In this meme, is Ernie a furry because he’s dressed up like Kermit, an animal?

[Lindal Kidd]

You don't.  While it may be distasteful, sex with animals does not violate the Second Life Terms of Service. (Drat, you are right.  Use of the quite proper word for this was not allowed by the censorship algorithm.)

Well...you CAN report it, of course.  You can Abuse Report anything you like.  But it won't be acted on.

You should also edit your post to remove the images, which disclose avatar names.  "Naming names" is against forum policy and could get YOU in trouble.

The US might have a very liberal attitude when it comes to actual animals being sexually abused, but this is not the case everywhere. Even virtual depictions of such abuse isn't guaranteed to be legal everywhere SL operates.

This is certainly not as simple as teh-evil-morality-police.

[Kristin Linden]

So before I close this, I wanted to drop in a quick note about reporting possible ToS violations.

If you believe that you have encountered something that may be a possible violation of the Terms of Service in-world, please feel free to report it by submitting an Abuse Report. We will look into it further and determine the best course of action for the reported issue.

We also have a handy dandy Knowledgebase Page if you're unsure as to how to file an Abuse Report!

Thanks!

As Lindal says OP, it's not against the rules. Stop trying to be the morals police, far too many of those as it is.

While a person having intercourse with an animal may be distasteful, land having intercourse with an animal sounds fascinating.

Once upon a time I owned a region and rented some land out. Mr dog lover moved in, I queried LL for advice and was told to eject them and report for abuse.

I am astonished.  I mean, after all, there are pet dogs for sale (or there were, I haven't checked lately) that were capable of...ahem.  I guess there are Morals Police everywhere, even in LL.

Interesting - I could only see an abuse report if activity was happening on General rated land or out in the open on Moderate land.

They still exist. The strange thing to me was the creator's fascination with how long canine sperm can live in the human body and the hopes that some day animal hybrids would result from such intercourse, heh.

I'm pretty sure it is illegal just about everywhere in the US, if not everywhere - 'animal cruelty'.  I was just surprised that LL would say to AR it, given that as far as I know, the only restrictions on it in SL would be location.

This is actually the case with a few things that happen in SL, but mostly LL doesn't restrict activity based on that.  Best I can tell, it is up to the user to not go see such things.

[Kyrah Abattoir]

Yeah it's illegal in reality.

But technically those arent dogs (or people), they are just pixels.

[velvetgurl]

i know what your referring to , yeah  theres some sick people about ibest thing to do is report to sl, but i may add, in some countries extreme porn is not illegal ie if it was in the usa, it is in the uk, then sl would have to take action to take it down or sl would be taken down and investigated and many people could get imprisonment for it and i think sl would have to abide by the law of there country which in no doubt they do so its all about the law in which country u are i suppose, difficult that one

Binder, there is no law in Second Life.  This is a fairly tricky legal concept, so I'll try to explain.

Linden Lab, as a corporation, must comply with the laws of the United States, the country in which it is based.  It must also comply with the laws of the countries where it offers its services...and that's everywhere, just about.

But, just because LL has to obey all the laws, that does not automatically mean that all of us who use Second Life have to do so.  What WE have to obey is the Linden Lab Terms of Service, the Community Standards, and the various LL policies that are referenced in them.

The Second Life virtual world is not a legal venue, it's a corporate one.  We, as avatars, are not legally recognized entities, because we're anonymous.  So the laws of this country and that country don't actually apply to us directly.

How does LL keep everything from descending into complete anarchy, then?  By making us agree to follow the ToS when we sign up, and enforcing that by imposing suspensions or bans on those who do not.

Let's see how this works by examining an actual example.  There used to be a lot of kiddie sex in SL.  Working on the argument that "it's only pixels and roleplay, and we are really all adults here," many people created child avatars, and then engaged in virtual sex activities with adult avatars.  Now, in Germany, this sort of roleplay is against the law.  I don't recall if Germany took any sort of action against LL, but whether it was in anticipation that they would, or in response to it, or simply a response to unfavorable publicity created by a couple of news reports, LL changed their policy and specifically forbade kiddie sex in the ToS.

There is still some kiddie sex in SL, but now it is a reportable offense and will result in a ban from LL.  This is about the only form of virtual deviance that is actually forbidden by the ToS.

EDIT:  I had to use "kiddie sex" rather than the actual term used by LL's own ToS due to LL's stupid auto censor.  Sheesh.

It's a pixel animal... unless they are on webcam violating an actual animal. There is no rule against that kind of stuff in SL. Because it's not a REAL animal being harmed. The best option is to mute them and carry on.  Most people who do that kinda stuff. Stay in sims where that stuff goes on. So if you happen to see that going on in front of you. Then you are in the wrong sim, best teleport out. And if it's going on in a sim that doesn't allow that kind of stuff. Then Report it to  sim owner Via snapshot and include resident's names in the notecard.

If you want to AR the beastality places, you might as well tackle the furry community too.

Ori s this something totally different?

Unless they're harming REAL animals. There isn't must anyone can do. AR'ing them will be a waste of time. And linden labs will overlook it. Because they are not doing anything against the law.

Without passing any judgement on the morals of it, but just to correct what you say there, some places in the world do indeed have depiction of this as a crime, including depictions in writing, video games, and drawings.

General advice is : Always obey your local laws as well as the TOS and CS of secondlife, if on doubt it's best to err on the side of caution.

Engaging in intercourse with a pixel animal in second life isn't against the law in the U.S nor is it against TOS.  IT IS against the law to FILM " real-life" animals engaging in intercourse with "real-life" people in the U.S. As well as getting caught doing it or anyone knowing you do that, you can go to jail for animal cruelty. And posting it on social media as well as porn sites. THEY CAN post 3d or anime animal Stuff on porn websites, however, it is up the site owner to remove them. As long as it's not real animals.. no law has been broken. And there is no TOS against animal intercourse in second life. I'm not trying to protect anyone who engages in such stuff. I'm all for the law.

It is up to sim owners and residence to MUTE and BAN if they don't wanna see that.

And stay out of sims that got that kinda stuff. Linden Labs HQ is BASED in the U.S.

as long as furries stick to their own species its no different than two humans being intimate. its having intimate relations with a member of a different species that seems to be the problem. so to be safe anthropomorphic foxes should only be intimate with other anthropomorphic foxes.

It's an avatar.. not a real person. The person behind the avatar is real. But the avatar itself isn't real. Really wish people would understand the difference. And most furries are bigot buttheads anyway. There have been some human/furry couples. Because behind the avatar YOU ARE HUMAN!  Wow congratulations
