This reminds me of a movie I watched called Vice (2015). Awful drag of a movie with a familiar concept that's been visited in many sci-fi films. It's much like the original Westworld (1973), where people go to a contained city inhabited by artificial people (automatons) to act out their basest fantasies, including rape, torture, murder, etc. Essentially, it's an adult amusement park. The artificials can be killed over & over, then reactivated, but they can't harm real humans.
And just imagine the depravity that something like a Holodeck would spawn - not to mention the addiction factor where people would just never leave once inside a fantasy. There are theories that say giving into base fantasies (such as with pornography) is just an addiction that only grows deeper the more one indulges, until it degrades all surrounding functions and leads to more & more extremes to fulfill the need for gratification.
That reminds me... I need to get off this Internet thingy for a while!
