Marigold Devin Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Linden Lab's involvement with this company goes way back to before all the nonsense with Little Big P and his followers, and I had absolutely no idea it was Russian. Is it Russian? Or is it multi-national??? Calling fact checkers with citations please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Catlyn Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Usually ordinary people cannot decide their fate when a despot takes the power in their country. To dismiss a creator just based on their nationality i find rather xenophobic. Keep in mind that most things (including viewers) are created by people just like you and i. Not major companies or conglomerates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brightstar7777 Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Please allow me to take a brief moment of your time. I would like to encourage everyone to check any derogatory and demeaning language against specific ethnicities at the door whenever they log on to the Second Life (and the Internet) no matter how fashionable or politically expedient it may feel in the heat of the moment to participate in such agendas. This is a global community, and global means everybody on Earth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Huntsman Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Um, I really don't get it, not all Russians agree or even consider Putin a good person. In fact, that is quite the opposite, even his own military is turning tail and running. His own military officials are getting sick and tired of his antics. What is up with this all people bad in one country, cause their government may be morally reprehensible? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember responding to a German person's question one time over on the German forum, after no one else had bothered to respond at all, and you shooting me down in flames. You are nothing but a trouble-causer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Kristin Linden Posted October 5, 2022 Administrators Share Posted October 5, 2022 Alrighty, since things have already gotten rather spicy right off the bat & delving into political discussions that are not appropriate for the Second Life forums, I'm going to go ahead and close this. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
