So no mention in the article, did her avatar have a rape kit performed? Did the attackers leave behind any code or were they wearing virtual condoms? Is she going to get tested for STDs and malware? I hate it when they leave out the critical details. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

Current law affecting computer software is based on literary copyright. Since the "assault" occurred in a software program, it is legally similar to writing a message or email about having sex with the recipient. Last I checked, words are not physical assault. Worst case they get kicked off the platform, but then they can rejoin again with a different ID. Zuckerberg wants something like "Ready Player One", but it's already a race to the bottom... | |||

 Well done, sir. As usual. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

This should be a lesson for them when they say stupid things like "defund the police". What do they think the consequences of those actions will be? Probably not what they think it will be. | |||

I don't doubt her experience and her feelings. But to allow herself to get virtually raped by a bunch of geek Incels??? Turn off your controls that prevent other avatars from getting within 4 feet of your avatar? And TF did she think was going to happen instead? "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||
