    Not if we ask - do poseballs need modesty layers?

    I admit, I had to Google. My familiarity with Japanese rock ended with Malice Mizer soooo long ago. I'm still quite fond of visual kei fashion, though. You nailed the look! I can totally see it.

    I'm not going there at allllll. Not touching it. Newp newp! Ya can't make me. I will clarify, though. I don't see a whole lot wrong with the general "modesty" approach for very obvious human child avatars. Most games have been doing that for absolute ages - even for adults (which I don't always agree with when the game's rating and content are suitable and appropriate for an older adult audience, but whatever). I'm not going to complain about something like that. Better battles to fight, IMO.

    There you go - post a Dinkie in the photo thread and let's find out! I'm pretty sure most consider them safe, though.

    I have no words about the pink vs. blue argument. Bras on infants and toddlers are very bad and I hope creators are able to work with LL on a reasonable solution to that. Enforcing gender roles and policing undergarments can be terribly damaging. I don't have the answers for this as it relates to the new policies and it's above my pay grade to brainstorm them, but these decisions feel rushed, IMO. I totally get the need for the overall changes, of course. No criticism from me on that part.

    I hear you. I'm mostly the type of person who just blindly bounces from store to store (especially during weekend sales - clicking links from Seraphim) and very occasionally notices I may be standing on A-rated land. For anyone playing an under 18, or something really difficult to determine age with, that's something additional to think about now. 😩

    Oh I used to buy her houses and room sets just for individual pieces and clutter, too! The outdoor sets are really, really pretty, as well. I'm trying to remember off the top of my head how good her drinking animations are. I used to take them out when decorating with the food/drinks because her stuff is very script-heavy. Her food looks GOOOOOOOD, though, and the rum, whisky, wine glasses, etc. look fantastic. I love making cute little bar carts and displays with them.

    Oh the drinking animations need WORK, lol.

    Quick off-topic - depending on the brand, you might be able to get a kit to convert that dog to something else. I'm using the Cerberus Canis on my fox avatar and there are kangaroo skins for the HP Deer head, just as an example. If you ever wanna toss the head over in a thread in Your Avatar, maybe we could find some cute kits for it (wow that sounds funny out of context). I'll be honest - if I had an anime avatar (which weirdly I do not ... yet?), I wouldn't take them to adult land after these new changes, just as a precaution. I think relying on both random people and LL to judge their age in the user's favor is bad ideas. I'd just feel more comfortable on G and M land, personally, where it's less likely to be an issue. Edit: Looks up. Hah! You look like your forum avatar. Very cute look! The eye makeup brings back memories of having black eyeshadow damn near baked into my skin after a long night out and having to spend way too much damn time scrubbing it off my eyelids, lol.

    LOL. I have been peeving and whining and complaining so hard about AI art and how it's infested just about everything. I love using fantasy art as references when making my SL avatars, and I cannot tell you how much AI garbage there is in that arena. It's almost impossible to find real drawings, sketches, and traditional and digital paintings. Omggggggg, if I see another cat in a wizard's robe... Funny thing is I've been complaining to my brother about this very same thing because he's HUGE into AI-assisted design these days, and he eventually sent me some of what he's been creating over the last year to show me what's actually really possible with this stuff. Ya know, beyond all the stupid cat pirates. He's been using Midjourney to create things like textiles, fabrics, yarns, beading and dainty pearls, ceramics, wires. Fabric pouches decorated with beads filled with more beads and super fine yarns and threads - like something you'd pick up at an estate sale from an eccentric grandmother. Yarn skeins. Beaded African masks. Death masks. Afrofuturistic face and hair adornments. Long strings of twisted wires. Braided threads. Glazed ceramic and porcelain sculptures. Really wild stuff and it all looks like regular photography. Had he not told me it was AI, I'd think he was spending too much of his time at craft fairs! And I said to him dude...why haven't I ever seen stuff like this before???? WHY IS IT ALWAYS CATS IN ROBES? 😂 I've since determined he's the only one I'll allow to play with AI. Everyone else must quit and take their crappy pseudo-fantasy art with them, lol.

    Oh gawd, please don't get me started on gendered stands and sits. LMAO. I use the same AO for my male and female avatars (the AO animations do lean pretty active and feminine), but I found a set of male AO stands that were little more than compulsive flexing and I was SO tempted to add some in. I was hunched over wheeze-laughing with tears in my eyes on the pose stand in the store. 😂 And I agree with the other advice given - BOM layers and PG sits are a good solution. I prefer to just go AFK in my own private parcel, though - with the security on.

    Go peek at Edgeworth if you think that's mixed up. His 24 version has much lighter gray hair than the 35. Guess he's using Just for Men hair dye these days. 😂

    Noses are very tricky for me as in some cases, they're just a lil cute > or < or ' lol.
  14. Ayashe Ninetails
    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.
  25. 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.
