I actually ended up redoing this project completely, which is why there was never any news about it. It's one of my large projects I'm currently finishing up on, so I may need a few more volunteers. For now, all testing is done on my end, but so far so good, so be sure to keep an eye out for a future release post!

YES...Flags and other signs of communitarianism end up being the showcase of the differences created by haters. Being one and united should be the goal rather than showing these false differences! (I love you Blake ;-)

I tried to plead for more empathy and human warmth and not to add hate to hate but apparently it seems that knowing how to read and understand is not within everyone's reach and as I said no one changes their mind... I will no longer try to read those who cannot read. There are better things to do to change the world than writing here, maybe have a real life and make things happen IN REAL LIFE!

In principle I agree with you, but after I was insulted and abused so much here in the OSW, you know who by, I also became radicalized, but without using swear words that suggest bad upbringing.

Eh no one is requiring her to love anyone. Supporting equal human rights is what this is about. No justice; no peace means that there isn't peace for those who are marginalized until there is justice. There is no "justice for all" if marginalized groups are not included. It's an axiom, not a threat.

No one can. It's a delusion. And equal rights affects everyone everywhere and in every world. :)

Why not let everyone here think what they want? Will debating or demonstrating anything here change the world? Even this virtual one? At best, you will be read by a few dozen people (and I am very optimistic!) and many of them, if they understand you (and it has not always been the case for me since I am French...) there is a very good chance that none of them will change their mind!
Why bring real problems here? I will never understand! We have the opinions we want, and sometimes it is worth fighting for our ideas. But only when it can be useful for something, in the real world! (for example for our elections, in France or later in the USA!).
Here, it should be a haven of peace, where we come to forget our worries, create things more or less original but which will always please some (and first of all its creator!), discover other's creations all arround the HyperGrid or simply be able to talk with people from the other side of the world (a little too English-speaking for my taste ;-).
Keep cool (calm?) and live and let live!

Why can't others just scroll by when another person does something or speaks out for the rights of a marginalized group? Perhaps you need to do a bit of research on Pride to get it. No, I won't post links; do it yourself. Just use Google. And yes, debating and demonstrating DO make a difference! Without debating and demonstrating, we would have had suffrage or the Civil Rights Act in the USA. We wouldn't have seen an end to the Viet Nam War when we did. That is the REAL meaning of free speech - the right to ASSEMBLE and EXPRESS a dissenting view. NOT hate speech! Clearly, this post didn't apply to you. MOVE ON.

Unfortunately, the virtual world cannot really be separated from the real world. We are real people, with our feelings, thoughts and dreams. We remain that way in-world too. You know that I like you, but the criticism that Suzi posts here is also a fact that upsets me a little.

Try to find a word that I could have said against someone when he did nothing to me?
You seem to be the very example of what I was saying, people who can't help but say bad things when it has no importance here....
I really like what Cyberglo does and have often said so! I liked this post too, because I support all those who feel attacked.
Here and in real life I have nothing against gays, lgbtxyz+-*/, blacks, blues or shepherds even German one!! (on the contrary I love German shepherds and all animals)
Even If I dont always like the way he says his opinions (and I don't always understand it or read it. Once again, I'm French and I don't master all the subtleties of English. So try to speak to me in French before giving your opinion on what I write!) I will always be with Glenn, he is one of the few that supported me after some dramas when I was about to leave all this shark bag !

By supporting Xpletive you condone his behaviour. We are known by those whose company we keep. But of course, it's your prerogative.
liked(2)
Another one who just does not get it. Xpletive is a fascist. I wish there were other words I could use, but there are not. Are you telling me that you support fascism? I doubt that you do, so I suggest thinking on it. What you're suggesting is that a blind eye should be cast... Fascism goes way beyond objectionable, it is an affront to humanity.
I am not normally given to hatred, I'm tolerant and understanding, but toleration of evil is a crime. Were Xpletive a child, of course I'd condone attempts to steer them away, but clearly they are not, but have made a conscious choice. They are completely and utterly culpable
All it takes for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.

