Frankly Second Life is just an excuse for a majority of RL weak pissant males to behave badly and the reaction to Katrina’s story is that of a bunch of whacked out geeks just waiting to be offended so they can savage someone. Anyone will do. Virtual hyenas.

Sure, the article was satirical, but pointedly so. Of course one can’t be actually raped in a virtual world but one can be taken by surprise and virtually assaulted which is far from a pleasant emotional experience. Of course one can tp out, log off or even fight back. But that’s hardly the point. One shouldn’t have to. The point of the article was to provoke discussion and that’s why it was framed dramatically and provocatively.

Good O’l Ordinal Pepperbox sure does come in handy! That’s how you deal with a so called “SL rapist” Katrina

AWESOME! That would rock come the next CSI Does SL! Female Avis beware! The SL Rapist is on the loose! Excellent RPG in the making. ;-p

PS to mods – yes I know I’m late, I’m late for everything…but come on. Please pop these two on here…you can’t post this article and then not let people wig on it.

PPPS: Um, was this article a joke? C’mon…it was satire, right?

Oh please.

I think Katrina is full of shit. Or this is a parody. But still, nobody should pretend to be this stupid!

I don’t know…she lost me right up top with trying to pawn off a horror story of some terrifying event with “avatar’s evil eyes” and then from there it just degenerated into fits of hysterical laughter. If she’s sincere, she should have her kids removed permanently and she needs to be institutionalized because she’s a fucking screwball.

But this part here was the kicker…

The only steps I have taken as a result of this is to remove Second Life from the desktop computer and install it in my Powerbook.

LMFAO. Get real. The ONLY steps she - who apparently has zero capacity to distinguish between real life and a computer simulation but also has zero capacity to distinguish between a griefer running into her and "actual" rape - it wasn't even a rape simulation, the ONLY steps she takes though, amusingly enough, is that she uninstalled it from the computer.

Then she turns around and puts it on her private laptop...riiiight. What, can't we finish the sentence? I was so horrified I had to uninstall it off the computer!!! And put it on my laptop....so I could find him in world at CARP, whilst wearing my baughty whore leather teddy that I bought at Necrotica Isle!

Then again, Katrina Eales might really be....her!!!

We’re missing the one thing that can forever stop this from
EVER happening to you in SL and it can be summed up in a few words: Log Off and Delete Second Life from your computer.

Don’t walk away mad- just walk away.

If you can’t separate RL from SL, you shouldn’t be on it in the first place- and certainly not dragging your husband and children into your delusions along the way.

If you think you were ‘virtually raped’- generally a very weak charge at best, since you almost always have to allow ‘animate avatar’ for the virtual action to take place- why don’t you take your poor, ravaged virtual self to the nearest virtual police station and file a virtual report? (Note the operative part of all that being- you guessed it- VIRTUAL.)

Better yet- IM me and we can talk. My time is worth L$400 per 15 minutes for the Girlfriend Experience (and no sex involved- forced or voluntary) unless you ugrade to the slightly more expensive Porn Star Experince!

I think i’m going to go back to my original thought that the writer of this is a troll, since she hasn’t commented at all to any of her now two stories.

Children do not belong in SL. Period.

You might want to grow up a bit too.

I really hope you aren’t serious about this article. If you aren’t, it’s in very bad taste.

It sounds to me like some griefer disturbed you for a few minutes and now you want to put their name out for all to see what a “bad man” he is. He probably just wanted to annoy somebody for a bit, but you took it extremely personally and made up little scenarios in your head.

If it was so traumatic for you and scared your kids, why did you not just turn the volume down or teleport right away? You could have even even orbited him or shot back if you really wanted. Nobody would really be harmed either way. Also, are you really so immersed in a virtual world that you try to protect your real children from bullets on a computer screen? Seriously.

Do NOT compare a events that happen in a virtual world, a world where you are in full control and everything is consensual to real life events. Actual rape is a horrible traumatic event, there is no comparison. Some of us have been unfortunate enough to have had to experience it ourselves. I will not elaborate on that more as apparently you are not intelligent enough to understand how utterly offensive and absurd your article is.

Katrina, please, do as others have suggested and just log off and don’t come back.
