Thats his real life name.  I have 5.  They seem to arrive in pairs.

I have NO pets in SL. 

That is the best name I have EVER heard for a kitty!

Now I'm peeved that I don't have cats. Not that I could ever come up with a name that epic.

One of my pet peeves is ANIMATED AVATARS within forums, or animated gifs or anything that moves or distracts on a static page that I'm trying to read. You know who you are 😐

However, uBlock Origin always comes to the rescue.

Right-click the moving image - Block element - Create

Never to be seen again. Job done 🙂

[Scylla Rhiadra]

Wow. SL's furry community -- the ones active on Twitter, anyway, are not happy with LL's new association with, or at least apparent endorsement of, a particular company that produces furry art.

LL really really needs to get better at consulting with residents about this kind of thing.

Be careful going down that rabbit hole. 👀

Though I admit, now you have me curious enough to peek.

Edit: Reading the article now, and seeing how avatar customization difficulty is my biggest SL-related peeve and has been since Day 1, I'm not entirely sure why there's so much emphasis in here about how easy it all is. Man, I wish! 😳

Edit edit: Just caught up on everything. Oof. Yikes.

OK a snip but any combo of two of those three is a deep peeve =^^=

But a real one - I have forgotten how to terraform in a tight space. Was a lot easier with a whole sim mutter

Thank you for qualifying it, that's important.

Hilariously however (to me at least), while the SL Furry community may get a lot of judgement already as being "different", for anyone to assume a majority of SL Furries are on Twitter is absolutely beyond the pale! What kind of "nutjobs" would use Twitter?

Oops, Peeve: Generalizashuns!

 

<== Is proud of joke!

If you're on the Twitters, Scylla's referring to a tweet made by the official SL account that links out to an article.

Waste of time for those who aren't on Twitter since you have to be logged in to read anything. Thanks twerp to Musk.

I don't use Twitter, but I may have read the article through a SL post on Facebook.

( I can't wait to see the cage match between Musk and Zuckerburg, btw.)

You aren't missing much. It's mostly of interest if you're involved in the furry art community. I'm guessing Scylla was just peeved about the mistake made that was entirely preventable (linking out to a site known for art commission shenanigans). OR...she's a secret furry... 👀😂

We turn to Scylla for comment...

 

On topic, PEEEEVE: Didn't Google Images used to have selectable jpeg and gif sizes? I could've sworn it used to have gif sizes. Gifs don't need to be so big. Grrr.

[Love Zhaoying]

If it's an official SL post, it's probably on all social media platforms, so I could look on Facebook (mentioned above), mastodon, threads, etc. and don't need to lower myself to Twitter standards.

[Ayashe Ninetails]

Back with another peeve since I'm in the middle of building a photo set.

Drawn on shadows. Omg...

Yeah, pretty much. I was actually trying to keep out of the camera eye even as I wrote it. 😮

I know very little about the issues, beyond having read the article, the Twitter responses to it, and another article about the company in question, so I was trying to be deliberately cautious about how I framed this. The article, which the official SL twitter account tweeted out (and which includes a sort of interview with a Linden), has been criticized for being "tone deaf," for getting information wrong, and for endorsing a company that apparently has garnered a rather . . . problematic reputation for itself in the furry community.

My main point, as Ayashe says, is that this kind of kerfuffle, minor as it may be and regardless of the veracity of the allegations, is entirely avoidable through the simple expedient of consulting a little more closely with the community. What was, I think, intended to be a supportive and positive thing has seemingly become anything but.

I will now once again take refuge behind my parapet, without making further comment. 😏

Took me 3 seconds to get rid of them all but continue to waste your time being immature. I guess people need something to do since no one on the forum actually ever goes in-world.
