Second Life has a clause in the TOS that allows it to prohibit any behavior that is “broadly offensive.” Also, it appears that bestiality is occurring in Second Life. If bestiality isn’t perverted then (in my book) nothing is. From the Second Life Herald:

Where do I find animals in Second Life who want to play animals… and play with me as I am?

The answer to that is, of course, everywhere one looks in Second Life. As the Lindens look to clean up the “broadly offensive” behavior that has been allowed to grow and develop unchecked since 2003, one of the many questions that will surely be raised involves the line between Furries and bestiality.

Most Furries in Second Life have adopted the classic “anthropomorphic” animal, like a cartoon animal. The Lindens even offer such an avatar as one of the basic shapes you can choose when you are born in Second Life. If one uses such an avatar, and one has sexual congress with another avatar, either human or furry, is that bestiality?

Where will the community draw the line with regard to “broadly offensive”? Will dildos, sexgen beds and Furries soon be a thing of the past?

We’re pretty open-minded at Independent Sources but we think this is a pretty easy line to draw.

Update: Testosterona has this to say about the subject:

¿Qué pasa aquí? Un personaje cuyo avatar es un zorro humanizado está interactuando con otro personaje cuyo avatar es una rubia, ante la mirada de un avatar moreno (¿habrá cobrado? ¿será la madame?). La verdad, es una imagen para la reflexión.
