Who Wants To Have a Meta-baby?

The metaverse is a “seeming” reality, major tech corporations are leaning towards an alternate reality while modelling their core offerings around same.

It’s insane to think we are done living in the flesh, and now set to conquer an alternate vacuum that needs no conquering.

I foresee some dire implications in the application of the metaverse; it’s gonna be a game-changer; a usurper of some sort.

What I am most concerned about is how it’s gonna affect parenting and childcare.

I think there is gonna be a new wave of intolerant parents in the coming years; Gen-Zs who are so caught up with the gram and its cohorts.

The introduction of the metaverse is bound to bring about a whole new level of intolerance through lax parenting opportunities.

It’s better explained as a farce below…

The metaverse is gonna bring about parenting opportunities for those who love the “idea-of-kids” but not actual kids;

Now, intolerant couples who want kids but can’t put up with diapers and squeamish screams at 1:00 am can have meta-kids.

Meta-tots or kids are less troublesome and galling; they are inexpensive also.

What makes meta-kids even more interesting…

You have a say as to when they cry or as to when you want their diapers changed. You can as well care less about them, and the welfare service won’t have a case file on you.

The metaverse brings less torture from the realities of life…it’s a great escape.

A metaverse is a disruptor, a game-changer.

What wants to have a meta baby?
