Facebook is exclusionary when it comes to avatar culture, and even in their own virtual social networking services, avatars that reflect appearance, gender, and race are used. It seems that they are following the same direction as their political correctness policies, emphasizing the importance of “attributes” and respecting them.
In Japanese avatar culture, there is a tendency to value the “essence” that stands out by hiding the “attributes.” It is a sense of justice that “attributes should be valued and protected.” I think it’s quite tricky because it has a certain level of legitimacy.
In Western political correctness, it feels like they prioritize “attributes” to the point of disregarding the “individual,” and the sense of “mutual understanding based on the essential aspects of being human” is also quite thin.
