I don't really understand your correlation to having sex and being discriminated against for being a woman. As Nikolai stated, there are a lot of of over-sexualized articles of clothing on this game but what was not mentioned is that a lot if the content creators for these items are women. SL has somewhat become a platform for people to explore their sexuality. Of course there are over sexualized items in SL. On any given day the most popular sims in SL are sex related. I myself have never experienced sexism on SL. I have been on this game (I know people hate calling it that but that's what it is to me) for 7+ years and have never once felt discriminated against for being a female. If anything women receive more from this platform than men as there is more content put out for women. The only place I have ever heard of as being sexist is a club called Misogyny but that is specifically made for that very purpose.

UPDATE: The crashing issue was on my side. My graphics card needed drivers updated. Since I have updated, i have been TPing to her land just fine. As for TPing from my land, this has also been resolved with the SIM being reset. Thank you all who responded.

I keep my ACI at around 200K or lower and also consistently use the "See friends only option" as I attend a lot of shopping events. As far as scripting goes, I try to stay on top of my scripts with a script counter I have and I am not usually using very many. I have also tried logging into an empty sim (Aich) and cleared all cache in case that could be confusing my system in anyway. Like i've stated, connection would seem like the problem to me if it was happening in other areas as well. My friends and I explore quite a bit by map hopping and the only place I have had this issue is on my parcel. It would seem more likely that it is something other than connection at this point as its isolated to one sim not many.

I do not have access to my computer right now because I am at work but I have a Nvidia GTX 970 graphics card, an AMD 8 core fx pro black edition, 16GB of memory. Which is more than enough to handle SL. Because I know SL to be a computer eater, I leave my settings at Mid-High. I use Firestorm but also tried the official SL viewer and I'm having the same issues.

Again, my connection is not the issue I assure you. SL is not the only game I play and I am not the only gamer in my house so 50mbps works just fine for me. My PC is wired directly to my gateway. It is odd to me that I only have this problem TPing from one SIM only. This is why it does not seem like a connection problem. I would assume that it would effect more than one place that I am trying to TP from if it were a connection issue. However, as stated, this is isolated to my parcel only.

Its only happening from the sim I rent a parcel on. I have not been able to TP to an empty sim (I use Aich) and my connection is at a constant 50mbps. I have considered connection being an issue but i can TP just fine everywhere else.

I'm not sure if i'm posting this in the right place and I feel it could possibly be my hardware but here goes: I have been trying to TP to my friend's land to help her with setting up a house. Upon arriving there, I am able to rezz momentarily but soon after I crash. I do not have this issue on any other land and she is running just fine there. Second issue, when i try to TP from my own land to any other sim, I get stuck in the tp and have to relog. Any idea of settings, graphics card issues, or server problems that could be causing this? Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

For maximum avatar viewing i use *Canimod

Free Community Sandbox. Search that inworld. Usually there are no griefers there although I go the the adult one. IDK about their general and moderate sandboxes.

I had to laugh because Chrome just translated the title in English to "Frying Pan". Edit:: Here is the poem: The most beautiful eyes can be green, blue or black especially can be dark or light Whoever knows how to use always know love who knows how to look, counsel knows who knows understand, you know clarify A world without eyes is an empty world in which the truth is not found The true eyes, are in the soul those who little use those who are ignored will always see the truth, life

I constantly consider Premium for the groups alone! I'm always having to delete free groups. My inner dialog goes something like this: "So I paid for this group but have they put out a gift for awhile? Hmm not really... but what if they do? Ok so keep that one. Oh a free group, I can delete that and just rejoin later or something... but what if i miss something...." Its the only trouble my sl has.

I think its safe to say that there are still quite a bit of non mesh users. Personally, I could never go back to the system avi's. They're too rough in my opinion. Mesh bodies are smooth and a lot of creators make things for the maitreya, so I chose well. With bento heads being made, I feel like customization and individuality of returned to SL. Before all mesh heads kinda looked the same to me. As far as clothing goes, I enjoy the more realistic looking clothes that don't look like body paint. Again, this is just my opinion. I think its to each their own though. Non mesh will never be extinct as long as there are content creators in SL. Maybe endangered, but not extinct.

Thank you, the skin is by Evermore and the head is the Catwa Catya Bento head. The shape is my own design :3

I have never been so impressed with an answer as I was with your Scylla. That was perfect!

This is my latest look. Its forever changing but this is the most recent.

Because of the pleasant and understanding way that you approached your research, I took your survey. Thank you for being a reasonable person!

Well best of luck to you, as you can see from the other replies you have received, we do not like being put under a microscope without getting anything in return. We do not like to talk to people who ask the same things as others have without making it worth our while.

I'm not sure how you figure that your results won't be reliable by offering payment but unfortunately, you won't be able to find many willing participants otherwise. Most experienced and seasoned residents are tired of the same students or researchers asking the same questions. What would we get out of the interview besides our psyche being dissected by yet another interviewer who has little to no grasp of an online community? I have seen few to none who have successfully received assistance without compensating for time and information from residents. This is the only sure fire way to have people inform you (nicely) about SL. P.S: L$1000 is approximately US$5.00 may be worth it to spend a bit to get some info.

To be fair Nickylion, you are not the first to request for users' to be studied. Think about it this way, when you are a student trying to do "research" on an online community, people tend to feel like test subjects being looked at through a glass. Like monkeys in a zoo. If you want willing participants, maybe offer some sort of payment in exchange for an interview. "Residents" as they are called respond well to compensation. Good luck and enjoy your stay on SL!

Emmy there are plenty of people who are interested in just changing their avatar and not chatting too too much. I know several people that are perfectly fine having a small circle of friends and just going shopping or standing around with said friends. If you ever need anything, please feel free to message me in world :3

Personally for my more oriental looking avatars, I go for the following stores: s0ng tsg (the sugar garden) NiNi Those seem to work the best. They have really nice dark brown colors and even some black. They work really well with oriental avi's.

I think that with less residents logged in at any time and with the game being highly occupied by older users and new users interested in adult entertainment, it leaves us somewhat cynical. I tend to keep to myself and my small group of friends, simply because I don't want to participate in adult activities or the club scenes. SL certainly isn't what it used to be in terms of population either so the pool of people to choose to associate with is less than say 6-7 years ago. Theres definitely been a decline in the number of people logged on at any certain time. Currently (looking right now) there are only 42,000 people logged in. This is including bots as well. It may be worth a shot going to clubs or places that pique your interest. I have found quiet a few friends at RP sims, shopping events, and club events that I really enjoy the music. Also, if you ever want to chat, feel free to message me!

If you want an anime styled head Utilizator makes two. The M3 head and the Venus head. Personally, I like the look of the Venus head a bit more. Enfer Sombre makes some great skins for them as well. If you want a more realistic looking head that's still acceptable in an anime envoirnment, you can try any of the tsg. (The Sugar Garden) heads. They're still anime-esque but also look more realistic. I hope this helps!

Try Ayashi: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/stores/68045 If its not there, the only other place I would say would be Zero Style but they no longer have a store. On the MP or Inworld.
