I dont see how saying 7ft Kulpa Karen is a fraudulent claim that's just plain dumb.

The system avatar cannot be mistaken for a "child avatar", if I understand correctly.

How do you think child avatars happened before we had mesh ?

This is what my avatar looks like

Depending on your avatar's height, that looks like 14 to me. So, you like to RP being a naughty teen in Adult sims? If I saw that, I would AR you, under the new TOS rules.

I see this thread as a horrible idea but good luck.

Because people that see an avatar they think is a child in the wrong place are going to think...."hmm, let me go study body shapes and proportions before I submit an AR. I might as well just look up Kawaii and Anime while I'm at it"

Unlikely to happen.

Okay... then their opinion of what is or what is not a child-like avatar should be discarded.

You can do that all you want, I don't think I'm a teen at all.

I would agree with there because it would cause confusion.

Is it really worth arguing about? It just takes one person to mistake you for an AV under 18 and you can get reported.

People also forget that on another LL-styled-platform they were even more strict. Even adult avatars had to have modesty clothing too.

And how did that platform fare?

[Coffee Pancake]

Thread for posting pictures of avatars so the peanut gallery can judge your age .. on a platform famous for banning all your accounts based on pictures of avatars that might look an age.

True.

Or maybe one should question whether one's own view might be skewed if too many others see it different.

I think if anyone wants to post some more pictures of avatars to discuss how old they look, it would be best so to do in a thread dedicated to that topic, possibly in the Your Avatar forum.  

If someone would like to start that thread, I'll port the last few pictures over, but please don't post any more of them in this thread.

There is already such thread in the Your Avatar section of the forum.

If anything, people are confused, or forget what children actually look like.

You must have missed the post where I mentioned my stepdaughter.  In middle school, ages 11-14, she had DDD breasts.  She was 5'6" tall with a child-like face.  Children (anyone under 18) come in all shapes and sizes just as adults to.

I agree with this. That's why an AR is made and LL will make the determination. It's not up to us to decide if it's against the TOS or not. That the point of AR's.

That's why I used the word OBJECTIVE. We have years of research and thousands of art school and courses that teach people what proportions and traits for different ages.. Really you talking like this now?

It says my avatar is 21. Do I look like a 21 year old? I personally think that I look older than 21

I don't think you look anywhere near 21. Maybe 16 tops.

Nice, I'm into art as well. I draw, paint, sketch, do digital art and I am into cartooning and animation.

Some people believe SL is a matter of life and death, I am very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.

Well yeah, of course.  If too many others told me I actually do look 14 then I'd reassess my look and my view if I wanted to enter adult place.
