanding

[viral hedge]

?

[sleek light]

maybe in real life theyd avoid them

[karmic owl]

yeah, there's a reason we don't have an age thing on bios. you can add it in your bio if you want, but making it a thing would increase the amount of people who will target others

not an option

[viral hedge]

predators are aware of the age they dont care that will increase the problem with them

[drifting willow]

But ages are not so different from pronouns or sexuality badges. Why were they added

[viral hedge]

????

what does pronouns and sexualty do with age 💀

correlation?

[drifting willow]

Those things could be added in your bio

[karmic owl]

i disagree with that. can't tell you the exact reason why cuz i'm not the one who did it or had anything to do with it. but i believe it was to show we support that group of people and make them feel more heard and understood

[drifting willow]

But based on experiences I've seen, it only makes it easier to discriminate against your sexuality

Since it's out there for people to see

Same with pronouns

[viral hedge]

thats not the point

[karmic owl]

in every situation to ever be had in the game? to me, if someone has a problem with that, it shows who you shouldn't be interacting with. block, report, move on

[viral hedge]

^

[drifting willow]

My point with ages. If someone is targeting for your age you can simply block and report. That's just how i see it

I just thought it would be cool to add

[karmic owl]

yes, but that's not comparable to the sexualities/pronouns thing and therefore shouldn't have its own space on your profile

[drifting willow]

How is it not comparable. These are all things describing a person

[viral hedge]

its an age? why are you fixated to have an feature for it?

[drifting willow]

I mean i have an opinion, i can defend it

[karmic owl]

at this point i'm just going to be repeating myself so i'm stopping this here. due to the ability for the age feature to be abused by people who target them, it's never going to happen. i know the devs would say the same. we take safety in that regard very seriously

[drifting willow]

Fair enough. What about adding a flag option or a nationality option in the profile

[karmic owl]

i like that idea!

[drifting willow]

Awesome glad we can agree on something 😊

[karmic owl]

now we should probably get back on topic here hah

[drifting willow]

Lol maybe close the thread perhaps

[karmic owl]

i mean i'm here moderating it and people are using it XD

[soft mortar]

Why are nationalities okay but ages not? Genuine question, nationalities would also be abused, probably by people who dress as a certain German man

[karmic owl]

because people who would do the thing you described would get a shorter ban, and is not nearly as much a big of a deal as child safety

[strange jewel]

To me i just think ppl need to go out and get a Date instead of eating potato chips on the couch in vr to find an e-date, honestly not here to argue idc what u may say but just wanted to say it

[hushed lava]

Eating potato chips on the couch in vr sounds nice

[ruby stump]

Because it sucks

[bronze mason]

Not everyone eats and is fat on the game I work out twice a day so I don't get the point of saying all that I date online as well so I don't see a problem if your an adult if your a little kid then yea u shouldn't be doing it

[soft mortar]

But if people can already put a fake age in their bio@strange jewel what difference does it make?

[viral hedge]

do you think people who are on vr just eat chips 💀

[viral hedge]

It's more to help represent a group and show pride about it what is an age number gonna do for someone?

thats the difference

[soft mortar]

It's still relevant information I don't see much reason to not include it, it's better than dedicating 3 characters of your bio to it, you can do a lot with 3 characters

[karmic owl]

it's different if it's a feature put in by us, prompting more people to abuse it rather than choosing to have it in your bio

[soft mortar]

Fair enough ig, I'm still in favour for it but that makes sense

Back on the subject of nationalities, definitely don't limit it to 1 flag since a lot of people are gonna have more than 1 nationality they identify with

[drifting willow]

Agreed maybe more than one flag option

Would be cool to see cultural attire incorporated in Recroom or a day where we can celebrate the culture of people in Recroom

[soft mortar]

Omg a kimono

[drifting willow]

Like in rec con you could creat youre on booth. What if we had a huge event where people could creat booths showcasing their culture

It would be amazing 😍

[soft mortar]

Cus like we already have headresses and atuff

[drifting willow]

There could be events on that day where people teach others few words in their language

The possibilities are endless with this one

[drifting willow]

Yeah but there are plethora of amazing cultures out there

[warm niche]

my opinion on e-daters (assuming they dont know each other irl)

get a life
I dont mean that to be rude
life is more than the internet. more than video games. if your love is online that you don't know, then that isn't your love. they're encouraging you to stay and play, talk, hang out online for longer, holding you back from so many things. Ironicaly, holding you back from a real relationship. the longer you're in this fake relationship, you cannot date people in real life because that's cheating. you get pulled into this relationship that, lets be honest, you probably haven't even seen their face before.

if your standard is random people online with an avatar that looks hot to you

i dont mean this as a joke, but go outside and enjoy nature. climb a rock, sit with the trees. go camping with your family. get off of the online "world".

