placebo@lemmy.ziptoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Study of men who embodied a young woman in VR finds they felt disgust & anger when catcalledEnglish
491·4 days agoRegarding fear, our results show that this emotion is higher in the catcalling situation, however, there is no significant difference with the control condition. This suggests that experiencing an urban underground environment at night from a woman’s perspective is inherently fear-inducing, independent of explicit harassment.
Does it, though? It would be better if they had a control group where participants used a male avatar. My understanding is that both groups used female avatars:
In the experimental condition, the avatars used typical Italian catcalling expressions (documented in newspaper articles and sociological research on the topic of verbal street harassment), while in the control group (condition), the avatars posed general questions to the participants.
I have no doubt that it can be scary for a woman to be in this setting in real life. However, I’d like to see scientific proof that this feeling can be specifically induced in men who are controlling female characters in VR. Right now, it’s more of an assumption, isn’t it? As a gamer, I know that the location itself can be scary, that sound design (music, ambient sounds, voice acting) can be frightening, and that trying VR for the first time can also be uncomfortable.
Yeah. Reddit makes money, but it’s unpaid workforce who have to combat bots - and their options are limited. It’s crazy that this is normalized.
People care about Marvel movies and Taylor Swift. There is nothing wrong with either, it’s just a form of entertainment at this point.
There are no such popups though. The issue on Windows is that Microsoft is pushing AI everywhere, whether you want it or not. But the OP allegedly used AI as a tool to generate this image when they wanted to.
And cat pics.
Python and bootstrap. Honestly, piefed feels like someone’s final cs50 project - which is why I’m hesitant to jump.

Same. I had an issue with AI videos at some point, but some dislikes later I don’t see them anymore.
Season 5 feels like a cheap cable tv drama. And what happened to “don’t tell, show?” They are explaining everything - sometimes multiple times.

4·8 days agoShe asked them to come back and that episode ended with an emotional hug. I think she got desperate alone and got carried away with this illusion that Zosia was her girlfriend.
And why did she request an atomic bomb instead of her eggs?
I’m sure there is an in-universe explanations, but wouldn’t that be lame? An atomic bomb makes a more interesting story. It can be used to destroy the giant antenna that controls the hive.
