Why is imvu bad

The buxom female avatars in scanty clothing give me the willies, especially when I think that my year-old babysitter could be behind one of them.

Some kids may not be mature enough for the type of content sites like IMVU are offering. Blog Bark. How old do you have to be to play IMVU? We are pleased to announce that Bark will be taking over where we leave off. Which is sort of B. Not to mention, people act stuck up and, petty on this game.

Imagine making your room open to the public then booting people out of it because, they refuse to spend money for a gold label. It just follows the stereotypical chat game trobe where everyone is selective, alienated and, egotistical.

And, the game devs don't care. They too busy milking sad saps wallets. Here's a better alternative: Get off your computer and, talk to people IRL. Its cheap and FREE.

Parent of a 3 and 9-year-old Written by The kitchen queen June 14, Adult Written by Flowers gybhbhbhb January 1, READ If you are thinking about letting your child on this game think again! Imvu is a very innopropiate game aimed at teenagers which includes innopropiate dance moves such as - Twerking and also sex poses. There is a place you can shop on imvu which has a lot of stuff mainly casual stuff but also includes stuff like bikinis and lingeries which is not suitable.

The chat rooms are mainly make out or love chat rooms which has sex poses. Which is true even though I was on it for making my avatar pretty. Adult Written by DarkDreamer February 2, If you are a immature kid then you should not go on the site. It states right off the bat its a older site. So you can expect pervs to be on it. Though, it is only unsafe if you give your personal info to those who ask for it. That and you are too computer naive. I am on it a lot and I've been on it for 3 years.

You worry about sexuality read the rules on the rooms look for no touchy ones and you should have no trouble. You need to pay for ap to unlock the fully nudity things. Get over it kids. Its not suggested to you anyway. However if you are a mature kid you shouldn't have any trouble. Try finding anything that interacts with other people on the net that doesn't have some danger involved only if you let it.

You won't find a perfect massive persons client. I find that IMVU is fine for anyone as long as they know 1 what their getting into and 2 how to deal with it without being whinny or naive. Parent Written by Iamgrateful September 6, I tried to block it many way and she could still access it. I regret not being more wary. David located in India informed me daughters computer had been hacked, told me it was a very serious situation but that he could help.

This sounded very sketchy and I asked to speak to the manager who later after much difficult back and forth he admitted he was also the owner.

They kept saying that everything was very confidential and eventually hung up. I am very concerned about their integrity especially after telling me they were the only liaison to what would solve my problem and not the Apple store etc. Adult Written by ORose March 1, What a joke Not for Any Age Ok let get to the point here, what i been reading is Addicts and Family who do not know what IMVU is and leting there kids play, i tell you a story here, i been doing some chat i been on Imvu for some time i was talking to a women who leting her 11 year old On imvu and talk freely to any one she want but yet she get upset when someone is so unhappy they wanted to die clameing they are wrong, but yet she have her kid age set to 21, one more story of how so many of the so called Rp there run by PPl who do not work and put most of there cash in to the room outfit and so on, Imvu is full of addicts who do not know what is real and what is not Imvu need to be put down or atless have a time set on there so you not behide playing or tapeing all day You will read a post or two of some kid clameing how bad it is or how good it is take a look at there age Imvu do not want Ppl under 13 on there site but kids still do.

Adult Written by Mikanojo June 22, IMVU promotes itself to 3rd party vendors and potential investors as being a family-friendly site, open to children as young as The reality is that while it caters to young people with fun games and 3D dress up, chat and groups, at the same time IMVU is also catering to BDSM slavery, bestiality yiffing is the slang term , sexual age-play involving children and adults, and some adults who pretend to be children, involved in sexual content and themes.

IMVU has incredibly ineffective separations between children and abusive sexual themes and content. IMVU does not actively monitor its own site for content, instead it relies on the users to report on each other, at which point those reports go on a to-do list for their customer service that is currently outsourced to Manila, where people interpret or misinterpret the vague rules of IMVU in an unequal manner. X rated inappropriate products are a constant problem, appearing in the adult and children's catalog.

The slavery BDSM content has actually been endorsed by IMVU in bundled products they sell - there may well be slave owners among the staff for such emotionally and psychologically abusive bondage, domination, sadism and masochism to be so prolific in IMVU. In plain words, IMVU entices children to use their site and then at the same time also attracts, harbors and supplies online sexual deviant predators with access to BDSM content. IMVU is a child molester's dream come true. A virtual community with an over-sized red light district that has no police, and judges who are under-trained..

Parent Written by mylalovesminecraft September 21, This was actually my first time playing IMVU however because I kind of like the makeups and all of that "skins" looking or whatever.

But there's so much toxic people on here that I just can't tolerated. You may say that this app has sex, too much swearing, drinking and smoking, and poses.

You can't wear whatever you want because many people will judge it if you wear something crazy, ugly, and more. It's just making sad and I feel unsafe now. I've always experience this in the past also. So, if your a adult or teen playing this game be cautious around people because they are toxic and most likely you will be unsafe by using this app. You should not do that either but it's your choice.

I have now stopped playing IMVU and moved on with my thing. I just don't wanna stay in there with people threating me and bullying me. Just a huge disappointment and a huge turn-off for IMVU. Read my mind. Adult Written by simpsonsfan22 April 11, Dangerous Imvu is danger you don't know who you are talking to not safe it's very bad. You could be talking to a drug dealer rude person a murderer.

You might end up getting robbed drugged or Evan murdered. This site is extremely dangerous. Don't let your teenage children or Evan adult children sign up.

Drinking drugs and smoking: As Common sense media said, on the user home page. Off- 17 and Under Iffy- On- 22 and up. This is not safe at all! Keep it away from your computer. Kid, 11 years old February 17, Kid, 10 years old February 5, Teen, 15 years old Written by sweetg April 9, Teen, 14 years old Written by surfergirlie April 9, Imvu is a great site! LUV YA! Teen, 13 years old Written by Jaerei August 11, Good game, amazing styling This app has access to chat rooms where you can be exposed to talk about inappropriate subjects, I only use the app for syling character and the items are amazing and very realistic.

Kid, 11 years old July 29, I don't think it's for kids. I'm not giving it 1 star or anything since it's not a bad game for people who are mature enough to use it. The characters are a bit detailed and some of the clothes are inappropriate too.

Letting your child use imvu would not be a good idea. Their behaviour would completley change and its not the good kind of behaviour. There's a lot of swearing and a lot of innapropriate stuff that your child shouldn't be exposed to just yet.

There are a lot of cyber bullying too. I knew this game was not for children like me. Teen, 15 years old Written by Alexandroth Pro June 16, The avatars look so good and I like that I can pose them. I never ever go into chat rooms or do any chatting. I also physically covered my webcam so strangers would just end up with black screen. I think parents should decide based on their teens maturity for if they can play, as long as they never chat.

June 2, If your account gets on hold they want you to call them and be rude to you. They employees there are rude. My account was on hold for over a month now and when i called they kept askin for pictures of the card even tho i never used my card i only used surveys for credits. So I suggest if your gonna have anything to do with help be a vip membor so you can talk to someone on the spot rather than calling rude, impatient and ignorant.

I called 2 times and now their saying i have over 2 owners on the account i provided them with my information and its not good enough for them i suggest you all to not ever play this game. This title contains: Consumerism. May 11, The only problem with theory is that you can't control what people say or do, this app is for the most part a fine website but many of the people on it don't know how to show restraint, there are rooms safe from the unrestrained but the vast majority are not and thus, it is important to know the limits of what you or your child are willing to put up with, whether that is large amounts of implicitly sexual content, over use of unneeded words cursing or swearing.
