Here's a link to a post with information that may be useful in the reoccurring debate about child avatars in OS. https://opensimworld.com/post/105659

It can be a resource for current and future front-page discussions on the topic. If you have any comments about it, please post them here.

[NOTE] My apologies. That post was poorly written, and it's no surprise to me that people had trouble understanding the "why," and even the "WHY?", of it. It's been rewritten with fewer words, and more clarity.

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.

Please stop with the white powder and take your pills!
How is it possible to have sex with pixels or rape them without their consent? I've been trying to get consent from two monitor pixels for years, but they're gay and don't like women :(
I also try incest with whatever is in the middle area of the monitor, but it always turns out that the entire monitor is born in China and no part is related to me :(
I even tried to pay for sex and put greenback into the computer. The fan got stuck and I paid for an expensive repair (no sex).

So TAKE YOUR MEDICATION!!!
It is not possible to change your age or gender by staring at the monitor!!!
If you do it right it's called Role Playing!
If you don't understand how to do it, it's a complete waste of time! Go wash dishes or change diapers!
