I very much doubt this point. My reference is political comments on Facebook: these beautiful people, who otherwise do pay taxes, have kids and maybe even a picket fence, can spew hate and nonsense like there's no tomorrow, and they do so with their face attached. So while VRChat might not be a statistical representative for the population of the particular things you can encounter there, it really is just human nature and if everyone would be there, you'd see a similar level of unacceptable behavior, just maybe a different of that.

What I think happens in places like this is similar to what happens in the crypto world. Money and financial situations can be abused hard, and it has been for a long time, so we have a good amount of rules, laws, international agreements and so on regarding it. Then crypto came, it kinda resembled money, and had none of these restrictions. So every trick is new again: market manipulations, all the different kind of frauds, all unprotected from the existing legal framework that we have for regular money. I think online communications enjoy a similar situation, or at least it did, for quite some time.
