I was deliberately generalizing for the sake of humor. There’s a lot that I knowingly glossed over or oversimplified.
My comment was in response to what the assistant producer said. Specifically, the very last line.

He’s describing liminal space. It has nothing to do with being tricked into thinking you’re on a space station. It’s about being somewhere our brain knows should have lots of people, but you’re alone.
I’ve walked through train stations late at night and had those moments before. A gaping maw of a walkway meant for rush hour pedestrian traffic… completely empty and silent.
Edit: ??? I guess liminal space is really upsetting for some people.
It’s something I didn’t think about when they were always there and it’s something I continued to not think about when they were gone. Fireplaces.
When I moved from America to Japan 11 years ago, I never saw a house or apartment that had a fireplace ever again. And even though I grew up with one, and associate a lot of fond memories with it, I don’t really miss it and don’t think it’s necessary in a modern home.
The closest the Japanese ever had to a fireplace was a hearth in the common room for cooking. Those became extinct a long time ago and are now only found in the few larger pre-war buildings that still remain.
The headline makes it sound like people are scared to report crimes because they don’t want to talk to RoboMallCop.
