What would it take to qualify as a "significantly notable movement"?

predicts YES

@LukeHanks Basically, will the thesis posited in the linked article come true?

As in, will there be at least one person in your life who has this view?

Will there be at least one prominent news article about it?

Will others generally know what you're talking about when you refer to it?

Will it be seen as a philosophy that is trending in adoption/understanding/acceptance?

Will it become a talking point as part of the "culture wars"?

Etc.

Imagine reading an editorial in 2028 where it is argued that not wearing an AR headset is harmful to others, because you are not seeing them "as they wish to be seen", i.e. with their preferred digital overlay filter, which could be anything from appearing 2 inches taller, to 20% prettier, to wearing fashionable digital clothing, to being Kermit the frog. "How dare you gaze upon their base appearance?"

predicts NO

@cloudprism this is moving me towards yes. At least, revealing someone's true appearance might be considered unethical

predicts YES

@StrayClimb Right! It's almost like how we view our physical clothing today. However, this also implies that it would be frowned upon to not wear AR goggles, which would be pretty dystopian.
