From: Imnotgoing Sideways That's answered in the blog.... (^_^) In this instance it is a rhetorical question. The blog just says look at our child avatar sanctions we put in place in 2008 in response to the pedo scandal. I see glaring gaps in that - since it was written before Adult Continent Zindra was written. From: someone ***** There is plenty of protected land on Zindra that will technically be adult but safe in terms of content. ***** I have somewhat grown to accept that nonsense of mixing PG parcels in Adult rated Zindra. And peopel in child avatars adult verifying to go 'shopping in Zindra' (like buying hustler for the articles) But I have been at the penis parcel. And that is not safe in terms of content. And yet child avatars feel they have every right to enter.

From: Lias Leandros Due to my own sensitivities and those of the internet watchdog groups and media bloggers. I don't see any bloggers other than Prok involved. Just you and Prok and your fraud and lies and threats.

From: Argent Stonecutter Your translator is broken. Well, I don't speak Ferret. From: someone And the problem with that is what? The guy who was under the impression that he could have sex anywhere in Zindra was responding to the advertising campaign LL released about Zindra. The same campaign that will influence the opinion of Zindra outside of SL/ This will not end well. From: someone You created it as well, with your sex cafe in Bear. Hey! My 'Erotic Restaurant' is in Nepessing, not Bear. And I have my Zindra ticket in for the move. No child avatars or vermin allowed!

I see glaring gaps in that - since it was written before Adult Continent Zindra was written. No gaps. In brief. You can play a kid. You can have sex. You can't do both. Pretty basic. (^_^) From: someone I have somewhat grown to accept that nonsense of mixing PG parcels in Adult rated Zindra. And peopel in child avatars adult verifying to go 'shopping in Zindra' (like buying hustler for the articles) But I have been at the penis parcel. And that is not safe in terms of content. And yet child avatars feel they have every right to enter. If a parcel contains sexual content. There is no good reason for a child avatar to be there. Nudity isn't sex. And anatomical depictions in architecture aren't sex. (^_^)y

From: someone The guy who was under the impression that he could have sex anywhere in Zindra was responding to the advertising campaign LL released about Zindra. If the landowner allows it, yes, you can, just as you could previously on mature land. Which is why we're in this mess... because of idiots going ballistic (like you're doing now) about what YOU were doing (whichever sim it's in) not because of people who play with kid toons.

I am going to guess that LL will enforce no public sex, like has always been the rule on the rest of the mainland, for at least their own parcels (like protected land, the roads, and the mole builds) though.

So an adult is someone that is at least 2 meters tall? Define adult shape! Exactly what you do determine to be the adult shape? From: Kokoro Fasching So if the Daddy and the Daughter are both over 18, it is wrong? Who are you to say what is wrong for adults to do? Here are the messages.. will you reply, or ignore and IM me in world again?

She did not go ROLEPLAYING a child, she went as a short adult - there is a *HUGE* difference. Well we did go over this already. I saw her and I say she went as her child avatar. She claims it was a short adult. So be it. But again, she has claimed in many forums that she has every right to enter a place as a child that has no adult content inside (even though it has two large penis sculptures at the entrance. Because LL does not sanction child avatar people for doing so. So if she was not wrong, why are you desperately trying to say she was not in a child avatar when she entered? Your entire argument is based on LL's current Child Avatar sanctions. My concerns are based on common decency and social norms. And, as can be seen in these pages, my concerns have no impact on the actions of people that insist upon wearing child avatars. Koko, just because you found someone else who has the same lackof decency as yourself - it does not make it mainstream. From: Kokoro Fasching So if the Daddy and the Daughter are both over 18, it is wrong? Who are you to say what is wrong for adults to do? Someone else answered this one for you. From: Airt Pexington The law usually. Its called incest. But then SL is just a fantasy playground yeah! its not reeeeeaallll !!!!, where you can do whatever turns you on whereever and whenever you liike? Yeah! Nah! Not anymore its not, LL are putting the mockers on that. Just like the rest of the mainstream internet providers have done already. Welcome to the real world I suppose.

No, your entire platform is based in what you think common decency and social norms SHOULD BE - that is my problem. Rather than accepting that not everyone sees the same way as you, you want everyone to only see it the way you do. From: Lias Leandros Koko, just because you found someone else who has the same lackof decency as yourself - it does not make it mainstream.
So, the entire city of San Francisco and their government is wrong, and you are right? This is what I am saying - you refuse to even accept the possibility that that anyone else's viewpoint might be right, and yours is wrong. At least I know that my perception is mine alone, and it might not be the right one, but you won't even accept the possiblity that is the case. That is why so many argue here - because when few dictate to everyone what is right/wrong, then we lose all freedoms. From: Lias Leandros Someone else answered this one for you.
You brought it up, I want YOUR answer.

