"Age play" in SL

*coaxes Gabe out with a spoonful of peanut butter*

<ears perk> Did someone say Peanut Butter??

I can't believe I don't have an image to go along with this description

My point was that LL shouldnt condone or support this type of behavior within SL. Thats it. Turn off the drama machine. Thanks.

*smears a gob of peanut butter on top of Travis's wet puppy nose *

Its a fantasy. Some people want to play Ogruk the orc warlord ravishes tymal the elven princess. Others want to play daddy spanking a school girl, still others want to play at BDSM and adhere to books by bad fantasy authors.

LL goes to great lengths to ensure, as much as is practicable, that the main grid is populated by adults of consenting age. If one adult wishes to be a 12 year old school girl, and the otehr the 40 year old guy who spanks her, then, in so far as they are consenting adults, their behavior should nopt be prohibited.

If SL is meant to be a truly open ended virtual fantasy world, then it must allow tolerance across a broad spectrum of fantasies. I think the notion that somone who age plays is closer to going out and doing it in real life is silly. That is an expression of disdain because you don't find the fantasy agreeable. Imagine of someone were to say people who roleplay vikings in SL are very close to going out and being vikings RL.

Part of tolerance is adopting a live and let live attitude. Persoanlly I find Christianity very offensive on many levels, but I don't feel like I can attack them at leisure in the forums or in world. Same with Goreans. I find the notions of slavery reprehensible and offensive to every part of my being, but I would not suggest those who practice a gorean liufestyle onlie are going to run out and own slaves IRL. (Note a: voluntary participant in the gorean role play, who is a consenting adult is not a slave, though she may describe her self as such-its role play).

Frankly this thread strikes me as intolerant sensationalism.
As long as someone is a consenting adult, they should feel free to explore or express any fantasy

Not, at this late date, anyone cares what I have to say, but... while I'm not terribly comfortable with "age play" in the sexual sense (but absolutely fine with it in a non-sexual roleplaying sense) I find it marginally less icky than straight up pedophilia, or, for that matter, Goreans. Since, as pointed out, the age of consent has varied widely, and indeed the maturity levels of the "children" involved. As I've once heard, adolescence is largely a 20th century invention.

Only the fact that ultimately, it really involves consenting adults and it may, for all I know, help someone with pedophiliac urges subliminate them, prevents me from going all rage-elemental.

/me is glad she isn't the only one who is making that stupid typo lately.

Age players are perverts, pure and simple. There are NO exceptions to this rule. These folks need to be watched closely by the FBI.

If you don't think that certain types of sexplay don't fit in your moral framework, then I can agree: there are things I won't do, even in SL.

But to say that others have to follow your rules or morality: don't you think that's a little egotistical?

What land? Has anyone gone to look at this land and developed any opinions on it?

ummmm who's god? and where do you get the idea that anyone having sex in game is a pedo? can you cite some research? it's an ADULT rated game is it not?

<runs in frantically>

"Sorry 'bout that, I was running late and didn't know it was my turn to read this line."

<fumbles to find cuecard in his pocket, pulls out and reads aloud:>

"This will not end well.
...
That is all."

<runs back out just as frantically>

I don't need to. It's kinda obvious.

Think about it, if this is the sort of thing one does in SL they must be pretty perverted in RL.

Ah.

So me reporting you to the UN about those nukes you clearly have, given you made some nukes in game, will go smoothly then?

liberal claptrap.......sorry blaze you just fell into the limbaugh/holmes/savage roundfile !PLONK!

I wish I knew all the fancy names of those logical fallacies like other people on this forum do...

We should not post pictures of Michael Jackson more recent than, say, 30 years ago, in this forum, or for that matter, anywhere at all.

If Linden Research wants to retain new users and make them into customers then they should not display
pictures like:

He is just so creepy looking. You'd think his plastic surgeon and makeup artist would take legal action to keep their failure from being displayed.

LOLOLOL~~~ that is a good one!!!.. Thanks going in my siggy

Here's one list used by some people:




This list appears to be the product of Dr. Michael C. Labossiere, who produced a Macintosh tutorial called "Fallacy Tutorial Pro 3.0".

The website that has housed one instance of this list, the www.nizkor.org site, appears to be down. I had to use the google cache to get this except from.

I can't take it anymore I have to post!! Anyone that thinks about hurting a kid is very sick!! And now I am sick to think someone can justify having sex with a kid....Gezss FU___ing Christ go get some help!!

I like to say "Post hoc ergo proctor hoc."

It makes me feel smart.

Ahh..this wonderful topic again!

What goes on between consenting adults is their business and their's alone, as long as no laws are being broken. No children involved..so no harm, no foul. If ya don't like it, don't do it.
