    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?

        Large eyes are a neotenous feature

        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.
