VR world would be perfect when you consider how much of the population attempts to manipulate physical reality, as it is - whether it's through plastic surgery to get rid of that cards-you-were-dealt look; over-stretching to afford a leased luxury vehicle; displaying luxury branded garments that are often equivalent quality to lesser brands; flossing at the nightclubs with generous drink orders for surrounding felines and big tips to big mammoried waitresses; consuming substances that make them happier, make an ordinary night exciting, or give more confidence.  I've always considered drugs like special k, m&amp;m's, and so on, as the poor man's vacation - even if it's just to tie ya over till the real thing is in reach or just pull your brain out of chronic despair.  When you think about it,  beauty filters are just the poor person's plastic surgery.  From my research, most straight males above 25 don't use beauty filters (primarily, I think, cause it makes them look like a junior high school kid), but I'm sure many, many, many a girl is waiting for the chance to surgery-it-up for that real life beauty filtered look - filters just save taking a trip to the plastic surgeon for a consultation.
