This is probably one of the reasons VR never took off... Content warning for sexual violence, child abuse, and hate speech.

So, basically the same kinds of racist and misogynistic trolling that many of us deal with on Twitter, Facebook, and forums! Except in this case everyone has a live voice and a simulated body. Plus since the Metaverse is based on cryptocurrency/blockchain shit to keep objects from being duplicated, well, guess what kinds of people it attracts...

Likewise. I feel it's a bit like Musk getting Twitter and being really naive (at best) about what "free speech" entails.

TBH I suspect there's as much malice as naivety here. Especially with Musk, since he's basically gone full MRA since Grimes left him.
