    This is you:

    Genuinely, I’m not sure how you come to that conclusion from reading the paper, […]

    So you’re talking about my reading on the paper, not the paper’s conclusion.

    You continued to to make this claim:

    They don’t say this can be used to fix catcalling or improve society on it’s own

    Which is exactly what they in fact said in their hypothesis.

    Oh and your disrespectful tone doesn’t do you any favors. Lack of understanding of the scientific method my balls, try learning how language works.

      So you’re talking about my reading on the paper, not the paper’s conclusion.

      Yes, because your conclusion of what the paper is saying is absolutely not what the paper actually says.

      Which is exactly what they in fact said in their hypothesis.

      Yes, in their hypothesis. It seems evident that you don’t know what a hypothesis is in a scientific paper given you keep incorrectly presenting something taken from the hypothesis as a claim the authors are making.

      This is so basic it’s literally taught in the first grade. You have absolutely no grounds from which to criticize this article if you do not even understand the basic structures of scientific inquiry, foremost in this particular discussion that the ideas in a hypothesis are by no means automatically going to be reflected in the conclusion.

        You’re embarrasing yourself. The authors claim that their hypothesis was supported in their conclusion.

        In clinical settings, it may serve as an intervention to increase emotional awareness and empathy among individuals who have engaged in harassment, with the aim of modifying their behavior.

        This is in contrast to your statement:

        They don’t say this can be used to fix catcalling or improve society on it’s own, just that the results seem to indicate there is a basis to believe that VR can elicit varying emotional responses between different scenarios and that we can measure the differences in reaction.

        Now quit your bullshit and fuck off.

          I’ve never once claimed (or implied) that the author’s hypothesis wasn’t supported by their conclusion, just that basing your criticisms off the hypothesis belies a total lack of understanding for how the scientific process works - and showed that at that point you hadn’t even read the paper, or you could have simply quoted the relevant portion from the conclusion.

          What I initially was pointing out is that this criticism,

          This implies that the participants would not have felt disgust or anger had their avatar been male; or if it was a normal videogame; or if this wasn’t a game at all but a film instead; or if this wasn’t audiovisual but a book instead…

          was completely baseless. It still is, too.

          (my statement and the author’s conclusions absolutely agree, as well. I don’t… see how you could misinterpret that. It’s really explicitly clear.)
