Well it seems that your reply to my statement is lacking in truth. It seems that you can pick a small bit of what I said and turn it into anything you want, by “translating” it. Sorry, I typed English not some foreign language.
I left Sl as I said for the reasons I posted. Who wants to RP IN SL Gor when most don’t even wear the fantasy clothing depicted in the books. See what I did there, FANTASY CLOTHING. Instead people were wearing, females in particular, were wearing low rider jeans with their asses showing or tops that had half of their breasts hanging out AS FREE WOMEN…
Now, since all you wanted to do was debunk my post, here is the final part, if you had read my ENTIRE post and reposted about “my lifestyle” you would have read this “Yes I know Gor is Sci-fi and NOT real, BUT the principles and philosiphies ARE REAL. Strength and Honor…. integrity….. honesty, we all have the power to LIVE this way. No, I don’t carry a sword, spear, bow and or shield… LOL ” So it seems all you want to do is talk bad about my post instead of having an intelligent ADULT conversation about it…

Maddog “I, personally left SL and SL Gor due to childish people, cases where people felt the need to cheat at Gorean combat just to win”

Translated: I was caught cheating and banned from so many sims I can’t RP there anymore.

Maddog “I live the Gorean lifestyle in my real life”

Translation – I am some white boy with a midlife crises, I’ve gone full Walter Mitty and now think I am a fictional character is a badly written, swords and sorcery soft porn series.

PS Conan would kick Tar Cabot’s whiny ass twenty ways to next Sunday Heck, even Sir Harry Paget Flashman could (of course Flashman would steal Cabot’s girl while he was at it)

I will be honest, I only read a few posts and WILL NOT judge anyones opinions or thoughts. That is the first way into an arguement or picking a fight.
I want to speak my mind about Gor/ SL Gor. I saw many instances in this blog or thread that say if you don’t like it–leave– Those are words VERY TRUE. Everyone has the OPTION of hitting the little (X) in the corner. I, personally left SL and SL Gor due to childish people, cases where people felt the need to cheat at Gorean combat just to win, the “book thumpers” that hadn’t read but a few books, Quoting them as Gorean Gospel, and finally the people that had to IM or PM just to cause drama.
I live the Gorean lifestyle in my real life( kicks ass over RP LOL) .
Yes I know Gor is Sci-fi and NOT real, BUT the principles and philosiphies ARE REAL. Strength and Honor…. integrity….. honesty, we all have the power to LIVE this way. No, I don’t carry a sword, spear, bow and or shield… LOL
Bottom line, in SL there are TRUE slaves and I have owned them RL and in SL. There are GREAT slaves and piss poor slaves, it’s up to the individual to treat each case separately with integrity and honestly. Communication is the key to finding the real slaves and those that have “velcro collars” that just want pixel sex or those that want to be owned truly and completely because it is in their nature to serve.

Ummmm folks? It’s a game. Sorry that the kids of SL is getting into the act but, if the parents, yes the parents , would moniter their kids, the kids would not be doing this. It is NOT the responsibility of Second Life OR it’s members to moniter someone else’s kids, if it was my responsibility I want the damn tax break too.
As for the ko’lar…… if you dont like it, then get out. Dont look, dont stay, dont interact. And yes it is sad that there is slavery going on in other countries, but why the hell are you comparing it to …yes… A GAME? If you want to make a difference get the hell over to where the real stuff is happening and do something instead of spending your time COMPLAINING about how someone else plays their game, YES! THE KEY WORD IS GAME !!!!
NO ONE is telling you how to play your game, nor is anyone complaining how you play your game. So why the hell spend time COMPLAINING about how someone else plays their game?
Or, are you just jealous and dont have the nads to play gor?

Where do I even begin? Perhaps with how incredibly uninformed this entire article is. I found your comparison to a series of books that began in 1967 with Tarnsman of Gor to the Taliban and articles that boast dates 38 years after the first book of the series was published. What I absolutly love about the Gor hating rubish I see posted so frequently on the internet is that just as in your case is laughable and completely devoid of anything factual but rather based on a limited understanding from a narrow minded indivdiual that is so caught up on their own bias they can’t see the forest for the trees.

