Young girl gang raped in the metaverse but is it a crime?

[Saltwater60]

I found this article very interesting. I highly doubt they could be charged with rape but possible harassment or something similar. It’s the UK so it could be interesting and I wonder if any of these were international players

How do I join metaverse on Facebook?


What do I need to join the metaverse?

1. Internet connection. You need a reliable internet connection to experience the metaverse at its best. ...
2. A computer, tablet, or mobile device. To fully experience the metaverse, you will need a device connected to the internet. ...
3. Virtual reality headset. ...
4. Digital currency.

All this technology, computers, cell phones is fucking with these younger generations minds. They cant tell reality from what they have their heads buried in on the phones. They live on things like face book where they can just block or unfriend anything or anyone that offends or makes them uneasy and maintain a "safespace". When they have to face reality they have no defensive plans, just cant deal with it so they become school shooters and such. When this new AI bullshit gets going they will just follow whatever it tells them to do.

Aren't you already getting paid in real life considering the Jews have been one of the most persecuted people ever? No double dipping.

His avatar is a black lesbian transgender Jew.

He has all the intersectionality.

I can only imagine this going to trial and the defense attorney questioning her.

"So, at any time you could have just turned off the computer and walked away ?"

She is now a veteran of the psychic wars.

That's messed up. Like most other things these days.

If they could be guilty of rape, then I'm a serial killer of unmitigated proportions from all those commies and arabs I've killed in virtual reality!!! Lmao...

C'mon man.
Are we really this bored? Winter weather getting to some? Who cares.... waste of bandwidth. WTF

If sentient aliens count, I've got more than a few complete genocides under my belt.

Pull my finger, I dare you.

She was probably asking for it.

"Dibbell’s piece reported on how the people behind avatars that were sexually assaulted in a virtual community felt emotions similar to those of victims of physical rape."

Only if those people have mental or emotional issues and are completely incapable of dealing with society.

Attempted gang rape of an avatar for a normal person:
Group of online characters surround potential victim's avatar. One of the crowd "whispers" the potential victim and says "I just raped you" and starts to try to describe what they are doing.
Potential victim whispers back "ha ha ha. You couldn't rape a bug with that beetle dick." and promptly walks away through the crowd completely unscathed.
Potential victim then proceeds to insult the would-be aggressor and their entire lineage in general chat, forcing the would-be aggressor to quit in shame.

You should see what the women do to me on the Internet...

Well, before they showed me my rightful place in the bunnyverse.

It's not rape when you're paying them to do it....

But is it? This could have wide implications for many of us or our loved ones. I’m not on that crap and never will be but maybe your kids or grandkids will be. It’s also an interesting topic to discuss and see how it will proceed.

It's not really.

Imagine a phone call. Then one party starts engaging in phone sex and the other party doesn't want to, but is too stupid to just hang up.

That's basically what this is.

It's not really a feature of the public telephone network, it's just some dumbasses pretending.

I don't have much interest in this kind of "virtual" stuff, it's weird so yes, speaking for myself it's a waste of bandwidth. But that's me. However, if you or others actually do find it significant or worth serious thought or conversation, so be it. And the British police, they have nothing more pressing to do than investigate a fantasy crime? C'mon man... Is she or her avatar virtually pregnant... was/is there virtual semen found during her virtual medical exam? LOL. Sorry, but with all due respect it's a nothing burger to me. As for my one & only kid, my daughter, I can honestly say, +100%, she way too sharp to get involved or taken in by something like that. Same for her hubby. The 4 grand kids, 4 girls 10 and under... it remains to be seen but they have parents and grand parents, all that set good examples. Well all but me. God forbid the grand kids follow my lead

Teach your kids to just turn off the computer if things get uncomfortable.

Problem solved.

This is like prank phone call level threats.

I agree I have no care for things like this either. VR, metaverse, Amazon Alexa things like that are banned from my home and will be forever. I think VR and the metaverse will plunge us deeper into depression and self isolation. I could see people stop having sex for the most part because of this.
I posted it because I thought it was an interesting take and I would like to see how it plays out and if criminal charges come of it. It’s always interesting to know what the authorities and governments are thinking because of what it might bring next. I agree with your assessment and this isn’t rape at all and at best it could be a harassment charge. I also agree she should have left the space. Also does it have a function to show a penis or remove clothing? I have no clue but I guess I fail to see how anyone would realize she was actually raped in that space by the articles terms but I lack background here.

Agree. My reason for posting this is to get a discussion going on what people think and know of this and to see where .gov takes this, thinks on this, or if charges are filed

I am a bit confused...is there a first person shooter view of the crime?

The ripping off of her clothing, and the actual penetration view, like a porno youtube video........ by scores of participants?

Without that proof...........just a planned for lawsuit.

I agree, possible planned lawsuit. Weird kid playing with tech crap, and stumbled an opportunity to become a "victim" and possibly make some $$ off it... surprise surprise... Mussies causing all kinds of problems in the UK and the Brit popo, the "bobbies", actually waste manpower to investigate this shit.... fools, fucking idiots. So after the VR experience, I wonder if this chick lays in bed at night bang'n away with her sex toy while dreaming of her cartoon rape.
