    The hate on child avatars?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    Well I also dislike some things in SL , just like anyone.

    But I am not going to deny them their right to be who they want to be. And I sure as peep am not going to be JUDGING them. Who am I to judge someone that wants to play as a child avatar? That wants to have someone else on a leash? Its none of *my* business tbh... Now ofcourse i dont have to *like* them.

    Guys lets be clear on this one thing before we continue.

    We all agree that child avatars on Adult rated sims are a violation. Thats not what this is about.

     

    Its about the G-Rated and M-rated sims where sometimes a child avatar is greeted with aggression and suspicion.

    This is something we CAN change though. What happened to ''dont judge a book by its cover'' ?

     

    All I am saying is not to jump to conclusions and generalize. Keep an open mind and respect people's personal preferences. I dont like furries but I am not going to ban them from my store just because of that...

    Also i think people look into this way too much maybe.

    Second Life is OUR world. We can shape it the way we see fit and we have the chance to create a society thats welcoming and not toxic and excluding people just because of who they are.

     

    I think with common sense, cutting people slack and minding your own business we can all achieve a great deal already right?

    Enough with the hate really. I get it.. some hate child avies, some hate furries, some hate guys with pussies, some hate avies in wheelchairs.

    But lets step over that hatred and leave it for RL. On here.. when you login, you should be pleasant, non judgemental and use your common sense. It will help a great deal.

    The beauty of second life is that you can ban anyone from your property for whatever reason you chose.

    If only real life was like that.

    The Beauty of SL is that you can be whoever or whatever you want to be, for whatever reason you chose.

    Odd... I've been a Child Av for years and never had a problem with people saying I'm not allowed somewhere just because I am a child. I usually stick to Parcel_lght_G.png/Parcel_lght_M.png sims and visit Parcel_lght_A.png sims on the very odd occasion (normally when either no one or not many people are around and only for a few minutes). The only time I was ever asked to leave somewhere was when I was fishing in an Parcel_lght_A.png sim (didn't notice it was adult at the time). I was sent an IM by the owner saying something along the lines of "This is an adult sim and contains content not suitable for a child avatar, could you please change to an adult avatar or leave the region." and I switched to something else for a bit then left and switched back. Sure I was only staying on the beach where none of that stuff was but the owner was nice about it and it was my own fault for not paying attention to the rating.

    In Parcel_lght_M.png sims with adult content I've never been asked to leave, but that could be because I stay away from anything obviously adult in nature and I don't act childish to everyone and make childish noises constantly. The only hostility I have ever had with someone due to my avatar is a certain real-estate agent that hates child avatars, but he goes around calling everyone clueless gits anyway so I don't think his opinion counts.

    thank you :)

    You're a good kid then. And you are also living evidence that not all child avies are nasty people or entitled.

    I’m leery of kid avatars because they’re a little creepy.

    1) When you see a child avi, your natural reaction is to treat them like....a child. They know this and some people play on this. Then they do things that are decidedly unchildlike.

    Unchildlike such as sex? (then Ia gree with you).

    2) You know they aren’t a child. I’ve had a child before and it can be fun. You know they’re going to do and say unexpected things and that’s fun. Somewhere in the back of your mind you’re thinking “why is this adult doing this? And what are they getting out of it?” That saying and doing unchildlike things comes into play again.

    Maybe they had a bad RL childhood? No mother.. kicked out? Could be many reasons. Why would an adult be one of those bimbos with big hooters and oversized lips? We dont know and quite frankly we shouldnt care about their reasons. Its in our nature to judge, I know. But in SL we have the chance to create a nice, safe community where nobody is being excluded

    Very easy. I want to have fun. All you kiddie avs in places of fun are out to provoke ARs

    ERGO banned

    Same as clickbait.

    If by fun you mean sex then ofcourse i agree.

    No child avatar should be involved in any sexual activity at all.

     

    But if you mean fun as in a themepark, hunt or some other festival then it is unfair to ban child avatars just because you dont like their avie lol.

    And it is well deserved...

    ...

