Every OSW Debate Ever |
Here's another evergreen OSW debate for ya... a troll latches on to a well-respected member of the community. Then, under the guise of 'defending' their famous friend, they launch attacks of righteous indignation on, ya know, anyone.
The famous (but completely gaslighted) friend then defends the troll, and we all shake our heads and say nothing. Cuz, what can anyone usefully say?

The information in this post and the comments may be useful in the reoccurring debate about child avatars in OS.
1. A definition of sexual ageplay by a grid that, due to resident concerns and international law, has prohibited it since 2010.
• "Depictions of, or engagement in, sexualized conduct with avatars that resemble children."
This grid does not permit
• Participation by residents in lewd or sexual acts in which one or more of the avatars appears to represent minors (or the depiction of such acts in images, video, textures, or text).
• The placement of avatars appearing to represent minors in proximity to "sex beds" or other sexualized graphics, objects, or scripts.
• The placement of items that have sex play animations in areas depicting playgrounds or children's spaces.
2. Some information that can be useful in determining if an avatar appears to be that of a minor.
Whether an avatar
• has childlike facial features,
• is child-sized,
• has clothing or accessories generally associated with children,
• and whether, based on the circumstances, an avatar is speaking or acting like a child ('My Mommy says...')".
3. Some facts to consider when using height to determine if an avatar is adult size or not:
For adult males
• The country with the tallest average height, 6 ft, is the Netherlands.
• One of the countries with the shortest average height, 5 ft., is Denmark.
• Worldwide, the overall average height of an adult male is 5 ft. 7 in.
For adult females:
• The country with the tallest average height, 5 ft. 7 in. is the Netherlands.
• The country with the shortest average height, 4 ft., is Bangladesh.
• Worldwide, the overall average height of an adult female is 5 ft. 3 in.

Oh here is one I have been accused of and I have also noticed this rule does not apply to everyone: "Stop using up space in the box with more than 2 paragraphs!"
The BDSM Debate
(To the tune of Bohemian Rhapsody) ♪
1. "You're just a weird guy from a sad family, You like to spank and that seems kind of sick to me, Please do not post about your monstrosity" ♪
2. "You are mean, I'm so nice, let me do my thing!"
3. "We will not, NO, we will not let it go!"
4. "Let it go!... "
5. "We LIKE to troll, ...so that would be a no"
6. "Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia. Mamma mia, let me go... osw has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me..."
Ad infinitum.
My thanks to Thirsa Ember.

I will add some comments I've encountered:
7. "You don't know what real BDSM is."
8. "You are doing it wrong".
9. "The only legitimate kind of BDSM is maledom. Femdom is not legit".
10. "Aftercare is not important".
11. "The only legit BDSM is RL, Virtual BDSM is not the real thing."

You missed another topic that comes around a lot. Criticism of BDSM, and then BDSM people complaining that their feelings have been hurt. Which, wait a minute, surely they ought to enjoy that.

The Meaning of OpenSim is...
1. Short for "OpenSimulator" which is an open-source server platform originally launched in 2007 for hosting virtual worlds and metaverse environment.
2. "I was banned from a grid. What part of OpenSim don't they understand?
3. "I was banned from a grid. OpenSim should be open to everyone."

A special prize ought to be conferred on those people who write a 45 paragraph 'comment' reiterating what everyone else in the thread has already said.

The meaning of Sharing Is Caring...
1. A marketing slogan for copybotted content.
2. A marketing slogan for a pro-STD campaign.
3. You can come live in my mom's basement for free, too.
The Biggest Copy-Botters in OS are...
1. Every visitor from AviTron.
2. Every visitor to Paranoid Grid.
3. You are.
4. No, you are.
5. No, you are!
