Helloo Forum Fans.. I wondered as a forum regular whether it might be possible to persuade a prominent member (whom I can't mention..coff coff.. RF..coff cooff..} to change his 'forum' avatar. As an animal activist (in RL..and maybe in SL) it's a little offensive (but only a little).. Perre..  |

You can shut off avatars under usercp/edit options if you don't want to see it. |

OK I'll ask him, but I don't think he'll be too keen on it.

From: Brenda Connolly You can ask him, but I don't think he'll be too keen on it. I am a vegan. I'm also a Buddhist who takes his beliefs to such an extreme that I wont even smash a cockroach (I carry them outside). Yet, I see nothing offensive about his avatar. But if it really bothers you, then just ask. It can't hurt.

If you see something you don't like then don't look at it. Problem solved.

Thanks Perre, I didn't even realize there were avatar icons in these forums. Then again I normally use a text only browser to read them. [jumps into graphical browser, turns on avatar icons. oooo...bright lights and colors...retreats to the safe haven of monochrome] The rodent in question seems happy and content and has given me countless hours of thoughtful entertainment. I hope he never changes (too much).

I think it's cute, and not offensive at all.
Way more offensive things inworld to worry about. You should see what they are doing to people there.

What's wrong with the cute hamster? It still has its coat, it's in one piece. Not sure what could be offensive about that. I'm pretty sure that no live animals were harmed in the production of this avatar.  Now as for the BDSM hamster posted once in a recent thread, that may be another story.  |

Hey guys you know its all about consent, right? If the Hamster gets into the wheel of her own accord, and doestnt get out, when she clearly can, then its consenting. How many times have you folks got to be told? BDSM slavery is NOT like real life slavery. I mean, the little critter isnt even collared!!. Now if its a Gorean wheel, perhaps powering a watermill, or maybe the whole grid... err.... Get the whips out... make it run faster... imogen (teasing, just teasing, dont AR me) |

The little guy asked me to post for him, since typing always takes several days, that he is very happy that his Mistress chose him, and that he serves with pleasure.
