3DX IS NOT A GAME

[Vanishinthehaze]

3DX is not a game, it is a 3DX chat client, a Social Network. 

There are indeed real people behind the Avi's that you communicate with so take care in what you say , how you treat them, and promises that you make . For some on here, it is a world of fantasy, a place to explore worlds and situations they cannot  or would not in reality. Some people  are just looking for companionship as their real life world is limited by physical constraints . Some use 3DX as a sexual playground. Some are seeking friendship, enjoying the interaction with others with similar interests from far away lands or just around the corner, and some of those friendships make the transition to real life . Others are seeking love, real love , not fake internet love, but someone to join them in their real life. Someone with whom they can spend time, share their dreams, love with all their heart, and with whom they can share a future.

Whatever your reason for being on 3DX , remember every Avi has a real person behind it.

I appreciate you writing this so much.  I've recently been thinking about this topic a lot.  While I don't think I've ever hurt anyone's feelings in 3DX, I've certainly been offended.  How you view the "game" versus "community" perspective, I think has a lot to do with whether you see your avatar as an extension of yourself (and thus bound to the same ethics that you as a person believe in) or just an alter-ego that can do whatever it wants.  Me, personally, I cannot compartmentalize myself that way and I don't like to make up other characters.  I think I'm just fine being myself.  So, yeah - people have feelings when they express emotions through writing or relating, whether we know their real names or not.  Good post.

I can say that yes indeed I stay here myself and that I do not play any particular role. It is more comfortable and it is more honest even if  im often   odds with the others.

Thank you very much for your kind appreciation

We will always remain ourselves through our choices and our thoughts which makes us unique.

Personally, I find it fascinating to be able to be someone else in the game and explore new and different feelings in this way. Even as an “other person”, I feel bound by my ethical principles and try not to hurt anyone and only do everything with consent. I know that other players only want to play themselves and I accept that. At the same time, I want players to accept my way of playing.

Thank you so much for saying that Peggy.  I tend to play the exact same way.  I don't enjoy any kind of non-consensual roleplay (even though of course, it has to be consensual at some level, since we can all just log out).   But I don't enjoy anything that isn't also enjoyable for the other person.  I have had experiences where someone later would say, "I didn't enjoy that." And my reply is, "Well, why didn't you just tell me?  I would have stopped immediately!"  So, yes ... I'm an extension of my own principles here.  I'm not here to really be a whole other person, since I can't seem to occupy a different personality than the one I have.  That's just me, however.

I am just the total opposite here for fantasy not reality.  But not knocking you if you are that's your choice why there are profiles that i take at face value if your just in it for the social thing probably won't ever hear from me in a dm.  Though i have been dm out of nowhere because someone didn't like my profile and berated me, without actually talking to me bit closed minded but hey only ignored one person so far in 10 yrs. So guess in saying this place is a game and i suppose social platform but don't be surprised if you get dm'd for play instead of social interaction. If you do not like what someone is saying or doing during partnering just ding out and leave their ass simple.

i could be wrong but most names i see answering this topic i question the logic like my profile which a play style but not set in stone you get an idea of what i am out here for and yes people behind avatars only a fool doesnt realize that.  But as i said i profile read religiously and my local and pm's gotten less frequent because i respect the ones that state i am playing myself or state the usual real person behind the avatar so i dont  contact to many people.  Guess i am basically stating if you if you dont state your not into rp or your just playing yourself and pop into a room with a questionable theme really got only yourself to blame.
