It's still weird to me to see VR platforms marketed as niche gaming platforms or productivity hardware, when like 95% of how I use it is for body positivity and so I can pet/be pet by friends.

@Goldkin I think the people market VR struggle to sell the platform to wider audiences.
Just saying "Be a dragon!" is not that popular.

@Ravtrag Tbh, I feel bad for folks for whom "be a creature" isn't even slightly enticing.

Because the funny thing is, getting someone into VRChat and any headset for like 5 minutes is a life-changing thing, even outside of our circles. I just wish that were easier to communicate without experiencing it.

@Ravtrag Funny thing is, Facebook of all companies almost communicate this in their current marketing blitz of someone putting on a headset and being transported into a roleplay setting.

It's just that so many ads oversell that kind of experience, they have trouble communicating that's what it's actually like.
