Thanks for the answer. It's interesting that it could just be a me thing. I'm not terribly picky about my appearance IRL, but in VR having an avatar I can identify with suddenly becomes very important.

Not sure how you managed to get past the avatar creation if you’re using a Quest

I made a head-avatar years ago when they were first released (probably the 2019-era ones in your link). I don't like it, but it doesn't invoke as much of a reaction in me as the upper-body/full-body avatars I've seen in Horizon ads/videos.

TBH I don't use my Quest 1 much, and when I do it's only for PC Link. It's possible it's got an update pending that will force new social features next time I start it up.

Do cis people also get dysphoria from those avatars?

I (enby) get such a visceral "no fucking way I'd ever want to look like that" involuntary reaction to all of the Horizon avatars. If they forced me to make an avatar or started showing avatars in the Home menu I'd abandon my Quest completely. Wondering if it's just a gender dysphoria thing, or if they are that repulsive for everyone.

I can't wait for passwords to be replaced with a cryptographic solution. Even with a password manager, login forms are an unnecessary waste of time.
