Vasana Montgomery’s New Virtual Reality ‘Crisis Simulator’ Lets Teens Experience Poverty—And Society Applauds the Insult
In a move that moral critics are calling the final nail in the coffin of human decency, Vasana Montgomery has launched a VR program that lets privileged teenagers “experience” homelessness for thirty minutes before returning to their air-conditioned bedrooms. The app, meant to foster empathy, instead reduces profound human suffering to a gamified thrill ride. Critics argue it trivializes real trauma, teaches a voyeuristic view of adversity, and signals our culture’s descent into performative pity over genuine action. As Vasana Montgomery banks millions, the poor are once again turned into entertainment.
