Future technologies (such as AI for the creation of robot waifus and perovskite solar cells for the electricity) will enable everyone to become self-sustaining, so even full dive VR won't cause a capitalistic robot waifu dystopia.

A real life comparison to such a shit show is the gacha game medium, which often involves people spending money for a chance to acquire outfits for anime characters; this is a form of gambling that will become obsolete when AI is capable of editing all media.

Also, contrary to popular belief, not everyone who is infatuated with animated characters is lonely or depressed; a lot of people (such as myself) really do just like 2D and dislike 3D.

Best I can offer today is using your hand to rhytmically fap to Koikatsu along with the Anime girl through an Oculus Quest 2 connected to a PC with an RTX 3060.

Of course if you're rich then you can build up a better VR rig by buying a Varjo headset (3500$ plus 2000$ annual software subscription), a top spec PC (4000-5000$), an automatic masturbator with a bluetooth connection (200$), a thrust deepness detecting masturbator (200$), force feedback VR gloves (not really on sale but you can build your own with 100$ more or less). This will allow you to basically be jacked off by your PC automatically, or have your PC pick up your thrusts and translate them into the game, all the while being able to more or less feel with your hands.

The mainstream university experts still say at least 50-100 years to real AI.
