Unfortunately a lot of people in sl have bought into the idea that having a nice avi somehow makes them amazing and they get quite snooty about who they talk to. Don't take it personally. It's hilarious when you think about what's probably behind the avatar.

I was refering to this. (below). I'm glad they're going to try something new, hopefully people will be able to speak more freely there. But I have my doubts.

You could be absolutely right, and it's entirely possible that it's a conscious decision of LL to look at who the rl users are of the platform and adjusting their PR to suit them. I've kind of thought this is exactly the case. Diversity be damned.

I would imagine it is honestly. As a woman, I've thought about getting rid of my premium account a lot lately.

I don't know honestly, I'm not an expert when it comes to making policy in online games. It's hard to avoid in sl and really kind of embedded in the culture for a lot of reasons.

I think acknowledging that exists in sl is a good first step. Official support from LL for women's day would be great.

It's called "the cycle of abuse". It's real, it's not "an old trope". https://www.verywellmind.com/the-cycle-of-sexual-abuse-22460#:~:text=People who were sexually abused,as a cycle of abuse. Does that account for everyone into misogyny as a kink? No. But it does for some women.
