    Anime's tricky because you've got to look beyond the face for context, in many cases, just given how they're drawn. There are some instances, though, where very subtle changes are made to shading, facial expression, face shape, or hair color that can help age them. SL's a bit different as I'm not sure if anyone uses tricks like that in the form of BOM highlight/shadow and expressions with their anime heads to do it, but if not, then you go by the rest of the avatar (style of dress is a big clue, and AO/poses can help). Whipping out good ole Phoenix as an example.

    Reading through some of their stuff...it might be worse in some respects. 👀

    Hmm. Roblox is filled with scandal, positive and negative social activism, extremism, and drama. Mojang/Minecraft teamed up with WWF (World Wildlife Fund) to bring awareness to panda conservation. Minecraft content creators are also some of the most dramatic people on social media with a boatload of sordid controversies. Blizzard/World of Warcraft held in-game charity events to support humanitarian aid in Ukraine and Doctors Without Borders. It's also filled with VERY adult roleplay and there are plenty of non-adult guilds that support all identities and orientations - same as Guild Wars 2 and other MMOs. On and on and on. If anyone thinks MMOs and virtual worlds and their users don't dabble in political/social issues or have their own share of controversies and mature/adult content, they're not paying much attention. Second Life isn't much different than the rest.

    Define use... 👀 If you mean do I click on all my food/drink givers and let my avie eat everything in sight or grab myself a cup of coffee or glass of wine while standing around fiddling with my inventory...yis, yis I do sometimes!

    Hey Devilgrey! Glad you posted in here because I wanted to comment on your avatar. I adore it and it's so rare (for me) to see male anime avies in SL. You did a great job with him. I have been slacking SO HARD and didn't rate any other photos yet, but I did instinctively rate that one as 18+ when I saw him. I'm not exactly an anime or manga fan at all, but I'm familiar with it enough through gaming to recognize the look. To me, your avatar looks a teensy bit more mature than some of the Danganronpa 1,2,3, and anime cast (which nobody agrees 100% on, but considering it takes place in a high school with some lost time here and there, fans seem to settle on them being in the 17-20ish range). Given that, I landed on 18 on the lower end, with mayyyybe 20-21 on the higher. Hope that helps! You absolutely could, but don't be surprised if some struggle aging you. We know anime is difficult already, but furries are kind of impossible to tell when you're looking at late teen vs. adult - and I say that as someone who wears them. All you'd really be able to change is hairstyle, dress, accessories, and body size/shape - and when you're a mouse or a duck, how would one know where we fall exactly? I'm assuming in that case, LL would only be interested in obvious "child" furries and not people playing 17 year old kangaroos, but who knows, lol.

    That's a million times bigger than Aesthetic. It looks either like a Dev or a Sking. I'm not sure if Sking still exists (there's a paid demo of the male body on the MP, but no full version). It also looks a lot bigger than the demo for Sking's DABULL. Try this one: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/dev-John-FullFlexMuscleBodyx1ver37/9165690

    That's absolutely incredible, LOL. Scared me senseless the first time I saw it. Like WAT. 🤣

    Oh shoot, I forgot about height deformers...need... Yeah no, I'm not at all concerned with my own height in terms of adult content or anything. It's just a stylistic choice for certain avatars I run. It's just that out in the wild, I see mostly shorter women and some of the guys are up there, but it doesn't seem overly noticeable. The ONLY person I've seen that I'd classify as a "giant" is a woman who showed up to last year's Fantasy Faire wearing one of those humongous giant avatars. Like, we'd be as tall as her ankle kind of humongous. Seriously cool avatar, but damn, lol.

    Meeeeeeee. I'm probably not who they're talking about, though. As a very tall person (or thing, or whatever), my observation has been that many people are very short. Primarily the avatars in Reborn or Kupra. I tower waaaaay above some of those. Legacy and Kario dudes are pretty tall, though.
  12. Ayashe Ninetails
    In my own personal opinion (take it with a grain of salt since I'm not a family RPer or anything), I do think that'd actually be better. A perma-onesie or tank top seems totally fine to me.
  13. Ayashe Ninetails
    I'm not so sure. In the meeting, they said they're "in the process now of evaluating several different products and systems to help with proactive moderation."
  14. Ayashe Ninetails
    I was actually wondering what exactly that meant, myself.
  15. Ayashe Ninetails
    I know we're kind of getting into the weeds here about how on Earth non-human avatars will comply with the new rules, but I have to say this made me LOL so hard. If someone doesn't make a speedo paint job for an aircraft, I'm going to lose my faith in SL shenanigans.

