Metaverse? Blegh! Dweebs pretending to be humans while chronically snapping their carrots in mommy’s house.

[Organic Panic]

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

[DesertRhino]

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.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

[Skywise]

How can you be sexually harassed on VR?

How can they sexually assault you?

Don’t like the people then BLOCK them.

[bigbob]

Who hasn’t done their share of virtual groping?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

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.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

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

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

[eyeamok]

Another reason in a very long list to Repeal 19

[Boogieman]

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

“Oh no, someone’s imaginary pixels touched my imaginary pixels. HALP!!!!”

[PGR88]

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

[Retrofitted]

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.

[ETCM]

Meta’s internal review of the incident found that the beta tester should have used a tool called “Safe Zone” that’s part of a suite of safety features built into Horizon Worlds. Safe Zone is a protective bubble users can activate when feeling threatened. Within it, no one can touch them, talk to them, or interact in any way

Maybe the answer to this problem is to allow OPEN CARRY in the metaverse. Same effect as a "bubble", but it only keeps the perv away.

I don't get the attraction of immersing yourself in a fake world when reality is all that matters. Does their real life suck that bad?

[Robert DeLong]

Their avatars may have been groped, but the not person, sounds like to me. Such nonsense.

[backwoods-engineer]

“In between a wave of zombies and demons to shoot down, I was hanging out next to BigBro442, waiting for our next attack. Suddenly, BigBro442’s disembodied helmet faced me dead-on. His floating hand approached my body, and he started to virtually rub my chest. ‘Stop!’ I cried … This goaded him on, and even when I turned away from him, he chased me around, making grabbing and pinching motions near my chest. Emboldened, he even shoved his hand toward my virtual crotch and began rubbing.

This sounds like something that would show up on one of those satire sites, like The Onion or Babylon Bee.

[Scrambler Bob]

So, can you get an abortion in meta?

What does the meta supreme court say?

[Bigg Red]

I had rto double check to see if this was from “Babylon Bee.” Admittedly, I am an old lady who has never experienced any sort of virtual reality, but I am not seeing how someone can be harmed by being virtually groped.

[Pearls Before Swine]

If a butt is pinched in the metaverse, does anyone feel it?

Or, is it more like a “flame war” or “cyberstalking” incident on regular social media?

[Openurmind]

Lol... IT IS NOT REAL!!! The alternate realities will just not die.
