    Peeve: me in January :/

    Starting on Sunday, it’s the year of the Rabbit! We are in the last few days of the year of the Tiger – it's been a time of fighting, tension and war 🥺 But the year of the Rabbit means recovery and calm, and also financial prosperity 🤑 

    Most wrong prediction ever -_- 

    Apparently in Native American mythology, the rabbit is a trickster? That's how 2023 has felt to me...one cruel practical joke! 9_9 I know someone wrote about how they hated this year too on this thread (sorry, can't remember who)...it's still going on, even today...just a load of hassle!

    But if this year was good for you...ignore me, and well done :D

    Well then it's proven, the Rabbit is Loki. Lol

    No one has to watch what other people are doing, look away, or derender them. 

    I wasn't meaning that, but here is another example. There was this club I loved in SL for it's music and the people were friendly, I had this one person constantly making advances and I would say no. They would keep on trying, fine and all. I blocked them. This was an adult club, where that stuff happened. The point is, that even if I go there. I don't just say yes, once I enter the door. The whole if you go to an adult region or even club, doesn't take your right away to say no. That was my point.

    Your consent is implied if you choose to live on adult land.  Don't want to see it, don't rent there. It doesn't have to be that difficult.  If they did create an adult Belli why in the world would they need any mechanism for those to avoid it? 

    I would honestly have to disagree with you on that one. It's kinda like the whole X dilemma, where people don't put on filters and have NSFW content just flying out there. That being said, I don't think consent is implied at all. Some people live in these communities as there is more freedom than say a PG community when it comes to language and stuff. I used to live on one, then was banned for well stupid reasons. But I went there, as it allowed me more freedom in the way of what I RPed, not sexual. But it gave me more leeway to be more creative. I still didn't participate in the sexual activity or even watched it. I avoided it like the plague. So this is where I disagree, people come to adul regions for a whole slew of reason, not only for the sexual freedom. So in conclusion, I don't think consent is implied or basically you consent by just going there. I think people do still need to be considerate of others, even in adult regions.

    I don't think I'm "correcting" you in what I say below, because I don't think you require "correction." I'm just using your post as a sort of jumping-off point, so please don't be offended or assume I'm criticizing you!

    There is absolutely nothing shameful about sex -- in RL or in SL. It's a vital part of who we are.

    But it is a vital part of who we are: we are defined by so much else as well. If we met someone in RL who was almost solely preoccupied with sexuality, who defined themselves singularly by sexual desire and the pursuit of its fulfillment, we'd probably think (likely correctly) that that person suffered from some form of pathology.

    If we met someone in RL whose sense of others was constrained almost exclusively by their evaluation of their sexuality, or sexual desirability, we'd likely also have problems with that. "So and so has a great body!" as the sole determinant of a person's value and being? Yeah, no.

    Our sexuality is a vital component of the incredibly complex matrix of all the many things, nature and nurture, wilful and unwilling, that make us all individuals.

    And SL reflects that fact wonderfully: it's an incredibly diverse world that enables a nearly endless array of possible activities and identities.

    The problem with narrowing that openness, and defining SL exclusively, or even primarily, as a place for sex and hookups, is that it narrows us as well. If you are an active participant on a platform that is mostly about sex, then you have de facto defined, and limited, yourself as a sexual being, to the exclusion of the many other things that you are or can be.

    So, I have zero problems, personally, with throwing some light on sexuality in SL. The danger arises when or if that comes to be seen as the defining characteristic of the platform. As it is, SL already possesses something of a reputation in that regard.

    And that's why this needs to be done, if it is to be done, with care and thoughtfulness. Because changing the identity and nature of the platform also, perforce, changes the identity of everyone active on it.

    I actually agree with this, especially when a lot of people make sex and sexuality their sole personality.

    There's also always a lot of folks that want to remind us they are ashamed of a natural part of the human experience. Something that should be celebrated as a main driver in bringing us together gets called out as shameful. That is what I find disturbing. Not saying that's you - but it is in this thread as well as all other threads like it.

     

    No one finds it shameful at all, I think just some of us who are expressing disagreement are just saying why does it need to be at the forefront. I mean I don't care what people do behind closed doors and they are consenting adults, I just find it weird and kinda uncomfortable that it has to be public. And no I don't mean that it is happening everywhere, it's just that A people seem to think sex needs to be more public and B people are more open to talk about that life in great detail, without considering others. Like no Janet I didn't consent to read about your late night rendevous with Jared.

    Yes! I also find many of the ones that want SL to recognize the "adult" side of SL and not hide it are also the ones that insist that this is not a dating site.  I guess you should be only here for wild and crazy unfettered sex and the minute you put a label on it like "relationship"  or "love" you are accused of using SL as a dating site.

    If the shoe fits. Lol. But seriously, it does come off as that.

    I just want to know this, why is there this need or push to have sex and things associated with it out in public? I mean the fact that there is this need to present it and say it's for sex positivity. It really seems kinda illogical, and before someone goes oh you are clutching pearls. Even if sex is still in private and at venues that allow it or even at your home and people only really talk about it with close friends and their partners. That is not putting a stigma on it, at least to me I think. Which is why I have always wondered, why isn't user generate content enough in SL? Why does LL have to recognize this too?

    Maybe it's just me being extremely petty, but given the chosen name, I can't help but think this basically going to be a basic dipping the toe in venture rather than a full on Fetlife experience. I hope, lol. But yes - even now I see amusing reactions when people bring up SL in random gaming communities. I imagine this won't help!

    Why would you want it to be a whole Fetlife experience, there is more to adult stuff than BDSM Fetishes and Kinks. I think this is a step in the right direction, however I do think it was perfectly fine with just user-generated content.

    And like last year, the gift is NOT available at the main store, but only at the special regions. So all those folks waiting for an hour or more at the store had no advantage over any other person in getting the head quickly.

    And I love that they put a 10min restriction on the time you can be at the gift regions.

    I wish people would just get in get the head and get out.

    SL's trying to compensate with a new function, https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LlRezObjectWithParams

    This is great only for shooting games, but with one big assumption: the rezzing object is assumed to be owned by the shooter.

    This excludes all shooting vehicles from rezzers that are used by non-owners of these vehicles. I such a case, the projectiles rely on a fast on_rez time.

    You can use it for any projectile, heck you won't need to have particles for spells. You can create some cool magic systems with this system too.

    Second Life Group Chat to Discord Integration?

    There is nothing ”stupid” in sharing info with persons you trust in ”public” places (not so public, for SL chat, just like for a RL pub; their audience is however limited and known from the chatters at the moment they are chatting).

    Beside, you cannot use others' ”stupidity” as an excuse to violate a TOS (here, SL TOS).

    Okay, but if you want to talk to people in a public space and someone does something with it. Then you are responsible for that info getting out.

    I never said otherwise, but what I say is that if a place uses such a relaying tool, there must be an unmissable warning about it for everyone visiting that place that their chat will be relayed and recorded (one of the aspects of Discord I personally dislike) outside of SL.

    Not saying no one should use such tools, but just saying they must be used in accordance with SL TOS... And I do not see how anyone could disagree with this !

    'nuff said !

    Well you are assuming that all these tools are not in accordance with LLs SL TOS.
