Most of the time, I stumble through a variety of sex role play sims as a 30-year old, incredibly fit human female avatar. But, at different times, I can be found under other names as a man, an Australian Saltwater Crocodile, and a 70-year old African American Voodoo Queen who carries a succession of pet chickens all named Bernice.
One of the things that I've been noticing is that there's a terrible bias against female avatars in resolving Out Of Character (ooc) differences of opinions.
The reality of most BDSM sims is that there's a ratio of approximately 70% submissives to 30% dominants. This makes the dominants more valuable to the sim owners who tend to be submissives who use other submissive women to act as moderators. Players who are also submissive female characters become competition for this core group who tend to enforce the rules haphazardly by banning competing women for relatively minor infractions while allowing dominant male characters to violate clearly stated sim rules at will.
Additionally, sim owners who tend to be submissive in real life tend to get involved with dominants who wind up taking over the sim and substantially changing the original charter to suit their own desires, leaving a trail of inconsistent and arbitrary bans in their wake.
In the coming weeks, I'll be reviewing some sims I've played in both good and bad.
