It is so unfortunate that the very things that a person wants from a fantasy world are rapidly becoming extinct.

In the "real world," gambling, unprotected sex with as many strangers as you can manage, enjoying hours in a strip clubs and casinos, spending money like a drunken sailor, all the things that really aren't appropriate to practice in real life. People need and want a way to safely experience their fantasies.

So? What's the alternative? Why, it's Second Life, of course. Second Life's appeal was the very things that are now rapidly becoming illegal there due to unreasoning influence of "real life" prudes and killjoys.

Whose business is it if a happy married man wants to cavort as a hot blonde prostitute, or that slinky little cat person? Sex with an anthromorphic male tiger? Sure. Want virutal sex with pixels that look underage? Well, why not. It's only pixels. Would you rather a person tries it for real or whacks off to pixels? Whips and chains more your thing, but you don't want to deal with the neighbor's questioning stares after a weekend of whipping those five strangers you picked up in a dance club? Second life, my friend.

That was the draw. Second Life was the place to play out all those crazy, extreme fantasies. A place where you could join a band of space mercenaries or live a quiet life with a spouse in land where all your neighbors are animal people? Want red hair? Change it. Want to be taller? Go ahead and make yourself tall. Anything you want.

So now the casinos are gone. And with them many excellent dance clubs, strip clubs, and bordellos. Places where you could go and enjoy the vicarious life of a creation of your mind.

Second Life cracks down on and bans the things that people want to experience in a safe fantasy world where they needn't take any responsibility for things that would earn them scorn and prison time in the real world. Heaven forbid someone should want to act out a fantasy someplace where there are no repercussions, no injuries, no deaths, no damage.

To all of you who enjoyed your time there with me ant the rest being a bunch of crazy thrill seekers, I salute you.

To those who would make thought and fantasy illegal at the pixel level? I hope your insides rot and drip down your leg.
