I am NOT saying people should not explore rape sims - that is their freedom - but I think that it is a fetish that appeals to a tiny demographic and is of no real interest to the vast majority of people - hence promote it as such - and keep it out of the main login page of SL - simple.

 

Do you know in what context it appeared there? I have never seen this on the main login screen, was it an event they were holding?

" I should have said why would anyone. "

It's OK Ciaran, no harm no foul.

" People should have to take some responsibility for setting their filters to adult, I really wouldn't like to see a Rape category appearing in search to cater for such content, that would be really bad publicity. "

I thought the OP was about the sim popping  up on the main page of the website. I'm able to see that sometimes without logging in. But I've been a bit perplexed, and also felt a bit hamstrung in the conversation, because I have never seen that happen here, myself. I took the OP on their word that it had happened to them here.

I wasn't talking about in world search; that's a different thing.

" We only used to have two maturity ratings, adult was added to help people avoid content they may find offensive. "

Or some said, then and now, because the teens were about to be welcomed in and the former teen grid dismantled; it was denied at the time but that's just what happened later.

We know not the ways of LL; they are mysterious.

Rape City ? Ehh.. Not the best thing to advertise on your front page.:matte-motes-smug: I mean its not smart when they know kids are on Secondlife, yea they can't do anything about kids being on here because they will always be on second life no matter what security changes they make. So we can't post adult pictures all over the place but they can support rape communties ? But then again you had your settings on adult and this is the things you get. I know not everything in the adult section is actually adult but you have to think about what the option really means. I can care less aslong as they don't teleport people there because they were near a reigion close to it, but the reigion was down or something. :matte-motes-not-even:

Dear Linden Lab,

 

I am seriously can not believe that I give money to this game lots of it too because I enjoy living in another world since my real life is so **bleep** up. But like last week I saw rape city and this week I saw another site called rape too. And the picture were of real a woman and men and of course the woman was getting rape not the men.

Don't worry, it's an equal opportunity thing.  There are many sims where men can go for their rape roleplay fantasies.

Otherwise, I do agree.  It shouldn't be splashed across a log-in screen, or across the top in search.  I'm all for getting your kink on/  But if I'm not looking for kink at that time, I don't want to see porn pics.  Adult sims aren't all kink-oriented.

And, yes to the person (Jeg?), rape is a very common fantasy.

honestly, the mis spelling is normally someone forgetting to add ' to linden lab's... as in "linden lab's website"... and ppl just saying linden labs.... then others see that, and assume its labs instead of just LAB... sorry, i am a wee tired, and i tend to be a wee ocd about a few things.... however, i also make common mistakes.

I have to agree and say I am surprised about Linden Lab allowing this or any other sim considered "adult" to be advertised on their main log-in page. In my book, they are violating their own TOS by doing so.

Not even a liitle bit. the TOS says nothing about rape. If you uncheck "Adult" you wont see them.

I also agree with a lot of previous comments though about what is allowed in SL no matter how deviant. I abhor violence in general and especially against other women but to not allow its virtual representation does beg the question on who draws the moral line. We all know that Linden Lab has drawn one - squiggly and very unclear as it is - but mostly due to legal threats. That is why gambling and underage play are definitely restricted;
US federal lawmakers beat the war drums loud enough that LL banned both before criminal investigations started
.

It is against US federal law to show depictions of children in sexual situations. LL had nothing to do with it. The law was geared towards the overseas child pornogrphy rings. They included digital depictons to cover the internet. SL just happens to fall within that ruling. Virtual gambling is also illegal in the US.. hence why it is banned as well. Again, nothing to do with SL or LL.

On the other hand, having sex with furries and other animal depictions for example are not banned because those moral laws are mostly at the state level, and no one has yet to take LL to court for it.

Last time i checked, furries were not real creatures. Dogs and horses are. Beastiality is prohibited in SL as it is against US federal law. AR it and it should go away.

The same goes for international law; no one is willing to pay the legal fees yet to start an international court battle on internet law. For good or bad, that leaves virtual reality wide open to all forms of deviant behavior where the only moderators are the companies that provide the services.

Since my moral compass is different from any other person's, I practice tolerance (not to be confused with acceptance). I personally stay away from places that offend me but don't judge others on their own lines in the sand. In return, I expect the same treatment by others when they see me pixel bumping or dancing for tips. In that way I am ok with allowing violence-themed sims. What I am not ok with though is the hypocrisy Linden Lab runs SL by as I mentioned right off. In my book, the only thing worse than someone passing judgment on me is someone who does not follow the values they try to impose on others. That should be the real topic of this discussion.

