One of the reasons I think Gor is so popular has little to do with SL. Gor speaks to us about something primative, something dark inside all of us. The Gorean novels ARE BADLY written and although they do have some glimmer of a detailed world ripe for RP, it's the philsophy behind them that matters. Not that "all woman are slaves" or that "males are better" but in the fact that it speaks to something deep, dark and hidden inside each of us. Something we know is true but may not want to admit. That is way Gor is so popular.
