From: Enabran Templar Oh, he does, Beryl. I'm feeling pretty condescending at the moment. It's just a bunch of young girls, everyone. Get over it.  I just met two of them with Wu and Barnes. Pretty sure this isn'g going to be the end of the world. Just another couple of avatars. You're a disgusting pig, Enabran. I despise you and your kind. The earth will be bearable only when all men have been cleansed from its surface. |

From: Beryl Greenacre Deirdre and Ingrid, you're fighting a losing battle. I honestly don't think Enabran even realizes how patronizing to women and chauvinistic he sounds in some of his posts. I'd block them out if I were you, like I'm doing. TY, Beryl. No worries, I have long since learned that you can not "argue" against prejudices. All prejudiced people tend to consider their attitudes "obvious facts". And of course you will never succeed in making a proud chauvinist see that chauvinism is a bad thing. I never give up hope that there are some open minded guys around, too. So stating that differing opionions exist might start a thought process in them. |

Oh, yeah, because rejecting 50 or more girls because they don't fit your image of acceptability is open minded. Right.  edit: btw, the missus is loving this thread. I might succeed on selling her on SL for the drama alone.

Oh, and from speaking with the Suicide Girls I met tonight: Linden Lab approached Suicide Girls with a promotion idea. Happy drama. I'll check back in the morning. Play, puppets. Play!

From: Siggy Romulus Unless advances are made in cloning.... this will not end well Actually ... this is not such a farfetched possibily. Medical science could soon make the male more or less optional in reproduction, Siggy. I am not sure if this would be such a bad idea. I have to think on that for a while. It is much harder to find a substitute for the female womb. |

At least until now I can see no one in this thread who is "rejecting 50 or more girls". You do? Interesting. Me, I welcome every new resident of Second Life with open arms; especially the female ones. Time that the m/f ratio gets shifted into right direction. |

From: Enabran Templar Oh, and from speaking with the Suicide Girls I met tonight: Linden Lab approached Suicide Girls with a promotion idea. Thanks for this update. Now the question remains, what do these Suicide Girls get for joining SL, besides their special name, if anything? ----- "They're not jealous because they're ugly -- they're jealous because they're women." You're a hopeless case, Enabran. I always did think the "capitalist" in your forum title should be changed "chauvinist". coco P.S. The thought that SL sex has been GOM'd just makes my mind boggle. |

coco Judging by this thread - I'd say exposure.. I didn't know squat till I read this

Well they obviously got LL blessing. Since their last names are all the same. I have to say however this is not the direction I saw SL going in. I have nothing against porn or sex in sl. What ever floats your boat. But I have to question LL train of thinking here. I agree with those that are questioning "Is this what SL wants to premote and be known for?" Arn't the majority of players 40 something women. Figure out the demographic. Cus you just pissed off this 40ish woman with this bullcrap. Flame away I wont be back to the forums for a few days, I have no interest in wasting my time with this marketing trash. Cat |

From: Enabran Templar Oh, and from speaking with the Suicide Girls I met tonight: Linden Lab approached Suicide Girls with a promotion idea. Suicide Girls in Second Life FAQ Q. Is there a deal/agreement/contract between Linden Lab and the Suicide Girls? A. No Q. Were the Suicide Girls approached by Linden Lab to join Second Life as a part of a program or promotion? A. No Q. Were the Suicide Girls given a special offer to check out Second Life? A. Yes Q. Do the Suicide Girls owe Linden Lab something in return? A. No Q. Why did Linden Lab do this? A. There is an interest in seeing how existing web communities can extend what they offer members by having a virtual space where they can meet and interact. The Suicide Girls have a very active community and Second Life is a good fit for them to be able to meet and greet each other as well as their site members. Please remember that the residents in Second Life with the last name Suicide are like all residents and deserve to be treated according to the Community Guidelines and Standards. There will be more web communities in the future joining Second Life as we continue to grow and expand and they should be given the chance to make a home just as we all have. I am always willing to talk with concerned residents in world and would ask that you respect other residents' right to privacy. Wilder Linden |

Thanks for clarifying a bit Wilder.
I'm still not entirely happy about the concequences of the situation and i'll have to wait and see what other community (hopefully ones not based around a porn-site) are going to be coming into SL based on special offers.

I can absolutely see why this is a winning situation for LL. Suicide Girls get a LOT of traffic. When they list Second Life in their profiles as an interest, well, that's added visibility for SL. More power to them.
There's also a last name of PMS for a group of female gamers from all sorts of different games. I'd imagine SG is just the most visible of an extremely new experiment, and shouldn't be taken as a harbinger of "zomg SL is marketing to teh sex people now". If anything, its proving that LL made a good marketing move in terms of visibility - what do people talk (or think) about more than sex?
