This stuff has been going on for years. Back in the day when I was in SL and had never heard of OS, I had a large, successful rental property with 80 apartments, 12 sky boxes, cottages, and a castle in the sky which stayed rented. I think people who have rentals probably see a lot more than the average person. I did. Some of my tenants made me feel uncomfortable so I would keep an eye on them and at the same time, try to respect their privacy. Some of the people that engage in these disgusting behaviors are stupid besides being perves and would use local for their emotes and chat and THAT is what revealed what was happening on my property. They would get the boot and a report and ban and no refund :). Second Life has known about this crap for years. Sadly, it has taken someone going public to finally get their attention. I agree, Open Sim will likely experience some blowback. But then again, don't think for a moment it isn't happening here. It is really sad because it would be really cute to create a little avatar to "play" one's child, which is innocent and a lot of people like to do it, but because of idiots, it is probably best to just avoid all child avatars and forgo family roleplay because the pervs have ruined it. I hope something is finally done about it and real-life consequences happen for those involved because if they are doing it in virtual... :( :( :(
