Students gathered today to protest Fred’s University’s involvement in developing the metaverse and to lay out a series of demands for making the metaverse safe, via viral cat video.
Their Educational Cat Video, the latest in a Youtube series produced by disgruntled graduate students in the Psychology Department, asserts that we cannot have a safe metaverse until:
All cats have broadband.
All cats have devices.
Predators are removed.
Fur of all colors is welcome.
LGBQ2QTS+ cats are safe.
The metaverse is universal access.
The metaverse is safe for kittens.
The metaverse is arbitrated.
The metaverse is good to the earth.
We correct the mistakes we made with the internet.
Chanting, “Cats For A Free Metaverse!” students circled the Administration Building in the snow wearing cat ear headbands protesting racism, inequality, sexism and predation on the Internet.
Professors were slow to get involved until one happened to share an episode of the New York Times podcast The Daily about the metaverse where Michael Barbaro casually suggested the Internet was once just for sharing pictures of kittens and grandchildren.
As the subject of many RateMyProfessor.com hate campaigns, faculty could not believe that their hero Michael Barbaro could be so cavalier about the downside of the Internet, and joined the freezing students.
Actual cats did not attend, choosing to sleep in the now-empty department lounge.
