Is it 'lying' to have a realistic profile that is not true?

Go to it? why? its hard to see notices those sites. ....again the its so sad how many have degraded how one looks at japan and its people.


My point is, a large proportion of the people on those sites are Japanese. So how, then, can it be the fault of the West? When it's your young men who are purporting themselves on the internet in diapers, you need to look closer to home for the cause.

I'd suggest that 2000 years of sexual repression given a sudden release in second half of the 20th century is a more likely cause.

How come the man doesn't put his wife's veil as the end of the marriage ceremony?

Since that is when men generally start lying to their wives.


Not all men lie to their wives.. Just some do... But on the same hand (SOME) wives lie to their husbands.

This is Second life.... Anything can happen here.. Truth, lies, what ever. I only know a few people who are them selfs here. The rest are Role players and that is fine as well.

Of course, but the game content is created by the users. Personally though, when I look at Manga I mostly notice people killing each other in awesome ways, and gigantic robots. I also think that those are the things most people enjoy in Manga too. Cartoon sex is just thrown in for the minority of buffoons.

Your saying one thing then switching to another....... My point is why is occuring. Because western people only views japanese women as weak controlable objects. Look at the content. I really don`t know what your getting at but. Manga is what brings many western people on to the second life simulations............Since what 80% of the game is mature........On a flash back notice i have a old friend on sl that designed japanese goods on sl. He did a wonderful thing building them. Thos older days on sl were easy content was a little strange at times BUT NOW OMG all i see is hen type manga objects and horney users playing japanese avies........its just sick

Well I don't know much about Hentai, but I'm sure these people make up a minority of users. Personally I'm more interested in samurai and gigantic robots - and I think most normal people are too.

Well the boom of those that like Hen style of manga really is becoming a problem. In rl in japan there are many people that cant tell the diff between the real world and the the manga world. Is becoming a social problem here, just like it is around the world. So when i come on to sl and se the same social actions occuring in rl it gets tiring. Yes its those taht want to play ther role playing style. But when you have people mostlymen trying to have sex with you as they are dressed as women on sl and they are rally men. it becomes worse then rl and sexual harrasment.

Well, that's kind of my issue though. They _appear_ to be providing information about their first life but they may only appear that way to you. It's possible that, even since they left Orientation Island, they've been in a city-based RP sim where a thirtysomething cop is a perfectly legitimate RP.


In your example was it in this person's SL or FL profile? If it was in their SL profile, then I'd assume they were either RP'ing a cop or just confused about which info should be in which profile. If it was in the first life section, and it wasn't true in RL, then it would be dubious.

As for the furry sim, I think that's unfortunate. It's their right to run their sim however they want, and considering all the anti-furry griefing that goes on I can't blame people for being touchy, but it's ironic how easily people who feel persecuted become persecutors.

I have to say though, in my year and a half in SL, I've never actually met any of these people you're talking about. So I can only conclude that they are not, infact, as widespread as you believe. I have, however, met many people who roleplay samurai, ninjas and giant robots - or atleast what their Manga-adled brains have led them to believe samurai and ninja to be like, instead of just the mercenaries and hired thugs they actually were.

I thought it was okay, except the bit where the restaurant owner eats his wife's lover's genitals.

Duh, that was The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover. Sheesh. Get your movies straight.

Of course! How could I be so stupid and/or how could no one else get the reference i was making.

So which one was the Lion, the Asian and the Profile again?

I've always told my significant others:

"If I EVER even come CLOSE to that" (pointing to a very large person) "Please just collar and leash me to the bumper of the car and start driving. Slowly. Enough to make me run really hard, for days."

Not meaning to be overly critical -

But arent those sexualized anime and the actual Hentai all produced/manufactured in Japan?

The dubbed stuff is an EXPORT.

As is the Japanese bondage Porn.

Its all Japanese language stuff originally isn't it?

I agree that Japanese women shouldn't be portrayed negatively in such. But the same could be said for women in dozens of countries.


It seems Usagi is basically complaining that some Western people like to buy the hentai and porn manufactured by Japanese and exported from there.

That point had occurred to me too. It's hardly suprising that some second life users view Japanese culture in this light - given that that's how the Japanese themselves are chosing to portray their own culture.

I don't think they portray women negatively - just as sex objects, that's all. What's wrong with that?