[viral hedge]

So if you e-date that means you dont got a life 😭

[candid cape]

i mean thats partially true

[viral hedge]

damn I guess yall never heard of managing time

[ashen halo]

Fr

[viral hedge]

Like can no one multi task 😭 I have time to go do what I want and still hang out with the people I enjoy being around

[still spoke]

Ok ok this is a good point 😭😭

[rapid imp]

This guy has clearly never been in a real relationship before

[sleek light]

going outside is pretty solid advice

[viral hedge]

nah they just have aweird mindset

[rapid imp]

Have you seen his bio?

[candid cape]

yeah the last point is lowkey valid but

not supporting lgbtq

why?

[rapid imp]

Because “it’s not what god intended”

He told me himself

[candid cape]

what the fuck.

not everything has to be god's intention

i dont think god thought its a good idea to let humans go through 2 major wars

[viral hedge]

Yeah I seen very weird

[rapid imp]

I don’t think people know that most religion is just hate

[candid cape]

actually its pretty much 3 major wars

oh the last sentence made the whole thing questionable

(but i still think the last point is valid )

[rapid imp]

And he even acknowledges that what he is saying is controversial

[candid cape]

i think he's pointing out that he believes its stupid those topics are controversial

[viral hedge]

only thing I agree with

[rapid imp]

I don’t

[candid cape]

i mean even if you identify as a female and you are a female now

you are, factually, born as a male

you still hold your physical advantages over women

[viral hedge]

whole different topic

[candid cape]

and thats not something we can change now

[viral hedge]

dont get into it

just respect opinions

[candid cape]

this thread shifted to a lot of different topics already anyways

[sleek light]

i didnt see a lot of that here

[candid cape]

you wont be here if you respect opinions anyways bruh

[viral hedge]

Look I can bypass it

[rapid imp]

@sleek light I need a Inv to that server

[candid cape]

what the fuck

[drifting willow]

Left your wife?

[warm niche]

can you leave me alone

youve been posting me in different threads

"this person is a hot topic"

"this person is just in a religion of hate"

what did i do to make you so butt hurt

just leave me alone

actually ill just leave myself

but know this fact

it isnt homophobic to not agree with somebody's decisions

stop telling people that "all religion is is really just hate" like some kinda clown whos just trying to make more people hate us

youre so 1-dimensional its almost a joke

[rapid imp]

All religion is just full of hate

Hate for others groups of people who you don’t agree with

Maybe if you didn’t say so much fucked up shit, I wouldn’t be posting about you

[rapid imp]

Btw I never said that

I was directing that towards all religions

[sleek light]

[drifting willow]

Not true lol

The actual religion i wouldnt say is hate but the way people of such religion supposedly interpret their religious books. I mean for example bible says you should love your neighbor doesn't matter who they are so. 👀 yet people that claim to be of that denomination act otherwise

[shell dome]

I'm quietly resisting the urge to post images of various fish in here...

[warped bluff]

What kind of fish tho?🧀

[shell dome]

I'd start with trout then grouper after that I'd put a catfish a dogfish and a lionfish

and so on

[rigid yoke]

I saw a boy dating a 15-16 year old and the kid was like 12 or 11-ish I don’t remember the users of the two but I do remember them in the rec center near the kitchen area

[wraith plume]

he looks like hes screaming for help lmaooo

[rapid imp]

This one?

[wraith plume]

yeah

[icy jay]

You get hurt. Bad. thats why.

I dont get the point in it

[soft mortar]

If the 11-12 year old wasn't on a junior they were breaking the rules

[soft mortar]

Getting hurt is part of life
Having friends will get you hurt, going outside will get you hurt, having any relationship with another human being will get you hurt, interacting with other people will get you hurt

Getting hurt is not unique to e-dating

[rapid imp]

ONT

[viral hedge]

I got hurt falling off my scooter

[rapid imp]

Rest in peace man 🔥🔥💯💯💯

[rapid imp]

I got hurt by hitting my ankle with a scooter

[rigid yoke]

We ain’t talkin about it being illegal?

