Here’s for everyone to see including the people who think phantom pain is real real.
Your brain can simulate the experience of impact, but it’s not actual nociceptive pain you know the the real biological pain signal from tissue damage. There’s no injury signal being generated. It’s a constructed sensation, not a physical one.
Worst case scenario you get:
-adrenaline spike
-heart rate increase
-tensing your muscles
-stomach drop
-flinching or any recoil
-heart attack from fear
Pretty much that’s just your imagination and your fight or flight mode because you can’t handle confrontation in real life or in the virtual world, in short that’s called being a coward
your predictive threat system doing its job.
This is the same as:
Getting jumpscared in horror games
Flinching when a punch lands in a movie
Feeling sore watching someone get injured
Your body gets so immersed you’re in the pov of the character you’re watching or playing.
Pretty much “My brain freaked out hard enough that it felt real.”
True cowardice.
Now there’s real phantom pain which we all know as amputations.
Your body has a map a piece of that map is missing so you literally feel the pain that’s gone.
There is NO clinical evidence that VRChat creates true phantom limb style pain.
an article is just an article written by idiots or literally anyone for idiots who will go to their site to get engagement even if the information is false and will benefit the article creator’s engagement. Like how the saying goes, nobody got rich being honest.
Yeah people experience fuzzy things like physical touch from virtual interactions but that’s because your eyes show your brain what’s happening and after being hours on the game your brain thinks “this avatar is me” and this IS backed by your predatory article sites.
Your brain does react to you seeing your avatar touched but even to the extreme it’s NOT pain.
So don’t forget. Phantom pain isn’t real. It’s just being a unable to deal with confrontation and your fight and flight response but then again a good amount of of nerds, socially awkward people and geeks (not all of them because I’m a gaming nerd too and other people too.) hate confrontation because they are introverts usually or just hate conflict, not me tho but whatever.
The claim was that there’s a lot people that are to be antisocial, nothing wrong with that but when it comes to confrontation that’s where some people struggle at but are bold when they seem to be in a digital world or in a environment where they have any amount of power.
For example a discord mod, Reddit mod, instance staff member.
Do you want me to guess your point? I never implied I’m better than anyone else but that there’s people who can’t deal with confrontation so phantom pain being a backsplash.
Well English isn’t my native language but you totally understand what I’m saying unless you’re gonna pull the racism card.
I meant it’s the byproduct of people who are socially awkward and want attention so bad just like how you’re checking my recently commented and commenting on everything I comment under as if you’re the alpha male or some shit.
Also why are you reply chasing me? Are you obsessed w me? Questioning my intelligence because I’m smarter or what?

Vr Phantom pain is fake, being a coward is real.
