The Pros and Cons of Giving Avatars a Personality?!

For today's KMD lecture, we invited Attorney Shinnosuke Fukuoka from Nishimura & Asahi as a guest lecturer, and

Should we grant avatars legal status?

We held a discussion on that topic.

Professor Fukuoka has started giving lectures using an avatar!

Before long, the students began transforming into avatars one after another, and the discussion eventually took place almost entirely through avatars.

I like people who have that kind of vibe.
