Kim Correa loves the online game DayZ, which lets you interact
with other humans during a zombie apocalypse. DayZ's appeal is that it
allows weird, spontaneous interactions between players. It also allows
really terrible ones. Kim talks about her experience of being raped in a
virtual world -- something she doesn't quite know what to do with. We
also talk to writer Julian Dibbel, who wrote about how one online
community dealt with a virtual rape back in 1993.
You can read Kim's essay about her experience here. Julian Dibbel's piece about how one online community dealt with virtual rape is here. Thanks for listening. If you like our show, please subscribe to us on iTunes. Or you can follow PJ and Alex and TLDR on Twitter.
