Child girl AV, sex with Adult male AV? is this right???

If we follow the logic here, 90% of cartoons should be illegal, what with all the sex and killing and stuff, won't someone please think of the cartoons maimed for life for our enjoyment???

</sarcasm>

Television commercials are exploitation of children; ageplay is not. There are no children involved, and no attempt made to involve children. In fact, it is purposefully undertaken in an environment where no children are present. You don't know what's going on in IM, much less behind either of those keyboards. Maybe it's some deep roleplay drawing on childhood trauma and unacceptable urges, or maybe they're peering through their fingers, simultaneously cringing and laughing, and maybe patting themselves on the back for fearlessly assailing the taboo. Seems to me the least likely option is they're trying to convince themselves it's a real child. If that's what they were after, they'd do much better on AIM.

How do you harm a child's image?

Did I miss the memo stating that pictures can feel pain now?

No one tells me anything...

You may not think it's harming someone, even if it's not there is still a law against this.

18 U.S.C. 1466A – OBSCENE VISUAL REPRESENTATIONS OF THE SEXUAL ABUSE OF CHILDREN

It is forbidden to knowingly produce, distribute, receive, or possess with the intent to distribute, a visual depiction of any kind, including a drawing, cartoon, sculpture, or painting

Wow this topic just keeps going and going.

On one hand you have people who have the moral authority of protecting children. I can see the viewpoint of people here who wouldn't want to have a child molested and wouldn't want to to encourage or even acquiesce to a pedophile or any person with the slightest sexual inclination to children.

On the other hand you have people who have the moral authority of protecting freedom. I can also see the viewpoint of people who want to protect the freedom here no matter what that freedom gives rise to. The best way to get rid of freedom is to chip it away bit by bit and that's what these people are trying to stop.

Therein lies the tragedy of this thread.

Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition (2002)
Mentioned earlier in this thread, go look it up.

Good point.

Didn't you get the memo? Challenged in court and overturned. The image must be indistinguishable from a real child to apply. Are you seriously telling me you've been on SL and actually been confused as to whether what's on the screen is a real person or a cartoon?

I've been confused by childishness content of this thread...

First off... as has been said above. You're incorrect.

Secondly...

nonononono... what you said was, and I quote,


Emphasis mine.

Those were your exact words.
So I ask again. How, exactly do you harm a child or hurt the image of a child.
How?

Erm... me?

But, eh, I was just thinking that I'm going to get a concussion if I keep this up.

/stabs self in eyeballs with dull pencil

-.-

I hearby hijack this thread in the name of brain injuries.

I think Pilman completely misses the point that im not talking about children. Im talking about two consenting adults partaking in something that is totally legal and has no recourse of being pedophelic or abuse or a child or the image of a child. The law in 2002 overturned much of the arguments. Its not even about protecting children in this argument at all its the fact that these are all adults not children. If SL was open for everyone to join this grid and teens were not banned then your argument would have some validity, but people under 18 are not to be on this grid.

It is partially about protecting someones freedoms here though as it is two consenting adults. Its not the image of a real child being used. Get to know some age players and find out what they are about before you start assuming the worst of them though you have no clue what its about at all. And while there may be people out there with urges for it in real life I think its better that they have something like SL where its gotten out there on an adult rather then in the real world taken out on a child. If a real life child was involved here i'd have a problem and a rather serious problem as would most of the people here, but dont confuse SL and RL because they are not even close to the same thing. Very few things cross over from SL into real life (business on occasion and mabye some relationships) but aside from that really not much crosses it. Most people keep their SL and their RL seperate.

I dont support pedophiles nor do i think its right in the real world or on chat clients were many underage children are, but we are in a world with age players where everyone is supposed to be an adult. If a kid is here they lied, punish the kid then not the other person.

A postcard is not a mountain.
A painting is not a bubbling brook.
A recording is not an orchestra.

I am not my av.
I am not a furry.
I am not a coyote.
I am not a spirit wyrmling.
I am not over six feet tall.

I find it odd that you cannot tell the difference between a child and an adult playing one.

You must be fun at school plays.

well, with no verification required any longer, there is really no way to *prove* that anyone is the required age on the mature grid.

That said, I tend to take the stance of "innocent until proven guilty", and assume that anyone playing on the mature grid is of age (even if not maturity level).

This is a tricky subject, as I have two daughters and one was stalked via the game Everquest several years ago when she was underage. Nothing happend to her, the police were involved, and they took care of it in his state.

On the other hand, I dislike censorship, and police-state attitudes. And.. what two consenting adults do with their online time, is their business. Maybe she likes being "daddy's little girl", even though she is 42... fact is.. you do not know...

I agree with the above ppl who asked why you were poking around their house. If it looks residential, assume it is and respect the locked door and dont go peering in windows. We have enough people in the real world trying to take away our privacy, thanks much.

This isn't 4chan, but:
**SAGE**

so im swamped here at work, and i can't help but go and check all silly threads..

and this one i feel needs to be derailed, as Lorelei Patel mentioned..

hey how bout i build a house and link the house and the furniture together, than i can find a nice sandbox and that can be my house? i might want to get locking doors... can ppl get through locked doors at?

oh oh and that made me think about dogs.. i want a guard dog that will go and attack people while im not on my land... the people behind me i am not to sure what to think of htem...

they built plywood.. -.- but im hoping they will cover it soon, surely right.. well i put a wall up and made it invisible on one side and made it phantom so they can't complain
wich makes me think of something else.. lol

so some seller has all this sell stuff in the middle of a resdential area, and it borders my land, is it toooooooooooo mean of me to put up a wall in front of it, but its clear on their side and not on my side, its phantom as well.
