Reader Submitted: Collection of Places That Restrict Furry Avatars

If you go about in a furry avatar full-time in Second Life, most clubs and other places will welcome you as long as you behave (especially if you tip). But there are a few that give you the equivalent of the bouncer at the door and tell you to leave because of your appearance. Sometimes the place is a historic RP area that won't make allowances for people wearing an observer tag, saying they want to preserve the period atmosphere, and won't allow humans not in dress code either. And then there's the club that gives no reason at all. Lia (Female Winslet) has been gathering a list of such places.

Furry Discrimination

Second Life allows one to appear more or less what they want to look like, either able to make the avatar ourselves or more commonly purchasing it from a builder. One would think as long as one kept their privates under clothing, all would be well. But that's not necessarily the case. There are a few roleplay sims that insist on visitors resembling the people of the period, which don't get many complaints from nonhumans as humans get the boot too if they don't change outfits. But what really gets people irritated are the handful of places that kick out furries and other nonhuman avatars for no good reason. Grease Coakes had the misfortune to run into one recently.
