From the you cant make this shit up file Video of the events that lead up to the raping ______________________________________________________________________________ A researcher entered the metaverse, wanting to study users' behavior on Meta's social-networking platform Horizon World. But within an hour of her donning her Oculus virtual reality (VR) headset, she says she was raped in the virtual space. "Metaverse: another cesspool of toxic content," a new report published by nonprofit advocacy group SumOfUs on May 24, details the researcher's violent encounter in Meta's Horizon World. According to SumOfUs's account, users invited the researcher to a private party on Horizon World earlier this month. Users in the same room then asked her to disable a setting that prevented others from getting within four feet of her, The report linked to a video that the group said shows what happened to the researcher's avatar from her perspective. In the video, a male avatar is seen getting very close to her, while another male avatar stands nearby, watching. A bottle of what appears to be alcohol is then passed between the two avatars, per the 28-second video. Two male voices are heard making lewd comments in the video. In a part of the video SumOfUs opted not to share but describe, the researcher "was led into a private room at a party where she was raped by a user who kept telling her to turn around so he could do it from behind while users outside the window could see – all while another user in the room watched and passed around a vodka bottle," per the report. Even though it happened in virtual reality, the incident left the researcher "disoriented," she said in the report. The researcher noted her controller vibrated when the male avatars touched her, resulting in a physical sensation that was a result of what she was experiencing online. "One part of my brain was like wtf is happening, the other part was like this isn't a real body, and another part was like, this is important research," she said in the report... | ||

I'm surprised she has enough brain cells to be divided into three parts. | |||

Yeah. Couldn't she just, uhh, you know, take off the vr headset & stop herself from imagining she was being "raped"? ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

If anyone’s paying this “researcher” for any work at all, they should fire her because she’s not well! | |||

Snowflakes… mental illness. A demographic of our society keeps trying normalize mental illness and another demographic of our society has cultural abnormalities not congruent with a civilized society. As a country we largely keep ignoring the problems in the name of diversity, equality, and inclusion. The article above has all of that on display. How can one not distinguish reality from make believe, not unplug when she was made uncomfortable, and then fake a significant trauma?

Yay. A new digital format we can use to get people fired in a few years. Because using Twitter to dig up years old tweets to hurt people just isn’t enough. The world would be better off without someone like Zuck being in charge of any virtual reality gaming system. If I had the ability to select anyone on this planet to toss into a volcano it would be Zuck along with his stupid VR system that requires you have a Facebook account. Imagine how much better this planet would be if Zuck didn’t exist. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The price of liberty and even of common humanity is eternal vigilance | |||

So, a cartoon version of her, was bad touched by a cartoon version of someone else, and this left her damaged, in meatspace. The future is dumb, but it is something Star Trek has shown before with the Holodeck, so I guess that's cool... ish.
