Any online "metaverse" where users cannot be their fursona is doomed to fail. If I wanted to be a human, I'd just stay in the meatspace. The digital realm has infinite opportunities, so what kind of person would spend their life as a mii, but creepier?
- anthk 5y agoFursonas date back to MUD times. It would be a silly mov.
- wyclif 5y agoWhy is this story flagged?
- wcoenen 5y agoThe video showed a couple different styles of avatar, including one that was a robot. I don't see why "furry" wouldn't be an option.
- rhn_mk1 5y agoI think the concept of a fursona extends to more than the style of the avatar. It can go as far as a unique personality.
- VRay 5y agoI'm not a furry, but I definitely appreciate the ability to be anonymous online.
- lapetitejort 5y agoRegardless of how pseudonymous facebook allows a person to be on various 'verses, they're still linked back to a facebook-mandated real name account. If a person's persona edges too close towards stockholder's disapproval, your name suddenly disappears from a large chunk of the online world. Anonymous accounts must exist forever.
- wcoenen 5y agoIf you mean "unique personality" as in separate from your social media account, that was also announced in the video. Apparently users will be able to create Meta accounts that are not linked to a Facebook profile. They'll start with introducing work accounts and it will be generalized from there.
