Someone get the paddles; I'm getting no pulse here.
A Dragonheart reference?

You have to remember this is SL, normal real life rules don't apply, sure if you knew adult in real life, especially a man who told you he spent all day in a virtual world pretending to be a little bear you and all his friends would obviously make fun of him, and there isn't much he could say in his defence because lets be honnest for an adult it is pretty ridiculous but for many SL is all they have and they will defend it and their silly behaviour with a passion.

I can see hows the orginal poster would be confused. Most folk just think that avatars are just avatars, and it seems like alot of the furries I've met take their avatars a little more personally,even creating a character around it and roleplaying out animal traits. I think I am with you and the OP here. Like him, I don't "get" Furries, ever since I stumbled on "Brandy Shatner's Yiffing Pavilion & Island" (10/10 for naming chutzpah, 0/10 for erotic impact on Yours Truly...). It seems to me that the furry thing is mostly about isolating taboo activity, while still wanting to actually do it - the logic is; "nice law-abiding socially acceptable humans don't do [&perversity] so if I want to do [&perversity] I'd better dress up as [&animal], and then it's OK" This is more of that "SL as taboo research project" thing. If an adult wolf rapes a baby cat, is the essential nature of child abuse preserved enough for it to be illegal or to shock the assumed onlookers? Would they realise that an avatar is an abstraction, or would it "push their buttons"? Are people who get shocked even able to discuss the idea of shock, in isolation? These questions underpin most of the ettiquette-related forum threads, and indeed 90% of reality and daytime TV programming too. They seem to be inherently conclusionless topics - I suspect the OP doesn't realise that his position looks a lot like trolling, mainly because the same quirky questions will arise in a lot of brains, confronted with the way SL allows people to operate and the choices they all seem to be guided towards. |

Tawdry 'Red-Top' speciest rant... First off a big yawn to this troll thread and post which I've stayed away from for sensible reasons. However to put the trolls out of their misery I'll post this once: 1) For the record, I'm a dragon in SL. I don't 'do' human. 2) Generically dragons can be grouped in with furries. 3) Dragons fall into the scaley / reptilian realm of the furry / anthropomorphic universe. 4) We're not all here for 't3h furry s3cks'. Many of us are just as humdrum as your average human Joe or Jane except we prefer to have an anthropomorphic avatar. Get over it. 5) We're not all perverts. If you actually did a statistical analysis you'd find the the distribution of sexual kinks/perversions and/or lifestyle variations is not significantly different from the distribution of similar activities in the regular humanoid population. 6) Sex is universal. If you can't bear to see / hear of / experience / cognicise how creatures / beings / avatars / whatever procreate and/or have their fun then you have a very long way to evolve. You're not even capable of accepting the variabilities of pleasurable and/or recreational activities within your own species. How will you ever be able to deal with alien / extraterrestrial species when that bridge is reached? Meanwhile back to your regular programme consisting of faux-moral posturing brought to you by people who insist on everyone else being exactly like themselves because they're afraid of any form of difference... _____________________

It's never happened. Only one person has ever managed to land a punch on me and they took the cowardly route of sneaking up behind me during a rugby match. Pep (Not many have tried - I *was* a pro rugby player - and none have had the required combination of smarts and speed.) If you mention rugby once more I shall bore you stupid with my experiences AVOIDING field hockey at boarding school and then start telling you about how much I loved my pony. I am serious.

Vince Cannon of Northampton put six stitches in my head with his boot when I was 19. Pep (He was no Saint. ) How ironic that in all sl we actually do have something in common after all. A respect for The Saints. Mind you, The Cobblers are a major disappointment. Uncle D*** bought season tickets every year in the miserable hope of some sort of team epiphany. As far as cricket is concerned "County" is the best there is. Everyone else is a cheating and thieving bast**d as my Uncle J*** used to say. Cannon's a Kettering boy. That speaks volumes. _____________________
