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.

Agreed. Hopefully they'll do their best, it's not an easy thing to tackle and toes will be stepped on but i think it's worth it. I forsee a lot of pushback from some communities in sl

It'll probably be locked by page 2

Is that dress from Tres Blah? I love that dress.

Threads where anything of any substance is discussed usually are locked after 2 pages. Or earlier. Moral of the story...keep it light and stupid!

Lunch. Serious bizniss

Every weekend sales event. And a lot of rp'ers who bring their rp to the stores.

On a related note, I've often wondered how rl black people feel about the raceplay sims in sl. I'm guessing not real positive but don't want to speak for anyone.

This thread makes me realize how much I miss meaningful discussions in the official forums. So many get locked 7 posts in.

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.

These threads are often frustrating because there is such a huge push back anytime someone says anything about misogyny in sl. Let's be real. It's everywhere in SL. It's not against the TOS. And it's not against the law. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Agree. Unfortunately so many female avatars are both those things to rl women.

Many people who are abused end up with low self esteem and then continue to seek abuse

A lot of women don't like misogyny. And alot of of female avis participating in misogyny are men behind the female avatars.

Most users are not women irl.

So... also not good. By the way some europeans are also women.

YES! LL really supports LGBTQ events on their own official channels. Women's day was ignored. Misogyny is rampant in SL.

Marianne that is stunning. wow. I love landscaped outdoor spaces in sl and this is why.

My current bedroom in my doyle Victorian. Ready for a nap.

yeah... I mean you'd think right?

A well run company would have this figured out after 20 years.
