You didn't understand my answer, obviously.

They couldn't "ghettoize" Zindra unless they refused to add regions to it to meet demand as everyone moved from Bowdleria to Zindra.

You obviously do not understand the word "hypothetical" either.

If they performed the change in the grid you're hypothesizing, the result would be as I'm hypothesizing. It's called the law of unintended consequences.

I chose mature.Zindra style of SL is not up my street.



This ^^ Plus, for my lifestyle, I could also be perfectly happy on PG land. I just never see much of it.

I would go for Adult. Not because I engage in activities that are labeled "adult" but because I think there would be less headaches.
I'd expect it to be more tolerant and less issue-obsessed than a partially PG realm.

I would expect a welcome absence of self-appointed moral vigilantes. Since I'm an adult, I'm quite able to navigate away from things I don't want to see all by myself.

Also, I'm pretty sure that most of the people I know and like would be there.

ETA - the four posts before mine, from Immy, Ceera, Aeslyn, and Brieanne - I agree with those sentiments completely.
.


Exactly my sentiments! If I want to create an erotic piece of art and display it, I don't want anyone telling me it offends them and to take it down! Being an adult means you have the mental and emotional maturity to engage in or with what you like, and disregard what you don't like. Certainly I’ve view works of “art” that I thought were tasteless or obscene but rather than make a big deal out of it I just moved on and forgot about it... just not my cup of tea. Certainly I might comment to a friend how repugnant I thought something was but it stops there, unless it is bluntly illegal or is causing harm to someone unable to cope with it... such as a child etc... So, sign me up for adult every time. I’ve been a child and an adolescent, now I’m an adult!

even though I like some extreme violence now and then and therefor would need adult I would stick with mature/pg because I do not want some slutty dressed frankenbarbie burst in on my activeties, they freak me out. ok the freaking out is a sarcastic reference to people who say child avatars freak them out every change they get but other then that I don't want slutty escord ladies disturbing my roleplay, the slutty chearleader can stay till the first killing scene ;)

Slutty dressed frankenbarbies are PG.

The change I described is, of course, almost impossible in practice.

Pep (But apparently there are a considerable number of other respondents who still retain the imagination to believe in impossible things)

Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.

I also feel that most of the pie would end up in Adult, so a vote for pie is a vote for Adult.

Adult. I am not interested in most of what is available on Zindra, but I imagine, were it to come down to this kind of choice, Zindra and adult rated estates would diversify pretty quickly to include the sorts of things that I would be missing in Mature or PG.

Were I proven wrong, and Adult remained pure sex, I'd get bored after a fairly short time, and just leave, I guess.

Why would I choose an option that would allow someone else to censor MY activities? It makes no sense.

PS. What the hell is going on with all of these new threads by Pep? Has Jig really gained access to your password? Is she holding a gun to your head?

Adult.

That gives me the options for all 3 rolled into one. Since both PG and Mature can happen on Adult land as well, i am not limited to either/or.

Oh what a tough choice. I wanted to pick Adult because even though I don't have a SL sex life at the moment, I might want to one day. I hate being restricted and feel really ripped off by the changes.

Then I thought about my Jessie parcel and my "home" parcel on another very old sim and that swung it for me - PG/Mature. The longer I am in SL, the more I care about places, and not just land.

Also, all the best stuff goes on in IM in any case (or so I have heard ;))

I am Adult = Freedom to do as I choose as long as I don't break ToS/CS

I am an adult. I signed up for a service for adults only. A service in which I expect to be free to act as an adult with other people who are also adults. Where I don't have to worry about some pathetic loser from a group of vigilantes looking over my shoulder to make sure I'm not doing anything that might offend their oh-so-precious delicate sensibilities.

For this reason if I was forced to make a choice, I would permanently turn my back on all G and PG sims and not even shed a tear.

We are all adults and we had best start acting like it before we are no longer allowed to be adults. Nuff said.

I wanted to demonstrate that threads on a Friday could be contentious yet civilised.

I'd just point out that, given the stated assumptions, the separate "Adult-capable grid" would be very different from Zindra as it is now.



Another assumption, built on a long chain of assumptions.

Since I dont engage in explicit sexual activity or display such content in SL it's really no contest for me. If I decided down the line to have an erotic gallery I'll just make one in Zindra. No big woop.

I dont see it as ghettocizing it at all. I see it as focusing a demographic. If they want to see erotic or sexual art, they'll have a head start and know which continent to find me.

Since I find the most vocal representatives of the sexual and adult oriented community here more immature than any other subculture in SL, it's not likely I'll invest in the time or effort to make a presence on Zindra.