I find it intresting that you said “No one here is silly enough to wonder why so many apparently well-heeled and apparently bored middle class Western European and American wives, mothers, students, and career women are willing to sign up and pay the cost of entry so that other well-heeled and apparently bored middle class men (and women) can roleplay social and sexual crimes against women in this very unusual and intriguing manner.” What I find amusing about that remark is that it is again obviously uninformed I know many many people in several Gorean communites from all walks of life ranging in ages from 19-67. I’m curious did you take a poll before you made such broadly derogatory statement or was this again a product of your apparent bias against Gorean roleplay?

Do you find it broadly offensive that my slave in SL kneels to me? If you do there is a simple solution to your issue. Don’t go to Gorean sims. I don’t log into SL everyday considering what I can do to make your experience better there or somehow live up to your pseudo Judeao-Christian idea of morality. I log into SL because I do many things I enjoy there including roleplay.

(role-play (rlpl)
v. role-·played, role-·play·ing, role-·plays

To assume deliberately the part or role of; act out.

Role-playing..

Taken from Dictionary.com.

Do note it says deliberatly as in consensual. No one is being forced to be a slave in SL, it’s rather impossible to do that. If I could find a way to force a person to do something in SL the first and foremost thing on the agenda would be to force people to stop with their ignorant predjudice.

At any rate, please don’t bother responding to this post because I really have nothing more to say on the matter. I’m done now. kthxby

My SL partner has asked me to explore the gor / D/s thing with her. At first i was taken aback, she is a very strong willed person, very independent and strong, it was a surprise to me to find that she might enjoy such a game. I never imagined such a request would come from her.

Since i’ve been curious about the Gor RP anyway, having only heard the outrageous rumors such as you’ve seen above and deciding instead to actually learn about something before i condemn it, I decided to give it a go.

It will never become my primary activity in SL and would never be appropriate in RL, but for a few hours a week, it may turn out to be a fun way to explore something different. AFter all, that’s why we are all in SL anyway, if SL is just RL in cartoon form, then what’s the point?

BUT, i do have to laugh at some of the reasonings many have for condeming such play, all while ignoring the damage their own RP might cause (using their own rational that exploration of something wrong in SL RP translates to support in RL). Consider this:

How many young girls in RL suffer from anorexia, bulemia, low self esteem and other such problems? Could it be more than are enslaved? I’ll bet it is.

Well then, we must do something about that. If you wear an attractive avatar, you are guilty of contributing to the horror that bulimia, anorexia and low self esteem bring to young women every day.

You too encourage an enslavement of sorts, an enslavement to an unreal expectation of what is “beautiful” or “attractive”, an enslavement that affect millions of young women, and men, in america and around the world, and causes untold amounts of suffering.

Wearing a barbie avatar means you support bulemia? Wearing a barbie avatar means you actually look like that in RL and that you believe all people should look like that? Are you ashamed of yourself, a “dork” or “loser” with no life who must RP barbie in SL to feel superiour since RL avatars do not offer you the admiration and respect you get in life from your less than perfect self?

Where is your fat avi? Where are all the normal looking people? How can someone in a Barbie or Ken avatar point to the GOR RPers and scream “crime! evil! wicked! disgusting! harmful!!” and ignore the horrors that such portrayals of perfection may cause to the psychological health of millions?

Before you start spouting off that GOR rpers support slavery or brutality in RL, perhaps you should reexamine your own RP in SL. Because even if you just have a mansion, a yacht and go to clubs, you are role playing. Unless you are one of the lucky one in a thousand who actually has such things in RL.

And to the guy who is proud of his sexual prowess, the guy who has four adulteresses in his bed, the sick pervert who seems to be in SL for sex and sex alone. How dare you, sir, point your finger at anyone. You are the dork, you are the loser, you are the one who needs help. YOU sir, are the one who is disgusting to me.

Adultery causes the most pain and suffering in RL of anything. To support such dishonesty and betrayal with your obvious pride shows that i should discount you as a sex freak, one who finds GOR threatening because it doesn’t support your “playboy” RPing. If you could really get four women to cheat on their spouses with you in RL, i doubt you’d find the time to SL at all. Examine your own pot sir, before calling the kettle black.
