Some people just love looking at themselves.
You're joking, but there are lots of people in VRChat that love spending a lot of time looking at their own avatar in front of in-game mirrors.
Man, I hate looking at myself in mirrors or even hearing myself in recordings. I just don't understand people who actually like it.
I mean, in VR you're really just checking how well you did your avatar. There's a sense of accomplishment in doing something that looks like you with a very limited set of tools. Haven't tried it in VR, but I know the exact feeling from The Sims series.
Bingo 👆
Well it's not like they're looking at their actual faces, they're looking at an in-game avatar that's often highly sexualized or otherwise very pretty
I was assuming they're making the character look like themselves. It's totally understandable if you're RPing and seeing how your character looks in some getup.
