Velren Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 OK, I am relatively new to SL so please forgive me if this topic has been beaten to death. I was in an adult themed sim the other day and came upon what clearly appeared to be a child avatar on a sexual pose with another resident. I opened that avis profile and on the first page there was a 'disclaimer' claiming she was an (ageless) fairy. While her RP info claimed she was centuries old she admited to retaining the look she had since a young child. So, as I stated, being rather new I IMd a friend and they said they knew there was a mention of fairies in the SL ageplay stance but neither of us are very clear just exactly what that is. If a character looks like a 12 year old yet claims to be an adult fairy do I have the right to report them? Should I have? Thank you all for your time reading and responding (and hopefully not trolling),Velren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UncommonTruth Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Eek, that's a good question. I browsed, and couldn't find an answer, so I'm curious to see what's said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iCade Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 If it looks like a kid it should be treated as such. I would have filed an AR regardless. ETA: 100% sure SL does not allow this approach. Else the pedophiles will simply say "I thought I was banging a fairy!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rival Destiny Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Yes I have to say that this is against TOS. Bottom line, if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck then yeah, it's a duck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca Iridescent Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I would have reported them. There are plenty of ADULT fairy avatars out there, she was promoting pedophile behavior by having her avatar appear as a child. I am pretty sure that is against the TOS.

Melita Magic Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I started SL as a 'fae' and at no point did I look like a child. Their excuse is BS. Since only LL can decide anyway, let them be the final judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charolotte Caxton Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Anyone who is playing a child avatar needs to be at least 18 to be at an Adult rated location, so their real life age or character's age is irrelevant. An avatar should be considered a child avatar if it looks like a child. An avatar that looks like a child may not be engaged or even in proximity to anything sexual whatsoever. Looks is the key, not the words of a profile. This is the official word on that, it says fairies are not necessarily child avatars, but I would say, most reasonable humans understand the difference between a fairie and a child. I would strongly recommend reporting child avatars engaged in sexual representations. "What is a Child avatar? Quite simply, a child avatar is any avatar that attempts to present as a youth. This is not limited to humans, and can include furries (referred to in this instance as "cubs" or "babyfur"), neko, vampires, and other avatar selections. Some doll avatars might also fit in this category. This does not necessarily include fairies (which may be child-like in appearance, as well as smaller than the average avatar), tinies (although human baby-shaped tinies do exist), or those wearing gothic lolita and/or cosplay fashions and styles." -http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Child_Avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just prior to that, it said that if an avatar looks like a child, it is to be considered a child avatar. How is 'child like appearance' different than appears to be a child?

Charolotte Caxton Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Child like is a young looking fairy, like tinkerbell, no one would confuse her for a child, yet she is certainly not a woman and she is very small. A child is usually childish looking, stubby body, large head, and no breasts. Fairie: Child: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just prior to that, it said that if an avatar looks like a child, it is to be considered a child avatar. How is 'child like appearance' different than appears to be a child? I interpret that as meaning that size alone does not make a child. Fae are small, as well as other avi types, But there are adult faires and child faires and i can clearly see a difference in the two regardless of the avatar's size. A child fairy would have to follow the rules for children.. Age of the RL person or the supposed age of the character has nothing to do with it. The prohibition exists because many places have RL laws against depicting anything that looks like a child engaging in adult sex regardless of the actual age of the person playing the child or the fact that its only a cartoon or animation.. I would have reported it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UncommonTruth Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I would have too, without thinking about the whole fairy side track. If I'd thought about it.. idk, I probably would have reported and then come here and asked like this person did lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anita61 Anatine Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 When in doubt, just report it and let LL handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deb Palmer Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Velren, LL takes age play VERY seriously and bottom line is, there's no harm in filing a TOS report. If LL determines that the person is alright based upon the fairy claim, that's their call. I'd certainly report it to keep my own conscience clear.

Payne Lionheart Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I would be surprised if SL did not act on this since It seems the majority here all agrees that it should be reported. What kind of consequence is involved? I would hope a ban, but there are always loop holes around that. :matte-motes-not-even: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is a mistake on their part to use the phrase child like, when it's such a huge issue as this. They should say young looking adult or something instead, or just forget qualifying it altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally erroneous using the term 'child like' & only allows those who look for ways to 'take advantage' in order to comply, can easily do so. Is it me or is this not OBVIOUS to anybody speaking the English language? Perhaps this is a loophole so that this can happen...shrugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
