Assuming it's just one or a few vocal shitposters, you won't get a straight answer from the thread, because they can sit here for 16 hours a day to tell you that all of /vrg/ is mean.
Assuming everyone is evil, you won't get a straight answer from the thread either, because if everyone is evil, why would we tell you we're all evil.

The best course of action would be to just join the meetups and see and think for yourself.

If you choose to believe this anon, however, I'll tell you that /vrg/ is very welcoming to new people, so come and join, say that you are a newfag from the thread. People can empathize with someone getting his headset and joining the meetup for the first time, and it's always a delight to see new anons' enthusiasm!
