The metaverse has a groping problem already ... A woman was sexually harassed on Meta’s VR social media platform. She’s not the first—and won’t be the last.

The only “digital rape” I can think of is what Joe Biden did to Tara Reade.

Wait till they try to prosecute him for imaginary crimes in imaginary world. I can’t wait for the defense to ask why he can imaginary kill people in imaginary world, but he can’t imagine squeezing an imaginary titty.

How can you be sexually harassed on VR?

How can they sexually assault you?

Don’t like the people then BLOCK them.

Who hasn’t done their share of virtual groping?

Damn, I’ve been missing out. All the young VR cuties are welcome to virtually grope this 70 year old stud. I promise I won’t complain.

Sorry buddy, that’s not true. The Metaverse is to the internet what the internet was to the world before the internet. It is the next big thing.

“...teaches them how to launch Safe Zone.”

Can I set up a counter “Groping Welcome / Unsafe Zone”?

They'd really like to prosecute Virtual Me. I think a lot bigger than grabbing some T&A...I plan to virtually obliterate Planet Earth. Let's see them arrest me for that! Come and get me, coppers!

Unless you’re wearing a haptic suit, this is just plain stupid.

Does the 2nd Amendment exist in the metaverse?

If someone virtually gropes you, you should have the right to virtually blast them with a proton laser or an 88mm anti-tank gun

Guess those brainiacs never heard of “Second Life” and their sex problems. Anytime you start something like this, people are going to go to with their baser instincts every damn time. It would be nice if our new masters remembered this since they played a huge role in creating it.

This is instantly addictive. As soon as the telesexual devices are released say good by to generations of people lost to this VR wonderland. Anything you want will be yours.

I did some work using 3D scanners to create orthotics and custom splints. As the tech evolved we used a bank of cameras and the 3D models could be made from digital photography. The guys behind (Europeans) it are geniuses who developed it for the medical field. When the pornographers approached them and showered them with money off they went and they started a VR porn playground. I can send you a write up but the link is definitely not safe for work (nudity). So imagine that for a young man. Put on your metaverse cap..and pants.. and off to the races. Instantly hooked.
