It's horrible to see someone horribly raped like that. I think due to men perhaps we just need stuff like original women only media and media companies.

The problem is only going to get worse, and this poor woman is going to be traumatized for the rest of her life. Who is going to pay for her PTSD?

How is this any different from a person groping your avatar in second life? The display is just different. If this is tantamount to assault then the zombies in the last VR game I played need to be behind bars. And the kids in VR chat that do silly things to others.

You can take the headset off at any time. Unless of course, Poe’s law. But I think I’m just an outlier of opinion here. I’ve used VR heavily since oculus dk1 days.

I think folks are buying into marketing too heavily. It’s just a different display medium
