blueridge says:

Virtual reality led to virtual insanity and real crime. Shows that fantasy interaction produces a brainwashed state of mind in some, even violent obsession.

Of course this happens in real life too. "Crimes of passion" are among the leading crimes, just ask your local police dept. Women are not infrequently the aggressors.

There is nothing like the fury of a woman scorned
