    I've always thought it a shame that Blueberry doesn't make outfits for men. Somewhere there must be a creator of mens clothing that is on-par with Blueberry in the high-quality department.

    Pucca Firecaster and Nobel Creations are excellent for menswear in my opinion.

    @Kardargo Adamczyk , so are you going to file a lawsuit? Will you keep us posted on the legal proceedings in this thread? 🍿 🍺

    Indeed. It will be a big job. I would budget US$ 1 million to get started. One would expect an immediate countersuit for libel. It will be ugly, and the only winners will be the lawyers.

    Secondly, I know you have to file for copyright in America and I said that in my post.

    You keep saying that, but it's a bit more involved. 

    "Copyright is automatically granted to the author of an original work (that otherwise meets the basic copyright requirements, discussed above). Registration is not necessary. However, registration amplifies a copyright holder's rights in a number of ways. Registration is required before a lawsuit can be filed, and registration creates the possibility for enhanced "statutory" damages.

    A copyright can be registered online at the US Copyright Office's website. The Copyright Office reviews applications for obvious errors or lack of copyrightable subject matter, and then issues a certificate of registration. The Copyright Office does not compare the authors new work against a collection of existing works or otherwise check for infringement."

    Libel is not legal, and so care must be taken generally speaking. 

    "Written defamation is called "libel," while spoken defamation is called "slander." Defamation is not a crime, but it is a "tort" (a civil wrong, rather than a criminal wrong). A person who has been defamed can sue the person who did the defaming for damages."

    Making SL more welcoming to males

    I can't relate with these because I usually hangout at gay community sims. So barely see the females (duh). 😁

    Well, you were lucky to get that calling. For those of us that did not, perhaps someday we'll have the technology to put one gender's brain in the other gender's body. We could make a game of it.  Maybe call it Second Life.

    Considering that many of the girls that hate men and prefer women are mostly like a man pretending to be a woman.    

    In my part of SL, friends communicate mostly by voice (Discord these days, but Teamspeak and Ventrillo before that). SL voice works ok, but lacks the bells and whistles of the gaming voice programs. 

    About 10% have different apparent gender in-voice versus apparent gender in-world. People got used to it a long time ago, and it's no big deal. 

    Certainly it does not, in the balance, tip the scales toward making SL either more or less attractive for men. It's a wash in my opinion.

    What is the best method to learn SL?

    Thank you for your link that remind me that it exists  pages that people wrote. But but but I can start and I already read that. It helps. I recall you that reading english demand me a huge effort. And if for exemple I need to know what is texture for sl ... I can start reading lot and lot of pages... I will learn few new concept. or I still can use the search "texture". What is a texture?.

     

    I think you should know that process is what we all have to do. I am currently working on my second original flying bird vehicle. I chose the project because I am already reasonably good at scripting, inworld building, and out-of-world mesh building and Photoshop'ing, and I wanted a project that put all these skills together. 

    Even though I am reasonably knowledgeable about several things, I still have to dissect the scripting wiki pages, build test scripts to clarify ambiguities, and study known anomalies in the JIRA. 

    Don't be surprised when you have to dig a little for answers. That is part of the game. 

    You might post questions in the creation forums from time to time. More creators hang out there.

    Aww, Erwin...don't be that way!

    Cheap shot because you know that males cannot get away with returning the condescension in-kind. 

    SL is very welcoming to males (which is the original topic here).  The general discussion forums not so much.

    Thanks for steering us back on topic, Erwin.

    Hey, all you male-type guys!  Did you notice there's now a thread about Manly Men?  See?  We're making SL more welcoming to males every day!

    No, I think because of the double-standard applied to men's expression in the forums, well explained and brazenly exhibited above, that men do well to avoid gendered topics in these forums when they can. I regret entering this topic after what has transpired here, and am now doubly on my guard.

    it's not a speculation, many female avas are run by men in rl, doing webcam i know it, anyway is what you get in sites like this and SL is welcoming to males honestly.

    Imagine an erotic film with a male director steering the action. Not much different. So, SL is welcoming to males including those  interested in playing the role of choreographer.

    I mentioned gender here because the topic is gendered: "Making SL more welcoming to males"

    Setting aside the speculation about a large percentage of female avatars being run by male RL humans, there certainly seem to be more female avatars than male, but most of the biggest places cater to the sexual appetites of men.

    Agreed. I think SL is already incredibly welcoming to men. Yet if anyone imagines a way to make it even more so, I am sure the idea will be implemented quickly.
