youd take the head set off if you weren't enjoying it.

"43-year-old went on to describe how she
witnessed her avatar being
sexually raped by a group of male avatars,
who photographed her and gave
her messages like "don't pretend you didn't like it"

How ridiculous

What even is the meta verse ,

[Crimson Dynamo]

Is it like Habbo?

[user104658]

It sounds like a joke and - whilst it obviously is not an actual rape - sexual harassment online is no joke at all... Nor is the concerning mindset of the men doing it (or their comments).

[user104658]

To put it another way, I don't think many people would find it "funny" if they found out a female member here was being sexually harassed or having rape "jokes" made at them over PM... Nor would (most) people say things like "if you're that bothered just log off". I hope.

The same principles should apply to any online space.

2nd Life online has Sex Dungeons,
some years back, I was up on an Island of Lesbians
asking some women for some fun,
a smart dressed lady with a stick sent me into a Black Void,
so I had to restart it.
I then avoided that Island

SkyNews and BBC America were on it.
also live Rock gigs.
People then used it to trade money

Me on 2nd Life
with a nice Irish Lady called Tink in 2009


One Avatar said he would report me
for Advertising skynews
I said no, it's just an LCD screen I take with me

But it's something that can be done in the game, right? With PMs you can write anything z because it's done by a keyboard, but what you can do in a computer game is pre-determined. It's not really the same as "actual" online harassment, distasteful as it may have been. It was just one 3D model interacting with another.

Metaverse is VR so your avatar basically moves as you do, and it's live voice chat. If sexual harassment is possible with a typed message, it's definitely possible with a microphone!

[Mystic Mock]

I can't believe that Benjamin, Mason & Glyfi would do this.

Seriously though why is there an option to rape people in the Metaverse? How is that programmed into the system? It's one thing to have that kinda content in Hentai, but it's another to put that kinda content into a mainstream product.

Good times.

Obviously not IRL though.

[bots]

people are not really understanding what virtual/augmented reality is. It's real people interacting with other real people within an artificial reality. They are not subject to the same constraints that apply in a "traditional" game

[user104658]

Indeed, it's not that there's an "option" or a button you would press, it's not characters on a screen with a controller, people just move how they want and say what they want...

And obviously there's not nudity or actual visible sexual acts going on, it's people "acting them out" and saying explicit/violent things.