Whos values should be followed? LL set rules and guidelines that are made by US federal laws, not values.  If you see someone breaking the TOS report them.

All states, not some. Rape RP is not illegal, in any form. And that is all SL is, a huge RP.

"any form" is not quite true in the USA

while private ownership and viewing of any form of rape RP is not illegal

distribution/transmission by default must meet the Miller Test on obscenity according to US Supreme Court. Court rule is not for it to determined what is actual obscene or not. is for the States to do this for themselves. bc what can be considered obscene in say Maryland may not be considered obscene in California. or vice versa

so is legal for states to ban distributions of depictions of types of rape RP if they consider that it not meet the Millar Test and therefore is legal obscene in their State

is also legal for the feds to prosecute people who transmit/distribute obscene depictions/materials across State lines

+

is a reference here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Extreme_Associates

the main part was that the US Supreme Court decline to hear the case and send it back to the Circuit Court where it was ruled:

"we [the Circuit Court] have declined to equate the privacy of the home ... with a 'zone of privacy' that follows a distributor or a consumer of obscene materials wherever he goes,"

and concluded that precedent had not in fact been overturned by the Lawrence ruling, and the trial judge had erred in law to state they had. Only the [united States] Supreme Court could say if their own prior decisions had been overturned, and they had reserved that right to themselves in past cases

about the bestiality

is quite weird how different countries deal with this

where I live Aotearoa New Zealand depictions of bestiality is illegal. can go to jail for that

but is not illegal to actual do it to animals. here we just think you a bit mental if you do. can get prosecuted as a criminal for animal abuse and suffering. is any number of experts happy to testify that the animal suffered

and also the Court will order that you have to go for psychiatric assessment. and if you not repent of your sexual lusts for animals then can get locked up in the looney bin for the rest of your life

about the Destination Guide

if you set your viewer to General then the Destination Guide will still show the Adult section. and you can read the descriptions

for completeness so it fits with the rest of the viewer then linden should probably not display the Adult section when is set for General or General/Moderate

Honestly... where would you rather all these fetishes go on?

In Second life where Linden Lab can, somewhat control where it all happens... or out in the real world...

SL is  a place to act out your own fantasies.. be it, a family rp, a creative side, or... for some an extreme sexual side complete with fetishes...

Don't judge.. I personally think, it is better here, with consenting adults..

I agree totally!....its discusting and should be removed alond with its creaters also this place should be looked at and removed ASAP BESTIALITY SEX BARN~Breeding **bleep** Brutal **bleep** rape rough weird , Vinewood - Adult

 

Im amazed that this type of evil promotion is available to encourage already sick and twisted minds...

 

GET IF OFF SL!!!!!

Posted

With all do respect to your opinion "DARK" Auten...Dont be so naive to believe that this type of  SL "fantasy" or "role playing" is going to stop anything happening in RL!..

 

Allowing UN healthy, evil and humiliating acts on humans and the innocents of animals is encouraging this type of behavior people then become "De - sensitizes" to it and then these psychologically disturbed people think its OK.

 

Would you agree with the rape of a Innocent child to be OK ???...OK to act OUT the FANTASY?..Is it OK to brutally RAPE another human being or an innocent and beautiful animal????....regardless if its REALor NOT its the principal of it...In NO WAY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES IS THIS TYPE OF UN HEALTHY BEHAVIOR OK!"

 

encouraged enough people start to act out their fantasy.

True, it's a necropost but had that not happened I'd never have seen the last couple of pages. When it was still current I just stopped looking at it since it was an unpleasant topic to begin with. Thus I missed this from one of my favorite forum contributors of all time: 16. It's at the top of the page here.

"about the bestiality

I'm still laughing at the 'Is any number of experts..." line.

There are alot of things that I have seen on SL I don't understand how it can be alowd. Rape sims happen to be one of them. When you look for urban sims there are more rape sims that come up then normal urban rp sims. Why anyone would want to be rapped even virtualy is beyond me. Adults in kid AV's is another one I don't understand. But, with that said, people don't have to go to those sims if they don't want to. Simply stay away from them.

Too bad that topics gone idle for a while can't be auto-locked, if a new comer feels strongly enough about a topic they could open up a new one without being an accidental necroposter.  But since the forum admins can't even stop the almost daily Mumbai escort spam storms ....
