I must be a horrible person, this article made me giggle and I can't get the grin off my face.

>>>After trying to flee the virtual world, Patel told The Mail on Sunday that she had to tear off her virtual reality (VR) headset to bring an end to the ordeal.

I honestly feel bad for the woman so I don't know what is going on inside of me.

>>>the avatars touched her character's body inappropriately, made sexual comments, and took screenshots for several minutes.

Maybe it is just the absurdity of an organized gang of rapists mobbing avatars while taking selfies in the Metaverse.

Never the less, I can't stop grinning, maybe my mind has finally broken.

I think they need virtual police officers to make arrests and put the perps in jail.

Well if history has showed us anything, chances are in 5-10 years people will be losing their real jobs for doing such things.

But I'm still grinning, just keep visualizing someone running with a headset on trying to get away for "Several Minutes" before they realize oh wait I can take the headset off.

The correct response to this headline is "No, she wasnt."

>She told the paper that she has been suffering from anxiety ever since.

Oh c'mon.
