Second Life Herald: Trolls Write The Best Trollbait

"Are Furries Doomed?"

The premise of this article is that wearing a furry avatar on Second Life is inherently offensive, Because a) nobody goes to SL for anything but sex, and b) sex with a furry is bestiality.

Please do not respond to this article. Yes, it's total crap. It's obviously total crap. The comments are even more inane than the article itself. But, for the love of Coyote and all his little puppies, don't feed the goddamned trolls!!

I am pissed and annoyed that BoingBoing gave these idiots even the brief line-and-link they did.

Xeni Jardin is the Paris Hilton of the Cyberhipsters. Discuss.

Oops. I should have read that big chunk of red text first. Nice pictures I gotta admit - whatta giveaway!

I just added the blink tag.

I found the commentary from the guy comparing the sort of hatred furrydom is receiving to that of interracial marriages quite interesting. It would be intriguing to find out if it really is that sort of magnitude.

Second Life Herald is the absolute worst expulsion of crap I've ever had the displeasure of reading. Prokofy Neva is a narcissistic dramawhore to dwarf the worst most narcissistic dramawhore furry.

Aye, its best to just ignore the idiots. Even the most level headed reply to their crap just encourages them to keep being idiots. And it doesn't matter what you say, you're still wrong, and they'll keep being pissy about you.

I know a lot of the troll crowd claims furry hate is "just Internet comedy" - but there are some cases where this borders on obsession or even mania, with how upset it seems to make them.

On the other hand, in their 'generally offensive' policy, Linden has created a too broad parameter - a broad criteria for complaint; now all that's needed is a sufficiently or at least apparently large group to take that advantage.

Personally, I find most of the creepy uncanny valley humans of SL to be "generally offensive". And you KNOW they're just there for sex.
