It’s a shame that this is the community that is being cultivated. People should know not to be a peepee in a community, in real life, you get fined, or jailed, publicly shamed, “canceled”, and rightfully so. You shouldn’t be an butthole, and if you are, you deserve every negative thing that occurs to you as a consequence of your actions. It’s part of learning (for slow learners) how to be a decent human being.

This is analogous to social media bullying, which has driven many people into depression, self harm, and worse. Yet again, given any opportunity, people are going out of their way to both be complete degenerate humans, justifying their own behavior and justifying other people’s behavior.

It’s as if people don’t understand the basic premise of not being complete asshats to those around them by default. If you sexually harass people via text message, instant message, email, etc. you will still be rightfully open to legal punishment. The rationale is because it’s still your behavior towards another human being, which surprise, isn’t all that different from VR.

VR, for those who are piling on without actually using it, are probably unaware of a concept called presence. This is the feeling of actually being in VR, it would likely be equivalent of someone writing an inappropriate text message, printing it out on a poster, shoving it into your face and laughing about it in front of everyone. People that would willingly do this in real life would be judged for their actions, VR should be no different.