[soft mortar]

We're not talking about it being illegal because legality is not consistent across the entire planet Josh

11/12 and 15/16 is probably legal in most places, tbh I'm not sure it's actually illegal anywhere, which makes sense since both would be minors, but is definitely weird and probably a blind spot in the laws of most places

[wraith plume]

i think we can all agree this is insanely morally fucked

[candid cape]

[mossy flare]

It’s just weird bro

Like

Nobody likes them

[mossy flare]

Bro what 💀

[rapid imp]

It’s like

Furries

They exist and people don’t like them

Because they find them to be weird

[mossy flare]

You're just proving my point 😑

[rapid imp]

That’s why people hate edaters

Cuz a lot of people think they are weird

[mossy flare]

Most are just long distance relationships and the only way they can interact is online

Sure sometimes they should really take things to dms or a private room but other than that let them be happy 😷

[rapid imp]

FaceTime:

[mossy flare]

You ever tried giving someone a hug over face time?

[rapid imp]

You don’t feel it in vr either

[rapid imp]

The thing is not all of them do it in private

[mossy flare]

Maybe it's just a me thing then 😅

Yes, it is

[stone sinew]

wait what do we write down i forger

[half needle]

I forgor💀

[soft mortar]

If people are in public rooms they're gonna see all manner of public things, if people don't wanna do it in private that's fine as long as they aren't violating rules or breaking laws/ToS

Sure there are gonna be consequences to that but that's not for anyone else to worry about, they don't have to leave and they have just as much right to chill in public rooms together as anyone else does, if they're breaking rules or being sexual in public that's a whole other discussion

The argument of "I just don't wanna see it, do it in private" is the same thing people used to say about gay people, when it really doesn't affect you unless they're specifically coming up to you

[rapid imp]

People who use that argument disgust me

[bronze mason]

If you don't like seeing people cuddling in a rec center to bad get over it boohoo cry me a river mind your own business and people wouldn't have a problem simple

[still spoke]

Honestly people cuddling or something in public isn't really an issue friends do that too. It's just when they do other stuff and that's not only limited to edaters either.

honestly I don't see a problem with couples as a whole online or otherwise

[bronze mason]

You think I care

People are huge a holes to people in a rec center for just cuddleing they deserve nothing but rudeness

[whole magnet]

Kinda weird ig you could say for a older couple who date thru a game.

[drifting willow]

Lol funny conversation

Gotta love RecRoom chatter threads

😬

[rapid imp]

We don’t want to see their cuddly antics

[delicate thistle]

Look everyone has an opinion but it’s technically not that safe to e-date

[ivory locust]

Heads up, a lot of the chat was purged because people started arguing, discussing topics is fine and all, just make sure to adhere to rule #1 of the server, “be excellent to everyone”!

[delicate thistle]

Mhm

[tired pivot]

It doesn't bother me and shouldn't bother anyone if there just cuddling but why in a public place in the first place

[empty spindle]

I live for your pfp

Harmony is the queen

[rapid imp]

We hate edaters because it’s PUBLIC

that’s all

[ruby stump]

I feel as if e dating holds back the concept of getting to connect with others better because of the fact that you aren’t really seeing the person you are dating in person, but instead feeling affection through pixels. Also there comes the factor of there being a risk of predators. You never know who you’re talking to online and it’s very dangerous. If I were ever to get into a relationship, which I don’t plan on getting into for a while, I would much rather have it in person than online. I don’t want to date someone that is across the entire world from me and only be able to meet them via electronics.

Plus I find it weird how some e daters I see kiss each other while knowing they’re just kissing air. Like what if someone just walks into their room and sees them kissing air. Weird isn’t it?

Same with cuddling. I seriously don’t understand how people feel affection by cuddling with air. Oh right, “phantom sense”

Just my personal opinion

[rapid imp]

As a E-dater myself, writing this is MY opinion on this whole thing. I’m 15 my girlfriend is 14 we have been together for awhile now and are planning to meet eachother irl in about 2months. We know practically everything about each-other, we know how eachother looks irl all that stuff. I see it as just a long distance relationship and we only date across recroom in the meantime when we can’t see eachother irl because virtually reality is the closest thing to feeling like you’re really there next to them. I feel people who judge Edaters are just on the hate train or they’re just 8 and have no clue what they’re saying. Why should it matter if two individuals are chilling at the mirror cuddling, chatting and just having a good time together? It quite literally doesn’t affect you UNLESS the couple does sexual stuff in public which then the topic completely changes because that’s breaking the coc. If the couple isnt bothering anyone though and is just vibing why go out of your way to bash them for liking eachother online?

