A 2018 report by Pluto VR and The Extended Mind found that 49% of female and 36% of male users experienced sexual harassment in VR.
The experience of assault in VR has become much more lifelike as gaming technology has progressed.
VR offers users a level of immersion that makes it more difficult to discern reality from the virtual world.
- This has made it hard to categorize virtual-reality sexual harassment as a "real" assault or just a kind of harassment.
- For some male users, VR offers an opportunity to act out resentment toward women in a way that has the plausible deniability of play.
Activists call for more safety measures to protect users from sexual harassment and assault in VR.