    Welcome! Oh I was sooo thrilled when I learned how to make one with mesh. I used to rock full complete pre-mesh furry avatars wayyyy back in the day, and it wasn't until I was in Apricot Paws looking at clothing and saw a furry in the ad that was SO CUTE that I decided to try making an up-to-date one built around mesh. I had a friend walk me through the process. Takes a bit of practice, but once you get it down, you can make some seriously adorable stuff (and shop ANYWHERE! I'm based on Maitreya). Yep, but those rely on clothing makers to create for their specific mesh, so options are very limited. Like the Snokra. Very cute and I'd wear it in a heartbeat, but it'd be a pain to dress. Any younger furries/cubs using complete avatars are going to have a very bad time complying with the new TOS.
  17. Ayashe Ninetails
    Yep - just a quick overview into how a furry is made: You buy the animal head and it comes with a male and female neck fit and you can slap it on any human body. Then you grab a skin/mod kit that will typically include your BOM skin and parts (ears, tail, etc.). This is how you can turn a base dog head into a wolf or a fox - the mod kit is your overall style and coloring/markings for the head and body. You can further customize with feet/hands made to fit your specific body. You may have to do some manual texturing here and there, unless your separate parts are BOM. Kits sometimes include a note like "compatible with Anima Travelers Skitters" or something to let you know it'll include the textures you need for those parts so you can match your addon feet to the rest of your body. Then you go shopping in any store that supports whatever human body you're built on. For younger/child furries, I don't know what the process is to make one (what bodies?) and how that will work out when it comes to requiring skins with the modesty layers. That's a whole other thing. Oh, that's fantastically creepy and perfectly safe (except for those with arachnophobia, lol)! I like it.
  18. Ayashe Ninetails
    I haven't seen too many lions in general, so I can't really comment on the style. I imagine doing it properly with a full mane might interfere with some clothing designs, though. Maybe. I am really, really seriously considering that super cute monkey kit, though. I already have the head it's made for, AHHHH! Someone asked earlier if it was for child avatars or adults? It's sold for adult bodies, but almost any human body can be made into a teen with shaping tweaks.
  19. Ayashe Ninetails
    That's just clothing for Maitreya, Reborn, Jake, Kario, CZ Slim, Anatomy, Legacy M/F, etc. Most current furries use human bodies and shop in like...Addams.
  20. Ayashe Ninetails
    To people who are familiar with furries/furry culture, of course.
  21. Ayashe Ninetails
    LMAO. That's so true! 😂 Thankfully, some outfits come with their own built-in modesty bra! This is actually the main reason why I've been paying attention to this whole thing. The moderate/adult land component makes it tricky since older teens are included in the ban and some stores I shop at are located in Adult, probably. Yes, everything I create is very adult, but how does anyone else know that when I'm almost never running around as a human? Are we seriously asking people (and Governance) to judge the age of non-human fantasy and furry avatars now? Like, how old is this? This? No, they don't need layers, and I've never been banned from anywhere for rocking looks like that ever, but we clearly see in the photo thread that people can't tell when humans are teens or adult. Good luck with the furries who may get up to more than just standing around looking glamorous and shopping in adult regions, lol.
  22. Ayashe Ninetails
    The example given in the modesty layer thread was prom dresses and swimwear with back laces or cutouts. Edit: Oops, and tops.
  23. Ayashe Ninetails
    I can't possibly imagine feral avatars would be included in this. I'd laugh myself into orbit. Anyone who puts their wolf into a speedo is definitely going the malicious compliance route. Also, I just peeked on the MP. There's a metric ton of stuff that technically could be affected in the furry realm (just looking at things that could be sized into teen). Like this kit (which, omg I think I kind of need this in my life, this is cute as hell, whaaaaat):
  24. Ayashe Ninetails
    Wait, I thought the feral thing was a joke. They aren't seriously included, right?
  25. Ayashe Ninetails
    As to the rest of my thoughts (bras on infants, really?), I'm not overly optimistic. This is going to break a ton of content. I'm happy about the modesty panels in general for child and teen human avatars, but it's poorly implemented IMO. Also, if we're going to be putting merchildren (ok, with that, you could at least make it make sense - see the animated The Little Mermaid 2), fae, elves, furries, and whatever else in the "needs modesty" category, now you're going to need creators who possibly don't even exist in-world anymore to update years old content. You'll need fantasy skins with modesty layers. You'll need furry skins with modesty layers (that's...). Lil werewolf cub running around in a bra over its fur. Oof. I just can't take it seriously. Also, I don't think the non-binary avatar questions got answered at all. That's not good. Bleh. Lol, I am not going to judge you or anyone else for the crazy stuff many of us got up to in the Wild West days, that's for sure. I agree with you about a new thread probably not being worth it, too. It'd just make me nostalgic anyway! 😄
