Which Should be Least Tolerated in Second Life?

AMEN!

Forum trolls such as the above poster coome to mind.

Forum trolls like me are okay though.

Fudge it wont let me vote for everything!! So not fair!

It might have been beneficial to seperate ageplay into the 2 categories it falls in...

1) Criminal Ageplay
2) Didn't get hugged enough as a kid

Intellectual Property Theft is illegal throughout much of the world. This should most definately be the number one least tolerated thing on your list.

Second least tolerated should be griefing. Its not illegal, but is against the ToS and has a huge impact on LL bottom line. It is impairing and interferring in the operation of their business by harrassing and driving away paying customers.

None of the rest are illegal in most of the world, nor a matter of business. Trolling could be lumped with griefing, but otherwise, the rest of the list is purely subjective preferences and thus not something either goverments or companies should be involved in.

I mostly agree with you... but sexual age-play is #1 on my list. Regardless of RL age, a child av should not be used sexually. That's absolutely beyond sick.

I think Intolerance should be least tolerated. (sorry if I'm repeating what someone else has said here before, I can't take the time to go and real *all* pages here, as I will be logging in on SL in a bit...)

(BTW, I find Gor very interresting indeed, as a submissive personality, but why oh why can't Furry and Gor be combined? I want to be myself, a fox/vixen, in a gor slave lifestyle... I know it has to do with the writer of the books that inspired it never mentioned furries, but just because of not mentioning them, doesn't mean they can't have existed in that universe? Right?)

But not illegal as there are no children involved.

As I said, the rest are subjective issues and not illegal in most the world. Some people will be pissed off about Nazi iconography, while others are undisturbed by it. Some people will be upset at adults pretending to be children and having sex, others will be undisturbed by it. This is the nature of subjective opinions and views. Morality is subjective. Morality and subjective opinions should not enter into government of business regulation. That is a dangerous and slippery road that can lead us to some VERY disturbing places...

That is such a difficult question to answer. So many to choose from. I guess if push came to shove, i.e., if Jeff Gordon-Matt Kenseth came to Jimmy Spencer-Kurt Busch, I'd say the Nazi iconography should be the least tolerated. Next, I suppose would be IP theft. Next would be Griefing, as it makes SL drag and ruin everybody's time. Guns in SL may be next, just because they are obnoxious. Go to a freakin' shooting range to have your fun. Don't annoy everyone else with you antics. I'm too much a newbie to have an opinion on Land Barons. Furries and Goreans, et al., and likely Trolls are the least of your problems until the aforementioned problems are resolved.

That's just my L$0.02 worth.

Actually... it would be rather difficult to say there are no children involved since the account verification process was altered.

As of now, I wouldn't recommend any sexual interactions with people you can't verify as "of age" or you may end up in some serious trouble.

And I don't care if child-av sexuality is adults being mentally/morally devoid sickos, or not. It's beyond offensive, and should in no way, shape, or form be tolerated.

Well, I don't have sex in SL with anyone really, so it isn't likely to concern me. I am not in SL for teh seXxor.

I am merely a firm believer that what two consenting adults do in their bedroom is no one else's business is all. And I dislike intolerance in general, seeing as I belong to a number of categories that are often subjected to it IRL.

I agree with you, with the exception of child porn. I don't care if it's 2 adults RPing tolders doing the nasty... if it looks like child porn... it is child porn.

People who are interested in RPing kids having sex, probably fantasize about such things, and that should never be accepted.

Actually the verficiation process for age is as questionable as it is now. The only difference is there is no acting like they are getting ACTUAL age verification. Which is impossible to do without a person physically there with an id, and solid proof only that person was logging in. Which is all impossible..

I won't say I don't find it a bit disturbing, but I also find brussel sprouts distrubing. But I do strive to practice what I preach and that is as logn as it isn't something bad, like with actuall kids (which I would think you are useless trash and should be fertilizer for my garden) than each to his own.

But realize this, that is the same arguement that the anti furries are using
Or the anti Goreans
Or the anti BDSM
hmm what other stuff is out ther ein sl?

Yet another reason why one should proceed with extreme caution.

Well... it's sick and wrong I know... but I've heard there are people indulging in gender play... playing either their real gender or the oposite! And there are people having sex with other people of the same or opposite gender!!!

It's wrong I tell you!

I agree with you one hundred percent. Everyone should proceed with caution on everything, anyone that is willing to throw themselves in a relationship I would have to quesiton anyway.. wouldn't you?

i forgot those!! (where the heck is the shift key?!?!)
those are the most foul!! where is my pitchfork!

I'm not arguing against gor or bdsm in SL.

Child-av sexuality is a representative of the single most evil and shameful act, and as such, those who participate in it should be referred to the authorities. It should be illegal to display representations of child sexuality.

The only thing I will openly show absolute intolerance for is the exploitation... or role-played exploitation... of children.

I am completely against any exploitation of children at all.
And I am not a nice person and what I think should be done to ppl that exploit them is not pretty...

When the ppl are adults than I have to step back and withhold judgement until I can actually understand the whys and why nots of why they are doing what they are doing. Have you tried interviewing any of these ppl and just simply listen (not discuss) to their views?
More than likely not, I am assuming, that you feel very strongly about something and you are having a bit of problem seperating the two. Its fine, it is your choice to feel that way.
But it is not ok for you to say any abseloutes on something you know nothing of.

Dark I know several Gorean furries. I don't participate in such activites but i do know it exists and some of my furry friends are slaves. Regardless of who wrote the fiction people have taken thier own spin on the "lifestyle".

I was abused as a child for over 17 years. I now suffer from PTSD because of it, and am in therapy IRL and help run a support group in SL for people stuggling with abuse and depression. I throughly understand child abuse in all its forms, trust me.

Comparing two adults pretending to ageplay some teens in SL to real child abuse is beyond a stretch however, and something I personally find offensive. It belittles REAL child abuse in my own opinion. If no children are involved, it's not child abuse or child porn. saying it is the same as real child abuse minimalizes those who have suffered REAL abuse, IMHO. That is my subjective view on it.

If you are trying to suggest that there is a correlation between ageplay and real life child abuse and that those who ageplay in SL will abuse real children...your grasp of psychology is rather poor.

I am the first in line to champion RL efforts to stop abuse, especially of children. But comparing SL consetual ageplay between to adults to that is beyond laughable and into offensive to me.

Interesting...

You see... here's the thing. If it looks like child porn, I don't give a flying @%!? what the motivation of the two adults is. People should have the sense enough to switch to adult av's if they want to get sexual, otherwise, there is a certain element of morbid mental sickness involved in what is happening.

Graphical representation of sexual children, real, virtual, or simulated, should be banned from SL immediately and without question. There is no good reason to tolerate it.

That's pretty much how I feel about it, and I seriously doubt anything will change my mind about it.

John Norman is the culprit... 26 books in total.

There is no option for Fuckwits.
