GET OVER IT! Good job Lindens!

Edited and direct to the Lindens....

Lindens just please note that not everyone in SL thinks the way that some have expressed themselves on this forum. I for one support your new statement and in fact apluad you. Please keep up the great work and keep cleanning SL up. You have mine and many others support.

o.O;


...Anyway. Sex isn't the most important thing in Second Life to me. It's connecting with people in a special way. It's about exploring and creating and finding myself. It's about having fun and forgetting about my problems for a few moments, and gives me a chance to center myself and then go deal with them. It's a great place, but it's like real life... Morality is determined by personal opinion, and by majority vote.

Sounds like you have some serious issues VooDoo - perhaps some therapy to control that anger of yours would be beneficial.

This is a fantasy world for people to free their imaginations - having an imagination does not make someone "mentally ill". Perhaps you should look up the definition of mental illness, or the statistics that it affects 1 in 4 people during their lifetimes - you could be next!

I find your accustations that people who express their right to free their imaginations are mentally ill to be "broadly offensive".

Oh, and for the record I do not condone paedophilia nor am I a furry - I am simply expressing that I find bigotry and misinformed attitudes offensive.

Yeah.... whatever. And I am offended that I can not come on this board anymore without somebody like you bitching and moaning about how you can't act out your sexual dreams anymore in SL.

"I find your accustations that people who express their right to free their imaginations are mentally ill to be "broadly offensive"."

Free their imaginations! LMAO You call geting into kiddy porn and rape "Free imagination". WOW....

Thank god for the prison system.

I posted this on another thread which was filled with paranoia about liberties being withdrawn. Needless to say, nobody responded.

......'There can be no excuse for anyone to condone the sexualisation of children, be it in cartoons, RL photos, avitars or any other media. The attempts of some SL residents to justify this with the wail of 'my liberty' should be treated with the contempt it deserves and their motives for this stance should be questioned. No right minded person can possibly think that the sexualisation of children is an acceptable thing.
My feeling is that this is an attempt to bring a halt to the outrage engendered by the recent expose of the child sex representation of avitars in SL by the german press. I dont think LL or any government has the inclination or the time to start monitoring every aspect of peoples SL. Governments have enough to do monitoring RL threats.
I reported all incidents of child sexualization in SL long before the blog post about this and will unapologetically continue to do so.....'


The liberty to portray the sexualisation of children or the roleplaying of rapes just isnt acceptable to any civilized person. The damage done to people RL who have been traumatised by this does not need to be replayed in front of them for someone elses gratification of whatever kink they have. There needs to be a line drawn and people should be responsible and adult enough to recognise this.

BTW Im not interested in curtailing ppl dressing as dog/fish/dragons/robots/teapots and having as much virtual sex as they like in private, thats their perogative....just as it is my perogative not to have their fantasies in my face all the time.

Well said.

I do want to add that while I am completely against the depiction of children in sexual acts, real or otherwise, you accusing furries of being mentally ill or not getting enough love as children does offend me. I'm not a furry, but I have friends that are furries. I enjoy giving them a good ribbing and teasing every now and again about it, but it's good natured. What you said was downright mean. They can be whatever they want, being an anthropomorphic animal isn't offensive.

Personally, I find statements in the name of the community broadly offensive.

I am not talking about running around and tricker treating. I am talking about two people dressed up like a animal and grinding away on each other. You think thats normal? And people wonder why we have so many sexually transmited problems these days... Its not hard to figure out.

And to be honest... I don't care if I offend anyone by saying it. I am offended all the time by all this "let us do what we want" crap every day in here. So join the offended crowd.

First of all, I despise kiddyporn. That being said, If ppl wanna rp...let them...and with that I mean do it in specific sims. So if you don't want to see it, don't go there. The so called rape you mentioned is ROLEPLAY and yes..that's done in sims like Toxia or Midian. By consenting adults...and if you don't want to participate, it's respected. And even in the sims I mentioned it's not like it's a 24hr orgy. Those sims are designed mostly for combat. And no, there's nothing wrong with me.

Who the hell are you to determine normal? Who is anyone to say what is normal or not normal??

I'm not going to flame you.

However, please don't flame those of us who enjoy our sexaul expression.

In the end, this is the Linden's ball, they can do what they want with it, but that's not my point.

People have to have a creative outlet. Sex is one of the most powerful good feeling that a human can have. It's part of our make up. It's not dirty or bad, so long as there are consenting adults participating, and I know of a lot of people, me included admittingly, who play out their fantasies on SL because it's safe and doesn't hurt anyone. People have furries, age-play (not real child-adult sex-hence the word "play", BDSM, Gor, or even just be a stripper here because it's a safe release and exploration.

