My name is Detective Fawkes.
I have spent a small amount of time at the meetups from time to time for the past few weeks and I thought I'd give you guys a compact summary of my experience and what you can expect.
Common topics of discussion include people's avatars, upcoming events, recent trends in the thread, and gossiping about fellow anons.

For all of these topics minus the latter, there is nothing wrong about them, except that they would obviously be quite confusing and overwhelming for a newcomer to attempt to follow many of these discussions. I hypothesize that this is intentional to keep the defining cliquishness of /vrg/ intact. However, it does not take a detective like myself to see that the cliquishness has been off the rails for a long time now, even for a 4chan community. 
Behold:

For those of you who are interested in it, I have recorded footage of examples of instances of very unflattering gossiping and shittalking at these meetups directed at anons who probably think they have no bad blood with other /vrg/ers, however I can't really post the audio without being discovered and consequently restricted from the meetups for "drama-mongering" (I just want the truth to be available to the public.). I have considered trying to wedge an alt into the meetups to do the recording instead, however getting past the stonewall of Ryder has been a significant challenge, especially when I had been determined to be mute. Hopefully this won't give anything away about me but I was frankly thunderstruck when at one instance I heard an anon mention how mentally compromised another anon was, and less than 5 minutes later was complaining about how the thread is so hateful and shitty, as others nearby agreed of course. The hypocrisy is astounding. In case you are curious, I have noticed that the gossip comes mostly out of the mouths of the same people, and even more interestingly they for the most part all log off (and supposedly log on) at the same time.

More info soon.
