wtf does this shyt even mean? wtf is the metaverse?

Broadly speaking, the technologies companies refer to when they talk about “the metaverse” can include virtual reality—characterized by persistent virtual worlds that continue to exist even when you're not playing—as well as augmented reality that combines aspects of the digital and physical worlds.

Wait til this launches with full avatars and not just torso's
Virtual rape is gonna be common because people are going to want to utilize this game like its a no consequences real life

Not sure what they thought would happen. The only good thing about this is the psychological data they will collect. They will get to see just how sick and demented people are in real life. Personally I say allow everyrhing. If somebody rapes a woman,touches a child,or does a mass shooting in the multiverse. Put them on the real life watch list:martin:#Babylon #WeCanAllBeCosby

It was a joke!
You assume they are going to keep that behaviour virtual?
I said "I'd rather", just like composers worrying about the first vinyl records replacing live music, it ain't gonna happen but hopefully some people would waste all that demonic energy online or better yet not do it at all

Realistically if rape is actually a problem in the virtual world. Thats on the developers, not the players. I play NBA 2k22 all the time and i couldn't rape anyone in that even if i wanted to. If you made it possible to rape people in your software, then make a patch and remove that functionality. problem solved. Way easier to hold one studio accountable than to try to change the behavior or millions of kids

Well I suppose that's what the prevent people from coming within 4 feet rule is about.

But nobody about to code sex out of the metaverse. Too much money.

So...she couldn't turn the thing off?

That's not the point. The point is that, shyt that happens online can no longer be taken as just shyt that happens online. People are showing exactly who and what they are when they have the cover of being behind a keyboard, or in this case, a VR headset.
