I don’t think Nekos, are really half cat half human people behind the computers, nor do I assume Furries are real animals that have learnt how to use the computer.

The people that choose to play in roleplay sims such as the ‘Star Wars’ themed sims are not really Jedi’s, and I don’t think that everyone that hangs out at places like Hard Alley are all pimps, rapists, or whores!!

Plenty of people like to spend time at ‘High School’ themed Roleplaying Sims, and I am sure they arent all students, and what about the ‘Pirate’ Roleplaying theme, I don’t think there are that many Captian Jack’s in the world.

I really don’t see that this girl is hurting anybody by pretending to be Japanese, she is just playing a ‘role’ that she enjoys and surrounding herself with a culture that she obviously admires. Why would you take offense to that? If I was Japanese I would be flattered that someone enjoyed my culture so much they had to chosen to live their sl that way?!

I have no problems with anyone ‘pretending’ to be something else in secondlife, after all isnt that half the fun sometimes?! lol

As for the stolen skin/freebie skin……yes I agree it is not a great idea to photograph someone wearing a stolen skin, but I can also see that it was probably an innocent mistake from both the model and the photographer.

I think the interview was interesting and the photos were good, Yasha looked lovely, and I enjoyed reading about another part of SL that I didnt know existed.

Open mouth insert foot?

I am a Yoshiwara Geisha and a French Canadian. I have never pretended to be Japanese. Yoshiwara is a Secondlife sim based on Edo Era Japan. We are a roleplay sim where anyone can come to learn about and recreate historical culture. The Ladies here come from all over the world. Some Japanese, some not. All have an interest in geisha life and in Japanese culture. Love of something and a desire to roleplay and learn doesn’t make anyone a pretender. Rather I think it celebrates a culture and way of life we find fascinating and gives people with those interests a place to come in Secondlife to enjoy that aesthetic. We never claimed to be Japanese in real life or absolutely perfect in our roleplay or re-creation but I think we do a pretty good job. That’s what Secondlife is for, imagination, art, and the re-creation of your dreams. The geisha of Little Yoshiwara all share a love and fascination for the dream they hope to create. As always if it isn’t something you don’t agree with or enjoy, you do not have to visit.

As for Yasha-San I, personally, think she’s a beautiful person and her avatar is cute too. She has always been utterly kind to me and I’ve found her to be generous and lovely. Generally when people have such negative things to say it’s more of a personal problem than anything to do with the person it’s being said about. If people are talking about you it’s usually because you’re doing something right. Don’t stop honey.

Bloody terrible photos as usual

But you knew that didn’t you?

Great job Yasha liked it very much See you soon around *hugs*

I think if you’re fapping to something that isn’t part (really whole) animal, you’re a fair bit strange yourself. Considering the human race is a part of the animal kingdom. But hey, maybe you think that bucket under the sink is really sexy! Or maybe that fern in your office is just a total slut.
