Art 343// Virtual World Avatars Two Questions

If everyone is the epitome of beauty in a virtual word, the beauty that many so desire in the real world has become the norm, so when one sees an avatar of a normal average human are they the ones who are exceptionally beautiful?

If the virtual world allows us to step into the shoes of anything, why do we only focus on the fantasy? Why not walk a mile with your avatar as an old senior, or someone in a wheelchair? Why do we immediately think of "I want", rather than what we can explore in these new worlds?
