1. Pedos are people who pray on REAL CHILDREN. child avis are not real children. if a pedo was on sl and i am sure they are all over the teen grid where actual children really are… then i doubt very seriously they would be playing a child avi. That just plain does not make sense.

2. I guess if someone wearing a child avi makes them pervs or pedos, then i guess all of the furries have sex with their dogs, all the whores on sl work street corners in rl everyday of the week, I do seem to remember running into a place on sl where people were rping eating other people… so lots of hanible canibles out there too, and lordy at the rapists in real life, and the real slaves *eye roll* I don’t think most of you realize how stupid you sound. Seriously.

And those of you who said that without ageplay and beastiality that we would have a decent community….ROFL!! maybe if we all had pg sims, no nudity, no sex… then it would be decent. But sl has a long way to go before it can ever hope to be called “decent”

Get a life folks

Not that this will do a damn bit of good to the thick headed whiners, but here’s another (futile) attempt to clear up the picture here.

Grown adults having sex with minors = illegal here, not illegal elsewhere…ERGO the ire against LL for trying to legislate it ACCORDING TO US STANDARDS is the problem people are having. Yes, LL is a US based entity, but its software is being used worldwide and will NEVER practically be monitored effectively anyway. As much as I’ve learned about the SL vision, it seems to me that the whole LL provision is lip service to shut the nutjobs up, they couldn’t possibly police it beyond a few token bans even if they tried. They can’t even keep up with tech support emails.

Now, as for personal rights, I’m in the US. In OUR country we HAVE a Constitution that I’m sure every whackjob religious nut would just love to see burned to a cinder so as to outlaw everything that threatens them, but the spirit of this document in people like myself and countless others is what isn’t going to GET BANNED no matter how much some people whine and throw their little “godly” bitchfits.

A grown adult and a child is illegal, so LL says NOPE.

A grown adult and a grown adult consenting to age play is THEIR OWN BUSINESS. You might think it’s the creepiest thing in the world, you might be so offended you pee carrot juice but the bottom line is IT AINT YOUR DAMN BUSINESS what ANYONE else does.

Nobody “makes” you feel all creeped out. You are creeped out because of a PREEXISTING mental fixation on sexual repression and every other kind of repression, and you already believe (flawed as it is) that anything and everything “external” has some inherent power to “cause” you to feel anything at all, and when you start twitching and flipping out, losing your mind – that’s YOUR OWN psychology causing it. You want to get rid of everything that threatens you, the problem isn’t with external reality, real or virtual, the problem is, you have a screwed up, malfunctioned, mythological bullshit set of assumptions that are so disconnected from reality that you can’t sleep nights unless you can get rid of what threatens you.

Newsflash: you never will because you live your life on your knees ANYWAY. We could outlaw everything until there’s nothing left but a few men and some rocks and you, and the day will come when one guy can’t control his own insecurity and hang ups that he bashes some other guy’s head in with a rock and then you will jump up all over again hollering about let’s outlaw rocks!

The problem isn’t the expression. It’s the one’s doing the expression, and no matter how badly that threatens your entire sense of self (low as it is), IT’S NOT YOUR DAMN BUSINESS what anyone else does, for good or ill if you aren’t personally involved. If you’re the one getting slammed in the head with the rock, THEN you can bitch. Until then, shut up and mind your own business.

THAT is what people are defending, not the rock bashers or the pedos. Sure pedos have problems…but it’s NOT YOUR BUSINESS unless one of them is screwing YOUR kid. They’re not going to get therapy for their issues no matter how much you pitch a fit.

And for LL to impose this rule on people who are NOT ENGAGING IN ACTUAL pedophelia is not right. Consider this please – on two other articles here there’s the Katrina Eales crap where she got griefed and wrote this bullshit and EVERYBODY (except 2 or 3 idiots) called her out that IT’S NOT ACTUALLY RAPE, YOU WERE NOT RAPED OR ASSAULTED. And that guy running the avatar isn’t necessarily some budding serial rapist because he knocked her ass off a mountain with his giant dick.

Well the same thing goes for the ageplay business. You don’t have any idea who’s behind the avi. LL should be fixing the sign up process to do everything it can to insure minors do NOT join, but by and large, grown adults are consenting to ageplay and it is NOT pedopheilia. All it does is gross some people out. But that’s your problem if you’re grossed out…it doesn’t give you the right to holler ‘ban’ – you got the issue, you get the therapy.

Personally, ALL RELIGIOUS NUTS offend me by their very existence. I would love nothing more than for you idiots to really have a rapture so you’d get the hell off our planet, but I recognize that’s a delusion that won’t happen in real life and that it’s still illegal for me to launch a religious death camp for all of them. So instead of getting in SL and bitching and moaning about the religious fucks spewing their delusional crap all over the place, I’m reasonable enough, and secure enough, and have spine enough to just keep scrolling, or go on about my business, and ignore them.

I think they’re all completely full of shit and 100% responsible for the shape of this planet…but unless and until they show up at MY door blathering that crap on me personally, they don’t threaten me and I am fully capable of ignoring them.

If you want to be all self righteous about pedophiles, turn the damn computer off and go through your neighborhood and start exposing the ACTUAL pedophiles who actually ARE screwing children, and keep your nosey beaks out of the business of grown adults getting off to whatever their kinks happen to be…THEN maybe somebody will accept that your a bastion of civility in the community. Until then you’re just a pios pain in the ass.

Why speak up about things that don’t seem to affect you?
Perhaps Pastor Martin Neimoller’s view in one version of his quote will answer that question.
He supported the Nazis until he realized, too late, what they were really about and was sent to Dachau concentration camp.
He was one of the fortunate to be freed and live until 1984.

First they came for the Communists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Social Democrats,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Social Democrat.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up,
because I wasn’t a Jew,
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.
