ORIGINAL: ShiftedJewel Ok, my curiousity got the better of me and I went and checked out Second Life... and now I'm confused. Jewel I was in a graduate class last year with a professor who was addicted to Second Life, so of course he made it a part of the class. We had to go into Second Life and do an ethnography. Well, he has no idea I'm kinky or anything, so I created a furry character and went in search of furry communities, writing an ethnography as someone who knew NOTHING about the furry lifestyle, but "thought" it was a bunch of people role-playing as stuffed animals (writing the whole thing in an innocent, kiddie seeing the world for the first time). My best friend, who had created a female furry character so she could pal around with me, was in on the whole thing, and when the two of us turned in our papers at the end of the semester, it was SO obvious that the professor realized we had integrated ourselves into a bdsm/furry community and were reporting as if it was an innocent group of people who liked to pretend to be stuffed animals. We even included the sex lingo in an innocent way, so when he read it there would be no doubt on his mind what the "furry people" were saying to us, even though we didn't "understand". We both received A's for our papers, and our entire department, minus the professor himself, had the biggest laugh ever because EVERYONE knew I was massively into a kinky lifestyle.
