👉 A platform weapon, often referred to as a platform-based weapon or a platform attack, is a type of offensive tool designed for use on digital platforms such as online gaming environments or social media. These weapons typically involve creating a virtual object, image, or message that can be projected onto the target's screen or displayed in a prominent manner, often with the intent to intimidate, disrupt, or provoke. Unlike traditional physical weapons, platform weapons are non-lethal and exist solely in the virtual realm, leveraging technology to manipulate perception and create a psychological impact on the target. They can be used to send threatening messages, display offensive graphics, or even simulate real-world violence to instill fear or alter behavior.
