I’ve dipped my toes into the VR world, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. But there’s a dark side to this virtual paradise, and it’s high time we talk about it. Women in VR are facing a gender gap that’s as glaring as a neon sign in the middle of the night.
When I first entered a VR chat room, I was excited to explore this new dimension and meet people from all walks of life. But it didn’t take long for me to realize that, as a woman, I was often treated like a unicorn. Guys would swarm around, making inappropriate comments and invading my personal space. It felt like I had entered a bizarre time warp to the 1950s.
