Child Speak and Customer Service

?

How did you mean that?

I think from talking to SL children, that the majority are doing what we all want to do at some time, throwing out adult worries and problems and having fun, Have you never seen a child engrossed in a game and thought how good it was to be that age.

As far as the therapeutic angle is concerned, I have also met some SL children who had a poor childhood, bad parenting for instance, and enjoy being part of a loving family that is as close to real as possible.

This applies to adults as well, I know a number who just want to be part of a family, possibly because they do not have a RL family for one reason or another.

The child sex thing keeps rearing its head in comments, I knew of 2 girls who were involved in that side when I first joined SL, 3 years ago, I have not heard of any in the last 2 years. Maybe that is because I dont go looking for it

Exactly how he stated it, in that way that has us both going "oh wow, did he just say all child avatars are playing child AVs because of a personal 'fetish' of some sort regarding playing a child av in SL?"

No. I think it is because in the past 2 years the child-av-sex thing has really blown up all over the grid and all the smart ones went into hiding inside private sims where they should have stayed in the first place instead of traipsing around the grid trying to make a kid avatar look sexy and acceptable.

If that was what he said, it would be incorrect.

But that isn't what he said.

Let's just say... Some diapers and pacifiers are RLV enabled. =^-^=

How about you clarify the matter since you obviously know and i have clearly displayed that i do not.

I am not getting the fetish part still....

I'd ask what "RLV enabled" means, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to know

No, you do not. Because i am still stuck on the 'why' and 'fetish' part regarding the matter and I am thinking none of it is good.

It's probably a bit of a departure from most kid avatars. But, diaper play is a humiliation fetish and often involves a bit of scat. The scripted diapers usually chat, change color, make noise, and drip. Each action adding to the humiliation of wearing one in public. (^_^)

And, I've seen a pacifier with a ball gag "mute and mumble" script. (^_^)y


( Even I'd like to know why I know this junk... (=_=) )

sigh...



Thank you anyways Immy, even though i wish i could unread what you posted...

Oh, there is a wonderful/horrible description of this sort of thing (minus the scripts) in Julian Barnes' England England ...

What he said was that he has the impression that the children who are "over the top" -- by which I guess he means the most babyish -- are in RL quite young. Maybe in the low 20s at most. And that he believes that this group is involved in satisfying a fetish, not in recapturing their childhood.

I have no idea what he's talking about, so I can't say whether he's right or wrong. But as far as I can see, that's what he said.

You said that he said that ALL child avatars have a fetish.

So I said etc. etc.

Anyway... I spent yesterday riding horseback around a child-friendly sim, then I skated around it. I ran into some people and chatted about nothing in particular. This is a typical day for me. If it seems fetishistic, then I don't know what to say.

I'm sure that some people do weird things, things I wouldn't want to see or even hear about. But I don't want to be stuck in the same bin as them just because I have a child avatar.

Well.. At least I didn't say.......

I can't speak for Holocluck, and I don't know what he was getting at, but there are other uses of the word fetish than the sexual one. It was originally an anthropological concept that has to do with a social group ascribing special or magical powers to an object. Think of a voodoo doll, for example, that would be a fetish.

Freud is the one who took the anthropological term and brought it into psychoanalytic theory--substituting body parts, or clothes, or sexual practises for the object and that oh-so-delightful kick-in-the-gut sexual charge for magical powers.

But, fetishization has also been used in other social theories, to talk about the way people or societies ascribe power, or exceptional or inherent value to other things or people or states. Usually when someone is talking about the fetishization of childhood, they're not talking about children getting it on; rather they're talking about the rarified, idealized state that contemporary North America makes childhood out to be. You know: that hazy, blurry lensed view of children that gives everyone the warm fuzzies (which, in my opinion, just shows how few adults remember what it was like actually being a kid).

I meant 20-40 AVs, not members. I think most of the people I know are in the 40-60 range in RL.

Well. I thought I'd heard or seen about it all in SL. Obviously I have not.

*throws up in my mouth a little*

looks like things got derailed a bit but ok here goes;

when people refer to fetish in relation to childish objects like gag pacis and daipers then they are not talking about ageplay but adult babies, they are closely related but the reasoning is differnt both in sl and rl.

adult baby mostly focuses on the helplessness and need to be taken care off while ageplay in general focuses more on the carelessness.
offcourse this is a generalisation and there are many sub groups that adds extra layers, for exsample the spanking/disapline scene, while it might look like that is a violent group the truth is that it is group that is very focused on emotions and it is not uncommen that teh adult behind the child cries or smiles or feels loved over the things that happen to their character.

obviusly it is rare for the sexual side of things (we all are adults behind the character afterall) to be part in sl but in real life this is acceptable, it is not something everyone engages in but nobody will think it is objectable, very likely because it is visualy clear we are adults behind the inner child in rl

It could well mean that. I'm hoping not.

Fetishising something isn't necessarily in a sexual way, is why I asked how he meant it. It could also mean that he thinks people make the whole thing a bit too 'precious.' A fetish can be something like putting a bit too much importance/value on something nearly to the point of obsession. But not necessarily in a sexual way - for instance making anything symbolic or a totem makes it into a type of fetish as well.

Wish he'd clarify.

LOL! Good one mate! If they didn't take a hint, I would probably start replying in either some bonza Aussie banter, faster than seein the bottom of an esky at a snag & grog bbq & lingo or just Kangaroo clicks
I can imagine when a non-english speaking merchant is trying to understand what is coming out of his translator. Purchasing issues aren't RP unless the merchant wants them to be.

Okay, all this real adults in diaper humiliation play is just REALLY GROSS. When does a fetish like that kick in? I never heard of a young person doing iit. That is JUST GROSS. If a boyfriend ever did that I would throw him outta my house before dust settled. EW!!!!

When this fetish becomes particularly gross is after you've visited a hospital ward for elderly people who have no choice but to be put in adult Pampers. There is nothing remotely erotic or sexy about it. I know of a particular avatar in SL who wears diapers in real life because of her condition, but she's created her "fetish"club because she believes she has a right to be sexual in spite of her disability.

Somewhere in this world; there is someone having some good clean fun doing the one thing you hate the most. (^_^)y
