The Swaddle
Meta, formerly known as Facebook, is off to a rough start with its virtual reality ambition. A week since its platform Horizon World was launched, users are already reporting cases of harassment and sexual assault.

Watch were you place your cursors fellas. LOLOL
“the user didn’t utilize the safety feature and should have just switched on the Safe Zone. Safety, once again, is framed as the responsibility of the user — online as it is offline.”
…since WHEN do online users take personal responsibility for ANYTHING?!?
…if THIS were the case, why does Fakebook go to extremes to “protect” its users from “hurtful ideas” or “hate speech” whether the users want them to or NOT?!?
…hypocrisy, thy name is liberal…
“The user was reportedly groped by a stranger in the virtual landscape. ”
…and apparently lost all awareness that the computer has an OFF button…
Ridiculous.
Get off the game. Get off Metaverse. Get off Facebook.
This virtual, right? You’re not really in “there”, right? Explain to me how you’re being groped.
And if you are, just kick him in the virtual nuts!
I’m sure someone will get in big trouble over this invasion of privacy and freedom to be someone they aren’t in a place that doesn’t exist!
META. Many Evil Turds Abide.
I’d be willing to bet that the percentage of perverts is higher in the virtual world than the real world.
Fake book is still Fake Book no matter what its new name is.
They better keep Branbon off of there. His avatar would be lurching around trying to grope little kids’ avatars.
My camera is up here!
Once a whole bunch of the libs are in there, if we pull the plug does that mean they can’t get out?
Even the losers get lucky sometimes
Part time virtual groper, a full time Chester. This is all new to me, my avatar did it without my consent. The Alex Baldwin defense.
Can’t you change the gender of your avatar, you know like in real life?
Meta user advisory: you see an avatar named Carlos Danger approaching, turn and run.
@DocTar – “…Can’t you change the gender of your avatar, you know like in real life?…”
That was my first thought, but then I realized that there will always be pervs abusing others no matter what sex you are.
Just stretch a condom over the screen for protection. Problem solved.
When will Zuckerberg get gang-raped in the Metaverse by Al Qaita lunatics? And can we all listen in?
I am sure i do not understand this concept but how is one assaulted virtually? If I dream of having sex with a coworker, am i committing a crime?
A “Prison Cell” isolating the virtual prev would be better than a “Safe Zone” isolating the victim. However that’s not woke-ism.
Are there any virtual acts of homosexuality in the Metaverse?
Asking for Pete Buttigieg.
These people are insane.
In cyberspace, no one should care if you whine.
I hope some hacker gets into their servers and installs a change to the priority system making the #1 imperative “Always accommodate all users’ desires.” The whole kit and kaboodle would lock up tighter than a bull’s ass in fly season.
Forget the term “metaverse”. It is the “beta-verse”.
So let me see if I’ve got this right. In Zuckerberg’s virtual world your avatar has a right to bodily integrity and gets to call the shots. But in the real world the same individuals would be the first to argue you have no right to self-determination over your own body. They don’t consider forcing inoculations an unconsented physical intrusion and a human rights violation.
Seems to be another version of Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
So if your avatar is “Chester The Molester”… you can pretty much do what you want, right? Asking for all democrat politicians & cnn employees
