Upcoming Changes for Adult Content: Main Forum Thread

Australia, ok.

Do you guys do a doggy arf haunch move at strangers there? I see a lot of that in SL.

Well, the point most are trying to make here is that SL was created as a sex tool, is a sex tool, and sex is what most people do here most of the time.

It's not in private either. That is the problem. It is advertised, and everybody sees it whether they want to or not.

This discussion has made me curious about whether people are actually doing the same stuff in public in other countries that they do in SL.

Ahhhhh! It's not real! It's a cartoon, it's a bunch of polygons organized in a mesh with a texture that is being put together by some fancy math on your graphics card!
Cinda rolls her eyes wondering if the whole world has become a bunch of gamers that can't tell reality from a video game.

I would suspect that stores selling Gorean clothing would be most comfortable on a Mature rated sim.

I act the same way in RL as I do in SL.


I hug people I don't know in RL all the time. It's fun.


It creates confusion in my victims each time I do it, but they eventually just smile and hug back. It's all good.


In RL though, people who practice BDSM, or strip clubs, or threates where people do plays involving death, aren't required to move to special adult only continents. Like in RL too, we do it in our homes, or in clubs and do it away from peoples view. And that's all we do in SL, and yet we're being asked to move.

Yes we know your views, you think that every part of SL has just a mass of people having big orgies all over the place, but to be honest, your completely wrong on that. The same way I can tell you the sky is blue, I can tell you that it isn't true. Log in, take a look in SL for yourself. Unless your definition of sex is people standing next to each other, then that just ain't happening in SL.

Like most roleplayers in SL. I actually prefer:
1. To roleplay in IM's.
2. To roleplay in the privacy of my home, or my club's downstairs area.

I don't enjoy doing things like that in public, unless it's maybe a short and simple RP in a club where that is the theme, I stick to private things. And nearly every RPer I know does the same as well. We do so because we like to avoid folks like yourself who would make comments and complain, and to not be rude or annoying to others.

get with the times Nany. Australians are so repressed that they frown on topless sunbathing and their government is about to implement IP filtering to make sure they're not tempted into anything sinful.

Ah Nany, you really should try to keep up with what's happening in the world..

particularly around catholic priests and others in positions of responsibilty.. They're really the people who set the standards..

except in Australia of course.. always at least a decade behind the rest of the world..

If silks are considered equivalent to explicit sex such as f***ing, then I'm in a panic about just how much stuff LL really wants to move to the "Adult" sim.

Nudity is not "adult". I grew up less than 10 minutes easy walk from a nude beach, and the beach outside our back balcony was topless, and I hardly ever eat babies.

Oi! *throws a boomerang at Couldbe!* We're not all prudes!

No, I would have no objection to your RP at all. Not in the slightest. I'm glad you can enjoy playing in SL.

The only concern I have with any of this is that it silences other kinds of expression. Many of the people using this place for sex are extremely intolerant of other uses. They say all the schools and businesses not involved in the sex trade should just leave.

Good point. I've always read that line as 'intense.. nudity'.

Not that there's anything *wrong* with that- running around retenting to be a vampire isn't exactly the most grown-up thing to do either... it's just that the definition of "adult" usually beams something like "Responsible and Mature", when a lot of the activity and content *called* adult is anything *but*.

This discussion has made me curious about whether people are actually doing the same stuff in public in other countries that they do in SL.

Do they really not have any difference between public and private overseas? They just do it in the open like the animals in the zoo? In the shops and the offices and government buildings and the schools?

It wouldn't affect me. I'm unshockable - even by clowns with swords and two penises.

am I the only one that thinks LL is being a bit tacky in doing the bread and circuses thing again?

Stepford?

Did I say you were??

Any nation that has as one of its most popular songs a little ditty called "Tie me kangaroo down, sport.." will always be eligible for the cocked eyebrow..

OKay, now *that* is "intense nudity"

On roof-tops.

Even in concentration camps they did it.

In one word: no safe place for you!

I have serious doubts about LL's nudity claim. I really do.

If you could see some of the folks that are in my group or club.. you'd know that 'nude' can be very extreme. Depending on what species a person is.

Picture a 8ft tall, well built, male anthro horse. With a somewhat realistic member. Are folks like Nany really going to accept that in their 'Mature' sims?
