Examining Gender, Race and Body Image in a Virtual World







While there weren't many drastic changes after changing my avatar, I did notice that more people initiated conversations with me when my avatar was a woman. More people approached me as a woman than when I was a man and I felt as though people were a bit more outgoing. That said, when I initiated chat when I was in my male avatar, people were welcoming and very open to chatting.
