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.
