#21  Could be worse. If (when) Fakebook adds a VR Sniff-O-Rama virtual-olfactory experience, the maiden can look forward to a close encounter with Brandon. Hands on shoulders, snout in her hair, tiny prod against her backside...

#19  Did she forget her virtual rape whistle?

Come on chicky, this is basic D&D questing - if you don't have it, you don't have it.

#18  VR can't take the place of comix... if you deny the Orcs their comix, untoward results may result.

A man in Florida was indicted on Tuesday for allegedly beating his infant son to death out of frustration and anger because taking care of the baby forced the 26-year-old to cancel a weekend trip to Comic-Con.

An Alachua County grand jury returned a true bill indicting Keyshawn Wanya Bailey on one count each of first degree murder, aggravated child abuse, child abuse, and child neglect for allegedly killing his 8-month-old son last month, the Office of the State Attorney for the Eighth Judicial Circuit announced Tuesday.

#14  All Meta employees are virtual rape conspirators. Don't hold your breath waiting for them to do the right thing and hara-kiri the company.

#13  Think about it. Someone had to code it. It didn't self-generate.

#12  So, how does the feedback to the user on getting groped work? Is there a 'hand' attachment to the visors which grabs, pinches, twists and penetrates?
These are the same people who get off on virtual sex.

#10  Kids already see social media as "the real real world." They are stupid. It's shameful that adults will help them carry on that delusion.

#9  ReviewTechUSA calls out the bullshit on Jordan Belamire's VR "sexual assault"

Actually, she is not half-bad looking, I'd take a hit at that if I were 35 years younger...

#6  Well now we know why the left and President Biden approves of Second Life Meta so much. They even re-invented the perversions.

Were they in their 'Furry' avatars at the time?

#4  The groping action must be part of the ‘Presidential’ Application Feature built in for VIP customers.

#1  So someone's imaginary computer image 'gropes' someone else's imaginary computer image, and this is a crime of some kind?
Don't video game participants get to pick avatars, and shoot each other or steal their cars or such?