[still spoke]

I mean it's a hella long paragraph but has good points

[rapid imp]

TRUE

[dusky dagger]

i dont care if people e-date. its their decision. Here are the major cons to e dating

• Pe*os
• Sta*lkers
• Catfishers
• Kidnappers (if you give away details)
• Identity Theft (if you give away details)

These are just some points that can happen, regardless if its in rec room or not

[rapid imp]

Also, hate from others for keeping it public.

[dusky dagger]

this ^

[rapid imp]

For the love of god, bring a parent or guardian if you meet up to make sure they aren’t a predator

[dusky dagger]

yeah @rapid imp this is incredibly important

[rapid imp]

They aren’t I’ve known this person forever and trust them with my life. Both our parents are aware of who were dating and are up for it too

[rapid imp]

[dusky dagger]

you cannot go alone, even if it is a girl who appears it could be bait

Going alone is dangerous

[inland portal]

I online dated once

It didn’t turn out great

That was a year ago

[drifting willow]

Fortunately in your case but not all cases

[ruby stump]

Mirror couples bother me because I find it actually so weird to see people stare at themselves for hours on end into a mirror. When I see everyone in the rec center in the mirror room looking at themselves, I find it so sad because it looks like people aren’t productive at all and just sit and stare at themselves. I call the mirror room stinky for that reason.

[spice siren]

Personally I would not online date, I have friends who do so the and I’m 100% supportive about it and all, i personally could not handle online dating because I can’t do long distance it’s just too hard for me to do, not because I would cheat but because I would miss them too much and start being depressed over not being able to do normal touching thingys the couples do, for me my love language is physical touch so that is why I personally don’t online date but I am 100% supportive of my friends who online date 😄 it’s same as having online friends except you date said person their really isn’t much of a difference other than distance(and when you meat in person it no longer becomes online dating)

[proud glacier]

Dont e date

Lol

[ruby stump]

Dating at a young age is unhealthy

Dating in recroom is even more unhealthy

[empty spindle]

Fr

[still spoke]

what the fuck.

yay it's gone

[viral hedge]

It isn't dating at a young age is good for experience for future relationships

[rigid yoke]

You are wrong for that

[viral hedge]

?

[stray roost]

walnutGrain1320 is typing...

[rapid imp]

So a person that gets into a relationship at a young age will most definitely experience heartbreak, but heartbreak is required for entering future relationships. If a person never had a relationship when they were young they wouldn’t have that experience that they would’ve gotten when they were younger therefore they will most likely fail at finding love, be very awkward, and never have a meaningful relationship

[random anchor]

I met my gf on recroom. Now we live together.

[rigid yoke]

No because at young age it can cause depression, fear of rejection, and more, younglings don’t need relationships only 15 and above

[rapid imp]

It’s from my experience

[candid cape]

dating at a young age where both sides aren’t psychologically, physically ready only builds up wrong ideas about love for the kids

[viral hedge]

?

its not that deep

I promise you

relationships are good to have for circumstances that you would encounter in the future

[candid cape]

if your only argument is "its not that deep"
ill just let you be

[warped bluff]

W🧀

[wraith plume]

aww thats so nice

[ruby stump]

Yeah but can ruin a young one’s mental health because they aren’t fully matured

[viral hedge]

read above what I said your comment

[candid cape]

that does not conflict with my point

[viral hedge]

yeah it can even hurt a adult mental health too O:

[candid cape]

even youre agreeing with my point

[viral hedge]

?

how

[candid cape]

what makes you think kids can handle emotional issues that not even adults can handle

[viral hedge]

when did I say kids need to handle emotional issues?

[still spoke]

here we go again..

[viral hedge]

all i said it is good to have experience with relationships even at an younger age

[candid cape]

you literally promoted kids to date at a young age

your so called experiences are bound to end if it becomes an experience

and if it ends, emotional issues comes along

[viral hedge]

an middle school relationship is not that serious 💀

[candid cape]

a middle school relationship is what breaks the most easily

given that puberty happens during middle school and puberty often comes with unstable emotions

just imagine what unstable emotion + the emotions from the end of a relationship equals to

[viral hedge]

not everyone is the same so people dating at young ages is wrong?

cause they cant handle their emotions?

