Inclusive Communities and Representations of Violence against Women

That is what the paedophiles said about their 'ageplay'.

That argument didn't wash then, and it doesn't wash now.

Rock

Simple, there was no implied use of force. The OP wants to use force to stop opinions she doesn't like.

Please leave Petunia out of this. She is ok with the new plural relationship involving the pie.

I wouldn't ban consenting ageplay between adults. So it did wash with some of us.

Rock:

So the spread of pornography from your example resulted in people experimenting ...

Trying out something other than missionary, hand jobs, and blow jobs...

Is that a bad thing when it's between consenting adults?

IIRC the UK still has bans on anal sex between consenting adults...

A person is responsible for making decisions.

A book doesn't make someone do anything, an image doesn't make someone do anything, a song doesn't make someone do anything...

A person makes themselves do something.

What you and many others forget is... the root of the problem lies with the person who chose to act on their urges and desires.

There are many studies done to promote this or that that are biases from the get go...

They do not consider how something might be a release of a fantasy or urge in a manner that prevents actually carrying it out...

After all look at the amount of people that enjoy pictures of the naked body, both atheistically and sexually. They far outnumber those who look at those pictures and act on the urges they have... because it's a choice they make.

The books and magazines didn't make those killers do a damn thing, they chose to do it.

I've played violent video games, watched action movies, etc... And yet I don't go out and duplicate what I have seen... nor do the majority (and that is a simple look at the numbers... look at the number of people that have viewed your favorite action flick... and how many have gone out and reenacted it.)

To be blunt, the ban on imagery that is made by consenting adults and not an actual assault on the persons in it (meaning no real snuff, rape scenes, etc) should not be banned.

If they committed an actual crime making the pictures or movie, then they should face the proper punishments.

Making it so that a man taking shots of his wife in rope bondage or suspended is a crime... is just moronic.

so lets ban all violence in sl, meaning combat sims...

It's not really murder, but it's still violence!

That's quite a strong accusation.

Can you cite any remarks I've made that support such a characterization?









So you're saying that according to your definition, opinions and perceptions are not based on anything?

They are not inspired by anything?

One would think that if you want to claim the OP 'feels annointed', you'd have come to that view based on some particular remark or remarks that the OP made.

But.......no? Your claims about How The OP Feels and What The OP Assumes aren't based on any particular remark or remarks that the OP made?

???

Why is there an assumption that vanilla's are pure and don't rape and bdsm-ers do?

Do people with shoe fetishes all steal shoes?

Now you've really got me intrigued. In which post or posts does the OP express this "want"?

I can't speak for Meltia, but I got that "anointed" feeling from the OP when she first used the word "allow". All her following posts just reinforced this thought. Then when you pair it with the "agenda" of her partner in posting, what other conclusion could a reasonable person draw?

She/they/their group want censor and ban in SL.

She has talked repeatedly about "compromise" and "giving up just a little of our freedoms", how does she enforce this without the use of force? She has repeatedly connected RL behaviour and fantasy behaviour, saying that the former should mean the latter is banned. How does she enforce this except at the point of a gun? Does she come out and say "The thought police will kick down your door and drag you to a reeducation camp."? No, but if you read her posts you can see she would love that idea if you thought a way she didn't approve of.

Let's ban it in mainstream movies, TV, and video games, too. Playing "Grand Theft Auto" should be punishable by consecutive life sentence for each virtual homicide you commit.

/sarcasm

How come insane levels of non-consensual violence completely acceptable in those contexts, yet roleplay BDSM consensual "violence" must be stopped at all costs?

Nope, it's legal between consenting adults (over the age of 16) and has been since 1967.

Until recently though, the age of consent for gay men to have anal sex was 21. There was a big campaign in the Nineties to reduce this to match the heterosexual age of consent for anal sex (16) but this wasn't passed until 2000.

Now in good ol' Ireland, homosexual sex was banned until - wait for it - 1993.

Ain't Wikipedia grand?

Think of the children.

The change will affect just about everybody in one way or another. There is a good starting reference point here on the independent wiki

http://www.slapt.me/wiki

Its becoming a good starting point for those not wanting to plough through the masses of threads Feel free to pass the url around and please have a read as private sims will be affected. It goes far beyond mainland.

The use of "Legislative Force".

Because it disturbs the op and others that consenting adults do it.


Much like some get upset if a woman puts on a schoolgirl outfit...
Or a person wears a furry avatar...
Or a guy has sexual or even a loving relationship with another..

The list goes on

It basically boils down to my dislike should be the moral ground stone for everyone.

It still has a large man with a gun behind it, no matter how much you pretty it up.

Hey! You can't think of them THAT way! Stop it, or I'm reporting you.

It was banned in some quite harsh form in one state of Australia until the 90's too. Bloody mental.

Sometimes you don't even need that, just a nice smile and a teleprompter.

i'm just wonder..do people really believe that pornography or violent videos would create people that would go out and do these things?

take a serial killer or serial rapist for example..
would signs show up early in life or after they have reached maturity and adulthood?

Unless recent studies have changed the consensus, signs show up quite early. Usually with the torture of small animals, setting of fires, and a few other behaviours.

Since most British housewives think Eastenders is a documentary I wouldn't underestimate the copycat principle.

Pep (If you couldn't imagine it in the first place then you wouldn't think of doing it, whatever it was.)
