I consider myself old enough !

So a new continent is born to welcome all adult activities.

So people who won’t have been checked before won’t be able to search for nor access adult tagged sims.

So a single tiny piece of land devoted to adult activities will have the whole sim where it is located tagged as adult.

All these changes and some others will apply as soon as the new viewer will be available. Some people already took some drastic steps to express their opinion on the matter as a well known shop owner who decided to abruptly cease all business in sl and left giving away all the fine products she took so many years to craft.

I sincerely don’t think these new sl laws will have a great impact on my virtual life as most of the places I visit are not located on a continent and are entirely devoted to these peculiar games we bunch of perverts seem to enjoy.

My profile has been checked already through money information and I shouldn’t experience any difficulty searching for and accessing adult themed locations.

Though I don’t belong to the “proud parents” category, I do fully agree with the whole idea of preventing kids and teenagers from wandering in places where they shouldn’t.

So, why do I feel nervous and rather disturbed by this new direction Linden has decided to take ?

I love sl because it allows me to live the multi sided life that rl doesn’t allow me to live, an existence of different colors, a quilt which harmony is solely forged by my own will, desire and my ability to respect the privacy and sensitivity of my virtual neighbors.

I consider myself old enough to be able to refrain some of my needs, words and actions when I know or feel that there is a chance that they could offend someone else.

I consider myself old enough to be able to adapt my behavior and my attitude to my environment.

I consider myself old enough to understand and definitely respect the fact that other people don’t share or have difficulties to accept the way I see and do things and I am always extremely careful not to offend their sigh nor their judgment.

I definitely need no one to tell me nor to remind me where, when and how I must adjust myself in order to fit in the set.

Besides, I consider myself old enough to leave a sim where I feel uncomfortable or to mute a person whose actions and words I find offensive. I would never think of asking Linden to delete these sims nor to ban these people or worse, to park them in some remote parcel out of my sight.

I wouldn’t but apparently some other people would and in fact did.
