People should learn accountability, esp you young ones! I don't like the whole anonymous bull*rap .. it has bred toxic comments and posts all over the internet. Midnight keyboard warriors that think they can say anything without being held accountable for the lulz. Act like you would in real life, with decency and a shred of empathy. If you are going to act like a dic* then do so in real life too and see how fast you get punched in a bar.
You shape your identity since you are born, it's your choice, and if you have to change it online because you never liked the real you and suddenly you feel like you are owed the world... then that's your problem .. no everyone else's.
Wow ... Computer, end Rant .. and exit arch.

I'm transgender and have changed names. Seeing my deadname brings me pain. Seeing it repeated over and over with no actual reason why it cannot be changed is incredibly frustrating. The offhand "oh sorry, but it doesn't matter" response shows a lack of foresight in creation and a lack of diversity in its culture. The fact this has been brought up and not handled significantly reduces my opinion of Oculus as a company.

Drastically changing the name you go by is not something you do casually.

I don't mean to be insensitive, because these days we all have to be caring, sharing beings who understand everyone's problems.
However, being transgender isn't something that pops up and surprises you overnight. When you made your account with Oculus you surely had some inclination about your identity and probably had already thought about your alivename (is that a thing?).
I don't believe that any companies need to have a system in place that allows switching of names. The onus is on YOU to change your name officially/legally and then go about having your name "corrected" wherever you use it.
Please contact Oculus (through a support ticket) to see what they can do for you...........

Wow, it's....pretty clear you're straight and cisgender. Drastically changing the name you go by is not something you do casually. You have no idea the level of fear that comes into play in being a trans person in a religious family. I was closeted when I created the account (and not sure I was ever going to come out). No way on this planet I was going to out myself through my Oculus account. Also, lots of trans people only figure out their name after coming out. This kind of comment only comes from someone who has never changed their name before.
The term you're looking for is "name", "preferred name", or "real name".
Your last two statements directly contradict each other. You're right that it's my responsibility to have the name corrected where I use it. It's also the responsibility of companies to provide a reasonable way to do that. Oculus does not, and that is fully on them. I sold my Rift because I didn't like what Oculus was doing as a company, and this definitely contributed to that.
@DevClever1 If this can be done online instead of in the app, that would be preferred (I run Linux full-time now). I might try deleting my account instead though.
@cybereality Have y'all even bothered to create a bug ticket for this? It is a bug, plain and simple. A bug that contributed to me leaving Oculus and telling my friends that they don't care about trans people. That they should go to another company because then maybe they wouldn't be treated so dismissively as this.
