On the contrary, the users describe it as either naturally occurring (they started behaving normally, then diverged over time) or experimenting with different modes of interaction/being. I don't think it has anything to do with imitating popular media. Second Life itself is a platform where the 'body' can be instantly transformed - a sort of fluidity that would naturally lend itself to experimentation with alternate personas.
