I wouldn't really call it an issue of political correctness, I'd call it more an issue of people being afraid of things they don't understand.

VR by nature has a more direct effect of this because...well when you're in VR...shit is REAL.

So it stands to reason that those who don't want VR would react more towards it than previous devices like...cell phones, or just any technology in general.


Except the VR isn't what they have an issue with.  It's that the haunted house makes mentally ill people seem scary and dangerous.