[candid cape]

we're talking about an objective, a general situation that has high chances of happening

[candid cape]

emotion damages can be heavier than you thought

sure it might not last long enough to your adulthood

[viral hedge]

that comes with any relationship no matter the age

[candid cape]

but definitely enough to traumatize your entire puberty

[candid cape]

those who are in puberty are the most vulnerable

sure i aint stopping you from dating early

but i dont recommend anyone to

its just not wise to

[viral hedge]

I guess sure xd

[candid cape]

but fairly speaking just go for it if you think you guys can last

you might not end up finding yourself your so called "chosen one" when youre older

[karmic owl]

i mean, that's not always true. i was 13 when i got into my first relationship. i still think it was too young to start, but it's going to happen once kids reach a certain age. it did last a whole year before we broke it off! no harm was really done. this was with my best friend at the time, my friend since we were 7, and we're still friends to this day. now we both have our own partners, and it's something we look back on and laugh about!
i know we all have our own opinions about this, but remember that debating about it isn't really gonna stop it from happening. that's just how middle schoolers brains work

[candid cape]

again, what i used as an example is a general situation that has relatively higher chances to happen

i am not denying other possibilities

[karmic owl]

maybe that's just how i read it!

but i get it now

[ruby stump]

Yeah well at least adults are mature enough to control themselves however some cannot

[viral hedge]

Just because someone is an a “adult” doesn’t mean they are mature they can still be ignorant to situations they have never encountered and they wouldn’t always be able to control themselves

[drifting willow]

I gotta agree with this
Which is why parents need to provide good examples of a healthy relationship for their kids to emulate in the future

[lusty flax]

for real, if kids go on dating at a young age they are going to be immature in future relationships where love is actually important and screw up and be lonely for the rest of their lives

[drifting willow]

Are you a TWICE fan by any chance

[lusty flax]

yes😈🤞

[drifting willow]

Same

[lusty flax]

omg whos your bias and fav song?

[drifting willow]

Jeongyeon

Talk that talk

[lusty flax]

yess i love jeongyeon yet i don’t have a single photo card of her 😢

but my favorite song is either basics, alcohol free or like ooh ah

[drifting willow]

Lol i don't have a photo card of any of them 😅

[lusty flax]

😅

[still spoke]

Twice

[rapid imp]

na kpop is weird

but reaver got the best point ever, people who date in vr cant get a girl or a guy in real life

[drifting willow]

Have u gave it a listen

[rapid imp]

message more for free stolen RecRoom game's and RecRoom studio

[rapid imp]

yeah and its dogshit

[drifting willow]

To each to.their.own..maybe try to be a bit open minded

[rapid imp]

bro, do you know english grammar

[drifting willow]

I'm typing on my phone. So I'll make.typos

[still spoke]

Kpop a W but each to their own

[drifting willow]

And we have another W person in the thread

[rapid imp]

The thing is people see the toxic part of the fan base and don’t want to go near kpop

[still spoke]

Of course

[rapid imp]

I am one of those people

[still spoke]

I can understand that

[drifting willow]

[rapid imp]

Unless it’s gangham style

[still spoke]

the fandom is quite questionable to say the least. I've been in it for 3-4 years

[warped bluff]

This chat some how's goes into topic and then after into something completely different it happened a few times now🧀

[whole magnet]

I'm the 4th option wanna go out? 😉

[tidal light]

I dont e-date bc i have social anxiety even in video games.

[bronze mason]

people that start shit is who i block they will literally join the game and start saying disrespectful shit like people like that can get an insta blocked and banned that's just how I feel

[dusky dagger]

hell yeaaaa 😎

[whole magnet]

Bet 😉

[dusky dagger]

Does your van have free candy though?

[quaint rampart]

Hola

[whole magnet]

Maybe.. you have to find out if u join me on recroom

[stuck condor]

who said it was

[stuck condor]

i love stories like this

[dusky dagger]

its sad tho

its pixels

you are dating literal pixels

[still spoke]

if they are ONLY dating each other on rec room then yeah it's stupidity 💀

[dusky dagger]

also this @scenic sonnet

[still spoke]

because if you're going to date someone you should try to know as much as you can about them. I see no point in using the game as the only form of contact 😭

[dusky dagger]

i dont care i just think its sad

[dusky dagger]

fr

[still spoke]

that's just me tho many others are like that too but then again some aren't.

