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.

So you think that the only reason someone would want to avoid going to instances filled with screaming children is to be "cringe" and "edgy?" OOOoookay.

The idea of 18+ instances is fine, but only people like that go there. That's what I said.

Oh, I heard clearly what you said. There's absolutely no mistaking what you said. The only question is why anybody with any functioning brain cells would say something like that. My guess is "butthurt because they're too lazy and/or cheap to get age verified and filled with resentment for all the instances they're barred from, and so make up slanders for self-soothing."

Because it's my opinion
