This is great dialogue! I’ve designed immersive environments and “metahumans” for years for my “day job”. This discussion has caused me to rethink my work”. I need to reconsider the ethical side of it all. Keep up the great work 🔥🙏🏽💪🏽!

Good chat. It for sure does matter who is behind the avatar, tech, art and creation. This is like pimping or ownership of another displayed culture, ethnicity and gender, and another ethnic group is getting credit and paid on it. Wild times.
