Nope, you're completely correct. The Internet is an inherently voluntary participatory medium. You cannot be "bullied" on the Internet because you can make it disappear by clicking a red X.
Furthermore as liberals are so keen on reminding everyone via their campaign of censorship, you don't have the right to be anywhere on the Internet at all, even if you're paying for that access.
>You cannot be "bullied" on the Internet because you can make it disappear by clicking a red X.
I'm not understanding your logic here. It's not bullying if you can quit? So kids can't be bullied on sports teams or in clubs or extra curricular classes? Are you an actual boomer who thinks the internet "isn't real" and isn't a key part of life today?
Wow you really nailed that straw man. Look at the stuffing fly. But yes, being scammed online is a crime. Video game gold has real value and if you are stealing it from people via deception, you are committing a crime. And social media is a social situation, wherein you can suffer social effects such as being bullied.
eh i can think of A scenero where its serious. when a hacker takes over your network and decides to then use some of the connected devices to start a fire. back in the day there was a computer virus that did this using a certain monitor type mucked with its display causing it to overheat and catch fire. but outside this very niche example i agree with you. just shooting to try to improve debate skills by racking my brain a bit.
That's hacking though and something very different in terms of what sort of crime it is and the method used. The problem is we have leftists who are deliberately trying to blur the lines between actual property damage and attempted murder versus something that happened virtually that isn't even real because they're insane.
The alleged victim, identified only as a girl under 16, was wearing a virtual reality headset in an immersive game when her avatar, an animated representation of her, was raped by those of several men, the Daily Mail first reported.
Still, UK authorities fear it might be impossible to prosecute under existing laws, which define sexual assault as physical touching in a sexual manner without consent.
Omfg fuck this country I'm leaving, absolutely fuck this country.
“I know it is easy to dismiss this as being not real, but the whole point of these virtual environments is they are incredibly immersive,” the senior politician told LBC’s “Nick Ferrari at Breakfast” program.
No, it's not fucking real, it never was, you fucking retards, this is all being done so they can drum up more rape statistics and inevitably this will be targeted at gamers etc. because they'll claim they're perpetrating gang rapes against girls in VR. You know this is going to be the angle they're going for, I knew 2024 was going to get particularly retarded but this is a whole new level and we're not even past the first week yet.
I really believe this, I think they're going to clamp down hard on men, particularly men who game because they'll go the Jack Thompson route and claim some psychological bullshit it's all turning them into misogynists and rapists. This is why I'd consider myself better off moving to South America, thought crime and hate speech is going to get so much worse in this country. Even if they can't get anything on you for real they'll inevitably create some kind of database and try to list you as some problematic individual and claim oh but we know you were thinking about doing this sort of thing therefore.
How would this even work? Rape is an actual word, with an actual meaning. It wasn't rape if somebody just said words you don't like. Did the developers created a rape mechanism? What the fuck is this nonsense?
But the CP doesn't come from nowhere, it's part of a connected network. It's same as the selling of stolen goods, you didn't perform the crime to obtain them possibly but your distribution of said goods encourages and finances those crimes to continue.
Any crime that can be stopped by turning off your WiFi is NOT a serious crime: change my mind.
You don't even have to turn the wifi off. You just have to take the headset off and log out.

So Dark Souls is bullying you then? Is being scammed out of WoW gold a human rights violation?
Just turn the fuckin thing off. Stop acting like this kind of thing is equivalent to real life.
And no I'm no boomer. But I'm certainly not fool enough to think that friggin Facebook VR is a "key part of life."

A reminder, people want to hook their homes, security and even body parts (pacemakers) to the Internet.
I didn't need to play Watchdogs to know how MUCH of a bad idea that is..
Laughs in MegaMan Battle Network.

Feminists have been widening the definition of rape for generations to justify their bloated corporate existence
Distribution of CP over the internet?
No because there has to be active child abuse to PRODUCE those images.
Unless you count drawings in which case sure you can try but that gets into REALLY thought crime territory..
The distribution is also a crime.
But the CP doesn't come from nowhere, it's part of a connected network. It's same as the selling of stolen goods, you didn't perform the crime to obtain them possibly but your distribution of said goods encourages and finances those crimes to continue.
