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.

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.
