What The Hell Is Going On !!!!!

Ok i'm a tolerant person, I can accept pretty much all of peoples decisions on how they live thier lives and the choices they make. But and this is a big but. The one thing I wont tolerate is paedophilia.

I've noticed during my short time as a resident of this world, that there are a number of groups and businesses that are for so called "age play". I'm sorry if i'm missing the point here, but since when did the portrayal of child abuse become acceptable ?
Is there something wrong with people, did the whole world go crazy and I missed it ?

I'm seriously considering boycotting second life for this very reason. So far i've read a few threads from people that are just as concerned about this as me.

How is it that people can make a business with descriptions like and I quote "This is my Daddys business an where we live an play an entertain Daddys men friends." umm since when were children considered an entertainment medium ?

How anyone can call this innocent and harmless is beyond me. Knowing a victim of child abuse this deeply upsets and worries me that linden aren't taking a more pro-active stance on this. If this was the real world there would be jail cell doors slamming. I got no problem with people role playing as kids, thats fine. If you want to do that thats your thing not mine be free to get on with it as you will. But when I see a house with spanking chairs and other such devices that cater for so called "age play" I get angry. It almost makes me want to join the griefers and dish out some much deserved justice. But i'm a bigger person than that, and I wont sink to that level.
Come on lindens what are you doing about this ?

This will not end well......



again

Please please just let them be, seriously...
It is among adults and well its among adults, if a man wants to run around in a diaper its none of your beeswax

It is when my plot is right next to it, fantasy or not, its sick.

Linden isn't doing anything because:
-Many age players do not engage in sexual activites with child AV's, many create SL families, hang out with others their age, and etc.
-Those who do have adult-child AV sex, remember these are adults behind the avatars...consenting adults.
-Playing as a child doesn't mean you are no longer capable of making adult decisions.
-It's none of your business what people do on their land. Go home.

i am NOT commenting on my opnion on it... I am simply saying mind your own business or move.. we all have neighbors we don't like, you either put up iwth it or get an island.. :/

i do apologize if this comes out harsh...

Poor, poor beat up dead horse

*sigh*

*sigh* one of the reasons I picked a PG lot.

Bye

meh. This topic has been hashed over so many times that it's insane.
This will not end well, or even at all.

Beastality is illegal in some states, will they ban furries?
Slavery is illegal in all states, will they ban Gors?

I really really wish we the had the dead horse smiley over here.

that's ok. just steal someone elses!

States ? omg another person that thinks america is the whole world, im in england, don't talk to me about states. Im not talking about beastiality or slavery, im talking about child abuse, hellooooo, did you hit ur head ?
I can see my efforts are wasted, none of you care enough that these sick indivuduals are allowed to carry on. All i can say is I hope your not all the same in the real world, cos if you are then something is very wrong with society.

I'm already in trouble today, stealing dead horses might be a hangin' offense

No. You're not. You're talking about widdle pixellated avatars.

No polygonal actually. So lets say for example they make a game for retail sale, and in the game you have to abuse children, would you allow it to be sold ?

So you can actually tell the difference between real children and avatars. Well, that's something at least!

What the original poster seems to forget here is that ...

There is NO CHILD involved
There is NO CHILD involved
There is NO CHILD involved

There are two adults sitting at computer screens

There is NO CHILD involved

/me gazes at deep, beaten hole in the ground in the shape of a dead horse and walks away shaking her head.

Ever heard of Lunch Money?

Yup, in the real world, child abuse is a sickening crime.
This is Second Life squiz, and children aren't allowed in.
Ergo, no matter how it looks, Age Play is not child abuse.

Now you've done it. Now the thread spirals into arguments about not being able to tell if thats true through lack of signup verification.

Exactly how old are these AVs? We need hard facts here!

Some dirty pose balls we can get avatar prints off of wouldn't hurt either.


Seriously, can't we turn our attention to something really disgusting? Bling! Spamming objects! Griefers! Bling!

Well, I really hate bling. *shrug*
