if you were going to assassinate someone, would you wear the tightest thing possible? Would you expose your breasts to the world, essentially creating a target for a bullet? Probably not.

A LOWER NECKLINE WILL STOP THOSE BULLETS! Also, people who run around killing people are not really, you know, normal. I'd expect them to act different than usual. My cat is a muderous pervert who kills something daily and tries to molest my dogs. And you know what, by looking at him he is the cat version of a mustache twirling villain and doesn't seem right even a little bit.

That line is also particularly stupid because a hot girl or a hot guy that gets you in bed and then murders the fuck out of you when you are pretty much defenseless makes quite a bit of sense, so to the question of "if you were going to assassinate someone, would you wear the tightest thing possible?" the answer of any smart girl would be FUCK YEAH, WITH A NECKLINE THAT GOES DOWN TO MY BELLY AND THE SHORTEST MATCHING HOTPANTS I CAN GET MY PAWS ON.

If anything, the simple fact that wasn't seen by the writer tells more about him than about the issue at hand.

Yep, that's this thread all right. If only lesi would delurk and use a flamethrower on it. Figuratively and literally, have to be thorough.

I don't understand.

I often see women wearing outfits that are nearly as revealing as the ones in the trailer. Breasts hanging out and shorts that just barely (or only partially) cover the buttocks.

If they're not OK with the public looking at their bodies, then why would they wear revealing clothing and display their bodies to the public? If they wanted to conceal their bodies then they could have worn some of the concealing clothing that is widely available.

Someone should design conditioned clothes. It would probably be a hit among the malegazephobic crowd.

I have no problem with those scenes the same way I dont have problem with a lot hollywood action scenes. Artistic licence to twist the inconvenient facts to serve artistic aims.

The whole problem people got with Hitman trailer is because Christians, on the whole, is a easily butthurtable group. And the game devs, unconciously, always want to troll their attentions.

What the fuck are you droning on about? It's the femicunts that complained about the trailers, and it wasn't primarily about the nun outfits that they were complaining about. Stick to sewing cheap Adidas replicas and leave the serious discussions to your betters from now on.

This shit always cracks me up whenever it is brought up on RPS... which seems to be about every single time a female character is wearing something not up to regulations.
It's like they suddenly recognized that sex sells things (and more especially video games) and have decided to be horrified and appalled by it (despite it being a natural thing, quite http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpizkWEmg1gofthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MpizkWEmg1g also happening to men) , initiating a holy war to bring every video game up to American (and apparently British) moral standards and latest achievements in gender studies:

All the while brushing aside most of the other things that are wrong with games nowadays turning them into mass market crap, lowering the difficulty and complexity of design to brain dead, sporting the writing team of a daily soap or at most pulpy romance novel and trying to gouge people till they have to sell their innards to afford the newest thing.

If that was about me, I said I was talking to Grotsnik. *shrug*

The bit about reading on the topic is still kind of amusing, though. If I am seventeen and have managed to, say, get to know guys and girls deeply into that subculture, including many involved in the so called BDSM Schools, just by clubbing and going to parties then older girls and guys should be getting their information on the topic the fun way, there's no excuse.

And it's a waste of a perfectly fine bit of curiosity if not.

I was talking about anyone who doesnt have a brain capacity to read and understand the full post of mine but only one sentence.
and those who snigger at reading as a form of education.

grotsink included of course, since he was trying to reference my post.

now, im off to my verily justly deserved beauty nap

BDSM schools? The fuck. Please stop posting in adult threads.

At least here were I live that's the name underground clubs managed by ex-prostitutes and similar people who more or less introduce people to the world of SM first by teaching them the way of a good slave and then teaching them the tools and the techniques to satisfy their masters, other slaves, and themselves if they show promise receive, when talked about in civilized circles. It's kind of decadent in an endearing way: They are basically masters who get a constant flow of new and still innocent slaves to play with, in exchange of teaching them how to play with each other without getting killed along the way. My lulzy side just hopes they call their monthly orgies "examinations." That would kill me.

