Imagine you spend years building up relationships with your clients and establishing your business and brand in the marketplace and one of your key employees sets up a competing business on the back of your business and, virtually overnight, solicits your clients across to his/her competing business.

I don't think that people wanting child avatars is a bad thing, as Violetta said, it could be very cathartic for those who missed their childhood... I had a good one I think, but
I still miss it at times.

A friend of mine once told me that all Women on SL are Men and all Child avatars are the FBI, that was pretty cheeky, and I'm sure it's wrong but I had to write it.

Furries do cop a bit of flack now and then, but only from people who think it's just a weird fetish... Like Violetta, I'm not a furry because of the sexual stuff, it just suits me.

I think it's a shame that I can't bring my grand neice into SL with me, She's seen it and loves it.

I would love to see something setup where kids are allowed on the main grid,
provided they can only get on g-rated islands, can only log in with a parent or guardian and cannot teleport to another island without their guardian.

SL has done a lot to bring friends together, but families have been a bit left out.

Wolfie!

In Second Life I live it as a child. This has nothing to do with sexual stuff. I just live life as a child, get a family and act like a child. For some of my fellow Second Lifers, its a chance to relive your childhood, if you’ve had a bad one. You’re cared for and highly protected.

What’s to say it’s child porn?

Just seeing this post quite late…. I refuse to comment on “Tim G.”‘s post because it was frankly ignorant.

However, I would like to explain that EGL – Elegant Gothic Lolita – is a fashion movement from Japan that is anything but sexual. It’s no more sexual than the babydoll dress craze of the 90s. Weird, but *not* sexual. It’s just a fashion thing, clothing inspired by Victorian and doll-like styles of dress. There’s a male version too. The “Lolita” part is just the English name that Japanese trendsetters chose. It doesn’t serve the purpose of making the wearer appear as an actual child.

Who really cairs? There just cartoons of girls that may or may not be underage. The key word here is “Cartoons” as in not real.

I know, I know in some parts of the world even that is illegal but I just don’t get make a law that makes it illegal.
