Name of the Page

VRChat shouln't be nessesarry in the title. I think a better title would be "Furry" Hackebein (talk) 08:48, 12 September 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There lot's of content in VRChat that contain the word "Furry" in it, or is adjacent. Chances are, "Community:Furry" would be a disambiguation page for furry content. This is the VRChat Wiki, and there's much to cover regarding furry culture in VRChat; the page is not yet complete, and there will be paragraphs relevant to the subject matter under the 'Furry and VRChat' heading once I (or someone else) gets to it. Please also take a look at Community:Anime culture in VRChat and Community:LGBT culture in VRChat. This will also be closely linked to Community:Culture.

Furality

Due to the conflict of interest policy I won't edit it myself, but:

Due to the conflict of interest policy I won't edit it myself, but:

During the pandemic, a brand new convention dubbed Furality Online Xperience (FOX) would be hosted natively in VRChat, without any previous in-person venues. Furality would eventually become a sponsored event by VRChat, Inc.

  • The official abbreviation of Furality Online Experience is "F.O.X." not "FOX". (Example official use - https://x.com/furality)
  • Furality would eventually become a sponsored event by VRChat, Inc.
    • I don't know if "sponsored" is the proper/correct word here - "partnered" or "promoted" perhaps?
    • "Furality" is not an event. "Furality", short for Furality, Inc., is an organization creating events such as F.O.X. (https://furality.org/about)

I have agreed with the decisions to change the acronym to F.O.X., because I now remember this was the case when I was creating the Furality page on Wikifur years ago.

I also also changed "sponsored" to "partnered", though I don't really seem to see the difference. I originally used 'sponsored' since VRChat is licensing Furality to temporarily use advanced API and server tools and statistics, as well as promote them during events. These words seem interchangeable to me.

Furality can refer to either the convention, or Furality, Inc. (the VRChat group says otherwise as "Furality"), and I am going to keep this verbiage, because venues like San-Rio Fest, or VKet are still sponsored/partnered events.

Let me know if you have any further concerns. DAG-XR (talk) 15:01, 24 September 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