It's not only safety it's just logik

[soft mortar]

Irl you're literally just dating atoms

[dusky dagger]

ya but it isnt real e dating

[soft mortar]

Bro what?

All you've said so far is "it's just sad" and "you're dating pixels" and given no justification for the former statement, meanwhile the latter is just wrong

When you date someone irl you aren't dating them for the atoms they're made of, you're dating them for who they are, their personality, their identity, you aren't dating their clothes, you aren't dating their fingernails, you aren't dating their skin, you aren't dating their atoms, you're dating them as an individual, what you're dating doesn't change because you're doing it through the medium of VR, you can make out that it does but it really doesn't, it's just a shallow justification

[still spoke]

ok ok another good point. I do think people shouldn't date only through a game tho, BUT if they are happy and safe as there are plenty like that then 🤷🏾‍♀️

although at least for me exchanging socials and stuff is a big deal especially for safety reasons too.

[celest swan]

When the people in the thread don’t even answer what the thread was about

[still spoke]

lmao

[viral hedge]

when people date on the game it isn't just on the game they obv got other ways to contact eachother without having the headset on to contact

[still spoke]

some people do date only the game tho which is what i was talking about. It's probably a very little amount tho

[viral hedge]

those are the weirdos though who like get like 10 different girls on the game 💀 those people dont take it serious and just fool around with them

[still spoke]

ok also good point ig I had an ex like that 💀

[shell dome]

Y’all gotta think about it like this if y’all could have a relationship with the potential love of you life through a glass window forever would you? Or would you not take the chance entirely because there’s a window blocking y’all from touching? I find that most people that shun e dating never tried it before saying that in no circumstances should anybody use it…

Also end this thread before I receive 5 counts of damage to private property for each nuke I shall drop on discord’s servers

All this being said if I ever find myself dating it will be in person due to preference but I will definitely not think less of any online relationships.

[warped bluff]

🧀👍

[rapid imp]

🐟

[warped bluff]

I honestly agree with u 100% right here and I when I get people trying to say that edateing is so weird and sad I always tell them that at least I found someone that I really love and that even tho it may be online and distance sooner or later it won't be like that for long and that to me I am happy being with them even if we can't actually touch cuz at least we have a connection without needing to actually feel each other and it funny cuz it's usually the people who don't have a partner that tell me these things and I hope that made some sense 🧀

[shell dome]

1. Everybody’s situation is different
2. There are no statistics from what I’ve seen so far pointing to any heavy negative correlations dealing with online dating (feel free to share)
3. Online dating can be done without the cringe factor privately or publicly and even so respectfulness is above thinking something is cringey (won’t stop me from making any jokes though)
4. It’s not anyone’s choice to decide how you have a relationship (suggestions at most) in the end it’s really your decision.

Overall online dating should be at least considered as an alternative option for people with different circumstances or people that are looking for another way to connect romantically.
(Hopefully this can end this threads discussion we’ve covered most talking points on this subject and going on is pretty much pointless back and forth.)

[warped bluff]

Tbh everytime u said something it should've ended there cuz u kinda say everything that can really be said but i think i remember that they will still probably keep it open just for people to give there opinions 🧀

[shell dome]

Yep people will restate already discussed opinions

I hope most online daters have at least tried in person dating that is my only concern/criticism

[viral hedge]

ong

[rapid imp]

I guess it makes people uncomfortable when it’s in public

[rapid imp]

Just imagine being on public transport and the people next to you are making out. That’s how it feels

[prisma aspen]

^This like we have private rooms for a reason

[rapid imp]

Precisely

But the edaters that don’t use private rooms are the ones that get hated on the most

[prisma aspen]

If I wanted to see old man trying Rizz up a girl I would have just stayed in school

[candid cape]

bro got real

[bronze mason]

This is why you mind your own business for a reason

The world would be a better place if everyone wasn't up each other ass

If you see a couple in a rec center cool ignore them it's simple if you don't like it mute or block them

[candid cape]

i mean it is kind of confusing you choose to date in public yet you get annoyed by people

then what’s the point

[bronze mason]

Its not really just mind your business and the couple will mind there's lol that's how it works

[shell dome]

We’ve been here before

[ripe shoal]

Honestly I don't have a problem with it in my opinion it's like a f
Phase honestly they'll stop eventually but I have meet some couples that have actually loved and cared for each other but I'd prefer irl fr fr

