Gopi Passiflora Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Â ...to use as a regular avatar? This is the regular avatar of my "Gopi Passiflora" account. I act "normally" in Second Life (for the most part.) I interact with people as Gopi using most of my "real" personality. I even keep Breedable Fawns as Gopi. I'm just wondering if you get any sort of dissonance upon seeing my regular avatar (i.e. strange appearance but fairly normal behavior.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MirandaBowers Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I think I have seen that avatar in world. It looked perfectly fine to me, not scary in any sense. I just thought it was realistic vs cartoonish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fauve Aeon Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 For me, it causes dissonance but thatâs because of a purely personal thing.  possibly boring and unrelated story-time: When I was a kid, I had insomnia and had lots of instances of this weird half-awake state where I would see all kinds of things. One was a âlittle manâ who looked remarkably like this, peeking over the side of my bed. That didn't scare me, he was benign and just seemed curious, never stayed long or did/said anything...but it freaked me out when I first saw a picture of a âgrey alienâ, showed it to my mother and said âoh look, thatâs my little manâ. That simple remark earned me years of therapy and a sh*t-ton of very un-fun tests. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kali Wylder Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Hard for me to decide, I'd have to see them in world to know for sure what my reaction would be. Does it smile? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Read this book. It talks about how aliens can take you away while you are sleeping.... and then you stop reading and go to bed feeling incredibly paranoid. But I do like the avatar. đ˝đŹ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question, though, is why Gopi wants to breed fauns -- for what strange purposes could a space alien need a regular supply of fauns in the first place? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyacinth Hird Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It is not too evil or strange looking, but it *is* an illegally copied and uploaded mesh from a commercial video game, XCOM.

Ardy Lay Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Just now, Tarina Sewell said: Minding their own business or looking the other way. They need to be monitoring these things. This is exactly why so many creators are leaving SL. Because in all the 7 offices of Linden lab(s) no one is in charge of watching for stolen content. Yeah, I do wish Linden Lab would, or is it could? I fear that they might lose 'safe harbor' status if they tried policing the content that users upload. If they lose that, then they are subject to lawsuits and damages claims for anything they host that might possibly belong to somebody that doesn't want it there. DMCA protects the host by making identifying infringing content the responsibility of the original content creator. Many companies and individuals have provided methods by which observers can provide tips about suspected infringement.