And you know what? That's healthy!

What's unhealthy and dangerous is the supression of what and who we are. Superssion leads to major mental problems.

Now of course, there is always a line. That's what makes SL so appealing. It's not real. There are no children (or not supposed to be - I'm all for the age verification), no real physical damage or pain, and no actual rape. It's all fantasy. It's finding others who need to express or explore something without actually doing any damage to anyone.

That's why the outrage. That's why we don't like this. Of course I'm against child porn and molestation. I am not a furry nor don't age-play (age-play consenting adults who play at child-adult or child-child sex - see the word play - meaning not real) Both fantasies I could never get into. However, I will defend those people and their right to play that way as long as no one is hurt, it's consensual and no real life children are involved.

We all have something that someone is going to get offended by. We all have our secret fantasies that we're afraid people will point to and gasp. Here, we can explore that without any damage. It's an outlet. A very safe one.

And no, I do not believe in "since they do it in fantasy they do it in real life". I have discovered what is more likely is that "if they don't release and explore in fantasy they act MUCH worse in real life." Besides, we have a philosphy in US of innocent until proven guilty. I still stand by that.

What scares me more than age-players is people who judge and point fingers. Who impose their morals and religion on me and others. Who try to get me to fear everything, who scream "we must protect the children" when really they're offended and want it wiped out. When people want to control my and other's thoughts and how we live. Personally, I feel that self-rightousness is more dangerous than any sexual fantasy. It leads to hate, pride, envy, judgement and self-rationalization. And there is no way to fantasize self-rightousness. That's something played out in real life always.

And many people feel the same. That's another reason for the outrage.

See, that is true control that can lead to real damage. Everything else is fantasy.

And case in point, I did not flame you. By all means, express your opinions. That's wonderful.

Be keep this in mind. I never flammed you. I wouldn't. You have every right to feel what you feel. All I'm doing is explaining the other side.

And since I did not flame you, and I did not tell insult your opinion, and I support your right to give your opinions, please, give us who disagree with you the same rights. And there's no need for insults either.

Thank you.

First of all I dont go there and never will and second of all you can cut and dice it all up however you want but anyone pretending to rape or be raped has some mental issues.

Sorry if you dont like that or it "offends you" or its not "politically correct" enough for you.

ok might as well jump on this bandwagon too.....

I REALLLLY want LL to come down hard on all nasty folk who get there kinky sex fix out of SL...

Im not talking goreans or Furries ... i know a fair few goreans and to be honest ... seems like just regular role play.

the internet isnt a free for all as what a LOT of people would like it to be, there is no such thing as FREE ..... only different levels of regulation and law.

bring on the age verification or what ever.... I for one would LOVE to see SL regulated or at the very least bring back zoning again ..

THis has all been talked about 1000 times before and is just an excuse for folk to get flamed...

Why do you say sorry when you really aren't?

I'm not into rape, fake or otherwise. I'm not into being a furry and having sex with furries, nor am I into gor or BDSM.

But there are a lot of people who are. It's how they get off. It's a fantasy to them, it's exciting, new, and it entices them. It's their right and their decision to be what they want to be, and you have no right to point a finger at them and call them dirty.

Show me one place, anywhere, that shows a quote from Linden Lab saying that religion has ANYTHING to do with this blog announcement.

You won't find one, trust me.

So why do you and so many others keep blaming religion for something completely unconnected?

Broccoli

/me walks away from this thread with her hands firmly thrust in her pockets

You couldn't offend me even if you tried, trust me. I don't participate in it as well, but I have seen it and just walked away. It's very easy to do, it's called ignoring. Last thing we need is some witchhunt where ppl being reported all over because someone thinks they might be doing something offensive.

Mandy C

I will leave it with a quote from Michael Savage....

"Liberalism Is a Mental Disorder"

Never knew how true that was till I came to SL.

This is a troll, right?

?? You can't get much safer sex than two AV's pixel humping, medical science would be amazed if an STD was transmitted that way. If people want to dress up as animals that's their business, it's not something that works for me so I don't engage in it but I have no problem with those who do.

I have no problem with homosexuals either even though I'm hetrosexual, their business not mine. I'm an adult, I understand that people in life engage in adult activities, if I don't like something I move away.

Obviously.

Mandy C

So leave.


Second Life is an amazing place, to the open minded.

Dont need to, once age verification hits about 40% of you will be gone anyway.

Personally I find the first name VooDoo "broadly offensive", because it suggests the avatar is involved in black magic based on animal and human sacrifices to summon zombies and evil spirits. His loathing of animals and humans should therefore not come as a surprise.
