>How do you feel right now? Frustrated? Annoyed? Do you think I'm a complete and total idiot?

Absolutely not.

You were so kind as to share your view on the matter and I thanked you for your well-thought out and detailed reply/proposal.

And I had no intention to dismiss it in any way, if you felt like that I beg your pardon.

That's it, before your post I couldn't even imagine a VR based kind of experience, now you provided a good example, which doesn't mean that - as said - it will be intrinsically better than more traditional non-VR methods, in my opinion.

I already tried to explain the reasons why, a simulation is a simulation and most people are aware of that, thus I cannot believe that an experience like the one you described can actually "stick" in the minds of the participants, I think that most of them will simply take it for a "game about an escape room", unless they have a previous sensitivity to the racial or gender (or whatever other) biases.
