A lot of my girlfriends on Second Life bitch to me about the lack of eligible bachelors on SL. Nice, polite, clean, well-mannered boys with at least 67% of their own teeth are easy to find, as long as you know where to look. Please allow me to introduce the amazingly charismatic and incredibly handsome Rabid Barkley.
I had the chance to speak with Mr. Barkley recently and found out exactly what makes him tick.
1: What exactly do you do on Second Life?
What don’t I do? I mainly spend my time singing glorious renditions of rap songs in an effort to better connect with the furry population and then chastise them for being furries.
2: I know you spend a lot of time helping new residents at Waterhead. What is that like?
It feels good to give back to the community, ya know? I let newbies know: “Hey, this is second life and yes you can become a gorean princess if you believe in yourself.”
3: I have heard talk of you being made a Linden. Is this just rumour or are you not allowed to talk about it?
This is so true. After spending most of their time banning me for various things, including wearing a black avatar in a welcome area, they’ve broken and decided to add me to the team.. No seriously though this is just a rumor cause I’m so popular.
4: I know some girls are afraid of going to W-hat. What would you like to tell them to reassure them?
What is to be afraid of? We welcome everyone with open-arms and various lude gestures/sexual innuendo. Call me, ladies. 
5: I have known you quite a while, and one thing that has always been consistent is you talking about “your mama.” What kind of girl do you think your mama would like you to settle down with?
My mom is looking for a jo partner. Must have hairy chest and arms. Someone willing to go outside during a storm and jo into a tornado like in the movie Twister.
6: I know this is a sensitive topic, and I am not sure if it is gossip or not, but in the past you have been linked to such SL “celebrities” like Callie Cline and ex-Miss Sl Universe Babyhoney Bailey. Do you still keep in touch?
If by keep in touch you mean spread various rumors involved herpes and copious amounts of mayonaise, sure!
7: How do you cope with the daily attention you get from women? do you think it’s possible for someone to just be TOO good looking?
I battle this problem everyday and yes, I am TOO good looking for my own good heh *flexes lateral deltoids*
8: Where do you see yourself five years from now?
In five years time I can see myself battling a sith wookie on the ever popular Star Trek MMO, alongside my jedi padawan Meat Carver.
9: What are your greatest attributes?
My elbows.
10: Just who IS Rabid Barkley? What are your dreams?
We had to pause for a moment to give Rabid time to collect himself.
You know this is a very beautiful question and I thank you for asking it. Who am I? I’m the black goku. Need I say more?
So there you have it girls. Sure, he may not be 7’4 in SL, with his shoulder sliders maxed out, but I do know Rabid wears 100% AUTHENTIC Second Life bling and has recently started creating autotune gestures using his own voice singing songs about himself. What more could you want? So please ladies, contact Rabid and arrange a romantic walk on a virtual beach or a private virtual dinner including virtual prim candles.
This will be a monthly feature presented from me introducing you to the lovely men of W-hat. or gorean guys. Or furries.
That's sexy when he works it on out in that video. I'm sold. I'll be sending all my female friends his way.
now i am sad to not be slsingle WHY DIDNT YOU WRITE THIS 6 MONTHS AGO
L O L. That video is the most hilarious thing I've seen in all of today.
LOL to funny. I like his little dance too.
Rabid's band : "The Black Goku Experience" coming to a sim near you.
Rabid Barkley is my hero, however, the person who wrote the questions needs something better to do with their life than get other people to do their dirty work.
Forgive her, this one time. You'd be hard put too if put to the task of interviewing someone as great as I. In closing, please send me all your linden dollars to further fund my black goku exploits.
Rachel Breakers Duck is Fantastic in that photo, I mean, you look good Rabid, but LOOK AT THAT FINE PIECE OF ART WORK. That's TRUE TALENT IF I've EVER SEEN IT!
Sometimes I wonder if I should be arrested for being far too sexy.
You Should Be Arrested for being too black for Second Life
yeah wats wit the odd complexion?
Mmmhmmm. Like a chocolate rap machine.
Sometimes at night I cry thinking of all the missed chances, nay, missed nude women.. I weep as I furiously slam down a bookcase filled with animes
its hard to find a decent guy who doesn't mind a sl girl who uses a voice modulator on the microphone.
WHAT A MOVER! You can fairly put it down Rabid.
In all my years in SL, I have done lots of research and I've come to the conclusion that the majority of people who have the deliberately quirky avs / mutant avs and unusual avs are RL attractive, funny, creative and clever.
