Linden Lab Discriminates against Snails

by Happy Trails, Snail Activist

Frankchptr2

Now I'm not one to complain, but this is about as much as I can stand. 

Linden Lab does not cater to snails; there are no snail sims, there are no snail clothing stores, very few snail skin makers, and no snail sex ball makers.  There is one lousy snail animation that came with my avi, and that's it!  How can I entwine in slime with my righteous babe-snail?

And when is the last time you saw a snail apartment building in SL?  Shouldn't snails have a right to affordable housing just like everyone else?

Ok, I don't mean to be tacky, but this whole virtual world thing is one sticky wicket.  I'm making a line in the sand and I dare anyone to step over it.  Give me liberty or give me salt!

LOL

Linden Lab discriminates against everyone, not just invertibrate avatars.

Corona Anatine

Linden Lab does not appear to discriminate against those who can't spell 'invertebrate'

Pappy Enoch

Hillbillies feel yo' pain. They don't cater tu us, neither.

I'd be frends wif more snails but whenever I has 'em ovur they drinks the beer till it kills 'em.

Don't git in the salt!

Imagin Illyar

Heh, it really must have been a slow day at the Herald. LL doesn't provide housing, clothing or animations for any of it's residents. Residents do. So what's wrong with the snails in SL? Too lazy to build? You would prefer a socialist SL? Where LL, as the government, would provide everything for you?

Didn't I read this article last year?

Erreh Yue

I demand an apartment building that will only rent to people named Erreh Yue.

Pappy Enoch

Oh, I forgot tu say, Mistophur Trails: look on the brite side o' this sad state o' snail-discrimernashun.
