    I miss the Second Life of old

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    I guess that's the natural progression of this virtual world and its people - we've had our "childhood" of exploring, experimenting and goofing around, now we're in our late teens and obsessed with instagram, personal brands and image.  I'm not sure what responsible middle age is going to look like... I'm holding out for second childhood.

    Is It Possible To Block All the Members Of A Group At Once?

    I once got Firestorm solely for this feature. Or I think it was to ignore chat from non-friends who created "group chats" with hundreds of people as Spam.  Not groups I was a member of.

    I miss the group chat mute option (and the derender objects option, otherwise I quite like SL viewer). It's annoying to be in the middle of a chat or rp and suddenly get a pop up from group saying "ohhh I love the new hair." or "is there a staff online?" or "good morning lovelies!". I just have to tolerate it for groups I paid for, otherwise I ditch them 😝

    I had no idea when joining SL that it welcomed such people

    It doesn't. After nearly 15 years in SL, personally I have yet to come across any group of this sort (I also don't go looking for them). Nor have any of the people I've met and befriended in SL espoused such views. I don't deny you encountered this, but it certainly isn't a norm.

    As Polenth says, such things are against the TOS - report 'em.

    There’s a whole community of anime lovers that you are tarring with a very nasty brush here and that isn’t acceptable.

    That bugs me too. My avatar is named after an anime character, and the first community I hung around with in SL was a group of Japanese (and misc others) who liked swordfighting. We'd dress up as anime style schoolgirls/boys and have swordfighting tournaments, which was great fun, and never got "naughty". This was more than a decade ago, so perhaps things have changed in anime fandom online, and in SL especially - maybe younger folk know more about that.

    That's a beautiful avatar and photograph including the lighting on the face.  Definitely adult, almost looks 18 exact.  I didn't know these heads and hairs existed.  

    Interesting, I'd say it looks mid 20s. After all, most of the BTS boys are mid to late 20s and look younger than this. I call em boys cos I am about twice that, hehe.

    The vast majority of anime is probably hentai or loli - highly sexualized, and it's making a lot of money for SL in shapes, clothing, blah, blah, as is highly sexualized Kawaii (however one spells that).  The non-sexualized anime is probably a small group in comparison.  So, with the title of the thread, what do you think people are going to think?  

     

    this pretty much describes all of SL. There is a lot of smexy, but not all of us immerse ourselves only in that. As with everything here, you'll find what you go looking for.

    As for this, I'm not sure what this means exactly. What is an "anime avatar," except for a character inspired by a particular (or entirely made up) animated film, television series, or video game, and why does creating one in Second Life require using one specific brand of heads and/or bodies? I'm curious why you're implying it's completely locked in like that. What did people do before those existed?

    We adapted the system avatar, for the most part. I called my avatars anime-inspired, not because of notions of authenticity but because I didn't want to run afoul of copyright. It seems, in this thread, they are exclusively referring to certain brands of bodies/heads. In which case they shoulda said so from the start 😛

    second life photography discussion

    My flickr photos are like snapshots taken on a vacation - they document random things I did in SL over the past 14+ yrs. I did try to make some "arty", and I especially like SL forests, beaches and pathways. One of my photos I think got confused by some as a RL forest, but I just kept quiet and accept the compliments 😅

    The people I follow are almost all friends, and a few whose styles I especially liked. The ones who follow me are probably half just advertising things or just randomly adding me and hoping for a follow back. Years back when there were not as many people posting SL pics, or on niche sites like koinup, it was easier to get noticed, now there's too much noise.
