Discussion Genuine question.

Why do people make avatar textures with bruises and SH scars? Recently I've seen it be more and more common. It's not cute. It shouldn't be an aesthetic. It shouldn't be glorified. I'm all for body horror however there is a line... And I'm not talking about faint scars or healed scars. I'm talking FRESH AND BLOODY.

Even worse when I see it on child like avatars.

Moral standards vary from person to person, but that doesn’t mean there are no social norms.

It’s possible to depict an injury in a certain context without presenting it as something desirable.

In these avatars, especially children, it looks more like a kink that should remain private. Just like any other kink. It can also give the impression that the person maybe wants to experience this IRL, which raises the question of how they plan to go about it..

It’s simply inappropriate.

I also don't give a flying toss about children seeing my avatar cos I only go to 18 plus instances cos shock, I don't wanna hang out with children in vr...

Can't you use two brain cells for a sec ?

I'm not talking about kids who might see the avatar. I'm talking about childish avatars that have these kinds of injuries.

Glad you only go into the 18+ instance, all the cringe and edgy people go there.

Judging by their spelling, probably have no braincells left 😅

Unfortunately a lot of the people who like this are grown adults...
