Maitimo Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 9 hours ago, Bree Giffen said: I've come up with a list of improvements that Linden Lab and Residents can implement to make SL more male oriented. The focus should be on doing things. Not talking or shopping but real action. Active stuff. 1. A better physics engine for more realistic vehicles. Flying a plane, driving a car or sailing a boat should look and feel believable. Driving your car off a cliff should cause an explosion! 2. Better sim crossings to continue with the idea of having a better vehicle experience. 3. Trees that can be chopped down with axes and chainsaws. The physics engine will help with this. 4. Something with guns like having wild animals running around that can be hunted. 5. Something with power tools like having to actually cut a prim cube from a log that you chopped down. 5. An intricate simulation of grilling and smoking meat. I'd be all in favour of the first two. And I have also played a critter-shooting game in SL once many years ago. It was fun, but not very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I peeked in here to see why the huge post-count. Ya'll are typing about things that aren't really about SL at all. RL has pretty well covered these topics. The debates are not really an SL topic. I'd recommend taking it to RL. Like these. Except real people use SL, and they bring their beliefs, values, and behaviors along with them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'd also start to panic when they came on too fast. If what you're killing is already dead, that's ok, ethically, right? Asking for PETA . . .

Asking for PETA . . . I can't even remember what I was shooting, but I am pretty sure it was some kind of animal, not zombies. Ducks, maybe? It was so long ago they were made of actual prims, and as far as I know, PETA doesn't cover prim ducks. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was directed at backwards Chris who was extra-grumpy about "why bother?" If he doesn't want to bother, then I shan't force my good cheer upon him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selene Gregoire Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Never heard of an International Men's Day and it isn't on my wall calendar so I googled. I'll be darned. There is such a critter. So... yay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus last thursday was International Day of the Whelk (soon to be consumed into International Day Of Snot In A Shell Day) Today is also World Toilet Day. I wasn't going to bring it up. Still, sanitation is an important issue. It's been a nice day on social media with people taking some time to praise the good men in their lives and talk about issues such as men's mental health and male suicide. I can't object. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajsa Lilliehook Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Our world, our imagination. SL is what its residents create. That men do not spend as much money on clothing factors into what people create to sell. That is not unfriendly to men, that is maximizing sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Solo Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 On 11/18/2019 at 1:26 PM, Orwar said: But I do find it very strange, with that 'equality' in mind, how misandry is socially acceptable and often encouraged, whilst the mere accusation of misogyny may cost you your job, your livelihood, and in extent, your home and life. How can there be equality or even democracy, when people are cut down for voicing an opinion? Strange, yes. Equality it is not, but rather the opposite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Second Life offers people to be who they want to be, and explore things which perhaps they can't in real life? I don't see in what way that is related to the topic itself though; the BDSM scene, as most others, also appears to have a shortage of men. What it looks like in Gor, I have no idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
