Quote: Jordan Belamire has been sexually assaulted three times. Twice in real life, and once in virtual reality.
Belamire who goes by a pseudonym to protect her privacy, was playing a game called QuiVr on her brother-in-law's HTC Vive VR system. She was shooting zombies with strangers in QuiVr's multiplayer mode when another player began to virtually rub her chest.
"I've been groped in real life, once in a Starbucks in broad daylight. I know what it's like to happen in person," Belamire, 30, told CNNMoney. "The shock and disgust I felt [in QuiVr] was not too far off from that."
Another user, BigBro442 had apparently caught on that she was a woman because her mic was on and her voice was streaming through to the virtual world.
Belamire yelled "Stop!" as BigBro442 grabbed her. That made things worse.
"He chased me around, making grabbing and pinching motions near my chest. Emboldened, he even shoved his hand toward my virtual crotch and began rubbing," she wrote in a Medium post about the incident last week.
Jesus man how can this be equated to sexual assault? In a way its sort of offensive to real sexual assault victims. I'm at a loss of words and no face palm meme on the internet can capture how I feel about this triggered lady..

And calling it trigger is dismissive. It's sexual harassment, guy should be banned from whatever this game is.

Obviously, but did it warrant an entire CNN article? You complain to the admin, get him kick/banned, and keep playing. You don't sit in the corner crying and contact the media because your virtual character got touched in a weird place.
Why didn't she just start shooting/unloading on the offender? Assuming team killing is on in a zombie game.

Its a slow news day outside of the Email stuff.
And sexual assault has been in the news lately.
But I agree. Game newsworthy perhaps. CNN? Pushing it.

I'm surprised they would leave it off. Left 4 Dead it's on, and a few other mods its left on since team mates can become infected. It lets you have the option of killing them before they turn.

It is, but it is hardly a sex crime.

Here is the game : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0_-BM0sh70
I understand if there was a way to tell if someone was doing that towards you but it doesn't look like this game is really capable of doing something so specific. It easy very easy to misinterpret actions in these games, some may even find tea bagging malicious. Regardless its a game and nothing should be taken seriously in it.
Furthermore you can just use the word dismissive incorrectly. She is actually being triggered, similar in a way one would be triggered with PTSD but with less explanation that isn't a dismissive statement it actually quite accurate in this example. If you just act like everyones argument is dismissive then no ones argument would ever hold any value and therefore be dismissed. Your use of dismissive there is the only real dismissive thing in this whole thread.

First, "triggered" is common internet gergon for people who overreact over things that aren't worth it. So don't bore me with a silly tirade about something different.
I don't know this game, nor what it's capable of, I simply went by what was stated in the article. Following a girl aroud and molesting her(in vr no less)is harassment. You'd get banned for much less even here.

Teabagging is only mentioned in thread title anyway.

Not my idea of tea bagging. It does come under my idea of sexual harassment.
The definition of teabagging is NSFW and can carry political connotations.
I suggest searching teabagging on urban dictionary and paging down about 6 - 9 times.
By fonewear 2016-10-30 15:18:16
I suggest this being reported to the Huff Post. They will get their best "people" to end virtual harassment !
By eliroo 2016-10-30 17:24:53
You heard it hear guys teabagging the corpses of your enemies is sexual assault! Also interacting with other players in the only way you can in a simplistic game is pretty much rape.

Every time we vindicate this type of attitude we perpetuate it. The fact we take these silly accusations seriously is why SJWs are running rampant.
