    This reminds me of a video I can’t find. As I remember it, it was a bunch of Anglos using VR to “experience” what it’s like for children working in mines in Africa. No surprise, most of them reacted badly and/or tapped out.

    Then at the end they asked the people what they thought VR should be developed, could make people more empathetic, etc. and they all were in agreement. Then it turns out the kids were mining materials for tech components like the VR goggles and the people were still in agreement. agony-deep anglo-burn

    Okay, hear me out.

    In exchange for an end to the war, both Putin and Zelensky can issue one another exclusive commemorative NFTs. This will bind them in friendship and also create a real financial incentive for lasting peace.

        I get the totally normal cis male urge of playing Virt-A-Mate in VR as a girl being pummeled by a man with his hip thrusts synced to the fuck machine positioned below me.

        VR technology really is something.

    Forced empathization treatment for class war mongers:
