I saw someone use the term "proxchat" to refer to this genre, which I've also started using.
I don't think '-slop' is a fair descriptor, nor do I care for a 'bro-' convention.
Anyways, interesting read for dev perspective on this.

I also asked these teams about that term itself. What do they think of "friendslop"? Here's what they told me.

"Friendslop" Sounds Like An Insult. What Do Developers Think?
GameSpot spoke to several studios working in the friendslop world, and they almost uniformly said they've adopted the term, though not always without qualms.

While VRChat keeps being puritanical, troll YouTubers like Proxchat actively seek out niche communities and their worlds causing them to get mass reported and harassed.
These trolls have made hunting weirdos a blood sport and VRC is happy to turn their backs on them.
These trolls have made hunting weirdos a blood sport and VRC is happy to turn their backs on them.
VRChat has been removing any and all content that contains the word "vore" for the past month. And now they've graduated onto banning worlds that so much as have a detailed maw.

I prefer 'friendcore' mostly for linguistic reasons: if you're a native speaker of Portuguese or French, 'proxchat' looks very close to the legal word used for 'pimp' (proxeneta/proxénète)

I saw someone propose "friendcore" which I like. "proxchat" is not bad, but maybe a little too specific? While not part of this wave, I feel like I'd put Among Us in the same bucket of games as Peak, REPO or Big Walk but it doesn't use prox chat.
