That is also completely immaterial to the current issue. Stop the trolling. How is it completely immaterial - it is the same Not In My Back Yard - you don't like it, so you want it gone. It is *NOT* illegal, it is *NOT* affecting the 'children', and it is *NOT* something that comes and seeks you out. You have to go looking for it. You want it gone. Nimby. |

Ai, last summer on the Forums, we did have a person claim to be a RL vampire. It wasn't RP. And didn't that end up with you winning some of my underwear in an auction? _____________________

Maybe some of the bored housewives that the human traffickers are stalking are into it. Ai, it sounds like you and Rebecca should get together and form a group. You could call it Progressives Opposed to Online Perverts or POOP. I am sure you both would agree to be Co-POOP Heads. I'd call the group MORON. Moral OutRage Over Nothing _____________________

Here's the simplest, most straightforward answer I or anyone else can give:
LL will allow anything as long as it doesn't create legal liability for them. That's all there is to it. They take some acts to stop griefing and clean things up every once in a while, but overall, banning certain types of activivites is always related to their liability. Age Play, Gambling and Banking all had RL legal implications for LL if they continued to allow it. It doesn't matter where you are. LL is located in the US, so US laws apply. If you don't like it, I'm sorry, but too bad. Dolcett is not illegal in the US. It's hideous and disgusting, but not illegal. Sex is not illegal, and neither is BDSM, Gor, Vampireplay (I made that word up!), dressing in skimpy outfits, or any number of other things that some people don't like. I would also argue that Dolcett, while personally offensive to me, is not Broadly Offensive as that term is used by LL. The fact that there is a reasonablly large community taking part in the activity shows that its offensiveness is not broad. It's not like there has to be a majority 51% vote of the general population for something to be Broadly Acceptable. Imagine how awful that would be! It is enough that there is a community involved in it that does not find it to be offensive. At any rate, the bottom line is that until it is illegal in California or at the federal level in the USA, LL is very unlikely to step in. Good bad or otherwise, that's the bottom line. _____________________

Dolcett is the sexualization of the murder and mutilation of women. It is illegal in most civilized countries. Artwork portraying such acts get the immediate attention of the real world authorities. As they are usually produced by serial killers or those high risk to become serial killers. Why on earth is Dolcett allowed to continue to exist in Second Life? When things like Age Play have been purged, post-haste by Linden Labs? i thought this was banned long ago in SL _____________________

Ai, last summer on the Forums, we did have a person claim to be a RL vampire. It wasn't RP. I've encountered that type of the net way before I ever came to SL. I counciled one of them out of an untreated iron deficiency. Drinking real blood is stupid and dangerous. |

Winter,
I have been in your store and own a Firebrand Venus. So you happen to be trashing one of your customers. Great PR there, really! I never use the Venus, btw. I consider it pretty inferior in the catagory of products of that class that are available. |

I'm curious as to what made the OP bring this up all of a sudden? A bad experience at a 4th of July Barbecue, perhaps?
