    I have found this to be a quick and easy program to install on my computer to combine shapes without having to go line-by-line through the boxes and sliders of the Appearance tab. You save the one shape you want for the head. You save the one shape you want for the body. Then, the program combines them into one XML file which you upload in the Appearance tab. https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Dr-Frank-Shape-Combiner/22345045

    I thought the article was interesting, unlike some of the people who purported to abandon it mid-way. I made it three pages into the thread when the general and populist contempt for academic writing jumped out, and I'm going to abandon it instead.

    We don't have any indication that this was an avatar presenting as a minor other than the visual assessment of the person posting the account. I assume the person telling this story checked the profile of the party they found offensive, and didn't find any indication of overt rule breaking and didn't hear them in local chat purporting themselves to be a minor or a representation of a minor being played by an adult.

    Not to bring too much real-world sadness into the thread, but considering what we've heard about the way teenage actors under the age of majority have been treated recently, I wouldn't mind if all high schoolers were played by 20 year olds.
  7. Blaise Glendevon
    But have you considered minding your business? Their profiles say they're above the age of majority. Nothing in them, I assume, indicates any nefarious attempt to play younger.

    So, some of us have basically kind of dialed it in on the conversation we've been having in other threads that people react more to facial features than Avatar height as an indication of age.

    I don't doubt that there are people violating community norms to create third-party modifications for ferals. But those people are doing so without the authorizations of the body's manufacturers.
  10. Blaise Glendevon
    Serious answer to a light-hearted question, but all of the major manufacturers of feral avatars are pretty opposed to making them anatomically correct. No one's putting covers on kitty butts, but making third party mods to give your four legged avatar private parts is a good way to get yeeted out of developers groups and permissions for mod kits.
  11. Blaise Glendevon
    I don't understand how representatives of Linden Labs could answer a question about a manufacturer with any authority at all.

    My bad. I made this comment before I saw the moderator's ruling.
  13. Blaise Glendevon
    We're against child labor 'round here, too.
  14. Blaise Glendevon
    I wouldn't expect to. If I saw those things on an otherwise mature looking avatar, I'd assume they were depicting women above the age of majority engaging in CG/L dynamics in a consensual kink relationship. You've gone all the wrong way around here. Bodies are a terrible way of determining whether a person (usually an AFAB person, in this conversation) is a legal adult under the standards of the laws LL is governed by. Which is why we're analyzing faces so intently and looking for other context clues.

    The new season of Bridgerton drops in 7 days, and I'm generally being unbearable and playing the string covers of pop songs from the show's previous seasons.
  16. Blaise Glendevon
    Yes. In the language of the law of the United States, to which Linden Labs is beholden, everyone under the age of 18 is a child. Codex Alpha is trying to confuse the issue by making this conversation about avatars that very clearly depict the kinds of children we'd call child-like. Toddler through Middle School. But even teenagers who are under the age of 18, or fictionalized depictions thereof, apply under this policy.

    From your first link:

    Those overalls are super cute, tho.
  19. Blaise Glendevon
    Not children. Minors.
  20. Blaise Glendevon
    Clearly children. And one of them is clearly possessed.
  21. Blaise Glendevon
    Alwin's avatar is a real edge case for me, because either that's a young man under the age of majority or any number of the trans guys I've known before the vitamin T kicks in.
  22. Blaise Glendevon
    Sis, it is against terms of service to depict minors, real or imaginary, in sexual situations.
  23. Blaise Glendevon
    I do wonder if people would be tempted to uncharitably rate gender-nonconforming avatars as suspect, because of the weird cultural perception that gender non-conforming people are performing a fetish.
  24. Blaise Glendevon
    I think you've missed the point. The new policy forbids the sexualized depiction of minors. It doesn't matter who's doing the depiction.
  25. Blaise Glendevon
    I would disagree. There were only one or two clear "child" avatars, but several avatars that could read as either teenager under the age of majority OR teenager over the age of majority.
