How does the avatar you wear influence how you treat people?

This question was designed to invite people to consider how we are perceived by the choices we embody, and how this might reflect through how we are treated and then reactively treat others.

  • ​As a costume persona, I generally pick a realistic to me human avatar, or something absurd if I am in a new space and don't know others, or to experiment with avatar models. Dressing "nicer" affects how others engage with me, and subsequently how our interactions progress.
  • I don’t think it does, should it?
  • I always treat people with kindness and respect regardless of the avatar I embody.
  • The avatar I wear does not affect how I treat people at all although it may affect the way people treat me.
  • No
  • My avatar is a feminine woman. I definitely feel it attracts unwanted behavior
  • Same as how I treat them IRL, kindness and respect.
  • I forget I’m wearing an avatar... and I don’t see people’s avatars, I see and hear the person behind them—is getting closer and closer to feeling like real world interaction. And at its core it is real human interaction! :)
  • I think I treat people the same either way, but I can definitely be more outgoing in a male or non-gendered avatar, because I get no rude/sexual comments.
  • I prefer to have my avatar be as close to my persona as possible. Therefore, I treat people in VR as I would in real life.
