The Simulacrum of Digital Relationships

Just as real relationships become more and more artificial, virtual alternatives become more and more realistic. The image of a relationship is in the mind and the mind is eager to believe in comforting illusions:
Virtually edited characters creating a family-like environment and artificial worlds of pleasure and comfort, free of flaws and connections to the real world. VRchat showcases how little virtual reality needs to permanently alter social interaction.
Are we going to experience a huge cultural shift where most relationships become digital simulacra?

Plato's ideal forms, the true essence of things, their refined abstract truth and perfect beauty is imagined virtual reality. Now we can actualize it in software. An ideal sphere doesn't exist in the material world, but it can be constructed in digital form.
Fractals and higher-dimensions are being simulated easily. The age of abstract forms is just around the corner.
A flawed material being cannot compete with a perfect form, it can only hide its flaws and promote them as virtues.
