I'm not from Europe so why would I read up on European law? don't dehumanize real actual children by comparing them to child avatars. Just stop, don't turn actual kids into jokes, into cartoons, fictional beings like that.

Curves doesn't automatically mean post pubescent.

I am an anime artist, I know they look unrealistic, I am a cartoonist. You're thinking I'm fighting against you, or attacking anime culture or saying they are child. I am not saying they are or not. I am simply stating they're not real.

Eh. I doubt it. But certainly any avi that looks like a child will be. People have always been able to ban anyone from theireir adult land if they feel the avi looks too young.

Peace train

I mean, logically, anything can "come off" if you hit "wear" by mistake—including the new approved modest skin. (Unless you're suggesting that everyone who ever uses a child avatar delete all skins that don't have the modesty feature. I mean, I guess that would work, but that's pretty extreme.) It's true that alpha cuts (as opposed to alpha masks) are fraught with peril. I hate them and try to avoid them as much as possible. They're too primitive for purpose. I've taken to rely on complete outfits for pretty much any change I make in public, but I'm not necessarily recommending that, given what it's done to my Inventory count. (Also, please understand that none of this actually affects me. I never use a child avatar. It's just that the skin thing seems so deeply illogical I can't seem to escape it.)

And roses don't often restore PEACE

It's not body shaming. You are using curves to imply that your avatar is age appropriate. All I'm saying, and I have not seen your avatar in person so this is not a judgement on your avatar, but to use the presence of curves in a female body to prove age is just erroneous. Curves in a female body simply indicates that the female has entered puberty or is post pubescent.

Interesting thoughts, those with child avatars who insist on not following the rules, may endanger everyone else's ability to be nude at all. (Not what you meant, I'm sure but I took it and ran.)

In case you do not know, in almost every european country sharing and publishing sexualised display of children, real children or not real children (avatars and graphics, AI generated), is a crime. You may read the according laws. Or use up Google.

I wear underwear, even covering over my nipples in case some sick f*...er...person with a mental illness derendered my clothing I don't mind doing it, heck, I am happy to do it. What I don't like is having some (as of yet) undefined modesty covering that could ruin my outfits. Seriously, girl next door skin, shudder. I don't want to find a skin, with modesty covering that's not too obtrusive and have a mesh body update that covers me shoulders to thighs I can't take off, you know? I'm perfectly fine protecting myself, perfectly find complying with the ToS, I just rather it be on a skin level not a mesh level so ruin my look. I am not a criminal, I don't want to be treated like one.

When I said that "they can be an exaggeration all it wants" I was talking to the person who said that, not to you. I also, was not arguing for or against child avatars or saying they don't have to follow anything, I'm pointing out they are not human, just representations of humans as a cartoon. It does exaggerate real life, but they are a cartoon at the end of the day.

Just letting you know, I've no idea what it looks like in light mode, but in dark mode it's similar to pasting text from a website.

again one of those well intentioned things that doesn't always work out properly. I do weddings, and alot of wedding are on private sim, often with a A rating, and alot of wedding have children - flower girls and ring bears, along with sometimes just children of the guests

Therein lies the problem. Plenty are taking it as a "who cares, I'll just report anyone who looks younger than me" opportunity as if they've been handed some kind of superpower. In a sense they're right.

And as someone pointed out, most other platforms like roblox, imvu etc don't even allow nudity. SL is the last place you can go to see nude child avatars with full genitalia. And that's probably why there is panic, because there no where else to go to see that now.

Please do not equate child avatars to actual children, child avatars are not real, children are real. Just call them child avatars.

My experience is that while rezzing in before completely rezzed, I've often seen parts of the mesh body that were made invisible once the alpha actually rezzed. It's the main reason why I wear BoM undies and don't just rely on an alpha for modesty. When I said the avatars didn't look human, I meant they didn't LOOK human. They look like cartoons who share some human characteristics. I am not confusing the fact that avatars are NEVER really human. To further explain, to me most avatars using Lelutka heads LOOK human, but I've seen some that distort the facial proportions so much that they move past looking human to looking more alien. All that said, whether an avatar looks human or not if they present as a child then I believe the rules need to apply to them as well, human or not. I have vision issues and honestly the dark theme makes it so much worse for me. So while I get that for some dark works better .. I HATE it!

Why?

If that was the Canadian man, that is Canadian laws, not U.S. laws, however anime is not real, it shouldn't be equated to human being at all, they're fictional characters. He cannot touch them, cannot feel them, cannot hurt those anime cartoons so he shouldn't have been arrested and put in jail but we have to refrain from speaking of such things here. But no art, fictional creation should be considered an actual human.

you should be reported for a gratuitous attack on another forumite

That doesn't happen anymore for sure. As niche as that sounds, it's a situation that I run into a lot on a regular basis and would've experienced it. 😋

Judged by your comments you enjoy last century sexualised display of children a lot. Oe why do you defend it?

why would anyone waste time recording sl porn when with AI you could produce far more graphic and realistic porn featuring any age you wanted?
