How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
Isn't this trivializing rape
Maybe, but think about this, you can be anything, or anyone in the meta verse with no limitations, and the version of yourself that you prefer is a rapist? And it sounds like they had a whole "rape" plan, with the group, and "drink", I have to admit, I'm confused as to wtf this whole thing is? Like, as soon as you aren't having fun, can't you turn it off?

Weirdest thing about that picture is that they were looking like that over a known transformer (Video is timestamped):

For sure, the dudes who do this are lame asf and weird. But reading this just sounds insane.

If I'm brandishing a virtual gun at your head in vr, am I threatening you? If I make a punching motion at your character, is that assault? If I'm shooting your character, have you been "murdered in the metaverse"?

As far as I know, it's not anything different than vr games where you have a headset and controllers in your hands. Like you said, you can pull off your headset and boom, game is over. How you get pressured to turn around or do anything in a game? Claiming that you got raped on the game sounds crazy asf and ridiculous compared to the horror rape in real life is.

I dont even understand

Isn't this essentially the exact same thing as the teabagging thing they do in COD after a kill? Is that Murder and necrophilia now?

That's one way to look at it but I would say in those games the purpose is to kill the opponent as opposed to the metaverse.


Edit: Also keep in mind in those games you can be punished for grief/harassment.

If you watch the video, the avatars dont even have legs, they are just floating upper bodies

Read somewhere some time ago, someone had black slaves in their basement in the metaverse. I had to laugh. People are fukked up. Is what it is.
