Personal Space Update

There's been a large problem with strangers invading others space and tho personal space is an option as well as hiding avatars. Personal space only having an option to either fully be on or off makes it very limiting, I would use it more to keep strangers out of my space but then I wouldn't be able to hug my friends or cuddle my bf unless I take it off. Having the option to turn it on for strangers and off for friends would be a great feature, set up similar to how you already have the shield settings and the distance settings. Please consider this for a future update, thank you

Please we need more people to show support for this suggestion. It's easy implementation with a lot of harm prevention in return.

Sounds very reasonable.

I've been saying this for well over a year amongst friends. But a feature like this is desperately needed. Folks in VRChat usually either get really upset or disgusting when someone says they don't like strangers touching them, especially if its for phantom sense reasons.
I cannot count the amount of times over my time spent in VRChat that I've sexually harassed by strangers because I said "Please don't touch me, especially my face. Got a lil too much phantom sense."

This would be very helpful for a lot of reasons. Additionally, being able to change the area at which it takes effect for the other person's avatar would help, too.

To clarify a bit
i want to add onto the already existing feature with the option to select who
this would be client side only with our personal settings and wouldnt effect anyone around us
some people are non confrontational, alot of people dont like to cause drama by blocking cuz it just creates an akward and unhealthy environment
It should just be normalized to not touch someone without consent but i thought this change could help both parties

I'd love a feature where I can choose who can and can not interact with me physically. It would save me from having to run around the world trying to avoid that one person who just doesn't understand basic socal cues. VRChat definitely has an issue with non consentual touching and it needs to stop.

Would love to have this ability to have personal space off for friends but on still otherwise.
