Apparently not. There are still some working tools for creating sculpts but they tend to be very idiomatic both when it comes to how they work and what shapes they can produce. I can try and compile a list of them (that's something I should have done anyway) but there probably won't be any that suits yuour needs. We used to be able to create sculpt maps on earlier versions of Blender (I believe it was 2.49 and below). If someone got a copy of an early version of Blender couldn't that still create sculpt maps usable for 2nd life?

Since your premise is wrong then your conclusion has to be as well. Their fantasy, their belief, even as they interact with a toon representation, is that they are with a real woman in 1st life -- this is what they desire. -
That caused me to realize...nobody has ever thought I was a man in SL.
-
Now there's a conversation I'd never expect to see in SL. For me and who I hang around with this doesn't seem unusual at all.

Well, @Gopi Passiflora, I can confirm that I do indeed feel differently as a male in SL (I remember another thread of yours where you said you felt more vulnerable as a female). I feel more assertive (likely coming from my perception that men typically are, more so in group situations). I also feel safer -- I don't put my guard up when some strange guy approaches me. Eager for more exploration with this.

In RL, would you be offended if a man holds a door open for you? Would you be offended if you were expected to cover your head and shoulders and stay in the back of a mosque while men and women were praying in it? In SL as in RL, I think we should take into account that other people may not mean to be jerks until it's clear that they do mean to be. I think some behaviors can be limiting or even offensive to women without them being intended to be denigrating. Oh I very much take this into account. In fact, I've rolled my eyes at friends who seemed offended that a man held the door open for them. I just smile and say thank you because I know they mean well. Just the same, stereotyped ways of relating to anybody (men, women, gays, straights...whatever) has a damaging effect to society overall because we're relating through roles or putting people into boxes as opposed to relating to others as they really are. So we're kind of dumping on them, really -- projecting or putting our own stuff onto them without their consent.

Entitlement is assuming one has the right to stuff - attention, information, space (eg. man-spreading), food (as in cultures where the men are served first), preference for job placement, etc. Male entitlement assumes men are superior to women because those males have been taught this from childhood. They might not even realize that this mindset is denigrating to women, because they think women prefer a secondary, supportive position (such as Goreans who believe "real women" are naturally submissive). They may believe that women are naturally inclined to be caregivers, while men are not. They may believe many things subconsciously, without realizing that their beliefs are harmful to those who are not like them (eg. those are a different gender). They might even think they're charming or that they put women on a pedestal. They might be someone who would hold a door open for a women or offer to carry her packages. It's just that they are so set in a gendered mindset that they don't understand when some of their behavior is actually limiting, paternalistic or self-entitled. An example is a man who tells a woman to smile, while he would never think to tell a man to do so. Expand You're brave, I assumed the question was rhetorical, trying to trap us in yet another irrelevant discussion and derail! I find it hard to believe Luna does not know the difference. But you never know. Intelligent people like to discuss things and learn. I'm sorry you don't like to participate.

Accusing anyone of transphobia simply because of their natural human sexual preferences is so wrong on so many levels. I can't believe I have to point that out. But nobody has done that, Ingrid. She said: Whether or not this somehow ties into another poster pointing out that some % of people really are using SL as a RL dating app, not sure. It could be that or outright homophobia or a result of "once bitten, twice shy". Not sure why people do use SL as a RL dating thing when there are other apps far more suited to RL relationships/hookups etc.
-
It could be outright homophobia. Homophobia exists -- it's not a crime to suggest this could be the case here. I mean, she didn't even say for sure that it was...she simply suggested it could be for god's sake.
-
Well it's nice to know there's homophobia to blame the next time it rains. You're talking to someone who watched her lesbian partner in agony as her children were almost taken away from her forever due to the homophobia and general bigotry in this god-forsaken place where the courthouse looks like Wyatt Earp could walk out of it at any moment. They didn't get the kids though! We won! Her pain, her agony, the whole freaking mess pretty much ruined her life and our relationship. So don't you EVER talk to me about homophobia....something you know nothing about.
-
Yes they do sometimes get mad, because they (men) can't seem to wrap their head around even a single one of the dozens of valid reasons a woman—or anyone—might not wish to voice in SL. Funny, it is the men too. I have never had a woman ask me to voice when I am in my male avatar specifically to verify my RL sex or gender. However, before I stated clearly in my profile as Kat I am male in RL, I'd get almost a daily ask from a guy to voice verify that I was a woman. Whether or not this somehow ties into another poster pointing out that some % of people really are using SL as a RL dating app, not sure. It could be that or outright homophobia or a result of "once bitten, twice shy". Not sure why people do use SL as a RL dating thing when there are other apps far more suited to RL relationships/hookups etc. Yes, I agree Katherine...it could be that or outright homophobia or a result of "once bitten, twice shy". We just don't know do we, and it varies from person to person. But yes, homophobia is quite prevalent so you are wise to suspect this.

Gopi you should just turn back into your little grey, sexless alien don't you think? This is all too much 🤣
-
I'm sure those exist, but the one's I've heard about were just places where one couple was trying to find another couple willing to play with them. It was not an orgy scene.
-
Does it really matter? From the last few posts from @BilliJo Aldrinit's apparent that she likes to humiliate people for her own entertainment. It does matter...the point being made. I don't really care what BilliJo's motives are as I'm not considering whether she is an enemy or not..I"m arguing the point. And the point is that I don't think you understand what a swinger's club means, or what the rules should be there, yet you assume you do and you're telling everyone else how they should be. Let this be a warning to dear Gopi -- be careful if you go to any swingers clubs in your female persona ;0
-
Someone doesn't give it a free pass anymore when I see it. You assumed something incorrectly.
-
Why would Katherine suggesting that homophobia could be at play here mean that anyone who preferred the opposite gender would automatically be homophobic? Homophobia does, after all, exist.

the point is he is with a girl, why is he iming another girl, its just rude, that would be like texting during rl sex. i am doing the girl a favor by letting her know he thinks so little of her thats he is already looking for his next conquest You bring up a good point -- 'swingers' does not mean the same as 'orgy' nor does it mean all agreements between couples are ignored.
