Well, I have been on many websites that involve an avatar and a chat room...
IMVU, Gaia... but this one is on the creepy level for me when it comes to MMO
chat. Second Life is an MMO, where you can create an avatar, cool, you can hunt
monsters, great, you can chat with people all over the world, awesome, but you
can also get Paid to be some ones 5 year old child?? Taking role playing to a
whole other level, i created an account on the wishes of a cousin of mine. and
while i was going thru the difficult process of creating my avatar, im told i
must look good if i want to be hired... yes you can hold a job on this site. As
i sit there on the virtual couch, i watch as this "little girl" being controlled
by an adult (and i know this because Second Life is age restricted) biting other
avatars, acting childish, and being scolded for doing wrong.... where the hell
is the "creepy" line set for in this crap. As i looked into it you can role play
anything from buying a hooker and having sex with her, to doing time in a
prison, and something i just recently found out... your avitar and get pregnate, carry the child full term, as in a full nine months, and if you dont care for yourself right you can have complications in pregnacy... WTF is that... This game, correctly titled, IS a second life for most of these die
hard players. I am also informed it is improper edict to talk about your "FL"
(First Life, a.k.a. your living breathing, reality life) in second life, that
its better to keep it separate... can anyone else smell a psychotic break or
meltdown in the making?? i enjoy the humor and i enjoy the conversation... but
please beat me in the head with a pipe if i ever THINK about treating this
"Second Life" as a real situation. This is just outrageous. God help those
stuck, and sucked into this virtual world...
