Well I actually don't believe VR will dehumanize people as after the event I ended up exploring alt vr and realized there are a lot of people that seem to use that platform for social interaction.
I think the new wave of people into that space may be effected if those individuals use it as escapism vs just for the game itself or socialization purposes. Well for example irl I wear suits on rare occassions, but in terms of VR I'll where it just cause it looks cool and "society" seems to take seriously those that are "professionally" dressed in terms of demeanor and as a symbolism of I mean business lol every other attribute was randomly picked.
Yeah that is why I don't really care what the "influential majority" thinks, but more so just align myself with the people and communities in which share my values and beliefs.
Yes, exactly, what I meant. I guess I had put it in a too generalized way. But I meant exactly what you mention - escapism as a form of rejecting one's real being because it has been rejected by others. But in a big portion of the society today people's self-perception depends on other peoples' or opinion.
You are right, hehe there are many people who dress "for the role" :) or accept being dressed for the role by those whom they have delegated the authority.. and it's in the "real life" :)
And yes, finding one's tribe based on the affinity of one's authentic being erases the need to escape from "who you are".
Enjoyed chatting with you,
I'll see you soon.
