VRChat Users that use the Spyware Gonso also known as "GonsoLiscenser"
-
@blackviperxvi Adults projecting on people playing a free online game lmao. It's all a stupid cash grab. I am at least glad to see people like Confusey and Zoxl have stopped using gonso, realizing the shit doesn't work as well as they had hoped.
@shwimp
That's respectable. I'm glad they stopped at least. sorry for my harsh wording, I'm tired and also been dealing with this stuff for a week straight, lol. offtopic the shromp vtuber is cute as hecc
I guess the best way to beat this is, genuinely, spreading the word of what gonso is. Word spreads fast, information is power, and at the end of the day word of mouth is probably stronger than any work around or report to sites like payhip.
-
I'm pretty sure these creators are also paying a hefty amount for gonso to even be put on it in the first place? Like 50 pounds, which is 55-65 in USD I think.
That'd make 2 protected avatars over 100 USD.
@shwimp that's INSANE. that's a month of groceries for some people, geez. It shouldn't be legal to pay people to access spyware software to monitor customers. How do they even make a profit like that??? sheesh. doing all this research I've seen creators putting it on every single one of their avatars.
they could be using that money for better things... like buying magic the gathering cards. or spinning on anime gatcha games! lol

@blackviperxvi No worries, I didn't find it harsh .w.
It's respectable to be pissed over this kind of thing. I mean it's lying to people who enjoy your work, and that's just evil!
But yes, the most we can do is spread the word, and hopefully prove to these shitheads that their little hope system isn't all that great.🐾

I'd hate to make people upset just cus I'm in a grumpy mood. I'm just very passionate about this. I wasn't even made aware of gonso until a couple days ago in the comments of that huge post on the vrchat subreddit about information farming. I saw gonso over and over in the comments, looked it up and was horrified the more I looked into it.
It upsets me so much because they sell it like an innocent anti leak system, which is completely disingenuous, and people who don't know and get excited for an avatar enough to drop $50usd on something will not know they're downloading spyware that will be monitoring them and harming them. it punishes the wrong people. it punishes everyone who's ever supported them and that pisses me off a lot.
There is no vrchat creator on the entire platform that makes anything worth stealing IPs.
I have some hope if information, about WHAT gonso is, is spread then it'll completely change the situation. I don't think it'll take much before their trust in these vrchat creators is completely destroyed, and unfortunately it has to be. People need to know. I've made a point to tell absolutely everyone I know associated and not associated with VRChat what gonso is and what's happening and every single time it was met with absolute horror and absolute understanding of the gravity of the situation. The one problem is that creators will gaslight people to hell and back and will likely double down on the "these people are just leakers! its just anti leaking! only leakers have a problem with it!" to distract from the massive cybersecurity scandal they've caused. which im expecting to happen 100%.

@blackviperxvi Atp the creators are becoming worse than the leakers lmao
@shwimp I agree 100%. We all kinda know they leak and lurk here too. They're just here on secret accounts.
If they can't copyright and put the avatar into a video game on steam, the content isn't theirs to begin with.

@blackviperxvi THIS. and considering for example strawbunnys actions shes already weird enough as is, her stalking this page on secret accounts isnt the worst thing

@scenerae If she's stalking this page, that's crazy. But all I have to say is, be a shitty person, get called out for it, cry about it.
That's good she's at least gonna stop using the gonso spyware cus that's rediculous. If they're gonna whine and cry about people editing the fbx then they can just upload it to the vrchat avatar store instead of being malicious criminals.

@blackviperxvi and even then, most of us arent malicious criminals, we do it because we dont have the funds for it

@scenerae Taking a compilation of mishmashed assets from other creators (kitbashing) and putting spyware on peoples computers arent comparable. One is massively worse than the other in my opinion. Kitbashers only make income because of OTHER people's work. I know of plenty of creators that will come here to get assets, download it, and then resell their asset complilation for profit.
One's a minor inconvenience to people, the other is a felony that could land jailtime since spyware is super illegal and causes a HUGE cybersecurity risk since these creators also abuse the information they're illegally farming through the spyware.

typo my bad, i meant to put arent

Will gladly rip any gonso avatars, just set to public and post link here or DM me and I'll post it here.
after all, it's just a bunch of kitbashed stolen dogshit in the end, and if the creators buy commercial assets they are even stupider than I'd thoughtripperoni & meatballs

@thebigbaddawg we need some1 to do this for strawbunnys avatars (im not understanding its 1 am)
@scenerae just requires someone with the avatar to send link & set it to public for a bit so i can rip the vrca. I do think gonso obfuscates everything pretty heavily though so may be a lost cause and remaking the avatars would probably be rather annoying, idk, but could still get the fbx that way probably

@gnarpyy Crazy they're lying about it. all it takes is a google search and its right there. wild.
-
literally wiped his github repository. wow. "buh i dun have a github"
-
@gnarpyy sorry if I double replied to you I'm insanely tired but wanted to reply. Yeah, that doesn't scream suspicious that people are looking into this and suddenly he wipes the evidence and gaslights.
I hope other people realize how suspicious that is. It's been there for all to see for a while but the moment people start investigating he deletes it and says it never existed? suspicious.
It's a shame, I should have archived it while I had the chance. this really sucks. I'm hoping and praying someone else did.
