Age Verification/NSFW Content
I'm going to get straight to the point on this one. On a platform like VRChat, NSFW stuff is going to happen, no matter what the terms says and no matter what is/isn't allowed. People are going to do this no matter what you do and in fact it already does happen... all the time. I feel the best solution to the problem is some sort of age verification as well as usage of the NSFW tags in the SDK for avatars and worlds. The use of the age verification system would let users set their birth date or just their age and would automatically filter out content with any NSFW tags along with the option to hide birth dates and ages either from everyone or people that aren't friends or both. The report system would be a way to get around issues with this as well as users showing proof with ID so that false reports do not occur. Plus with this system, legally the situations players find themselves in would fall upon the players themselves rather than VRChat, especially if you make a disclaimer specifying this in the terms. As it currently stands, potentially the legal issues fall on VRChat for not enforcing the terms enough to filter out NSFW content and this would resolve the issue entirely. It's only a matter of time before something happens in-game and VRChat gets sued. I'm no lawyer, but it doesn't take one to know stuff like this happens. As for NSFW Content Filters, this would also solve the issue for adults that do not want to see certain NSFW content. Again, making it legally their responsibility rather than VRChat's responsibility. Making use of the check boxes in the SDK would make it much easier for this filter to work. There's honestly no good reason for this to not already be a feature in VRChat beyond lack of time as I know it does take time to implement something like this and some effort on the team's part, but this would solve a lot of potential future issues and I'd rather not see this platform in the same position as the Titanic, thinking everything is going great and then one thing happens and it's all over. Edit: I'd like to also add at this point that most VRChat users, or at least from what I've seen, actually don't care if NSFW stuff is in VRChat. Most people generally have a "keep it in the bedroom" sort of mentality where they're fine with it if it's not in their face. I've in fact seen many NSFW avatars in public worlds as well as NSFW discussions and other content in public worlds and people just don't care because the users, avatars, and worlds stay in VRChat without being reported or anything. There is literally no way around NSFW content and this is the only solution that makes sense: Just allow it and use content filters and age verification.

Folders for Uploaded Avatars
We want some way to group my uploaded avatars list to make it easier to select avatar. 日本語要約は下にあります Abstract Current VRChat doesn't have any way to manage avatars except for avatar favorites. Japanese have uploaded many avatars and will more when we follow official recommendation, one avatar should have one outfit. According to my survey, over 33% of Japanese have more than 50 avatar variations. We don't want to use avatar favorites and they are inadequate so we want some alternative for uploaded avatars. As a one alternative, I request folders for Uploaded Avatars. Why not avatar favorites? There are two big reasons. First, we want to use avatar favorites for public avatars. Even though we have uploaded many avatars, We want to use public avatars. Currently, avatar favorite is the only way to keep public avatars so I want another. The other is that number of avatar favorites is not enough for this usage. We only have 6 avatar favorites. I want to group into more groups. Why Japanese have many avatars? In Japanese community, almost everyone have multiple outfits for multiple bodies, so we actually have many avatars. I surveyed about this on Twitter for Japanese VRChatters. The result says about 33.1% have more than 50 avatar variations. Someone says they actually have uploaded over 500 avatars (they upload one avatar for one outfits), and another says they have 1000 avatar variations in total (they upload one avatar for multiple outfits). survey: https://twitter.com/anatawa12_vrc/status/1672077245165256732 500+: https://twitter.com/narazaka/status/1672154813684146176 1000+: https://twitter.com/MekaNyankoVR/status/1672466157927006208 However, current VRChat doesn't have way to manage uploaded avatars. So, we want some way to manage uploaded avatars. The reason why many people have many outfits is that there are huge variety of outfits for avatar bodies and many people bought many of them. In Japanese community, many outfits author make some or huge variation for many avatars, so It's easy for people to add, combine, and customize outfits to their avatars. For example, in Capettiya and mumu , popular outfits and avatar stores, many outfits are made for about 40 avatars. VRChat may think most one doesn't have such a number of avatars by server metrics. However, there's a reason why the number have huge difference. Many Japanese combines many outfits into one avatar violating official recommendation that one avatar should have one outfit. Instead of uploading avatar by outfits, many Japanese uploads one avatar for one body, and they change outfits with expression menu. That's one of the reasons why Japanese Avatars will always have many skinned meshes and PhysBones, and huge VRAM usage in their avatar. There are multiple reasons why they do that but one of the biggest reason is that with many avatars, we cannot choose avatar easily from list if we do (or already). (Previously, Not keeping the calibration settings is another biggest reason, but it's now fixed with IK 2.0) Some Similar Canny There is another Canny to improve problem with many avatars. I strongly want folders for uploaded avatars but those canny can improve problems with many avatars. Switching Avatars from Expression Menu and/or Contacts Menu Design Suggestion I made two image for design suggestion for Avatar Folders, one for Main Menu and the other for wing on MM/QM. I hope this may help you to understand my image for this feature. 日本語要約 アップロード済みアバターの管理方法として、フォルダ機能を追加してほしいです。 多くのアバターを持っている人は、アバターを切り替えたい時、目的のアバターを探しづらいと思いますが、VRChat公式が推奨している「1アバター1衣装」を実践すると、更にアバターの数が増えてしまい、大変です。 そのため、アバターを管理しやすいようにフォルダ機能がほしいです。
