It's funny you should mention women switching to male avatars to avoid rape, because when I played online games I would pretend to be a dude because I would get treated better.
Theres more to sexism then rape, is what I'm saying. Men that use female avatars in VR chat get to avoid the worst parts of sexism because everyone assumes they're male until proven otherwise "there are no women on the internet, tits or GTFO" is how the old saying goes, isn't it?
I dunno dude I think we're talking about two different things. Can attraction to anime girls be called benevolent sexism if no one looks like an anime girl in real life?
Wouldn't that be like saying furries get benevolent sexism too because they're also cute?
No one looks like Jenna Jameson irl either but people react to her body in a sexual manner regardless. You are far off into the weeds if you are going to ignore the unreality of VR and the utility of large expressive, clear eyes and skin and how people will more easily interact with fictitious nonthreatening figures with exaggerated markers of health and beauty more readily than with an uncanny valley monstrosity.
And yes, people will want to fuck the cute bunny cop and are thus more likely to interact with her avatar than with a mangy, three-legged dog avatar. The lack of diseased and disabled avatars is disgustingingly ableist is it not?
If the cishet gender-switchers were all chomos then they'd sport 3000 year old dragon loli avatars, so I don't think neoteny is the primary function here. More likely large eyes serve a utility function being highly expressive. But the shape is also an indicator of health, they don't have bug-eyed, hairy, bloodshot, cataract clouded eyes for good reason.
It’s not that people like to interact with beautiful/cute people. It’s that men like to interact with beautiful/cute women.
There's really no need to genderize this behavior. People of both genders are more likely to ignore a wheelchair bound leper avatar in favor of interacting with an anime cat girl, gay/hetero/cis or not.
