Strong Content Warning: This article discusses child abuse and contains blurred explicit images.
Second Life users are in a frenzy over this article, published on Sunday, which details how a key member of parent company Linden Lab was participating in virtual sex content containing child avatars. Patch Linden, AKA Eric Nix, his husband, and several other high level members of Linden Lab staff are accused of enabling child abuse content to flourish in their privately owned virtual residences, ignoring explicit content involving virtual children, and creating a deeply toxic working environment at the company.
What a terrible take. The same way that violent video games promote violence and is harmful to children?
No children are involved
There is 0 evidence of this, and some evidence to the contrary. Having an outlet that involves 0 victims is beneficial. But even still, there are people that are into this that have 0 interest in actual children. Because it’s just a fantasy, the same way that people have rape fantasies.
