OK so what is a Neko

plus its not beatiality on the same level as some other things in SL anyway.. dragon avs, horse avs, full quad animal avs... prim sex animals..etc... seen much of it. But its not real, so why's it matter?

I don't consider any of that to be even remotely like bestiality. The avs are more akin to humans dressing up in furry costumes in RL and the prim animals are just inanimate sex toys.

Bestiality would have to involve REAL animals and I don't believe any of those have mastered the intricacies of SL yet.

Just as our avs are representations of people, prim animals are representations of animals in my mind, which means that in SL it is beastiality. Of couirse in SL I consider it nowhere near as taboo or illegal or anything. Seen it in SL, done some things in SL I wouldn't in RL.. its not the same, but I can see how some would consider it so

Tha day cats figure out how to log in to SL is the day we should all be really worried.

That day may not be far away, a concept that anyone who loves and understands cats can surely relate to. I for one will welcome our new fluffly overlords.

Ohhh, you are not so right.

Ok, you say it isn't beastiality because as you said it "would have to involved a REAL animals" right. Now, keep this in mind for my next paragraph.

So, if this is true as you said Ann, then an adult avie having sex with a child or baby avie is ok then because it's not a REAL child or baby? HUH?

I'd love to hear the answer to this one. If it's good for one it should be good for the other, no?

Pretty female, yes. Minus the cat ears of course.

A while back I had a date to a formal event. I invited someone I had recently met at the time and she agreed to go with me. Right before going to the event she met me at my place. She looked beautiful with a nice gown, shoes, hair swept up and overall very classy.

But, when I looked closely she had ears just as this picture and when I checked behind her she had a freaking tail coming out her ass, right out the gown. This looked ridiculous and no way was she coming with me like this so I told her so.


You like to dress up as an animal or whatever else floats your boat it's fine but there's a time and place for this. A formal event is not the time to go with ears or a tail sticking out your back.

Isnt a Neko a candy? A Neko Wafer?

And to be beastiality, there would have to be a REAL animal involved. Not some weirdo dressed up as an animal.

Some folks just have problems distinguishing between "Real" and "Virtual".

By the same argument of "virtual sex between a human & animal" or even "virtual adult & child" would also make one a murderer in RL if they play any video games involving killing a bunch of pixels.

Anotherwords, you're still hoping, someday, to get some nooky.




LOL! You must embarass easily! But oddly, I have to agree there. Took a while for my fiancee to catch on to this too. There's a time & place to be "goth-y" and "not goth-y". And sometimes its just fun to poke at the 'normalicy' of modern culture. Just gotta know when & where.

You also haven't answered my question above. You're simply repeating what Ann said.

You're repeating it's not Beastiality cause its not a real animal involved. Same thing she said. So in sl an adult having sex with a baby or a child isn't real either yet, it's not allowed.

Why? Yet, having sex with an animal is?

Oh, no one has trouble distinguishing the two: Real and Virtual. And yes. it's all dress up so its all the same but one is allowed but not the other? Don't try bringing anything else to the mix. Just a plain and simple answer as to why the difference? There is none.

It's the same double standard.

On the contrary.

And yes, you do have to know when and where. Unfortunately, it's not always the case. Some catch on faster then others.

I think both are creepy personally, but having virtual sex with a bunch of animal-shaped prims is not the same as cybering with another person portraying a child, especially when you have no absolute way of knowing whether that person might actually BE a child. There is potential for harm with the latter, but not with the former.

I'm leaving furries out here, because that translates to a RL fetish which is entirely legal.



I disagree. Ann is ALWAYS Neko, unless she's in costume for something. She's my virtual representation in SL and I'm uncomfortable running her any other way...it feels false. I wouldn't change her to please others anymore than I'd change my RL-self.

Right on! I know just what you mean... my av has horns, and the only time I (grudgingly) remove them is at concerts where no prim attachments are allowed at all. Otherwise, I wear them all the time, 24/7. I'd feel wrong any other way, I wouldn't be me. If people can't accept you as you are, that's their loss. I think your cat ears are lovely.

Now you're assuming. Forget about throwing assumptions into this for a second. Let's say they're both adults. Now what?

The question was, isn't it the same thing as having sex with animals? Isn't as dispicable as having it with a child? I believe the answer is yes even with assumptions and arguments.

The difference here or one of a few reasons is animal and anything and everything involving them are profit makers so therefore it's not viewed as being dirty as sex with a child. They sell all types of animals and items related to them as well as sex objects.

But in the end it's the same dirty thing, no more, no less.

I know a fair few people RL who like girls who wear cat ears or bunny ears as part of a fetish outfit. None of them are into animals ... it's demeaning to paint everyone the same.

I've recently put on ears and a tail ... and also new hair, new tattoos (because they were so very lovely and intricate, like henna paintings) ... I don't see, personally, that the neko things are any more or less a statement than the fabby pair of shoes I bought. Why this thread is rumbling into kiddie sex and bestiality is beyond me. (Not aimed at Ricardo here, just in general).