Whilst I strongly disagree that dogmatism in this context is any kind of precursor to becoming a tyrant or fascist, I concur with the idea that the true evil of fascism is that ultimately we have to use the methods of fascism to combat it. It does not allow for any other approach. Of course, should someone who is a fascist recant and change their ways, all power and respect to them.
However, the best way of avoiding the need to denounce fascism or fascists is for societies and groups to do that work by default so that fascist voices are always challenged.
Again, I fond myself quite flabbergasted that you fail to grasp the gravity of this issue.
"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

They will hear it a thousand times! I will never remain silent, as that would mean abandoning the habits of a lifetime. I have campaigned against fascists all my adult life in RL, and though I cannot do it so well there now, I can do it in places like this! Fascism needs to be challenged wherever it manifests.

Yes Ankh is correct. You are able to visit. But I would recommend not expecting all furniture, vehicles or features to work because of missing scripts now. Also, I swear it is not an iceburg in the water along all shores. It is due to the textures missing. Same with trees and other aesthetics.

Nope, women were not allowed to vote in most of ancient Greece, including in Athens. Nor could they own land on their own. Aristotle claimed women were incapable of making important decisions themselves. Athenian woman had little opportunity in economic and legal life, including politics. The big exception was Sparta. That was a whole different show. Women could not only vote and hold office and go to court, but held immense power all of their own.

To add more detail to your excellent comment...
The disadvantage of being female in ancient Athena began at birth. The Athenians would, at times, kill their kids. “Historians believe that girls were at a higher risk of infanticide because of their gender, as most families preferred to have at least one healthy boy who could inherit their lands and fortune”.
So, that sucks.
Girls “did not receive any formal education because it was focused exclusively on boys. Boys were educated to play a role in the political and military life of the city-state of Athens. Due to this, the education of girls and women was seen as useless.”
But girls did learn how to cook, clean, and sew! So, that’s something. The thing is that “...the role of women was to marry and have children. Ensuring that the family continues on was the parents’ main concern, especially fathers, as they would not want the family fortune to disappear. To secure their legacy, fourteen-year-old girls would be married to older men usually chosen by their fathers or another male relative. Thus, girls would not choose their husbands nor have any influence over the matter”.

But they could vote, right? Wrong. The fact is that, in Athens. women had no independent existence in the eyes of the law, leading Plato to propose that women should be given the same education as men, the same access to the law courts, the same rights to own and inherit property, to hold public office, to compete in athletics and to live and work as equals to men.
Didn’t happen.

Thanks @Antonia I wish you the best! It's so strange to see this kind of reaction and especially to see that we are not the only ones to experience this. This is perhaps what we call narcissistic perverts in psychiatry, a strategy to see people suffer... But because of them it's such a shame to find this even in the virtual world and it's sad to end up always thinking that a "friend" can reveal himself like this at any time :'(
I am often on the edge of a knife wanting to leave these virtual worlds because of these people and other reactions so negative, "fortunately" we also find people who seem to remain normal and friendly...

Jamie, I'm with you all the way but i don't really understand why not name this sim and this man... I was very close to him too, shortly but really, i felt sorry for what he told me about his life and told him a lot about me too which he then used to insult me after trying to get me to come back after his ban... I have many things rl that I wanted to forget in opensim, and, if not a comfort, but at least a good diversion. I didn't think I would find such a ... pervert there. Speaking of what we are trying to overcome in OS, he told me quickly that you were going through a difficult time rl but rather than trying to help you I think he especially wanted to see us together on an animation ... I don't understand how he can be like this, he has a huge grudge against women in rl and wants to make everyone pay for it even in virtual or he is really sick and takes drugs ... in any case he must be very unhappy but that is no reason to ruin the virtual of others and making sure that his sim dies would be a good thing for all those he could still harm ...
