SL closing down??

In my mind, it was right to correct incorrect speculation like this:


...because it didn't suggest CEOP had identified a specific problem at all. In actual fact, both Sky News and Five.tv broke the SL/Wonderland story at the end of October, and when their journalist approached CEOP CEO Jim Gamble for his response, that was his statement.

Likewise, the "substantial volume of legal and psychological case history suggesting a link between immersive fantasy and subsequent RL action" doesn't exist. There was no vague language used there... so I can understand why that would be a point of contention.

To be accused of "playing silly games" and being "ill informed" after correcting that kind of speculation surprised me, but admittedly, I could have handled those unprovoked slurs a little better afterwards, and I do apologise to Stephen for responding in kind.

Completely understood. He did still say "would seem" which isn't super conclusive in my mind...

News Media is a vulture, they will take anything and twist it into a story, I would imagine that the reporter himself shoul dbe implicated in something before anyone else, sounds like to me he was soliciting simulated child sex, just be cause your a journalist doesnt mean you can do things in the name of journalism

I must live in a really quiet neighborhood

I've found it less bizarre on the mainland then on the private island sims.

are you really this ugly inside?

My island must be the OldFolk's Home then..i did have that one neighbor, the Vamp Lady with the huge ugly castle who had the boyfriend who was into strange things.......

Rebecca, either you are truly very, very unlucky to have all these things happen to you, or you're lying. I'm sorry, I find what you describe as your experiences to be incredible. I will assume for the moment that you're unlucky.

What part of "REST OF THE WORLD" do you not understand?

It does sound very unlucky to me as well -- I have never seen ageplay at all in SL, for example, and I've lived on islands and the mainland, and have been involved in "minority sexual activity" for most of the time, but still I haven't come across it once. The only instance I saw of bestiality was a place where I knew it was going to be present, and I was curious to see what the place was about -- it's not my thing, so I didn't stay long, but outside of that, I haven't seen much of that at all in SL either.

Okay you quoted Stephan saying:

"you all come off sounding like the conflicted and slightly delusional minority that is the rest of the worlds stereotypical view of an SL citizen.

You're all right .. the world is nasty and vile and horrible and doesn't understand you at all."

Yes, here he is being defensive now after being flamed and his posts spun......

and yes I have to agree, that those flames and spins, do sound "like the conflicted and slightly delusional minority that is the rest of the worlds stereotypical view of an SL citizen."

I had an ugly castle and a "boyfriend" that I found was into strange things. Small World.

I quoted the post YOU quoted while lauding him for being so objective and non-judgmental. Perhaps you should have chosen a different one to support your assessment.



That just makes you judgmental too...unless you've gone out and polled the rest of the world to get their point of view.

I sure hope it wasn't Rebecca who was your neighbor, Brenda.

You don't honestly need a poll, to know that the "rest of the world" will disapprove of sexual ageplay, in virtual imagery.

What constitutes bestiality in SL?

Human av with furrie av?

If you just disable prims from the debug menus, doesn't it just become good ole regular sex again? Maybe they should change the label on that menu to "bestiality on/off".

Sloppy defense. What about all of the counties where it's still perfectly normal for girls marry at 12 and 13? Or Japanese Hentai? There seems to be a lot of underage action going on there.

Western cultural norms do not apply to the entire world.

If so then she was blissfully unaware of the goings on, as I was for a while till someone told me to up my draw distance and turn off camera constraints. My Sl was small fishbowl for some time.

Hehe, I guess I don't "count" furry (or semi-furry) AVs as bestiality, but then again it's a question of perspective.

The only UK media to comment on SL today that I have come across was a piece on the BBC PM radio programme about an hour ago that questioned whether jihadist groups may use VR worlds for organising terrorism.

i think he should be forced to give up his chat logs so everyone can see the entrapment for themselves. then we should boot his ass from Second Life.

Well Japan is a special case---and i've been there many times. Besides, there is plenty of social uproar concern in Japan about it.