Maybe they are called a different way where you live. *shrug*

The point still remains: If I, a seventeen years old, can get a couple dozens of contacts in that scene just by going to parties and clubbing then you big mature guys and girls should not be getting taught this little modern art by means of book but practice. This is one of the cases where book learning is not good learning. @_@

BDSM schools? The fuck.

I found this when I googled "BDSM school"

https://sites.google.com/a/darksideclubhouse.com/ds-clubhouse-services/academy
Before launching our highly respected BDSM training academy we undertook extensive research into other BDSM schools in second life. What we found was disturbing, to say the least. It seemed that most other schools weren't much more than venues for the "trainers" to help themselves to some free kinky sex. We believe that is not training!

The Dark Side BDSM Academy offers genuine slave training, Dominant instruction, couple coaching, and emoting classes. You'll finish your course with the knowledge you need to follow your own path with confidence.
sounds glorious second life, tell me more
* Have you just discovered BDSM and are wondering just what it is and where you fit into it? There is no right or wrong. There are as many ways to live this lifestyle as there are people living it. We can help you find your own personal path.

* Are you interested in learning about the Gorean traditions? We offer slave training, instruction, or coaching in the Gorean lifestyle.

* Would you like your girl or your boy trained by one of our master trainers? You can trust DS Academy trainers to conduct themselves in a professional manner with your most prized possession...your slave.

* Perhaps you have gone through all the information available on the web for novices, or even for those of an intermediate skill level, and it has only left you wanting more? Reading and researching is good. But then there comes a point where you have to learn from a real person...someone who can answer your questions and can guide you in the direction you have chosen.

* Perhaps you've realized you are a Dominant but unsure how to proceed. You have questions on how to handle and treat a slave...how to get the most from a slave...how to treat that slave so that he/she wants to give their best to you. It's a wise person who seeks help. Our training is totally discreet and one-on-one.

* Maybe you're a Master / Mistress & slave wishing to do everything possible to enrich your relationship. Joining a Dark Side couples course shows genuine commitment and will bring you even closer, by going through a coaching program together.

* Or are you a slave wanting to make yourself more valuable before you auction yourself off to the highest bidder?

* Is emoting out of your comfort zone? We can help you gain self confidence in expressing yourself through descriptive and detailed emoting.

what was that about slaves

SELLING YOURSELF

We've found that the highest bids are from buyers who already know the slave they're bidding on. During the days leading up to the auction, you need to campaign for yourself. Let people know you're going to be auctioned. Ask us for your slave card so you can hand it out to potential buyers. Also, we have a cage in the clubhouse. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO SPEND SOME TIME THERE SO POTENTIAL BUYERS CAN DROP IN AND CHECK YOU OUT. YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR PART TO PROMOTE YOURSELF. We can promote you heavily, but the buyers like to see you face to face and talk to you and get a feel for who you are. Nothing we can do can serve as a substitue for that. Simply ask one of the dancers to send a Notice out to the main group announcing that you're there for viewing. This will go a long way in bringing a good sale price. It's one thing for the buyers to read your information, but nothing can take the place of actually seeing you and interacting with you.

Wedding planners are all well and good but when it comes to taking submissive vows or collaring a slave, they tend to bolt on a ceremony without much thought or care for the D/s lifestyle.

Far better to place your ceremony arrangements in the hands of experts with years of rich D/s lifestyle experience.

DS Clubhouse Collaring services can offer you a range of ceremonies and facilities to suit your requirements or kinks.

Quite simply we live the life and so we understand the intricacies and importance of individuality. Each and every ceremony we organize is truly unique and as individual as you.

To help you plan for your big day we have prepared a useful catalogue that explains how and what we do and more importantly what we can do to help you make your collaring day full of precious memories.

Second Life sounds more and more like a magical realm built and inhabited by everyone's Jungian Shadows. :?

Maybe I should visit it some time, my curiosity about them is only matched by the revulsion they produce on me. They are kind of fascinating, in a weird and ewww way.

The whole fucking reason this instead of every game out there with sexy female outfits become the focus of very loud argument is the fucking NUN clothes for fuck's sake.

Straw posting, selective quote snipping, deflection from points, you argued like a Mastermind... oh wait...
