missyrideout Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) The lewd sign above the bedroom window is what tips it into obnoxious for me. I'm not a prude, far from it. I DO on the other hand keep my depraved sex furniture and artwork within the walls of my home. I'm sure nobody on that block needs to be aware of the "spitroasting zone" Edited March 4, 2020 by missyrideout 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your apple trees drop rotten fruit and I can smell it from next door lol. get a life people and play SL for the fun and imagination for what it was intended for. You all act like it's a personal vendetta if the decor does not match your taste in butterfly pillows and frilly, pink garden gnomes.

Faye Blackheart Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Yeah, I mean it's not ideal...but I'm gonna go ahead and note that, personally, I'd rather see some nicely done mesh that's out of theme than some 1980's worthy prim/sculpty decor (which I see everywhere, names shall not be named lol). But, in the end the moles will decide. I'm curious to see what the result is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a parcel in this region and saw that build, and didn't have a problem with it. It's well done for what it is, but I would understand if folks didn't want to be its neighbor and AR'd it too. When you do a postapocalyptic build like that in a LH region, you would have to accept the risk that it would get AR'd. Obviously, destroyed homes are outside of covenant, but as RP zones that hopefully move on after a while, the occasional dark RP build is OK with me. I forget whose camper parcel it was that was set up with chain link fencing and a bunch of banged up cars etc., but for me, this is in the same genre. And everyone seemed to love that build. I didn't notice the 'spitroasting' sign, tho. The outside of the house is a bad choice for explicit references to sexual violence. 4 hours ago, Elora Lunasea said: P.S.: There's a dead body in the living room. I'm saving this phrase, what a wonderful throwaway! Next time some realtor wastes my Sunday by taking me to a bunch of horrible properties, THEN takes me to a great property which is ONLY $80,000 above my stated limit, I'm using this line.

WTF, Pussycat? I assume you're not meaning to compliment Chuckey on her nice hair. Let's remember that unless someone shares their racial/cultural identity, none of us know f**k-all about each other's race. Personally, I love that about SL - the level playing field, allowing folks who might feel oppressed by their RL identity - be they a minority race in their country, a member of a persecuted religion, a woman adrift in a misogynistic society, a foster child who feels different from kids with intact families, whatever -- to for once meet people and interact on a totally level playing field, where you can be sure that any accolades or slights you get are not due to identity. Throwing around racial epithets is not only simply rude, but also runs the risk of being very embarrassing, should a "Becky" turn out to have a black typist. Last time I checked, an affinity for neat homes and pretty builds was not evidence of white privilege; indeed, I don't think they are racially linked preferences in the least. Talk to LL if you don't like the covenant. 12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing against mentioning the people who stretch the interpretation of the covenant, or posters who think others do, and discuss it. For the one Art, for others crap and annoying.

People have all different reasons for choosing decor. I sometimes choose older pieces because they have sentimental value, I may use a sculpty when LI allocs don't permit mesh ground cover, I see absolutely nothng in the covenant mandating use of mesh.

Chuckey Jigsaw Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I'm going to say one last thing before I leave this thread for good. There is absolutely no, and I repeat, NO reason to throw around racist sh*t like Madame Catnap did. Nobody insulted her personally - she just did it without any reason. Funny thing is; She is the one who screams "that's racist..!" at any given time, but throws that exact bullsh*t into other people's faces just because she can..?! 🤔 I hope everyone is having a nice day. 💜 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And everyone seemed to love that build. I was thinking about that also. I'm glad I'm not on the governance team trying to make these decisions. For me there's a big difference between appreciating someone's building skill and how I feel about living next door to an art installation. My head ding dongs about reading these threads, seeing things from others points of view, whether that's the artist needing to respond to our virtual suburbia, the frustrated neighbour or the anger of someone who feels like their life experience is in danger of being air-brushed out of Belli, in pursuit of the niceness of outlook that so many of us (including me) crave. Maybe it would be good to have a counter-culture art festival, instead of displaying linden homes dressed up to the nines (i wish i could reach nine, I'm more in the fives) we could have linden models given over completely to artists. I know there was at least one house at the Home and Garden that did this, but what if they all were?. It might be a risk, and limits could be set but there is a legitimate case for an artist response to this amazing phenomenon, a huge, thriving, virtual housing estate located in cyber space. This isn't something i could possibly have imagined pre-internet, pre second-life, or even pre Belli. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only possible thing I see is was a floor added making it over 15m? Pussycat, darling. I've enjoyed your perspective on many threads here. We've never crossed paths before so I'm a bit mystified why you'd make this comment to me. I get the "Becky". The house I AR'd has nothing to do with whether or not it's a black/white thing. It solely has to do with Bellisseria - not the real world. Your comment makes many assumptions of me of which you obviously know nothing about such as I know nothing of inner city living for instance. You'd be wrong on that account but I'm not here to defend myself of your presumptions. That's on you to come to terms with. The house is completely out of character with daily living in Belli. Were it Halloween I'd think it pretty cool. And FYI for the record, your own home above? I would not AR that. The images on the house exterior are an extension of your personality and are not offensive to me personally. And I love your houseboat and the one you did for RFL. But a house with a bonfire and smoke, signs with foul graphic language outside, ugly fencing, dead people inside, and smashed plane bits strewn about? I can't just derender all of that. Yea. That's too much for me. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truly, at first I was like "that's an ugly fence they put up". And was going to let that go. Then was like "what's with all that smoke and fire that's lighting up the entire side of my yard?" so I walked over and then really got a good look and saw all the rest of it. Called Ghosty over who usually is pretty tolerant of stuff, and he too was like "OK, yea AR that". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, at least, the campers lend themselves to more of a carefree "theme", and yes, I did very much enjoy the junk yard look that parcel had. However, I wouldn't have enjoyed it as much if it had popped up on a street of lovely old Victorian houses (for example). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeye Afterthought Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I logged in to go see this place, and thought it was dead funny. Talked to owner of land too, dead funny. Land ain't g rated, so where's the problem really? No one can smell the smoke, things can be derendered. I'd live next door to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
