This is a problem woman in particular have always had, avatars or not. There's a standard society holds us to so we are constantly feeling less than. Advertising, model trends, female politicians judged on what they wear over their capability in the job, woman being told they asked for it because their dress is to short, older woman being invisible because they aren't as fuckable as young pretty woman. AI is a mere tool that is used because that's the world we live in. This has needed fixing way before AI came along.
This is deeper than that now though. Women used to complain about unreal body expectations from the media, but at least those people in the photos existed. Now, the competition is with AI generated people, which influences preferences even further and then, the sweetest strawberry tastes bitter.
We are entering into a time in our evolution where we are physically not enough to keep up with our own technology.
We are the dumbasses that created it. We are the ones that have to resist it.
Exactly.
