Ah yes, the ever popular "I've never experienced it, so it doesn't exist" argument.

Where did I make that arguement.

VR is not the real world. It's not the holiday so you can't turn off safety protocols to simulate real world threats.

When I play a shooting game in VR I don't think I'm going to die, I do not experience fear. Any claims along those lines are at best overstated and at worst straight up lies.

Who cares what you experience in the context of this study? Why is your input here useful in the context of the discussion? What does this statement add? Why did you say this? Why would anyone here want to know this?
