Read MoreThe Delightful Perversity of "Anti-Wholesomeness"
I WANT TO INTRODUCE THE TERM “ANTI-WHOLESOMENESS” TO YOUR VOCABULARY.

ABOUT THE METAVERSE
In case you are wondering what is really meant by "the metaverse" : you may not realise it yet, but you already spend time in the "metaverse" : it's just a name for an alternate reality where people from anywhere with an internet connection can meet in a single virtual space, thanks to technology.
