There is absolutely nothing wrong with using them if all you want is a simple body and simple outfits and don't plan on spending a lot of money on useless outfits and trivial accessories that you probably wont wear all that often.

To many people put too much emphasis on mesh or bom or having fully decked out bodies and heads and outfits and just waste a lot of money by doing so to feed their vanity and pride ego and insecurity issues about how they look or how others will see them or think about them.

Using one can be cheap an a simple easy upgrade from the standard chosen bodies at account creation. They are just as fine to use and wear for any activity then any other body.

You can drive or fly or sail or walk or run in them just as easy as any other body. You don't have to care or worry what others think if you look fashionable or cool or hip or fit in the crowd. Its about you being you and doing what you like and want, not what some fashionista says you need to do to fit in or be accepted. Their opinion should not really matter. Its your secondlife, your account, you choice. Not anyone elses.

👏 Well said - there's a tad too much judgement around about how one's avatar should look. Choice of appearance has nothing to do with money or fashion sense in real life and everything to do with the reason for being in SL, which for many of us is not to play dress-ups!

I balanced it with a like. ☕

Nice ❤️ I think if I ever morphed into anything other than a dark elf I might invest in a mesh body, but on balance I'm more likely to leave that to an alt to experiment with 😆

I gave a laugh reaction, but it was meant as a chuckle for the sentiment of your statements, not a laugh "at you".  Sometimes people take that reaction wrong, so I figured I'd explain.

Though I now use a mesh body, I still love my system head.

Haha no worries, I guessed that was what you meant! 😁❤️

Then:

I love my system avatar

Now:

I love my system avatar

[Lolitas. A sneaky attempt to by-pass age-play ban?]

What, you're not familiar with the Japanese Lolita fashion style and its variations, as worn by countless thousands of legal adults in major cities everywhere??? The young women I know who've adopted that style would crack up at the idea they're attempting to imitate children. 

People need to think beyond what they see - for instance, I'm clearly very short, but a quick glimpse at my profile reveals that I'm an Ancient Dark Elf with a literary bent. (I'm also pretty long in the tooth in FL, but that's incidental.)

Besides, there's nothing new about this kind of fashion - the first babydoll nightwear came into being in the 1930s, for goodness' sake.
