>you're still in a social setting in front of people, so in effect, nothing fundamental has changed

You're in a social setting in front of people right now, here on an imageboard. Nothing has fundamentally changed, but plenty of practical things have changed and those are different in vr social settings too. If you do something i don't like, i can't do anything about it, I can't even make the threat. You think it's the text or whatever that makes socializing less anxious but that's because it's the only virtual communication you know. 

It's pic related if you're anxious just take off the headset
