Hmm.. UNLESS you are a female that creates a male avatar SOLELY for the purpose of gaining real life money or lindens from unsuspecting people via second life.
For this reason, I disagree with second life allowing voice changers, I think there should be some way to discriminate should you want to, between a RL man or woman... at least the option would be nice. I was just catfished for 3 years by a 'man' in sl that turned out to be a woman with a voice changer program. She used fake real life pictures of men to make people believe her lies, which I think should be against the TOS. I thought this woman was an out of work man, living in brazil.. and I was asked to pay for everything, including her premium account payments and to send money via paypal because coronavirus stimulus cheques didn't come in and "he" had no food money.
I mean, there should be a point of perspective here.. yes.. its your fantasy.. and yes.. it was my naivety to believe a person online but really second life (with voice changers and no consequence for using fake real life photos) really doesn't give the possibility of a point of reference for anyone seeking honesty and friendship. .. and "your fantasy" shouldnt be allowed by LL to harm others financially.
I'm not some desperate housewife looking for a relationship online either, I am married in RL but my husband is terminally ill... so I come online to 'visit' friends etc but I am a compassionate person.
Second life is supposed to be fun for everyone - not a hunting ground for tricksters and scam artists. When people arent held accountable for these kinds of catfishing actions, why not become scamming thieves if you are from a poor country?
I think linden labs needs to revamp some of it's TOS criteria when it comes to this sort of thing, because now I really don't even feel like making friends in SL.. because who can you trust?
The answer for me, now, is nobody...so whats the point?
