Meta puts in social distancing in Metaverse, cancels itself

Who would want to go on the metaverse now that miscers can’t harass sloots?
Meta has announced a new feature to allow more personal space for people's avatars in virtual-reality worlds.
The metaverse is still at concept stage but the latest attempts to create virtual worlds are already facing an age-old problem: harassment.
Bloomberg's technology columnist Parmy Olson told the BBC's Tech Tent programme about her own "creepy" experiences.
And one woman likened her own traumatic experience in VR to sexual abuse.
Meta has now announced a new feature, Personal Boundary, which begins rolling out on 4 February. It prevents avatars from coming within a set distance of each other, creating more personal space for people and making it easier to avoid these unwanted interactions.
It stops others "invading your avatar's personal space", said Meta.
"If someone tries to enter your Personal Boundary, the system will halt their forward movement as they reach the boundary."

So what exactly is the point of this and who is it supposed to appeal to?

I've visited VR chat a couple of times and absolutely no one will like that feature.

Cool get a bunch of miskers together with max boundaries and start clogging bottlenecks. Sounds well thought out.

Imagine feeling "sexually abused" and "traumatized" in a VIRTUAL world.

Fookin' lol. Let me off of this ride.