[stiff pond]

The desperation says it all

[acoustic hull]

bruh

[candid cape]

but i dont see any disadvantage of staying in a private room though?

you can both avoid unnecessary harassment

and stop toxicity

[rapid imp]

Guess I can’t say that

But it’s the truth

[stuck condor]

people to be flirty in vr be like "Damm, are you mc donalds because i am loving it" or like something really dumb

cant believe i caught that

[delicate thistle]

I didnt say non wrong thooo

I just said i e-date and i dont have any trouble with it

I ask for their age

And listen for their voice

If they are actually who they say they are

[tacit field]

jus like irl dating it can be too much and weird for everyone else but i dont think theres anything wrong with e dating

[grim pond]

It's annoying is a perfectly valid reason because it's annoying as hell

[tacit field]

not rlly. jus cuz u dont like sum dont mean ppl shouldnt have the freedom to choose, Andrew Jackson, writer of the Declaration of Independence

[shell dome]

Y’all really had to bring it back

[dawn badger]

Normally there are only 6 years old behind the screen

[delicate thistle]

Ikr

Thats why i always say turn on your mic

[misty vector]

Mainly because people can’t keep it to themselves and do it in public spaces

[rapid imp]

Ik why people e date tbh

[spice siren]

Bc they love each other?

[rapid imp]

Yes and no

They mainly do it cuz they are either very desperate or not good at talking to girls/boys face to face

[warped bluff]

Or they just found someone that they actually enjoyed being with and talking too

[rapid imp]

And that yes

[young ingot]

Uh cause most edaters are in your face or so obnoxious things

[rapid imp]

That’s cap tbh most players go into e daters faces and just say downright nasty things when they could be chilling

[wraith plume]

true true

[rapid imp]

The people who have problems with e-daters are the same people who wake up, and choose violence no matter the situation. The losers who have such miserable lives, that they think making fun of people will bring a little joy into their lives, but at the end of the day, will end up miserable again, and if it’s not that reason… it’s because they’re jealous that they can’t even get anyone irl, or online 😂

[prisma aspen]

Or just have bad experiences with them

But could be true

[rapid imp]

I try to understand what bad experiences one could have with e-daters? Like usually I see couples minding their own business, unless they get approached by assholes trying to start stuff

[proper dagger]

A db game could extend a extra 15 minutes because the edaters are on opposite teams and refuse to kill each other even though they’re the last ones alive

[indigo orchid]

sounds about right

[rapid imp]

Now that’s understandable but that’s why the vote kick button exist. Not all e daters are like that though

I hate it when people make the lame ass excuse Of hating couples just cause it’s “cringe” that’s the main thing I hear

[sleek light]

this channel is still alive

block people you dont like

[proper dagger]

On smaller servers though the vote kick could fail because they’d obviously vote no

[rapid imp]

That’s true

[acoustic hull]

As long as they aren’t harassing or bullying anybody. I won’t care. It’s a neutral feeling for me.

[warped bluff]

I respect that cuz when I am just talking to my gf and we are doing our own thing we would sometimes just get attack for a group of people and harass just for talking and being close to each other 🧀

[violet wren]

Dates in IRL is better honestly

[dreamy lodge]

because alot of them are like 9 and get mad if you try to talk to their girl, some e-daters r cool. nice people. but i haven't seen e-daters much recently

[rapid imp]

Its awkward

[candid cape]

who taught this guy using fire to fight fire is a good idea

being this aggressive to defend your point that “edaters are fine” doesn’t make your point valid
it lowkey makes you look like a 9 years old trying to justify him edating

[candid cape]

i’m pretty sure some people do and will get fucked up by online relationships

if you’re willing to dedicate your feelings into an online relationship
you also made yourself vulnerable to it

[inland portal]

Who was making fun of them?
Clearly nobody in this thread?
Here we give our opinions?

[candid cape]

opinions are fine but don’t just come in and shit on everyone here without providing a valid point

i don’t see the relation between an edater hater and a violent guy

call me dumb but i really don’t think they’re that related

[inland portal]

I’m sayin, people who defend it that hard are e-daters themselves.