Rather than accepting that not everyone sees the same way as you, you want everyone to only see it the way you do. Not should be, What is actually the norms right now. You and your ilk may be more progressive than the social norms - but that does not make those embracing the social norms needs to accept your (inappropriate) depictions of children. From: someone So, the entire city of San Francisco and their government is wrong, and you are right? Koko, if your relying on politicians to tell you the difference between right and wrong then I'll introduce you to several Rep. Kirk speeches. From: someone This is what I am saying - you refuse to even accept the possibility that that anyone else's viewpoint might be right, and yours is wrong. At least I know that my perception is mine alone, and it might not be the right one, but you won't even accept the possiblity that is the case. That is why so many argue here - because when few dictate to everyone what is right/wrong, then we lose all freedoms. Your opinion cannot force Linden Lab to develop more sanctions against everyone. The people that believe in the societal norms and common decency obviously can force Ll to create policy (as seen in 2007 after the Pedo Wonderland scandal). We all know that children are a easy target for the soap-boxers to use t force change on a situation. Knowing this, I feel completely ignoring these peopel and carrying on as usual is foolhearty. Make an effort to organize the child avatar community and show some sensitivity toward the Zindra and adult content issue. To do as you all did in SL5B (protest, nasty postings, boycotting and insulting) is not the answer this time. You all come across as a bunch of short griefing bullies. No one from the child avatar community has released a statement showing concern about the plight of the Adult Content community or has made a sensitive statement about entering parcels marked Adult in Zindra. From: someone You brought it up, I want YOUR answer. From: someone Its called incest. But then SL is just a fantasy playground yeah! its not reeeeeaallll !!!!, where you can do whatever turns you on whereever and whenever you liike? Yeah! Nah! Not anymore its not, LL are putting the mockers on that. Just like the rest of the mainstream internet providers have done already. Welcome to the real world I suppose. Ditto. When you accept that this is happening then you all can begin to work to adjust your behavior so as not to offend.

Koko, if your relying on politicians to tell you the difference between right and wrong then I'll introduce you to several Rep. Kirk speeches.
No, I do not trust politicians to tell me what is right from work, I trust my soul to know that there is not one path, nor that I know the best for anyone but myself. It is when one decides that they know best for everyone else I believe that they no longer know what is best at all. There is no "my ilk", there is only my perceptions, and my willingness to understand that my perceptions is NOT everyone one elses, but rather, I must be willing to give everyone the chance to find their own path. From: Lias Leandros Your opinion cannot force Linden Lab to develop more sanctions against everyone. The people that believe in the societal norms and common decency obviously can force Ll to create policy (as seen in 2007 after the Pedo Wonderland scandal). We all know that children are a easy target for the soap-boxers to use t force change on a situation. Knowing this, I feel completely ignoring these peopel and carrying on as usual is foolhearty.

No one from the child avatar community has released a statement showing concern about the plight of the Adult Content community or has made a sensitive statement about entering parcels marked Adult in Zindra.
You seem to want to lump me in with the child community. I am not a child, nor do I role play a child, but I am willing to accept that I do not know all, and I am in no position to dictate what everyone else does. That is what I am getting at. In order for freedom to work, one must accept that everyone has to be free to find their own path, else there is no freedom at all. From: Lias Leandros Ditto. When you accept that this is happening then you all can begin to work to adjust your behavior so as not to offend.
No... in order not to offend, I would have to lose myself.. and I am not willing to do so. I was given free will for the purpose to grow, experience life, and learn how to better myself. I will not throw away the deities gift just not to "offend". That would be cheapening what the deity has given me. I will gladly go before the deity when this cycle ends, and have no reservations at all in stating that I am not perfect, but I did my best to grow, learn, and become all that she wishes me to be. And I did it without having to make anyone else be lessor than they could be. Nor did I force my will apon them in any fashion, rather, I took all burden apon myself, all "public" criticism so that they would not feel the need to change their path just to make mine easier. Can you honestly say the same? Are you willing to accept that your perceptions are not perfect, and that perhaps you do not see something that someone else sees?

The term in question is not "is this mainstream", it's "is this legal in RL". The answer is "yes".

That is good advice. You need to take it. From: someone I feel completely ignoring these peopel and carrying on as usual is foolhearty. Which is why there are so many people apposing your crackpot ideas. The only "griefing bullies" here are you and your boyfriend in his cock suit.

From: Kokoro Fasching It is when one decides that they know best for everyone else I believe that they no longer know what is best at all. It is not what is best for everyone else, it is what is best for the platform. Certain actions will help to ensure that Second Life sees another birthday without many more child sex scandals or forced sanctions. From: someone In order for freedom to work, one must accept that everyone has to be free to find their own path, else there is no freedom at all. The size of the TOS should be a hint to you that there is no freedom once you agree to it. I am saying we need more guidelines to make sure that people who feel their freedom is more important than the plkatform are fully aware that this is not the acceptable. From: someone No... in order not to offend, I would have to lose myself.. and I am not willing to do so. You already did when you agreed to the TOS. From: someone And I did it without having to make anyone else be lessor than they could be. Nor did I force my will upon them in any fashion, rather, I took all burden upon myself, all "public" criticism so that they would not feel the need to change their path just to make mine easier. Most adults know that they cannot do what they want to do. And you certainly cannot do so on a platform with internal rules and external pressures. Child avatars have had their share of controversy within Second Life. If they continue to inflexible they may break. From: someone Can you honestly say the same? Are you willing to accept that your perceptions are not perfect, and that perhaps you do not see something that someone else sees? I am completely against child avatars entering any Adult parcel in Zindra or on a private estate. I can see many of you see no problem role playing with child avatars in adult settings. And it is a slippery slope. One that leads to depictions that are (as Linden Lab put it) Broadly Offensive.
