Sorry if this is the wrong place to post, if there’s a better location please let me know where to direct this.

One of the mods of !gaming@lemmy.world (Stormageddon47) left some disturbing comments here, referring to the simulated rape of a child in VR as “bullying” and insisting multiple times that it should not be investigated by police at all, despite sexual harassment of children obviously being a crime.

They repeatedly downplay the seriousness of what happened to the girl and spread misinformation about the police trying to prosecute it as a rape. While there are media stories referring to it this way, reliable sources are very explicit about the fact rape laws do not cover what happened to this girl.

Just wanted to make sure the admins knew this was going on, thanks for your time.

I guess I'm a sexual assault survivor! The things people have said and done to my WoW characters ...

Ridiculous.

If you were a child using VR and people suddenly started pretending to rape you then you would have been sexually harassed, which is a crime. If you feel the cops shouldn’t investigate sexual harassment of children if it happens online that’s on you.

I didn’t make this post to drag this out, but since the former mod went rogue and mass deleted everything that’s the context of what was being talked about.

Why are children using online VR in the first place?

[–] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 9 months ago

Probably because VR is extremely heavily marketed to them. This is off topic though.

Yes, let's waste police resources everytime a kid gets teabagged in fortnight.
