Of course, some people interested in age play may indeed be interested in actual pedophilia. Some people who are into BDSM may also be into actual nonconsensual rape, too, but that doesn’t mean that a majority (much less all) of them are. I realize that this is a controversial topic, but try to remain open-minded to things you don’t understand.

Thank you.

Second Life is no sicker than real life, and as you mentioned, this concept is not new. (Spesfficly because there is a word for it in the english language)

And your entidled to your opion, and in america entilded to express it, Unfortunatly So as am i.

Two Mature Consenting individuals, Regardless of Age and Orgian, may do what ever the hell they want. Emphisis on Mature and consenting, There is not an agelimit for mental matureity, as proven by those mentaly handy caped out there.
Secondly Consenting: Unlike real life, in the online world, and expecialy second life, you are not bound to anything or anyone, and can leave at will. There is no feeling of entrapment, no forcing a person to do anything.
Ageplaying at its core is no diffrent from any other kind of relation ship, There are emphisises stressed, and preffrences pandered to, but genergaly agreed on prior to getting together.
For example: Homosexuals, Sadists, Hedorosecuals, ect.
Peoples actions are driven by their emotions, gilt is only one human programing another, and remorse the product of that programing, regardless of how “off-beat” a person’s programing is with Darwin’s theory, they are still driven by the same powers that guide any of us.
The diffrence is, that Socity is begining to come to acceptance with these other groups, and while Age Play may be “Immoral,” “Creapy,” and “Just wrong.” That is mearly just the result of your Pre-Programing properly taking effect.

Congradulations, Large Animals do Not need to eat you. However.
Just as any Pornigraphic Cituation, if either party takes offence, they are One Click away from it.

While that is entirely baseless, and Irrational, so is the feelings that define humanity. Unlike your baseless generalization however, There are intelegent people leading our military, there’d have to be or else we would be gone.

As for online relation ships, The emotions a player feels in any given socal cituation are real, and no amount of logic be victorios over Those irational imotions.

While everyone is Focused on the player admiting fault here, It seems no one has mentioned that the Juvinile was here illigaly, and consented in the relation ship for a long time. I’m not telling people its right or wrong but i wont sit by and let you bash humanity in general.

It is our ability to feel, to act irationaly, that proves we are above the animals. (No offence Furies i mean actual animals.)

Maybe the Lindens should start up Credit Card authentication again to cut down (not out, obviously… nothing is perfect) on the number of children playing in the adult grid. It might just ratchet down some of the horrible griefer crap that seriously escalated after they dropped the responsible practice.

We should definitely ban the age players. Then we should go after the bestiality players (furries), then the torture advocates (BDSM), and the slavery advocates (Goreans). When we’re done with them, we can shut down all the weapon shops (including light sabre sales) and combat sandboxes, as they glamorize violent crime and encourage people to kill in RL. If we have time left, we can go after all the sexual fantasy sims and clubs that allow escorts on the premises. They obviously exploit women and glorify rape.

God forbid we should be able to do things in a game that aren’t legal or ethical in RL. That would just ruin the whole point of playing! Rest assured that Gino and I pray for the day when SL is sold to a gigantic parent corporation that will ban all this ‘imagination’ stuff, and make SL just as sterile and mainstream as a television sitcom.

Thank you, and goodnight.
