There's no point in arguing over whether Second Life or VRC is 'better' - what they offer is ultimately very different and unfortunately for the Second Life folks, they don't know what VR actually is. I originally bought VR because I wanted to use my hands to pet cute anime girls. That was obviously a radically ignorant perspective. 

I think of Second Life like people who hang out in MMOs, like FFXIV. You're happy to 'play' a game where you have a character on the screen that you roleplay as. I am not a roleplayer. I've never been into 'games' where I'm just an avatar hanging out with other people. In VRChat, you ARE the avatar. You are there in person.

There's absolutely going to be crossover for people who ARE into the whole roleplay social thing, but for them it's ultimately about how much they care about being in the game themselves vs watching a character on a screen, and whether they want to be a realistic TDA (Second Life) or a cute anime girl (VRC). They prefer SL, we prefer VRC. They are fundamentally different experiences.