    Me: Sorry short round, no kreepy kid paedo-bait avis allowed on this A-Rated sim

    Kreepy the Kid: But...Bit... I has a dumocratic rite unda the LL ToS to be on da sim dress like a nekkid 8 yr old wid a buttplug, u cant ban meh, I no mah rites, neway i not a kreepy kid, I r a hobbits cos i haz wear footwigs so you can stuf ur sim rules up ur ass cos I r entitled and further moar i jus wanna say...

    Me: Please accept this GENEROUS application of the High Velocity Thighboot Enema of Instant and Permanent Ban-Jection... KTHXBAI! *puntkick*

    Kreepy ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *whiiiiiiiiiizzzzzz\z* *splash*

    ...

    Empirical observation shows that the majority will argue and whine until 59 of their last 60 seconds have expired then wear an adult avi, with the minority being equally divided between "59 seconds of whine and leave" and "59 seconds of whine and scream in agony as they are launched".

    Personally, I'd ban kreepy kids from all non G rated sims, auytomatically, by means of a no mod sim rating detection script in their no mod kreepy kid avis, made by licenced kreepy kid vendors under a scheme similar to LL's skill gaming policy.

    Make kreepy kid products withouttyhe official LL Auto tp off non g-rated sims" script, and you lose your kreepy kid vendors licence. Sell kreepy kid products without a licence, instant IP/Mac ban.

    But hey! That's just my personal opinion based on nearly 6 years of observing the little *******  in SL. :D 
     

    You are generalizing a lot here..

    Anyway... I understand you all have to deal with annnoying children IRL and that parents really NEED a break from their children and hop on SL.

     

    Its a 2way street indeed. However I dont consider a baby avatar as a child avie. The babies are annoying lol.

    i have sex beds on my property i dont want kids there

    end of story

    Very logic and well eleborated argument xD

     

    But yeah from my experience it often seems sim owners have a ''better safe than sorry'' policy in place. Where they unwelcome/ban/eject child avatars JUST Because of who they are. This borders very close to discrimination (not saying it is).

     

    I FULLY understand and agree when a child avatar is for example using a sex bed (I dont care why, 0% tolerance) that you eject and ban them. But when they are just hanging out? Or are there to shop? Or visit friends? I dont see the harm at all.

    Hey everyone!

     

    I'm not a child avatar but some of my friends are.

    Before i befriended them I was so unaware of this  but now it has become clear to me I think its something i have to address to the community.

    The ''hate'' on child avatars is real in SL.

     

    Every so often I pop to a sim (Any rating) and I get welcomed in big capitals ''NO CHILD AVIES ALLOWED"' or ''CHILD AVIES INSTANT BAN''

    I am trying to wonder why this is. Is it because all people that play child avatars are perverts and molestors?

     

    or...

    ... is it the FEAR drilled into us by Linden Lab that sims can be potentially CLOSED when inappropriate actions involving a child avatars are reported?

    There literally is NO reason half of the time to ban or eject a child avatar. Theres no ''porn'' ont he sim or no ''adult items''. INfact some sims are rated PG and M, not even A.

     

    So can someone tell me (preferably a sim owner) WHY you dont welcome child avatars and if this is justified in your eyes.

    Okay y'all need to clam down lol.

    Ever heard of the small businesses going out of business when a big Wall Mart store settles near them? It is kinda like that. The big Wall Mart can negotiate deals and buy in bulk and at much cheaper rates. The small business is then just unable to stay open because of costs.

    Just to be clear, my hangout does get poplular and has a steady traffic. Its not a ''complaining topic'' because Im upset about. Its really only about the prices for the SAME service. We do throw events, hold giveaways, have parties and do contests. Its super fun.

    These places that I am referring to as my competition not only pay far less tier than we do. They never hold events, throw parties or update their builds. They are just ''there''. The're only ABLE to be just there because of the low costs to keep them open. If the owner had to pay the normal price for them maybe he'd care more about his place.

    As for the reason these places are so popular.. its called bots. They generate traffic and it gets up high in search. People go there, hang around a bit and go away but the next one already has arrived.

    Well everything has its value...

    Looking around at other online platforms I'd say LL is milkin the hell out of us.

    We are all too invested and trapped in SL so we wont let go of our lands that easily.

