Living in a Metaverse

Facebook Metaverse is on its way and it will change our digital social lives in a revolutionary way. After Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta introduction, I couldn’t stop but to think how it will make us even more disconnected from reality. A real Doomer scenario. In this video, Wojak lives in a crypto metaverse where he meets a tradgirl (a girl right?). She confronts him of his lonely life to which he responds by switching her for a less annoying NPC.

Note: This is a different type of video from what you know me for. I usually make funny videos with the goal to make people laugh, but after watching the Meta introduction from Facebook, I got very fascinated and frightened for the future of our social interactions. I think the Metaverse is a serious Doomer scenario and therefore I wanted to try and do a serious video for once. Next video will be a classic funny crypto story like you’re used to! - LBS

Any feedback on my videos is welcome in the comments! I’m a new kid on the block who likes making doomer, boomer, zoomer etc. memes, and it would be epic if one day I can become as great as Bizonacci, Dustin O’daffer or MillenniaThinker. Your feedback really helps me in improving my meme animations.

Hi Guys! This is a different type of video from what you know me for. I usually make funny videos with the goal to make people laugh, but after watching the Meta introduction from Facebook, I got very fascinated and frightened for the future of our social interactions.

That moment when he casually referred to real life as just "the offline world" was so disturbing, such a good subtle detail

[HelpIwantToLeave]

I’m so glad all the comments are against the Metaverse, gives me hope.

[dandy-jack]

What terrifies me is how real this situation seems to me compared to maybe a decade ago. This is swaying away from sci-fi and leaning towards realistic fiction/horror

[samsaon]

Metaverse is like drugs, helps you escape reality forget pain and suffering for sometime. Everyone will get hooked on to this because every human beings go through suffering

[stefano_monteforte_]

This vid is on a totally different level, congrats man! A piece of art, certainly not low budget ;)

[davidmckelvey]

The idea of a metaverse merging or replacing our real life is honestly the scariest thing in existence in my opinion.

[andeemengaming]

i fear later gens will call us "boomers" for hating a metaverse, further straying away from the real life

[corneliousseuss]

I don’t mean to sound like an old lady when I say the next generation is fucked. If something like the meta verse was accessible to me when i was an insecure, anxious and socially awkward child with no real concept of how important the real world is I absolutely would’ve devoted my life to this shit.

[cliusthoth]

These stories are slowly getting more grim and existential, I love it.

[gamerleo]

Holy fuck this is terrifying… Brilliantly written by the author bro.

That twist was actually genius. There were two tropes I was expecting: one where the girl is who she seems to be, and rejects wojak because he is unsuccessful and lonely, which is very simple and somewhat patronizing; and the other, where wojak gets catfished, and where the horror is in realizing the illusion of the metaverse, is a tired trope and would not have said anything unique.

But what here happened is so much better. The girl/fat man character has descended so far into the matevarse for so many years, but had the wisdom to realize it. He can't save himself, but he believes he can save others from the same end. He he sees himself in Wojak. His avatar is a girl not to deceive, or for some kind of fetish, but because he knows that's the only way he can reach people like Wojak. It is beautiful, in a way, that he has transformed his own pain and likely his own hatred for himself into the desire to help others avoid the same fate as he met.

But ironically Wojak, who still has a semblance of a life outside the metaverse, and even people who want to be his friend, defends the web which is being spun around him, and which he weaves around himself.

I think the symbolism of his co-worker inside of the story is that he is trying to avoid *ANYTHING* that resembles him from the real world.

I felt bad when he rejected his coworker’s request. They guy seemed genuinely nice :(

[nitinhoskote]

This is fucking incredible. The fact that somebody can make these types of videos with memes is just so astonishing.

[martins]

This is not just metaverse thing. There are many people who rather spend time in vrchat than real life

[Outshinedsg]

I agree, as a gamer I am concerned that the metaverse could lead to some very dystopian futures. Why would you live in the real world, grinding 40 hours for bare subsistence wages when you can literally be the god of your own digital universe and simply will whatever you want into existence. Being successful in real life is really hard, but in the metaverse, you'll just think about it and it'll be there. I can see a lot of unhappy people just checking out and living most of their lives digitally, only logging out to eat and do whatever they need in order to maintain a basic living space for their VR setup.

I really hope the metaverse never happens

[mr_hexo]

The scary thing is, this EXACT thing will probably happen once the metaverse is out in its entirety..
