The first thing Meta should accept about VR is that people are going to have extremely kinky sex in it and there's nothing they can do about it.

Without the right "peripherals" they'll just have the same kind of "sex" they're already having - with their dominant hand.

  Those peripherals already exist, for pretty cheap too. They are just synced to videos instead of vr games. Headset will be multiple times more expensive.

    They'd have to be approved to be used though. It's a closed platform.

      Not really. Many of them just use simple WiFi APIs and already work with the quest. It's very hard to block this if you allow internet access to an app. Example: https://www.handyfeeling.com https://www.handyfeeling.com which you can use with the sexlikereal app. It connects to your WiFi on its own and has a cloud service. I don't really understand why they'd want to ban this kind of stuff. Let people have their harmless fun. Why does everything have to be kid friendly? Some people don't even have kids. Just put it behind an age check or something. Just like violent games which are on the platform. Ps couldn't read the article as it's paywalled but the headline is pretty clear.

Well, if they run it, there is something they can do about it. That sort of summarizes the whole thing. Either they actually develop a protocol that lets people engage on their own terms in a VR world, or the just build a Facebook second life where you can go and do approved things and maybe submit an app for approval of facebook that let's you do some approved extra thing, maybe line dancing or something. It's pretty clear from the comments that what they're doing is the latter thing, so as I said earlier, why would anyone use this?

The first thing schools and libraries need to accept is people will have kinky sex in them and there's nothing they can do about it. They are even more 3D than VR. There's lots they can do about it. I don't see a lot of kinky sex in Call of Duty? I'm sure it exists, but I don't see it. I don't call tea bagging a kill kinky sex though. Meta will not be whatever people are making up in their heads. The question is what Facebook has made up in their head is equally delusional and unable to pivot.
