>its just the same generic wolfboy egirl eboy shit
People use avatars they like looking at. To you, it's a cringeworthy glowing generic wolfboy. To them, it's a hip, manly, sexy, cool and expressive girl-magnet.

>I feel like most people generally already know what hand gestures do what facial expressions.
People change avatars fairly often, and they not always use the same gesture slots for the same expressions, so the same hand gesture might do a different thing - especially if it's someone else's avatar or you swapped some gestures around.
Also, for headsets with finger tracking, you actually have to do the gesture IRL, and it might get detected wrong, which you might be unaware of when not seeing your face.

>spend atleast $1000 to just sit infront of a mirror all day and get upset when someone calls you dumb for it 
If I had been active in FBT for 4-12 hours and then took a break, and someone joined just then and saw me sitting in front of a mirror, assuming I've been doing that all day, I might be upset, too. In most cases of seeing someone, you don't know what they've been up to all day in VR and IRL. (And if you did, it'd be kinda creepy.) Some people do physical work - standing, lifting and moving things for 8 hours, and then just want to go home and be comfortable.
Note that I'm never playing while sitting or laying down, but I can see why someone might be.
