Manifested Cyborgs?

Cyborgs... a combination of machine and "organism," described as a creature of social reality and a creature of fiction. I guess cyborgs are extremely loosely described if we can talk about humans as being cyborgs if we're cyborgs because we take medicine. We also give animals medicine if they need it, does that make them cyborgs as well? "The cyborg is a matter of fiction and lived experience that changes what counts as women's experience in the late twentieth century. This is a struggle over life and death, but the boundary between science fiction and social reality is an optical illusion," according to Haraway.

When I envision a cyborg, I see Star Trek like creatures, that are made up of both human and artificial or science fiction like parts. I don't think of taking human made medicine as making humans like cyborgs at all. If humans ever truly evolved into cyborgs, I believe we would be more like computers when conceived or we'd have to scientifically alter genetic make ups or replace human parts with machine parts to become actual cyborgs. Just the thought of humans as cyborgs is apalling to me but maybe its inevitable?

Cyber what?

First of all, I don't really know how I feel about this. It's relatively uncomfortable for me to talk about things that people do in their free time, especially things that I feel are weird and basically disturbing. The rape in this case were the acts occurring in the MUD, which is not even close to a RL rape, which is something that physically actually occurs, not something on a computer screen. The idea that these two things are even compared upsets me. There are clearly differences between real and symbolic action.

As far as there being victims in those whole ordeal, I really could care less. That may sound a little careless of me to say, but if something happening online in some weird setting such as this one, I would rather never hear anything about it or be brought into the ordeal. I guess the punishment was appropriate for the , but I altogether don't care. Mr. Bungle's virtual head can be taken for all it matters to me, this has no bearing on my life and hopefully no one around me is involved in this either. Mr. Bungle is not the name of anyplayer any more, VR is over for that character.
