Starberry Passion

I've said many times to look on flickr. You will see the most popular styles. these styles that some people on the forum, which doesn't count for everyone on the grid, is the style that these minority of people dislike. lol This is why I said. "Continue to look the way you want, and represent adulthood how you want it. Don't allow a small group of people to influence your avatar and your looks." Just look on flickr alone, you will see how most people look and how a lot of those avatars are seen as adult. It's ridiculous.

what happened on Flickr?

You called me a lie a few pages back that this isn't happening but they're clearly feeling like people will be against her, even though several say she is fine. This is happening more and more for no reason.

The other problem is that there are a lot of people that don't see those "edge cases" as "edge cases" and half of the grid have this aesthetic where they want to be what they want to be and have their avatar fit them and not someone else, but someone is constantly telling them what to do, calling them "edge cases" due to a bias. If Anything, it is the community that continue to destroy itself, given too much power over to a few certain finger on the trigger happy people that will A.R. you, rather you are innocent or not. With over half of everyone having that flickr style/twitter model style, e-girl style. BBG is very popular, it is a large portion of second life itself. All of these groups can and will, in some way, be affected by overly harsh treatment of the community and it will drive out more people than people think. People will be even more divided or be like some of the creators that are on twitter and stop playing Second life other than taking photos or creating and then logging off. Second life have already been hostile and have be segregated, in several areas. It will be even harder for some people. if things continue down the way that it is going. I don't see it going well, if people just use fear to try to control other people constantly. I don't think that it would be a good idea for Linden Lab to police anything but I think there should be a more fair and just treatment and a level of respect given to everyone. There should be more room for understanding and a room for acceptance and give people a chance to breathe and grow into their world that they dive into. Everyone is so gung-ho in ARing everyone that it will be no more room, left, to AR anyone after that and it will kill Second Life, quicker than everyone thing. We, already, have had two forums where people posted their avatars and neither of them were actually helpful, it only opened it up for Critique and more fear from a community and then someone will say "No one hates anyone." but look at how threads like this and people, inworld, learning about the new T.o.S. are acting upon reading everything. Because someone will be an "edge case" to someone and all because of Child Avatars. This shouldn't even have been about adult avatars or adults presenting or youthful adults or short adults or tall adults, chubby adults but people are making it that way. That's a community issue. This has become a "How can I trust this community?" issue more than anything else and that is what needs to be settled and or rectified.

I just checked the page, the ***** Policy section is different than the Child Avatar Sections and is on the main second life wiki in its own page. It does need updating.

Second Life can still be a creative place if the community learned how to get along and stop trying to have power over others or try to get everyone to leave Second life.

That thread hardly could tell if someone was child or adult, unless the avatar was built a certain way and had massive boobs. It's, at this point, just a critic's thread for people to judge you on your looks. It helps no one.

You looked adult before but you should stop worrying about how a few people think you look and just look how you want to look. If you want to look older, just put make up on. More make-up you have on the older you look, 9 times out of ten, that's how you usually age up.

you look really close to this person, in my eyes

If someone see's this and says "That's a child" then they have a problem.

She looks like a mixture of a 20 year old Britney spears mixed with a Natalia Vodianova to me.

If my parents caught me wearing something like this in a public setting, that would be my behind. "Why you running around with a top with no bra on with unbuttoned pants for? Go and pick out a belt for me to beat yo behind with!"

The people who try to insult me, some of the rare few time, have been female avatars and they were either Bimbo Tgirls or Bimbo Older women. and that's rare, Everyone else didn't care, men still hit on me, women still hit on me. Sometimes I don't get anyone hitting on me but I get someone messaging me with an insult, another female avatar, telling me to eat a cheese burger. So it's not very many that actually look at colors specifically as "child."

I happen to be a submissive... didn't know people hated submissiveness that much...

huh, it's usually a small number of other female avatars that infantilize, especially if you're shorter or smaller in size. Most people enjoy Lunar, Crybunbun, CK, Insomnia Angel and stuff like that. If they didn't like these colors, they would've stopped using them. Even Muse use colors like this. I guarantee you several creators have palettes that are meant to be girly and adult. If those guys hate that you are being girly then tell them to block you because they're not worth your time.

No I happen to wear glasses and don't own a pair atm.

Colors don't mean anything, no set of colors are child colors. It can trigger memories of child hood, but that mindset comes because the colors are cute. If something looks cute, it offends them but even if the colors are pastel, they are still adult. How can you look at that robe, in a pastel color, and see if as child? That speaks more towards the beholder than the wearer. Also, not everyone wants to go around wearing all black or all white all the time, it's boring and some people like to have color in their world.

This is a Lunar robe, there is no way, if this was real life, i'd let any child of mine walk around with this.

Or look on Twitter or Instagram. lol

How? Lunar makes lingerie, tiny thongs, bikini with see through elements, comfy stripper clothing. body suits that barely cover your body short revealing skirts, tight outfits. So does Crybunbun, These are adult clothing.

The reason they look anime is because they kinda are. Everything 2d or 3D is animation. Anime is short for animation. No matter how you make your avatar, you're still under animation, just a different style of animation. Look at "Akita Battle Angel movie." that is labeled an anime. Final Fantasy series, this is an anime, because anime is short for animation.

No they don't, why would you put these types of outfits on a child avatar? Do you not see the sexuality in those outfits? People still wear Lunar and Crybunbun and others like them and no one has accused them of being a child avatar, why? because they are adult in nature.

I was talking about adult wear on an adult body with an adult collar Also, what is wrong with candy necklaces? I still enjoy those, those are not only cute but good.

I don't think outfits like Lunar, Crybunbun or something along those lines will be in danger of anything. How can you look at them and see a child avatar in them, or a child wearing such in general? That is what is strange, a person picturing a child in sexually suggestive baby girl clothing wearing a collar.

Those are usually dead. People thought being short/average height was against ToS for the longest time, some people still think this way.
