I understand when everyone else does it, but please remember that Oculus only has one letter C.

I am curious how would the presence of ever-beautiful, ever-fit, avatars impact self esteem, the desirability factor, the increasing preferences for the virtual over the real, etc.
And impacts on the interactions between people when they can be as tall, buff, thin, as they wish, or chose gender, race, species or even method of representation (for example, cartoon-ish vs. fully 3D) of the avatar representing themselves or others in cyberspace. And the effects of fully immersive 'porn' interacting with humans, with pre-programmed empty shell type of avatars, or with fully interactive artificial intelligence.
Will people feel empowered by the new technologies, or threatened with the changes in the established status?

what the frack this is no V-world and they are no Daniel or Zoe Greystones.

Probably not at all with the graphical capabilities of this virtual world; it makes Second Life look really cutting edge.

But at the same time; in terms of body image, while some people may get fixated by it, in Second Life there are plenty of people who just want to explore being entirely different things, be it animal, robot, space pirate etc. etc.

If you really crank the settings in SL and have modern built mesh stuff, it can look very good. VWW/RLC is just... old.
