Ageplay?

Okay...after having explored a lot of SL, I rcently came across Ageplay. Now I know that a portion of ageplayers do it just to act as a child and not for sexual reasons. But there are a lot of people out there who participate in that seedy side.

Now, how can this be different to those people promoting the KKK, etc ingame? Surely this is a practise that should be banned? If people can get banned from the game for promoting racist and hateful ideologies then why not ban those activities that promote paedophilia and child abuse?

Okay, I know someone may try the 'Well they're not children!' defence, but does that matter? Ageplay can still act as a means for paedophiles to continue their depraved sexual practices while certain groups actively promote it.

Any comments, arguments, etc would be appreciated (especially while we all wait for LL to get SL back up and running )

wait, im new to the MG, but people rp as children, as they cyber?! omg... thats, odd.

Yup...they can cyber either child-to-child or child-to-adult

but what if the "adult" is really a child, and they are cybering child-"adult"? Well, i have to say, thats pretty odd, =/. How do you even rp as a child in cybersex? So, do they misspell alot? or are their avvies just kids!? O.O

This topic has been addressed so many times that even bringing it up again almost qualifies one as an insta-troll.

I'm not calling you a troll. But you would be well served by using the search feature and looking up the topic, rather than starting yet another thread.

Responses on this topic have varied: Some believe that age play is a valid and legitimate outlet for sexual fantasy, some think that the whole thing is "gross" and hate the idea for emotional reasons. Others think it promotes sexual molestation of children.

So far, the Linden response has been somewhat tepid, as far as I recall. At best, the practice of role-playing (in any form) is not illegal and therefore not banned by Linden Lab. Yes, that has been debated as well, but the general consensus was that no laws have been broken.

Please, guys, don't let this turn in to another of the kinds of threads that got General closed down in the first place. Let this be the last post in this thread.

I had bum sex with an underage rabbit once, while snorting cocaine too.

Haha wtf

Oh no, not again...

Read through the archives: this has been covered a LOT, and it never ends well. And yes, I do play a kid - an do not do sexual ageplay stuff (total opposite of what my character would want, frankly). Ageplay itself does not always involve sexual content, and further remains removed from anything involving actual children.

I feel like I should make a macro sometimes.



A blanket ban on child avatars would be unworkable. You can ban people based on their actions, but it would be largely the same as any AR. If you are doing that in the middle of a public space and/or PG sim, then yes, you'll get in trouble no matter what the avvies in question are. I think the LL response, however, has been perfectly appropriate, given a topic that causes a lot of emotional response to take precedence over logical discourse.

No, sometimes it ends in Pie!!

One can only hope...

Fine..then if I was a KKK member it would be fine for me to go around and preach hatred, as long as it was on owned property in a mture area?

Dearly Darling,

I keep telling stupid people not to breed...

You need to look for the vagina; preferably with someone of your own species. Obviously the cocaine is not helping with your cognitive or spacial skills. Lay off the drugs for a few weeks and try again.

Also avoid the young of any genus here or in any reality...You already have a reputation for stupidity...pedophilia and bestiality are not laughing matters.

Ever Yours,

Putting aside the restrictions the EULA puts upon us, yes it should be ok, if the property owner does not mind. Equating racist speech and child molesting does not work. One is against the law, the other is still protected by the First Admendment. Yes, I know we do not have First Admendment rights here as it is a private server.

And what consititutes racist speech? Who decides? By vote? Well then what if the majority decides that the Jewish religion is racist? What if they decide that the Catholics practice hate speech? You are treading on a very slippery slope.


My defense of racist speech does not in anyway condone racist thought or practice.

Until I see a KKK clan griefing in a sim...I will have to assume that will never happen.

We should not be restricted in our actions with other consentual adults...even if it's not what I would do...I won't keep someone else from doing what they want.

I wonder if our Runescape clan will be considerd griefing if we all show up with our armor and weapons on to a slingo event..saying "We gonna poon the pot"?

Charlie, unless someone abused a real child he isn't a pedophile, so, could you cut the crap and ... mind your own business.
Also the law that was outlawing the representation of childs having sex in any form has been removed 4 years ago, or so.

Okay, now I know you've gotta be trollin' - comparing the two is a leap of logic with holes big enough to navigate quite a sizable pram through.

Stick a fork n it, 'cuz it's done.

Folks this isn't the old General Forum and trolling isn't allowed here. If you have a genuine question post it. Otherwise we are not interested in your opinions about Ageplay or anything else.

Can the on duty resmod please lock this thread?
