i was thinking today.. what happens when oculus starts supporting safe spaces and so do games that include some sort of snowflake sensitive pre-requisite. I would like to see male and female hands.. The hands look to soft and girly for me currently. I like the Robo Recall Hands...
Just my opinion.. A great big hairy hand with a kick ass skull ring =D

The Climb lets you choose male or female hands, and skin colour too.

I wouldn't mind some choice of hands for my Oculus avatar--the default hands are so small compared to my big manly meat hooks.

I will say I do have quite small 'girly' hands for a man so the oculus hands look perfect for me.

Now someone's gonna pass a law, you can only use the hands that correspond to the sex stated on your birth certificate...

Its more likely that until you enter your preference, people will not be able to assume your hand type and thus until that setting has been made, your touch wont work

I self identify as a dragon, and these hands not being reptilian causes me great suffering and offense.

(Is there a single VR title that puts inverse kinematic arms on the player? I can't think of any. Elite Dangerous has visible arms, but they don't move, just your hands do)

Ripcoil gives you a full inverse kinematic body, but the arm movement doesn't feel right--the elbows never move out independently of the hands of course, so often the arms don't correspond well to what you're doing IRL.

My wife says my hands are like magic. Dunno why ;)

A PC with lots of gadgets inside and a thing to see in 3D that you put on your head.
