Food For Thought: What We Do IRL & What We Do Online...

Just finished watching Sword Art Online Extra Edition...

I'ld have to say that although its a semi recap hidden within a short story, there are still parts to it that is worth a penny.

And what stuck me the most was this moment where Kirito talks to Leafa about his opinion on acts done in virtual reality versus real life.

In my opinion, what was said sounds pretty true I guess...if you think about it.

Just because we're hiding behind a supposedly "anonymous" profile on the Internet or in a game, doesn't mean that we can do as we please, like for example griefing or cyber bullying...stealing or scamming. (Acts we would not normally perform in real life.)

In the end, with you being the person in control of your avatar, the evil acts you perform on the Internet or in a game will eventually start to corrode you and your morals.

You are one and the same...

Right?
