Beth's point about phantom limbs is spot on, but let's not pretend we're all ballet dancers in VR. Karen's right that a quick apology in chat is the digital nod, but sometimes it feels like we're apologizing for existing in a broken world. I've seen avatars phase through each other so much it's like a ghost convention, and no amount of conduct codes can fix that. Taking every glitch personally would mean we'd never log in again, so maybe we should just laugh it off. Platforms like Rec Room can set rules, but until they fix the jank, we're all just ghosts in a machine, bumping into each other. Maintaining that social bubble means accepting the jank as part of the experience, not letting it ruin the vibe.