I was gonna say something else but it would break COC 😔

[candid cape]

it’s understandable but jesus
provide some valid points

shitting on someone for no reason doesn’t make you any better than “people who wake up and choose violence”

[inland portal]

I personally don’t like it, mainly because I’ve done it once.
My experience is them shitting on you for a opinion and they go spread lies about you to ruin a reputation you’ve grown

And also because a lot of people who are in relationships with “Mutes” could be in a relationship with a p3d0 and they would’ve even know it

I ran into that problem because my friend was e dating somebody and she was a mute, we found out who they were because they were shit talking us through discord messages and they accidentally turned their mic on when we were all in call

It was a whole ass man 😭

[candid cape]

shit happened to me once as well

may or may not be the reason why i dislike edating

it also happens irl but like
idk why but it just happens a lot more online

people happen to be assholes more often

[warped bluff]

Like me🧀😎

[inland portal]

😔

You’re entitled to your opinions

I think it’s a bit poo poo

[warped bluff]

Understandable some people just have different experiences with it some good and some bad so it makes sense if someone doesn't like it

[bronze mason]

I've also been fucked up by real life relationships so it depends on what you experience it's different for everyone

[candid cape]

this

people tend to be more unhinged online tbh

it’s a trend

[bronze mason]

I wish people wouldn't go after people who edate especially if they don't know the person or their experiences same with the other side some edater are a little annoying sometimes but people gotta learn to ignore them

[still spoke]

wow this thread is still alive

[sleek light]

thas what i said

[blissful wasp]

I quite literally was bullied in a room for “e dating” despite never e dating in my life

[still spoke]

and you are right

[candid cape]

it essentially is the issue of people being assholes

a normal person wouldnt get a gf then start flexing on the entire server

or do the most annoying shits ever

a normal person wouldnt pull up to a couple and starts shitting on them either

[bronze mason]

Yeah I normally just ignore e couples cause I myself have done it and have been harassed for no reason at all

[grim pond]

I think it's reasonable to ignore them in game but that means I get to talk as much crap as I want out of the game

[rapid imp]

Its really hard too

[hollow laurel]

love is love

if people are giving you problems just block them

[hushed lava]

[still spoke]

Factual about the love is love statement 🏳️‍🌈. And true especially if they're being bigoted about it, that's why God blessed us with the block button

[grim pond]

Is love truly love

[shell dome]

This thread is still open? 🌚

[still spoke]

yeah same 💀

[opal flame]

the guys that e date girls that dont speak eather are a guy or there eight

[rapid imp]

it’s just that they are annoying and they are scared to even talk and reveal there voice,they need to go in a dating app instead 💀

[sleek light]

would be weird to have kids on dating apps

then again its already weird allowing edating on a game with both kids and adults

[still spoke]

true. there be literally 10 yr olds trying to get a gf when they can find someone who's an adult very easily quite scary ngl

honestly just edating in general can be dangerous.

[hollow laurel]

why are people still mad about this? anyone 13 has to be a junior account regardless, so rec room cant do anything on that.

and
just let be people be happy ❤️

[hollow laurel]

rec room cant moderate relationships. and also, if rec room were to annouce that people cant have relationships inside a Social game. people would be outraged

rec room isnt really meant for dating.

[sleek light]

then maybe kids shouldnt date online

[still spoke]

this is true of course ppl dating irl or online doesn't have anything to do with me. But I've come across plenty of children not on jr accounts and able to interact with 17 yr olds. And the internet is still if not sometimes more dangerous now nor do i recommend 10 yr olds dating. But I honestly just want them to be safe

and this goes for any age, kids, teens, or adults, if they're going to date or even just find friends they should be careful y'know

but I don't condone ppl harassing couples because they could be edating. That's just kinda weird and not accomplishing anything ngl.

[rapid imp]

they make it really gross and are so touchy.

and THEY AREN"T EVEN TOUCHING

[hollow laurel]

wouldnt that be the parents fault then for endangering children to predators online

• children are endangering themselves by not being on a jr account

[sleek light]

to a degree sure

then again its endorsed by rec room

[hollow laurel]

sadly

same situation as roblox though

impossible to moderate this type of stuff

[sleek light]

little different for roblox since they dont allow online dating

and the reason being is to protect kids

rec room openly welcomes it

little weird

especially since their main playerbase is children

[hollow laurel]

yeah

its a giant issue overall

they should update the coc regarding children enaging in romantical activity

like roblox has

but it should be a no brainer anyway to see why children shouldnt date older people

[faint quartz]

Well public dating events are already banned due to the COC, so that’s something.
