A different kind of definition for Open Life

Tagline: Was Open Life invented by pedophiles?

I found this approach a bit bewildering and interesting, yet not in a funny way...

Quote:
[12:32] Chatter 1: Does anyone know what "OpenLife" is?
[12:33] Chatter 2: Ignore what people on the forums seem to think. It's NOT the promised land
[12:34] Chatter 1: The screenshots they are showing look exactly like SL, only like, SL from 4 years ago. I don't get it... I thought SL was already open source?
[12:34] Chatter 2: the servers aren't
[12:35] Chatter 3: yeah, only the viewer
[12:35] Chatter 1: Is OpenLife going to be connected with SL's grid?
[12:36] Chatter 4: not asfaik but open sim is being talked about
[12:37] Chatter 1: I don't get it... Is it like for pedophiles or something? Or people who don't want to pay for land?
[12:37] Chatter 2: o.0
[12:37] Chatter 8: you still pay for alnd
[12:38] Chatter 8: annnnnd here it comes out of order...
[12:38] Chatter 3: you've got some weird ideas, Chatter 1
[12:38] Chatter 5: o.0
[12:39] Chatter 1: Well, they banned pedophilia in SL earlier, and now they create like an SL2, lol.
[12:39] Chatter 3: 0.whaaa?
[12:40] Chatter 5: land too
[12:40] Chatter 3: there ARE other virtual worlds, you know.
[12:40] Chatter 1: And the pedophiles had all those posters up a long time ago for a "Free Second Life", and then I stop seeing the posters, and now I see this... Just sounds fishy.
[12:40] Chatter 2: like, for serious?
[12:41] Chatter 3: pedophilia is banned across the web
[12:41] Chatter 2: er....I mean...what?
[12:41] Chatter 3: well, isn't it pretty much illegal everywhere?
[12:41] Chatter 3: damn chat lag
[12:41] Chatter 6 stares at Japan
[12:41] Chatter 1: Well, Child-Avatar-Sex or whatever its called. It was A-OK in SL until like a year ago, and when they banned it, there were these posters up all over the place for a "Free Second Life".
[12:42] Chatter 3: I'm pretty sure the idea is simply to have a grid that's not run by Linden Labs.
[12:43] Chatter 7: actually, it was around April of 07 and the morality police also tried to ban BDSM
[12:43] Chatter 2: Or.....to simply have a competitor without political motivation, because...Linden Labs was idealistic once too, remember
[12:44] Chatter 7: tried to ban RP that involved murder, not only limited to dolcett and snuff but ANY murder
[12:45] Chatter 1: Oh ok, that makes sense, but whose actually behind OpenLife, like what company would you be buying currency from?
[12:45] Chatter 3: In a way, it's kind of amazing that SL's stayed as free as it has
[12:45] Chatter 7: (i'm not sure what conversation I logged in on, sorry...I just saw "child avatar sex" and it got my dander up)
[12:46] Chatter 7: (cuz that was a smokescreen and alot of people don't realize how broad "broadly offensive" really is)
[12:46] Chatter 7: AND IT PISSES ME OFF
[12:46] Chatter 3: Chatter 1 had assumed that OpenLife or whatever it is was created for illegal sex
[12:46] Chatter 7: there is already red light
[12:47] Chatter 7: people get their sex there, I assume
[12:47] Chatter 2: VIRTUAL sex
[12:47] Chatter 7: I *hope* it was created so you don't have to pay 1 grand to buy a sim
[12:48] Chatter 7: but it's not really ready for prime time is it? It wasn't last time I checked
[12:48] Chatter 2: no, it's not
[12:48] Chatter 1: Well, it was just one assumption, lol, I didn't see it until today, I wasn't sure.

All I know is Lalinda Lovell is a HUGE advocate for Open Life.

She had quite a few sims on Second Life that were heavily geared toward child avs. They looked innocent enough at a glance until you saw the poseballs and skybox rentals at 30 minutes a pop. Needless to say they became rampant trolling grounds for pedophiles, which she did not discourage.

So, after the LL crackdown she packed up her toys and moved them to Open Life. Whether she had anything to do with the creation of Open Life is beyond me, but it's pretty apparent what her intentions are.

Not Open Life.... Litesim. It's based on the Open Life project, but, is a standalone entity. (^_^)

And while it's easy to refer to [sexual] ageplayers as pedophiles... That's a bit umbrella. (T_T)

Ah Litesim, my bad. I can't keep my breakaways straight!

As for the [sexual] ageplayers thing, if someone is attracted to and physically stimulated by sexual acts with a child (child avs in this case), yes i would consider that person a pedophile.

By definition, a pedophile is an adult who is sexually attracted to children.

I would argue that the children in question would have to be real... But... I know where this argument goes and I'm stopping here. (T_T)

No pedo happening in OpenLife that I ever saw. Child Avatars are not banned but I have seen less then a handful there.

OpenLife has to stay within the laws of USA (servers are here), Australia (founded there and owner lives(D) there and Taiwan (Main office is there because labor is cheap). Ownership is protective of the place and illegal things such as gambling, etc that LL cannot have (due to servers, offices, etc) apply there too.




*******************EDIT*************************** **********
I am leaving my post as it was, but today am just adding that as of a number of months ago I no longer support or am a part of Open Life. I have lived and learned.

Aww crap! I forgot to back up my invo!




























*disclaimer.. the above was a joke. I have never had nor would have affiliations with a grid that allowed that sort of thing. Unless it involved young livestock and/or clothespins.

that again was a joke..
