Comments on: Art of Darkness – Capture Roleplay

You know, the unfortunate thing here is that this so called Roleplay Mentor bases what a person is capable of by their appearance.

In my time Roleplaying in purely text based environments,I have come to find that often it is the ‘average’ and ‘normal’ looking characters you need to be especially careful of: I use them myself as well, nothing quite like having Mr. Joe Normal suddenly becoming a Demon Wolf or simply a mental illusion by some Elemental Beast.

For me, I used to use such characters in a manner that combined seduction, mental control (to a point), a physical addiction (sometimes), bondage/capture (nine tails: use your imagination), force and even rape (to an extent).

Hell, I had (I have yet to bring this one over to SL, I cannot find all the visual parts I need) what I dubbed a Shadow Beast: A Darkness/Shadow Elemental Demon whose primary talent is the manipulation of the Shadows/Darkness near it: Bondage, rape and the like was not difficult for this type of character, in fact many of the scenes that my partners liked the most often involved the shadows within their own puss being formed into a dick and taking them … while several tendrils of shadow held them down, with another tendril fucking their mouth, all of this to wear them down before the Shadow Beast finally took a physical form to finish the job!

While I do not Roleplay often anymore (I currently only RP with one person) I am available to coach others and perhaps give a small taste of the sort of RP I used to engage in.

Message me in world sometime: Be warned, I am moving soon and will be out of communication for a bit so be patient.

If rape and roleplayed Non-consensual violence aren’t popular, please explain the popularity of RestrainedLife Viewer and all the accessories designed for it?

RLV and its accessories are implemented by the victim to limit their ability to escape or get out of bondage, Obviously us “sick fucks” needed something closer to real life…

My 2 cents

ummmm *ponders and scratches his chin* I have a question for all of those questioning the activities of the people who Rp such things.. What gives you the right to judge these people who enjoy roleplaying with, id like to point out, pixelated characters and text, who up until now, i hadnt realised got any rights at all and who are, in essecnce computer binary code floating around a wire somewhere. When its between two consenting adults be they male, female, both the same sex whatever. How can a pixelated character be ‘raped’? What? do you think the big bad man on the other side of the world is gonna pop out the screen and molest the female typist? *rolls his eyes* Ignorance is bliss sometimes isnt it?
Lets point out, its a fantasy for both parties. Ever fantasied about doing something but kown it wouldnt be right? imagined something that wasnt real? No? well you are quite quite dull because all secondlife is, is fantasy nothing more, nothing less. Be you driving a ferari you could never own in real life, swinging a sword in medieval roleplay or consenting CARP. Besides, just cus it isnt your idea of a fantasty dont make it wrong do it? Answers please, id really like to know. *laughs*

I’m betting most people who posted here that rape roleplay is wrong, are people who have used weapons in SL to pretend to kill other (consenting) players. If roleplaying murder is no big deal, then lesser crimes should not be forbidden from roleplay either.

When I read this article I was actually slightly relieved. I’m an avid CARP goer (when I can which is unfortunately not too often) but have been beginning to doubt my style of RP. I read with relief the section in the article talking about how one girl taunted her captor. Finally, someone else does too! Obviously I am not the only one who enjoys thinking up a variety of smart ass remarks and being punished for them.

The number of times a predator has captured me only to quickly set me free after the weakest of insults has been quickly adding up recently so it’s nice to be reassured once in a while that I’m not the only one out there.

In short this comment hails all the good CARP role players, smart ass remark making & sarcastic ones especially, and the author of this article for reminding me how I’m not the only one is CARP who likes it really dark sometimes…

Mary Meek

P.S. I don’t mean to be horribly critical but doesn’t anyone else think that the girl with that Predator, in the example given, definitely should have emoted more?
P.P.S Thanks again Wendell Holmer for writing the article! Very well written. And the more positive publicity CARP gets the better I say. So thank you!

Yet another example of pure ignorance, a pointless argument in the entirety because nobody stops and listens, they are too busy trying to be heard.

Basically if it isn’t for you, don’t do it, it is that simple. Yes a percentage of the female avatars on SL are in fact male, and vice versa. It is a fantasy world, each and every one of us can be who we want to be.

Obviously rape fantasies are going to be a sensitive subject for many people, and I respect their views. I guarantee I would never go onto a sim that is not specifically geared for rape play in order to promote or defend it. However it seems the respect is never a two way street, and the respectable people who are offended by such things may be respectable, but are in no wise respectFUL.

In an environment where a mouseclick can remove you from any situation there is no such thing as non-consentual play,anyone who engages in such activity is there because they choose to be there, whether they are on the giving or the receiving end, and if the previous complainant is right and “women do not like rape fantasies” then such environments would not exist for all the outrage to originate from.

I think it’s important to note here too that not *all* CARP scenarios end in a rape fantasy. Of course the sim is geared toward the BDSM crowd, a good deal of the RP that I’ve personally experienced never goes beyond heavy flirtation.

Some RPer’s have on their tag “strip only” which usually leads to scenarios that are certainly sexual in nature, but no more dangerous than say a game of virtual strip poker.

That being said, a sim like this will certainly attract its fair share of darker individuals; but as in anything in SL, they can only go as far as you let them. I’ve bee propositioned by some pretty shady characters just shopping.

It amazes me how sex, religion or politics can take normally sane people and make them into children bickering back and forth.
People come here to play – period. While I may not agree with every game played in the metaverse I do not chose to dump my morality on others.
For those people who wish to inject the moral rights and wrongs into every discussion perhaps they should look in the mirror. Is that avitar dressed like you? Does it look like you? If it doesn’t then aren’t you lying? Where’s the morality in that?
Reminds me of the old joke. A man asks a woman if she’d sleep with him for a million dollars and she thinks about it. When he then offers her less she exclaims, “What do you think I am?” His reply, “We’ve already decided that, now were dickering on the price.”

Fantasy is fantasy. There is not a person here who hasn’t thought about doing something that might stun the neighbors or Mrs. Grundy’s of the world. The difference is in carrying them out. This article was about someone’s idea of fun. If the article was about someone rubbing furry bunnies at the petting zoo someone might take offense and call it bestiality.
It’s all a matter of your perspective isn’t it?

Then again, Why Read Kinsey, and research the Subject before Speaking, when prejudice is such a Time/labour saver?

“When ones words are as Good as silence, Silence is preferable.”

“It is better to Remain Silent, and be thought a Fool, than to Speak, and remove all Doubt”
