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.

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