Alt title: Seriously though, why is everyone so cute on this programLike my content? Want to talk about the video at length? Join my Discord: https://discord...
I think that "digital expression" is its own thing. I've never had the urge to crossdress irl, but I always play girls in MMOs, and I know a lot of other guys like that (it's the plurality in FF14, with over half of the players playing as catgirls). I dunno if there's any research into this though it's just the vibe I get.
Worth mentioning that the video makes a distinction about this. There's a very real and noted difference between how people conceive of characters in traditional games vs avatars in VR, especially in VR setups with enough presence
No doubt every setup in existence doesn't even live up to the immersiveness of Vr.5. Does VR chat force a first person perspective? And is that enough or not even necessary to be "enough presence"? What level of setup broke the barrier for you?

I've never done vr (games or chat). Explain this "presence" to me?
Basically, the degree to which VR is able to make you feel like you're genuinely in a different reality.

Hell if I know, I've only done VR once and that was just to try Beatsaber lol
I haven't gotten a chance to watch it yet, but it does sound interesting.
