I think....that unicorn love is a beautiful thing, and that if you find a spicy sexy unicorn stud muffin and want to let him fill you with his magical glittering seed, that is just fantastic. Probably NSFW.
When someone asks me why I think Second Life is so stupid, I normally just shrug and say "cos". Figure it'd take too long to get into a discussion on the matter. Now, though, I can just point to this,...

How can unicorn sex not directly involve the horn? Shouldn't that be the damn point? I mean, if you are not going to utilize the horn early and often, then just go out and have sex with a horse like everyone else.

I would pretend to be interested except for the overwhelming stench of Pepsi Blue about this "story". The fpp wouldn't be here if it hadn't already been on boingboing, and it wouldn't have been on boingboing if there wasn't some kind of contractual "cash for links" relationship between Linden Labs and boingboing.

I don't think Linden Labs want this particular story circulating widely. They always present SL as some sort of virtual utopia, instead of the pit of stupidity and degeneracy that it actually is.

No, I might have posted it, and I found out about it from Kotaku, which certainly has no love for (nor cash relationship with) Linden Labs. Unless you have some sort of concrete evidence that nebulawindphone got this from boingboing, you may as well be blaming it on Al Gore, because people make jokes about Al Gore inventing the internet, and Second Life is on the internet, therefore it's Al Gore's fault.

bugbread I agree I'm unfairly speculating on nebulawindphone's sources. However I don't believe this story emerged out of the slime of SL without a fat push from Linden Labs' PR. None of the components of the story are new or newsworthy and yet it's getting widespread exposure.

You know, believe it or not, at one time it was a pretty interesting place, filled with highly intelligent people, doing very interesting stuff. One guy actually did a perfect reimplementation of Settlers of Catan in the Second Life scripting language, which is the nearest thing to pure witchcraft I can think of.
You could approach anyone, anywhere, and essentially be assured of an interesting conversation. It was like picking random MeFite posters; not every one was a paragon, but hardly any were boring. There were 10 or 12 'events' a day, but they were all good. Trivia, in many forms, was a real mainstay.. particularly the brain-bending stuff. There was so little happening that people actually were careful not to schedule when other people were doing something... if there was an event at 7, you'd move to, say, 8 instead. I'd guess there were no more than a few thousand active participants, and their relative coolness factor exceeded that of any online group I've ever seen. There were actually early meetings of 'how do we maintain the culture of SL with this deluge of new people?' which, in retrospect, was hopelessly naive.
That original great set of users were drowned out by a sea of mediocrity. There are still fascinating, intelligent people showing up, but they're just drops in the ocean, and are often put off the system before ever finding anything they even remotely like. There are hundreds of events each day, and 99.999% of them are worthless garbage. ("SALE ON MY CRAP!") And then the servers barely freaking work; it's unusual to log in and have all the designed functionality actually present at any given time. If you're tempted to ask, "Is X broken for you too?", don't even bother, because it is.
I still drop by for my once-weekly event, but that's the only thing I do there. That's still fun because the people are great, but it's a tiny island of relative sanity in a rather messed-up place. I'm sure there are other little islands of cool people, but, god, finding them is difficult these days.
All that said, I really don't get the furry hate. It's like no social group, even online, can exist without some other group to despise. Give it a break, people.

So, basically, some perv wrote a room where avs are visibly sexually assaulted* and one of the assaulting figs can "impregnate" avs so that they can produce proof that they're down with the concept as long as they get something out of it.
Disgusting.
*their word was a bit more blunt, but they also seem to be titillated by it, so I'll use the phrase that makes the point that needs to be made; I think Xeni Jardin's gleeful twittering over having been "raped by a unicorn" pretty much tells me anything I need to know about those going for the gold, as it were.

This is obviously consensual. Gross, but hey: their life, their problem. Just because they call it rape doesn't make it rape. They can obviously choose not to participate.
People make wry comments, which in many cases are accurate, about SLers getting confused about the difference between reality and fantasy. I've seen that myself, so I can't really argue. But your comment strikes me as equally confused, just from a different angle.

"Calling whatever this is "rape" pretty much devalues the importance of the real word rape, which is arguably despicable in it's own right."
Agreed, although that's what a lot of people who are going through with this weird thing are calling it, which is why I specifically used "sexual assault". I don't think they understand that there is no playful form of rape. There's no "hahahaha! rape!" tradition and there really, really shouldn't be.
They either need to call it something else or they're going to keep getting bitchy little comments from those who would really rather not see people trying to come up with a FUNSHINEY rape to share with the world.
It's hard enough for sexual assault to be handled appropriately by communities, the legal system, and individuals. Making plans to go "get raped" implies a certain level of confusion about some very basic terminology used to delineate consensual versus non-consensual.
In short: yeah, I know. I was making the point for those who apparently don't.

Yeah, you should probably work out your own unhappiness issues instead of attacking klangklangston. But realizing you're unhappy is the first step, so, congratulations.

You see? This is why unicorn rape fantasies are wrong. It comes out and next thing you know everyone's at each other's throats.

Do you, by any chance, rape women when they ask you to?

That pimple on your forehead? Yeah, you might want to get that looked at.

Also, am I wrong to note that when SL fashionistas demanding the cutest animal-accessories must submit to metaphorical sexual assault to get them is proof that SL is a great place for performance art (if nothing else)?

Look on the bright side: maybe they don't mean that you ass-fuck Second Life dweebs but do mean that you're a narcissistic, paranoid, self-styled radical with delusions of grandeur who murders women. entombs their reeking remains behind the fireplace, and then flees to France!

Sorry. I don't appreciate the trivialization of rape. I've experienced it. It's sickening, not a pop-culture joke to hang a half-informed opinion on.

What I'm trying to get my head around is how unicorns are said to only approach virgins, and yet they commit rapes. The only conclusion I can come up with is that they are virgin-rape sickos, which puts them in the same class of detestable creatures as the gang-raping dolphins, in my books.
I think all those patchouli-stinking hippie-dippie crystal & faerie lovin' types need to wake up & smell the chai.

One of my husband's friends is on SL (way, way to into it, if you ask me -- all she talks about these days). I've told him to ask her the next time they talk if she has a baby unicorn, without telling him why I want to know, so he won't blow it (or freak out) when she gives him the answer. I can't wait to hear her answer. She seems the sort to want one, no matter what she had to do to get it ... which seems just a wee bit sick to me, but to each their own, I guess. At least it keeps some of these folks off the streets and out of my life.

I was here before that note; I'm grandfathered in. You can ask about it in MeTa if you don't believe me.
