To be fair, after motion pictures was initially invented, audiences are legitimately frightened by things that were happening on-screen. Yet here we are today with over 100 years of cinematic history and nearly everyone watching some form of entertainment at home.
I have a feeling that future generations will simply know how to mentally process VR in a way that fully grown adults can't easily adapt to.

For what it's worth, there's no record of that ever happening. There's been no account of this sort of thing, even in newspapers of the era, which at the time tended to exaggerate spectacles with catchy headlines, nor are there any police reports describing panic. As far as we know, people enjoyed the film and sat and watched it just fine.
Unless we come up with a way to override the inner ear I can't see future generations being able to mentally process away the sickness that comes with VR motion.