    Sales are however going down and sims closing every day. Its only a matter of time before LL will either have to drop prices or shut SL down.

    They're keeping the price artificially high atm.

    I dont mind competition in SL.

    I LOVE competition!!!

    But when its UNFAIR competition it gets in my way and rubs me the wrong way for sure.

    The 40$ sim is owned by a friend of my RL husband. I will ask for some sort of documentation to prove it.

    Fact is we don't know what shady deals Linden Lab makes with certain residents. I know that atm a full sims very expensive and I would pay for the SAME service as someone who bought their full sim  years ago but now only pays like half of what I pay.

    This system makes it so its very hard for new places to open their doors and continue the legacy of SL. My homestead that I turned into a gay hangout is really nice and the team did a great job landscaping it. These older, cheaper sims that are supposed to be my ''competition'' are pretty much neglected by the owner as they still have all the noob stuff from the early days (prims, poseballs, low res texutures etc.) yet these places continue to be incredibly popular within the gay community. They're able to STAY ALIVE because the owner pays a largely reduced tier. If prices were ALL the same those places would go out of business within a week and NORMAL market/economy systems would apply, meaning my own homestead would see an increase in traffic.

    Hello and ty for reading my post.

     

    I'm the co-owner of a gay hangout sim on second life.

    We own a homestead sim and made it open to the public so gay men can come and enjoy the scenery or the occasional party.

    The competition however within the gay community is fierce. There's a lot of gay sims and hangouts on the grid already. Many of them that still look the same as they did in 2007 but they're still popular and even when they are not popular they still exist.

    Me and my partner started wondering why these gay sims continue to exist. Even when they own multiple sims (like 5-10) they are not closing. Either the owner is really, really rich or he's paying a smaller price.

    Unfortunately we realized the latter is the case. There are a lot of landholders (especially within the gay community on SL) that own multiple sims and made it public. But since they bought their sims a long time ago they only paid a fraction of what we pay. There are FULL SIMS within the gay community that only cost the owner 40$ a month. For a homestead we pay almost 100$.

    So it is basicalyl impossible to compete with that. For the price of 1 full sim (300$) they have 7 full sims and 1 homestead and keep it open at the same cost. This unfair advantage really damages the development and evolvement of SL land ownership. Often these sims havent been touched or updated for years (hence why they look like the noob days of SL).

    To us this a serious problem as we'd also have loved to own 7 full sims for less than 300$ so we can continue to grow and create.

     

    So what is the story behind that? Are they VIP or just lucky? And why doesnt LL make them pay the regular price? If my RL land lord wants to up the price of rent he has the right to do so, but gives me a notice ahead of time so I can decide to stay or leave. I think LL should do the same here and announce they are gonna pay the regular price but they have 3 months to decide.

    TMP Bento Head release date or dead?

    in Mesh

    Posted

    Hey mesh body addicts!

    So its been over 2 years now since TMP released an update.

    With Bento heads comign out left and right and my friends buying them all I've been somewhat stuck with a dilemma.

     

    I would LOVE To go Bento too and buy a head and a shape but the problem is that I love my TMP body and head a lot.

    TMP (TheShops) haven't really updated their body for over 2 years and there's been radio silence ever since. So no news if they are even working on BENTO.

    I heard rumors about the original TMP body and head creators have left the company and are now the people behind the SIGNATURE body and head.

     

    SO I guess all i am looking for are awnsers. Will there be a bento TMP body/head? When? For men too? Or should I consider TMP dead and buy other Bento heads?

     

    I'd love your input please. Its a lot of money and Bento heads arent cheap.

    SUGGESTION: Add ''subscribe'' button to MP stores

    in Merchants

    Posted

    Hey

     

    basically the idea is very simple and its like youtube.

    You can ''subscribe'' to the stores/creatores that you like and everytime they upload a new item to the marketplace you get it on the MP homepage in your overview.

    It's a so much better way to get informed whenever your favorite store comes out with a new item. You don't need inworld groups anymore to receive news about updates either.

    Please can you implement such a feature? It's the biggest thing that is lacking on the mP right now for me.