Amen Sister! (I think I have read every book he has ever written) And SL comes close to some of the worlds he has written
Last night I went to a costume/dance competition at a new club that just opened up. My main GF had given me...no sure how to describe it; some sort of Gorean male slave tassel thong thingy with matching arm bands...There I was wearing this crazy outfit looking like a Chippendale dancer my ponytail flying everywhere...well she and I won the contest hands down. ANYWAY......One of the club dancers is a very very sexy Neco woman who owns a specialty shop with customized Niko clothing and animations. After the dance we got to talking (& my girl was hesitant at first) well, we went window shopping at several Neco stores. And a whole new world opened up before me...knew now what I have wanted to be in SL. I purchased my tail and ears and my girl FELL IN LOVE with a sexy Neko skin for herself! I didn’t have to say a word...except WOW! And AWSOME! Last night I made sever new Neko friends; people who are independent free and passionate. What Ann quoted from the grandfather of Science Fiction (Robert Anton Heinlein) is so very true! The Neko race has been misunderstood. If I want to be in a regimented RP with strict RP guidelines, (which I HATE with a purple passion) then I best join the BORG. Not so with the Neko they are VERY independent, they are EVERYWHERE, and they are not going away (especially because of the way they breed) so staring today, when I get home and log on you will see a new me... LOL...a Neko Chippendale dancer! Well that is my little pitch for the Neco race. There are a few things I would like to say about the Neko women and how wildly passionate they are, but this post would wind up being censored! Women and cats will do as they please!!! And in SL they usually do!

LOL well I thought I looked better, and my intended audience was more than delighted ... but I can't empathise with this!

LOL well I thought I looked better, and my intended audience was more than delighted ... but I can't empathise with this!

Well I can re the wildly passionate but that has nothing to do with the Neko bits, believe me!

Oh yeah ... and positive sweeping generalisations are still sweeping generalisations. I've met plenty of miserable, attention seeking and generally toxic people of all persuasions including nekos.

Usually I've learned to keep my tail out of these discussions, but let's see if it catches fire. While I am not a fur (as in furry) in RL, I do have friends who are so really I'm reiterating their beliefs, which mostly do jive with me.

There is a difference between someone in a fur suit and an animal. The extent to which the person in a fur suit wishes to be synonymous with the animal representation is different for every person. Screwing someone in a fur suit is NOT bestiality. You're screwing a human in a costume. It's really difficult to see a fox avatar as a fox just as it is to see a human in a fox costume as a fox. I've seen some great SL furry avs... but at the end of the day, they are furs in delightful virtual fur suits -- not animals.

Moreover, neko are mythical creatures. Those with a desire for more than feline attachments land themselves in the category of furry, and in essence are wearing fur suits.

By that rationale, your comparison is invalid. A child is a child regardless of the human portraying them -- end of story. A human in a fur suit is just damned warm and weighted down from the costume... unless they're in SL... then they can have the time of their SL lives without restrictions!

So... you know... I really can't put sexual child abuse and fur suiting in the same category. I will, however, put sexual child abuse and any form of rape in the same category. But the last thing I want to do is spark a depressing debate about these sad topics. My point was to clarify the above.

A little bit of forethought, sensitivity and research go a long way to prevent sweeping statements as you've made, Ricardo. I don't wish to start a flame war, and I should probably have left this well enough alone, but I hate to see stuff like this out there unchecked.

Peace and information


PS: THE CANDY IS "NECO" (not neko)... AND NECO ARE YUM AND SHOULD BE THE OFFICIAL CANDY OF NEKO!

So have I darling, so have I... But REALLY...can we stereotype or make an attempt at censorship where all Neko's are concerned? I really feel some people feel threatened (or jealous) of someone they don’t understand. The way I see it Nekos are having all the fun! (Isn’t that what SL is about?) Nekos are comfortable with whom they are, they are comfortable with their sexuality; not so with all the socially retarded prudes and perverts I have met in SL. I have only met ONE Neko who was toxic...Just one. Unfortunately, have seen first hand the unwarranted griefing and prejudiced committed against Nekos. You know the way I see it some people have NO imagination, they are so anal that they want SL to resemble RL to the tee. Well if that's the case they might as well STAY in RL and live and let live...and leave those alone who want to make SL a fantasy world. After all, we can ALL be who we want to be in SL, as long as we don’t hurt someone in the process. The real TOXIC people are those who try to regulate, limit, and stifle the creativity, freedom, and imagination of other people.

Have you ever been to an 'adult' costume party? LL is trying to protect themselves and distance themselve from any potential lawsuits as to where child pornography laws are concerned in the USA (LL is in the USA) however beasiality is not nessisarily against the law on a federal level, that is left the each state to regulate at the state level. World wide we see more and more countries making a stand against child pornographyand child molestation; handing out severe penalties now in many places. Honestly, I have not heard of many instances In the USA where someone is prosecuted for loving sheep. OK...so in SL the PERSON (not animal) behind the avi is ususlly a consenting adult and not a child, it is not the actual CHILD avi that is illigal, it is the PERCEPTION of the act with a child avi that is causing all the legal flap (world wide). I have not seen any courts go after LL when it comes to Furry or Niko sex. I have only seen the comments raised by individuals who have a difficult time reconciling their sensibilities in thier minds when it comes to the 'adult' activities of others. again, this may stem from the social mores and culture that they are acustomed too. A Neco certainly has human traits, (anthropomophic) so we cannot really call it beastiality can we?

I thought the question was, 'what is a neko?' And that seems to have been answered pretty completely. Don't know why controversy and drama have to be dragged into the discussion.

Because Ricardo is always just a bubbly ray of sunshine?

The candy is Necco. Usually the wafers, but also of course the candy hearts etc. http://www.necco.com/

People used to say the candy glowed because MIT's nuclear reactor was next door.

Now they have moved to lovely Revere ... giving rise to a whole OTHER set of reasons why the candy might be glowing.

NECCO!!! That's it! Thank you. God those things are good. Nuclear reactor... giggles. No wonder they tasted so weird and addictive!
