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.

If her virtual self was armed, why didn’t she just virtually kill him? What a stupid woman!

Just remember that many “hot chick” avatars are actually guys.

The Metaverse is to the internet what the internet was to the world before the internet. It is the next big thing. That may be true. But I am 57 years old, have been a developer/database administrator for decades and consider myself fully technically literate...and I still don't get it.
The Metaverse can include me out. :)

We are busily constructing the Matrix and far too many think it is a good thing.

But it was done to her avatar and not to her, right? So how can it be sexual abuse? So stupid.
A hint to the girls: Stay out of the boys’ playground.

Too many people are losing themselves in the internet. This is going to be a really big problem in the future.

“...she had been groped by a stranger on Horizon Worlds.”
Take the damn goggles off. Problem solved.

SciFi has long predicted an immersive virtual world that will leach many into a virtual life over reality. The Matrix series was built upon these early stories.
I can hope that the LEFT gets trapped easier than the rest of us. I’d be happy to fund their virtual addiction forever!

“Too many people are losing themselves in the internet.”
Thank God that all of us FR denizens are immune from that.

Whether or not it becomes a big thing, it’s still chronic masturbators pretending to be someone. I’m reminded of people who like to say that they’re having sex with a robot when what they’re really doing is wacking off with a doll.
