"When I’ve struggled to put on a headset over a high bun of braids, I temporarily take down the braids. I’m in no position to do or ask that of another woman even if she is a participant in my study. I personally know how time-consuming it can be to get braids or head wraps tied (and what lies beneath a headscarf may be extra personal). Further, a good number of participants didn’t just have big hair, they had hijabs as well, and these, more than any other updo, cannot be removed."
Quite frankly this seems like a non issue. I wear glasses and 3d glasses always are a pain to use but I don't insinuate discrimination. Was the Oculus Go also not designed for Sikhs? The comment about hijabs is ludicrous. The people who want to control their insular culture but also want to be victims in mass culture are infuriating.
- mattnewton 6y agoIt’s one thing if they are complaining that the equipment is not designed for headgear, but I think it’s another thing to say that people want to be victims for not spending time and money to chemically alter their natural hair to be like the majority race’s hair.

- patothon 6y agoif you had read the article you would have realized at no point she's blaming oculus for not designing for african women hair or hijab wearers. She didn't say she felt specifically excluded. She even concludes by something positive about getting designers to think differently. What is your agenda?