I'm a bit scared of W-hat, last time I was there with Olivia we kept getting ejected for saying a 'wrong' word, but we didn't know what it was. We did quite enjoy the challenge though and kept going back for more until we got bored. I'd deffo recommend a visit!
"In all my years in SL, I have done lots of research and I've come to the conclusion that the majority of people who have the deliberately quirky avs / mutant avs and unusual avs are RL attractive, funny, creative and clever."
This is the truest thing I have ever read!
Woaaah, Rabid – you moving up in the world bro! Kudos and all that jazz!
Those. Lips. NEED. Kissing
One of my best sl-memories was when I had a place at Pleasantville. Some of you may remember it was set up as an actual neighborhood with sidewalks. For SOME reason, that day Rabid and Wilson were door-to-door salesmen and they would knock on doors and ask if they could come in and give some long spiel about whatever "product" they were selling and say that it cost $2L. After we paid them they would say "OH no! They are on to us! Run!" and both would hurry and leave, only to return two minutes later with a different av head on selling a different product. They even had briefcases. Bakers, who co-owned the sim, messaged me and was like "Some residents are scared because your black midget friend and his weird partner are asking them if they want to buy things" and I was like "Umm, That is Rabid Barkley and he is playing RP salesman, he doesn't actually have any shamwows to sell so they may not expect anything if they give him money…." It was SL vaudeville at its finest. Whenever he comes to The Hotel Dare he follows people are around and I always get at least one IM saying “I really like that one guy with the weird av…”
maybe Rabid has a big dick in real life?
I work out.
what type of girls do you like Rabid?
The ones who know a woman's place, in the kitchen makin me muh porkchops.
I think rabid needs his own advice column on SCD, like a Dear Abby sort of thing.. Dear Rabid.
yeah i would read that, but i don't think any of the hardcore 'fashionistas' would enjoy it.
Why wouldn't people like Rabid getting his own column? Are they racist? Is this a racist website?
SL users just arent used to seeing darker skinned avatars. They prefer to see a beautiful caucasian girl instead, thats why this blog is written by 70% women avatars.
So that means that second life users are, in fact, usually racists. or furries. Or sometimes both.
I wouldnt say that SL users are racist, they just don't think a dark skin is, shall we say, 'aesthetically pleasing to the eye' as a pale skin. Also, as most SL users are obsessed with 'status', being dark skinned in SL is considered 'low status' while being a beautiful caucasian blonde model is considered as 'high status'.
Rabid and his behavior does nothing to create a good image for blacks. He causes more racism with his words and actions. He does nothing but hurt our image as black residents.
All black residents of SL that I knwo, and one black community of over 100 residents, have all banned Rabid from their land, and place of business. We believe Rabid is not a black man at all, but rather a bigot, playing a black man, to make us all look bad.
I hope Rabid got what he wanted. He got lot’s of attention now!

Rabid brings all of us who are black residents shame. He feeds all of the racists beliefs, and makes all of us look bad.
Rabid Barkley gets credit for the racism that still exists in SL.
I have known the man Rabido Barkley-san for over 8 months. When I first met him I was stricken by his indomitable spirit and beauteous blond hair. Since that day, I have had the greatest pleasure of calling him my friend. Many a weekend has been spent, out on adventures with the globe-trotting adventurer (in fact, Rabid Barkley IS a member of the aclaimed "Globetrotters" basketball team). And while some may be intimidated by the only black man on SL, I tell you this: he has the heart of a lion and the gentleness of a lamb. Also, he sometimes roleplays as a friendly giraffe, helping shy furries to make friends and cast off their self-imposed exiles from society. So you know, if your into that, he'll do it. He'll totally do it.
Funny that picture in the middle!
Rabid Barkley and his friends, on March 27th, came to a location in SL, where there was a Memorial Service in progress, for a resident in the RL hospital, who just lost his service dog. As we remembered this residents dog, Rabid placed pornographic pictures of dogs with women on our memorial wall, before he and his friends disrupted the service attended by 30 people ( 2 LL employees present). We have had 3 meetings with Linden Labs, t determine appropriate sanctions for these residents who so blatantly disrespected a real sensitive time for our hospitalized friend who just lost his assistive K9 companion.
This disruption was filmed (the graphic parts left out- but sent to Linden Labs). To see the level of respect for humanity held by Rabid, check out:

Please don’t forget to read Rabids mature (haha) comments which he left on this Youtube presentation, showing his lack of conscience.
While you view the video, listen to Rabids comments. His comments about being a black man would insult and alienate him from black society. I know- I am a proud black man, and Rabid makes me ashamed to have him classified as part of my black heritage!
