>>IRL you are there in person and people are usually more supportive and engaged because they can’t justify leaving you without saying goodbye or the social stigma of being an asshole
Ever been to a club, party, or full bar? Happens there all the time.

>VRchat people can act however the fuck they want because there is no stigma since it’s a internet persona you play as.
Unless you care about your Internet persona. People have multiple personae depending on their social sphere, which in turn depends on the group of people you interact with. 
IRL, you act differently when surrounded by friends than with co-workers, and you prioritize different aspects of your persona. With friends, you might not care much about being seen as the capable problem-solver and authority figure, you might even want to reveal your weaker side to them talk about it, while with co-workers you don't really care much about whether they think you are, for example, a compassionate person. 
Similarly, in VR, depending on what group you are interacting with, you want certain people to have certain impressions of your persona. You might not want the people you like to spend time with to think that you are a dick all the time and thusly not someone they want to spend time with. Or you actually might want that, as they might appreciate that as some sort of signal of a trait such as directness or truthfulness.

People in VRChat can't act however they want simply because people will judge one of their Internet personae instead of one of their IRL personae.

Even if people wouldn't have somewhat persistent Internet personae (e.g. if everyone was anonymous), people wouldn't act however they want, because all too often the violated ego interfers - something you can observe over and over on 4chan, and I'm not talking about this thread.
