i notice over the last few years a wave of cis human only racist aholes on imvu?? have you..???? imean there been a huge rise in human only rooms and no furry rooms or no monster, freak, vamps, no anything but humans mostly white rooms or the rise of the **** ROOM..

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?
OR IS IT JUST ME.ANY POV OF THIS IS WELCOME.

I haven't been on IMVU in a good while and when I was, I mostly kept to myself. The last time I was on several months ago, there were a lot of furry rooms and rooms dedicated to other niches. In fact, I'd be surprised to see the kind of rooms you describe considering how IMVU staff are notorious for removing anything they don't like.

That said, I believe anyone should be able to make whatever room they want, people don't have to go in them if they don't want to. I'm personally not a fan of furries so I would stay out of rooms dedicated to them but I wouldn't try to stop someone from making one.

Also, lets make sure to keep this thread a-political or it'll get locked.

Yeah ... IMVU's AI moderation has been removing rooms from search results for about a year now. It mostly targets rooms with inhuman themes or taboo kinks. It ignores descriptions that disallow those things though, so when you search rooms now ... instead of getting rooms for what you are searching for, you instead get rooms that disallow what you are searching for.

i put goth gaming etc. decent tags my room dont get people lol. i am honestly cool with it lol less drama less m ods i need to have. and less bs but yeah it does suck because when i search rooms like Gaming Hangout goth, Emo, Chill, Cool Vibes and such i get rooms like "femboy fuck tards" or "futas Hangout" and im like BITCH THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED so i gave up with room searching lmao.

interesting so its imvu fault atleast partialy im running into mid age wanna be white swingers who are racists?? okay thats intersting... im sorry for the poli part i wasnt thinkng im very sorry.

I didnt encounter this before.. Maybe because am busy making my own room and invite friends.. I dont usually enter public rooms unless if i was bored.. Imagine to be racist in a socializing game.. It odd how they bring real life into this imaginary place where people just rp and have fun.

When I first tapped onto this post I didn't know what to expect but yeah this very true to cab you even report them for it?

Imvu is deletes all the inhumane rooms tagged with furry and vamps they too deleted the kinky places and taboo places.so its less likely for you to find places like that.imvu has been doing it a long time now.thank you

That feels like a pretty heated and dare I say close-minded take. I actually find it to be the opposite situation, so I fear maybe your own preferences and prejudices might be clouding your view a little? I still come across a bunch of furry rooms, about as many as in years gone. Not something I'm into, so it's hard to say for sure given it's something I don't search for. I'd expect there to be less now though, since the general IMVU population is very low compared to what it used to be; common denomination and all that. I don't visit public rooms super often these days, so I couldn't tell you how people are acting now, but the general consensus seems to be that cliqueyness and 'silent types' are at an all time high right now. Both among friends and general VU users I've seen and spoken to so I'll take their word for it if that's what you mean by people being assholes. Then again, I think there's a lot more assholes in the world in general these days then there used to be. Again, partly a generational thing, but moreover I just feel people have become a LOT more antagonistic and overly-comfy in using the internet as a safety blanket to treat others poorly, or scream bloody murder when someone dares to have a different opinion or view. Personally, I think everyone needs to chill out more.

While I don't think the "colour" of a room is, or should ever be relevant, I feel pretty confidently it's the polar opposite. I mean "BBC" has been the cookie cutter, overdone NSFW room tag for years now which in of itself kind of gives you your answer. Likewise there's a metric ton of "black" rooms if you're into urban culture and all that jazz. Always has been, but I'd argue more than ever since mobile took off and that's still the case. Very common to see people of varying race and skin shades in more general rooms as well. I don't think IMVU's ever not been multicultural and I'm all for it. (Pizza Parlour circa 2010-12 comes to mind.) Infact I'd argue there's an immense degree of the 'newer' IMVU catalogue that's been catered specifically towards people of non-white descent. Honestly, it's about time it finally took off more so people have more options, but it can be a downside if you want things that are explicitly non-black, like certain types or styles of hair, etc. Pros and cons, right? Or moderation, I guess.

One thing I will say it there does seem to be a lot less general roleplay rooms, especially when it comes to vampire stuff. You're absolutely right there. I think that's partly due to changing times in terms of vampires just not being considered all that cool anymore and newer generations that just aren't into it as a part of pop culture. It's the same as zombie stuff, it just isn't popular anymore, not since the early days of TWD and before. Couple that with a lot of the older and original users leaving (or being banned for ridiculous reasons) and boom, you have a lot less creative and adventurous rooms like vamp stuff.

all your takes on this matter are amazing.. i feel that its mite be a mix of both veiw points yes imvu is trying to clean up there image and since folks are either leaving or being removed of the freak kind. the human only are rising to the surface like scum.
