There has been a bit of drama in the social VR space as VRChat added Epic's easy anti-cheat to their client, effectively erasing the client modification community with one day of notice.
Metaverse has become kind of a tired word. I always thought of what we were doing in this space as a logical extension of cyberspace and the web. Because of that, I've always been weary of this exact trick. Capturing the early hobby products and sanitizing the community output for commercialization.
It is frustrating to see it. Creative and curious people being told that they are not welcome in the frontiers they helped push. I've talked a bit about NeosVR before, projects I've worked on there, etc. Before any of this went down I got a little worried about similar things going down for its creative community.
So I've done my best to really advocate for a community respecting direction. I'm pushing for eventual standardization and a fully open platform. And it's been really rewarding to see them taking steps to go in this direction. The replacement rendering engine we are working on, to remove the last vestiges of Unity from the engine, is going to be released under an MIT licence. We successfully campaigned for and got top freedom in public sessions.
There is a real dialog here, and I am proud of that.

queer take cont'd, transphobia
from the beginning my view on "born this way", "being gay isn't a choice" etc etc has been "wait, why do we only deserve rights if we didn't choose this? i fucking love what i am and if i COULD choose it again i totally would, so why does it even matter whether or not i did?"
it's a slightly more polished version of calling the pink haired they/thems transtrenders so the cis people think you're one of the good ones
