As if Second Life wasn’t already mired in deviant sexual behavior.
FLAME ALERT: Second Life users should put on your “thick skin”

Linden Labs has released what many people are calling the next logical step in the evolution of Second Life. Voice Comms. Within certain areas of the SL world, users can now actually talk to each other… something that has been sorely missed amongst the conversations about “child play” and penis-trading.

On the bright side, it’ll be a lot harder… hehe.. heh…um.. oh yeah…. It’ll be a lot harder for Fat Larry to keep up the impression of being Cindy Shoebender “the escort” when he’s gotta try to pass off his baritone voice as a girl’s. Talk about a buzz kill.

If this new freedom is not accompanied by a sharp crackdown by Linden Labs on the types of deviant behavior that SL is notorious for, they’ll be reduced to the likes of all those chat rooms that come up in the top of the list in IRC. (ie: ##_#TeensGoneWild)

What could really be an interesting environment to build and explore, is being trashed by retards, miscreants, pedophiles, and perverts. Now, with microphones, they can annoy and harass the “normal” folks right out of the game. As more and more big companies flock to SL to try to ride the wave of coolness, I hope they’ve done their research and realize that the neighborhood they’re moving into, is the Red Light District of the Internet.
