#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.

#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.

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

#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.

#15 God gave us free will so we could decide for ourselves to not do awful things. Those who can't make that choice go to Hell.

#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.

#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...
