All I can say is the series has some TADC elements like the no swearing representing the ac moderation and a 'Hi' being banned moment. All I'm saying is our 'buddy' Red got a VR on His b-day and he realizes he cant take off the headset and gets trapped into a void of terror. He went from consciousness of the real world to actually forgetting about it and actually thinking he belongs here. He faints IRL in ep2 and gets trapped into the database. Nobody this twisted would make a world trapped of real people. W0ULD TH8Y W00ST37?
