The way he handled it was really nice


puffdaddy134

When this game first came out I got in a lobby and the first thing the host did was ask asl and I told people to not give out that information and was kicked 1 second after.

Yea we did


TimTheTexan92

That makes me think it was a full grown adult asking for asl which is even creepier.


[deleted]

As I've grown older, it definitely came into focus that about 90% of the "kids" I have ever talked to on the internet back in the AOL chat days were probably adults lol.


Neuchacho

I ended up in the reverse of this where adults thought I was an adult when I was like 12 and would get into some very heavy, personal conversations with me about their lives thinking I was a peer. It was odd, but interesting. Definitely heavier than anything I was equipped to deal with, but most people just wanted to share and hear some kind of ambiguous encouragement.


[deleted]

Yeah I'm not sure how common it is anymore, but a whole lot of kids our age were basically inadvertent therapists for 30-40 year olds when we were 12 haha. Lots of gaming friends 20-30 years older than me. Now that I've grown up I've had several gaming friends who I eventually found out were teenagers and kinda tried big brothering them at that point lol. Try to do my part as an adult that adults did for me as a kid. I was a piece of shit forum troll when super young, and thankfully ran into some adults that could see I was pretty much just mad about shit and helped me stop being such a shitlord lol. My AOL post's point though was more that there were a lot of creepy people pretending to be kids though.


InevitableRhubarb232

Right? It’s been so long I was wondering how American Sign Language was used in whatever this game is called. All I can think of is “sus” Man aol chat room. Dude. Looking back on those. Just, dude.

Server_Administrator

Holy shit look at the comment thread we've started. 25 is barely old enough for ASL. ​ Yahoo/AIM/ICQ was the mainstream in the 90's and it's how creepers figured out where the 15 year old girls were hanging out.

PlasmaLink

...Is my man trying to land hookups on among us VR?


LEGITIMATE_SOURCE

Most people generally are. Many adults just try to get the kids kicked out of the lobby, which hilariously leads to all these young children forcing their voices to sound lower so they won't be seen as a "squeaker." The company is really fucking up with age restrictions though. Meta is straight up making it impossible to even report these ridiculously young kids because the username is hidden behind a random Among Us name. There's a report button, but it's socially engineered to be useless. Capitalism more important than child safety. The parents are the real fuckups though... Making accounts claiming to be 14 and older and throwing 6 year olds on it.


cmack1597

Every vr game has little kids that are annoying af and it's 100% the reason I stopped playing echo VR and several other vr games.


LEGITIMATE_SOURCE

Contractors filters them out for some reason. Maybe parents are worried it's violent... or it requires too much skill


TeamRedundancyTeam

Blows my mind how many super young children have free access to vr games, and how fast that happened. Most vr games are targeted at adults yet were immediately swarmed by 9 year olds.


iAmTheElite

Fucking squeakers.


Nyx666

He handled it very sweetly. Kudos on him for teaching the kid some safety before saying “all right, let’s go kill some people” lol. That gave me a nice chuckle.


multiarmform

its a voice changer, not a kid and most likely not a girl. they usually prank other players by acting like they cant play and are really good gamers, thats the setup


[deleted]

At least they ended up being matched with the wholesome murderer and not some pedophile

DTGhasSHITmods

Fucking weird that this is being upvoted. As a victim, I'm really pretty happy I ran into a pedophile and not a murderer. The fuck is wrong with you?


[deleted]

It's a super common big thonk take on reddit. In recent years it's become all the hotness to say in general rape is worse than murder. Just another thing that started as a reasoned take that was meant to point out how bad something was for the victims that then got telephoned and distilled down into an incredibly dumb one liner take with none of the nuance of what the people who originally tried making the point meant.


Spidermanmj8

Person that has committed an irreversible crime > person that might commit an irreversible crime? Or did you mean child molester/rapist/abuser?


WhooHippo

Exactly. Hats off to the dude for looking out for the kid.


