Sex Beds Banned in PG land

Blondin asked that question because sex beds in (PG) have been against the rules all along. The concept of someone actually getting away with it is alien to someone who understands the rules as they are and always have been. (=_=)

If they're "Making up" these policies just now, why is it me and people like me have this awareness that the policy has been in place all along? (=_=)

'tis true! I've come across some of 'em myself over the last three+ years, most recently about 5-6 months ago with one of their members who was attempting to entrap kid avvies with the old "come with me, I have some candy " line (no, really!). Trouble is, kid avvies network, so we all got to hear about it. He was trying to get them to go somewhere where he could somehow "prove" we were all bad and AR us. An they say I'm th weird one!



Indeed.

People who are easily offended seem to have little trouble defining this. But people who are more open minded have a lot of trouble understanding terms like 'Broadly Offensive.' We need specific details because, well, if you can't manage to get offended by something, its hard to see why its going to offend anyone...

(I wanted to say, once you get open minded its hard to get so close minded, but I know a number of ex-hippy types who now live on the conservative right - which makes me have doubt about them ever having actually been liberal, but that might also be my own limited worldview failing to understand them.)

Of course, what is Broadly Offensive changes over time. Miscegenation for example - though its still 'patently offensive' among the far right, can no longer be called broadly offensive at least in the US. Likewise the list of what is Broadly Offensive gets larger every time a conservative faction gets into power.

That's naivety, bordering on denial. Using your own analogy, that's like a cop being surprised people are speeding. Are Lindens all so binary in thought that they don't take into account human nature? A certain percentage of people will always flaunt rules and laws?

To be honest? For some, "It's just a job." (^_^)y

Political Conservatism does not always equate close mindedness or being easily offended. I would be considered Conservative by most definitions, but I am almost impossible to offend. Meanwhile, there are those who call themselves Liberals who are the most whiney, Politically Correct people walking the planet.

The danger in not defining "Broadly Offensive" in the context here is that it is being used for essentially Law Enforcement in SL. How can a law be enforced when the parameters are undefined. Telling someone to report what they feel is offensive is one thing, but now what does the person reading the report do? Does he go by what he "feels"? There has to be consistency in definition and application.

I don't want my av to go blind so I'm going to let him jerk off just long enough that he needs glasses.

I wonder how much time Lindens spend in-world on average.

Add: For the time they ARE in-world, how much time do they spend on the open grid at-large and not in their protected shut-in sims? (=_=)

What I was criticizing was not the fact that sex beds were not and would continue to not be allowed on PG land.

What I was criticizing was that Blondin had to ask if people used/sold sex beds on PG land currently.

If Linden Lab doesn't know anything about whether its current policies are enforced, then that shows they have absolutely no plan to enforce a new policy.

If Linden Lab isn't aware that sex beds are on PG land now, that is another fact pointing to the fact that the "research" Linden Lab did, to discover how many people would be affected by the new Adult policies, was never done.

If Blondin has to ask the question, it shows both that Blondin doesn't spend a lot of time on the grid.

And it shows that, again, Linden Lab is not serious about follow-through with the policy if no one at Linden Lab can spend the ten minutes (or less) to confirm that there are sex beds all over PG land now.

Anyone serving as a Linden Lab spokesperson probably needs training on what to do with a question to which the spokesperson doesn't know the answer. Responding with surprise that there are sex beds on PG land looks foolish. Responding that one doesn't know how pervasive sex beds are on PG land, but one will look into it immediately, is at least responsible and professional.

In regards to PG...... the Lindens will agree with you there. (^_^)

What I don't get is that the sex pose balls are very cartoonish, they aren't really porn at all. I can't see they would get people off like porn might.

I mean if people were showing xxx porn all over SL then maybe there'd be a validity to all this whoo haa.

They pretty much are the equivalent of the idiots in DC who don't know what's going on outside the Beltway, aren't they?

Google: Hentai Anime. (^_^)

Yeh I had a mate into that, it's kind of lush art.

To me it's the cartoonish aspect of it that makes it verge on un-sexual.

I guess some poses are symbolic of a sentiment the avatars may have to ech other. But yeh, it's not like it is pornography.

This is why it has always violated my intuition that minors who wanted to look at "dirty" material would go to Second Life to find it.

In Second Life, it takes a lot of work to find low-quality pornography.

On the world-wide-web, one can find high-quality, free pornography that is very easy to access.

I just have to believe that the kids looking for porn are going the easiest route with the quickest and most satisfying payoff.

SL is to adult in its concepts for children full stop. "Broadly" so.

I think children would come to Sl for sure, but yeh, I agree, watching adults tud tud away in cartoon form and not that good a cartoon form at that wouldn't hold them.

That said, LL should fire up the teen grid a bit for them, there'd be heaps of scripting talent among their generation.

This ^^
=================
people complained enough over the past few years about the mature sims and things on them..but didn't realize when theyask for one thing they may get exactly that and everything that comes with it..LL is only doing what the residents were asking for..just like with bots and camping..

so where is the problem? lol

I'm certainly not upset, although I have my doubts as to how well this will be enforced. My guess is very poorly.

I was really just on my anti-BS campaign again. Not you, or anyone else, has even a shred of evidence that any of this came about, do to any actions by PG landholders.

it really doesn't matter how it came about..
people were asking for this and people are getting a full version of what they were asking for and not liking that it is including their area as well..

a lot of people were saying to them..be careful what you ask for because you may just get it..

here we are today..

I, for one, am asking for a complete eradication of PG sims and PG sim rules. Parcel owners get to make their own rules anyway. All I wanna do is casually wear a sheer shirt or some cute pasties once in a while. =^-^=

If it doesn't matter how it came about, why did you "This" to someone that insinuated that if was caused by PG landholders?

There is lots of it, thousands of search results when I look for sexbed and adult animations on PG land, read my post #2 in this thread.

1) I actually know a few people that rent or own on PG land and never ever considered what happened in the privacy of their bedroom to be a violation of the PG rating.

2) So in our new PG Disneyland world, parents are no longer allowed, in the privacy of their own bedroom, to do the very activity that created their children? Hmm, so the parents in SL Families have to now have 2 homes -- one where they live with their kids and one where they can make more kids.

This goes more overboard every day.

my personal opinion, and it is just that... Mine... They should have never been in a PG sim anyway.... BUT

Are kissing poseballs alowed? What about close dancing? Can we hold hands and cuddle?

Well. Im not in a PG sim and usually dont go unless its to a class and honestly there is no place for them there, unless you are building... I guess they wont be having a make a dildo class at the edu sims anymore..... "sigh"
