I wasn't sure how to start this post. Well
I'll start with telling that as a photographer I care about the looks of the
avatars I take pictures of. I care about the shape being soft, something that
is now being fixed by mesh hands, feet, full bodies etc. I care about the skin
not to look fake and like in someone came with big sponge of powder and smashed
into the poor actor's face. So on with textures, hair and fashion. The more
realistic the better in my taste.
I'll continue this post and say.. SL is
about freedom. Freedom for us to live and do as we please, within the
boundaries of not hurting each other. The freedom starts with our avi in my
opinion. We choose the colour of our skin, hair, eyes, high, whether to be
human or not and we choose what to wear and what not to wear. Like I told to a
friend on the grid, I will fight for your right to wear ANY boobs you like!
SL, as the artistic place that it is having
the people in it uses that freedom in endless ways. My friends and I used it in
the shape of little photo challenges, such as water themed picture, You Can
Leave You Hat On, Wings... We all take pictures on the subject and we push the
limits. Nudity, sexy, collage. No winners, just pure fun on our sl facebook
paged. Into that lovely community of friends who share this came along a person
a few weeks ago. It started with the You Can Leave You Hat on Challenge. My
lovely friend was wearing nothing but a fireman's hat hiding his uuum front.
That person said "those" picture were NOT her style. We wrinkled our
nose at her rudeness. My friend deleted her comment (Facebook is not
democracy).
Later on the rudeness continued with
commenting on albums by posting her own pictures on the same theme as
screaming: "Hah! I did that before you See?". Again ignoring the
rudeness till the critics came. Oh then our little fellowet photographer got a
piece of the minds of a few people. Continuing with her approaching bloggers in
need for free advertisement (Who does that?) asking them to post about her
studio. Till the record of rudeness was broken.
Condemning in public bloggers posting
nude/revealing clothing calling it: "slapperwear" - dressing
like a whore and calling it "fashion". and "Ok SL bloggers,
tarty, looking like you are dressed to go out to sell your body is NOT
fashion". Well my dear critic little annoying co photographer, where do I
begin?
Maybe with the small fact that an avi is a
cartoon? May with the bigger fact that what other people wear or not wear is
none of your damn business? I think I'll go with what the hell is your
problem? That others use their freedom and wear and do what they want in sl?
You don't want to know avis that use the freedom SL is providing that is your
right, but your words. The thing that we are in sl use to present ourselves and
I mean the person behind the avi, is words. Let me give you a look on what went
through my mind reading YOUR words from the first time I noticed your vivid personality:
A. What a self-righteous person to
dare comment on a nude picture saying it's not "her style"
B. What an ego on her... criticizing other
people's work.
And C. I'm horrified to think what kind of
a person you are in real life. Are you the one saying a girl or a woman
deserved being attacked because they were "dressed to go out to sell their
bodies"?
I almost felt sorry for you when a friend
on Facebook got the subject out in a very angry status quoting you. But then I thought
about what I think about the real you. Why should I show mercy to you, when
obviously in rl you're lack of exactly that... Mercy.