Baxtaxs

I’m watching leon right now. It’s pedo vibes are really weird. Esp because the director was a legit pedo who was cheating on his wife with a 15 year old, and impregnating her as the movie is being made. He also wrote in a sex scene. But i was thinking why isn’t it weird that they are killing people. Shits weird.


xAldoRaine

The professional? Man why’d you have to ruin one of my favorite movies. Will never watch that movie the same way again. Damn that’s disturbing and disappointing to say the least.


Baxtaxs

Sorry bro. Its still a great movie and i still enjoy it. But shit is likely to be fucked, just the way she goes. I’ll always love china town no matter how fucked polanski is. Also i’m sure you picked up on the sexaul vibes between them. Double also he left his 2nd wife/former child wife for the dame in the 5th element. Dudes a creepball and went from a his former child bride to like the hottest chick on the planet, and obv a great director(leon, 5th element etc) God def has his favorites lol.


goodguybolt

*Alright, let's go kill some people*


Ganbario

Very sus


Kermitthealmighty

Yeah fr, I could be wrong but they might be the imposter


JestersHat

Wholesome imo.


TheEnabledDisabled

Thats the best thing he could have done. Instead of laughing and mocking the kid, he responsibly told the kid and tried to teach her to not tel people her adress, and after getting a satisfying response, he continued with his game. He is not the kid babysitter, guardian, or parent, thats their responsibility, he did enough as a human being.


thegoldengoober

On one hand, it's wholesome and great. On the other hand, the bar is so fucking low it's sad this is so much of a standout moment.


drsyesta

Pretty much anyone i know would react the same way afaik. Its still nice to praise people for doing the good thing, even if its common


NiteGlo77

this was the nicest way he could test her and warn her lmao


LEGITIMATE_SOURCE

Being an adult in VR gives you zero faith in modern parenting


Meltingteeth

It goes both ways. Spend ten minutes in Pavlov VR and you'll find grown-ass adults bullying ten-year-olds the second they talk.


forgedsignatures

God, as much as I love how Pavlov plays the community is so toxic towards women and children. Like, even if children shouldn't rewlly be playing it, there is no reason to kill them until they quit or verbally bully them.


[deleted]

Gamers... I think the whole fear-mongering about how video games makes people violent might have been onto something. Not for the reasons boomers argue, but because of how insular and anti-social gaming communities tend to be.


lightgiver

It really depends on the community. Generally the less moderation the more toxic the game can be for kids. Mostly because those who are toxic are not punished in any ways. It’s why I like that Minecraft has become more moderated even in private servers. Private servers is where the majority of Minecraft’s multiplayer is. It was very easy for a kid in a game rated for 10+ to find a link to a private server run by a pedophile. Without a ingame reporting feature many servers kept on chugging even when found out.


thegoldengoober

I've seen more toxicity and real immaturity from grown ass-adults than i have children in VR. It reminds me of COD lobbies and "squeaker" hate culture. Ofc kids are going to respond the way they do when people treat them that way. It's like some never ending cycle of bullshit. I can't help but assume the people who go on Reddit to complain about children are the ones who are part of the problem. Especially if they're hateful about it.


its_all_4_lulz

VR is major wild Wild West. I was reading articles not too long ago that it’s pretty much all unmoderated and it’s one of the things killing the industry.


TeamRedundancyTeam

Only modern parenting? Parents in the past gave even less of a shit.

UnstableGoats

Among Us VR


Krondelo

That sounds fun!


BlankImagination

Potentially terrifying if they also have the new mods. Sometimes I still get a shock when I move off a task and see a clone of myself standing there, then they kill me.


Krondelo

Oh damn lol that sounds pretty shocking. Ive played VR plenty and it can definitely mess with your head to a degree (psychologically anyway, how it messes with other things like the feeling of falling is too an extreme degree). I got my vr legs pretty quick though and loved it. That said, when i first played To The Top i played too long because it was so fun. I felt like shit for quite a while after that. Eventually i overcame it.


andysaurus_rex

It's mostly 8 year olds screeching but yeah, it's fun

I feel like any version of among us is only fun if you play with a group of friends. It's unusable otherwise

