Technically, this relates to content gating and not the age verification, however it looks like soon they'll be directly tied together. And I can't stand that for a simple reason.

If I have to send my government ID to see the content gated avatars in front of me in VRChat, I'm never going to publics again. I require situational AWARENESS as a baseline for being ok with being in public, and that should not conflict with my desire to be anonymous online. I've also said this on alternate solution posts.

Basically, I'm not getting verified. In terms of participating? I'm fine with that. I'm Ace, I don't care personally. The argument for the ID security issue for adult content is a separate one (which I agree with for separate reasons in separate posts!).

Now to clarify for anyone who doesn't know, adult content (BY TOS) is not allowed in friends or friends+ or public lobbies. NEVER has been. Doesn't matter if you THINK that everyone who will join is consenting. If anyone who can join has any potential to be non consenting, it breaks TOS.

And without groups instances having content gate labels, it shouldn't be allowed there either. (And again, still never in publics)

If you're gonna make it so I can't see people, make it so they can't do things I can't see while being around me.
