I don't know enough about SL to know whether that is likely.<BR/><BR/>With respect to bestiality and consent, some of the commenters seemed to be saying that if you have sex with digital unicorns you might be more likely to have sex with, say, a real life dog. Or something. That sick behavior on SL indicated, encouraged, sick behavior in RL. As far as I know we lack any good evidence. But I don't know much.Noko Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04384279666473945934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392162987997980937.post-89483372086287885282007-09-11T08:02:00.000-07:002007-09-11T08:02:00.000-07:00I thought the whole "rape" discussion is interesti...I thought the whole "rape" discussion is interesting there. I mean, I understand that these statutes seemingly grab you if you stand too close, so there's a coercion element, but it seems as though the avatars are choosing to position themselves accordingly and have sex with the unicorns. Making it only rape in a rape-fantasy kind of way, I would think.<BR/><BR/>But are the unicorns being raped? I mean, I always thought one of the major issues with bestiality is the impossibility of meaningful animal consent; like very drunk people animals just lack the wherewithal to consent. So does that same issue apply to pixels?Captain Colossalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02713053731307487088noreply@blogger.com