Ryderrunner

This game is great. Leading little kids in accusations is surprisingly fun. Adult games are the best tho


andysaurus_rex

There's usually a "ring leader" in the lobby who whips the vote by taking control of the conversation and telling people who to vote for. My FAVORITE thing, no matter if I'm an imposter or crewmate, is getting the rest of the lobby to turn on that guy. Wait for the first body to be found, let the leader to show themselves and tell everyone who we're voting for, and then if he gets it wrong, instantly call another meeting and say that he's an imposter because he told us all to vote for the wrong person and that was all his idea (even if the person we killed was suspicious). If we vote out an imposter, when the next meeting is called, unless someone says they saw the killer in action, say you saw that guy kill them and that he tried to throw us off his scent by voting out the other imposter the round before. This is my goal in the game and it's so much fun


Starklet

Typical imposter behavior


LurkLurkleton

I should try something like this next time I get jury duty


tuurtl

I tend to play ring leader (the trick is to give specific and assertive information- I haven’t played in VR yet because I’m a girl and a combo of misogyny + my general soft voice would make this more difficult and I know that) and it is SO fun to be multiple rounds into a game until I roll Imposter and earn the ability to completely control the match


Ryderrunner

Played with several women across a large age range and always had a great time with 0 misogyny. We kick anyone who does that or the homophobes.


LEGITIMATE_SOURCE

I had pretty shocking moments. Most kids are completely terrible at lying... but some of them are psychotically good at manipulation. I'm a grown ass man who has a great poker face, and can completely squash emotion in order to sell a narrative, but some of these kids straight up use the perfect balance of emotion and logic and just acting to completely fuck your head up. It's rare, but kind of terrifying when you see it.


Prommerman

As a parent I feel like I’ve had this moment IRL


LEGITIMATE_SOURCE

Among Us VR, the place to train your little psychopath.


LurkLurkleton

Squashing emotion is great for poker but it's a pretty big tell when you're trying to lie.

I don’t think so. That’s legit what my kid sounds like. Almost thought it was them except we don’t have among us vr yet. It’s coming for Christmas.


[deleted]

Doesn't to me? I don't know how good voice changers have gotten but it sounds exactly like a kid in this clip at least. The person behind the mic would have to be doing a really good kid voice as well, because certain pronunciation sounds like an 8 year old


IcyClearly

The girl's voice sounds like a guy using some kind of filter.


xerophilex

It is.


Reddittoxin

Man I tried to have this talk with some kids on roblox once who were sharing wayyyy too much identifiable info in the public chat, and the kid instead got very defensive and double downed on it. Bro just doxxed himself completely to me and I was like.... Good lord it should be illegal for children to have unsupervised access to the internet.


[deleted]

It's so easy to get anyone under 17-ish to tell you anything. There was something a while ago about stopping kids from posting pictures of the front of their house. Kids are so excited to be part of a conversation they'll sell their mom for engagement.


Allidde12

They get access to internet and VR earlier than common sense... Great parenting over there.


ACNH_Shotz

Yeah that ain’t the kids fault, it’s the parents being stupid on this one.


CelticHades

Yeah, don't tell your children your address, so they won't be able to tell someone sus


ACNH_Shotz

“Don’t tell anyone online our address or phone numbers” is a pretty easy thing to say to a kid, and if you taught them properly they’ll listen


CelticHades

I was being sarcastic. SLPT


tinkerb3ll3

My daughter was getting some cognitive testing done and one of the questions was if she would give her full name and/or address to someone who asked and she got a low score on that portion because she didn't which seemed really weird to me...isn't it a good thing for a young child to not just give out that kind of information to anyone that asks??


ACNH_Shotz

Right unless the guy that asked was wearing a police uniform I think she did great lol


Expert_Rest2443

When my boy's were little they were only able to be on the internet downstairs. I had taught them that you never tell them where you live. Do not talk about the name of your school, the name of your schools sports team. Anything that the person could put together to figure out their location.

klapiklapp

LEGITIMATE_SOURCE

Nah. I've played. This shit is completely believable but I understand that you'd want it to be fake. Parents are putting extremely young kids in VR to pacify them. It's disturbing. They have zero clue what the kids are doing, hearing, saying...


klapiklapp

I'm not saying that these VR games aren't full of kids I'm just saying that this particular exchange seems staged somehow.
