I think my friend Jessika put it the best. I've been here since September, so not as long as a lot of people but I feel I've been around long enough to have seen my fair share of things. As a whole the community is pretty good, but there always seem to be very vocal people about the way that they play, and the way they feel others should be forced to play. Nothing is as polar in a society as sex. One person may have a sexual fetish that repulses another. Is it right for the person that finds it repulsive to dictate how the other person should act? Why is one person entitled to their sexual fantasy while the other is not? I remember there being so much vitriol over people editing their bodies with CE to get larger breasts/arms/etc than was currently allowed. I mean people were really upset over this. Why? If someone wants large arms or a large chest (just using the most common examples) why can't they? Does it have a detrimental affect on anyone else? It doesn't, just like gift prostitution has no effect on anyone that doesn't participate in it. I think brothels are a novel idea, and although I don't participate in them, I have friends that do and I don't judge them just because they find something attractive that I don't. I'm not into bondage and dom/sub play but I know a lot of people in the community are, I support all of them and wouldn't for a second want to stop them from acting out their fantasies. The other point I would like to touch on are gifts. Not talking to someone just because the have large number of gifts is only hurting you. You can tell a lot by a person by looking at their gifts. It's quite easy to differentiate a person who received their gifts from sexual conquests or from genuine friends. Realistically the number of gifts is more just a measure of how long you've been around, as just about any person will begin to accrue gifts as they make friends and relationships. I would love to see people just generally be more accepting of others. Understand that people have different sexual fetishes and as small as our community is, we need to be more inclusive as a whole. We're all here together and the more pleasant everyone is, the more likely people will stay and slowly our community will grow.
