When you get bullied, you automatically think that you're the reason why you're getting bullied. The reality is, it's about them, not you... I'm all about blocking people. I'm all about saying, 'You know what, I don't need this in my life.'

Any real virtual reality enthusiast can look back at VR science fiction. It's not about playing games...
