Wait!....What?

 I feel myself getting more and more confident within myself for each day that passes. I am finding myself getting out of my house more in second life and actually doing stuff again. So a couple of days ago, I decided to be a little Adventurous by writing in a group, asking for new people to meet and be friends with.

So without thinking about it, I wrote the message, and I sent it out to God knows how many people are in second life because this group is quite significant.

I would say that within about 30 to 40 minutes, I had people writing to me. I didn't expect much, to be honest, because this group is known for having a lot of Newbies. Newbies is a term that People in second life use 2 identify a person that is not looking like she or he is in 2021 but more like 2008-2009. In other words, basic skin, walks like a duck, uses this prim hair, and so on and so forth.



For you to better understand what a newbie is, I will show you a photo.



I went on a deep dive into my second life closet (inventory) to not offend anyone else, so yes, this is my back in 2010 -2011. As you can see, I must admit this is not the proudest moment of my second life. So yes, this is what we in second life consider a newbie.

Believe it or not, there are still people that look like this in their 2021 second life.

Most people call them kevin's, basically somebody who has made an account, and they go around asking people to give them lindens, which is the currency used in second life. They will use the same type of message two a bunch of people just to get the lindens and scam people.

But of course, not everybody is a scammer or a beggar in second life, but they still look like the photos above.



I mean to each their own if they want to look like that, fine by me, but you won't get very far, at least not with me when you look like that.

This man started to chat with me, and I would say after 20 minutes, you wanted to meet me in person in second life. I wasn't that keen on it, but I agreed. Unfortunately, I can't tell you the person's name because that's against SecondLife rules, but nevertheless, I dropped down from teleporting.

and I voiced, so he started to voice as well

the first thing out of his mouth was, "Wow, I didn't realize how short you were, and I didn't realize how chubby you were"

My response was, well, this is me. Then he says," well, why don't you make a fantasy woman that's really tall and slender?

"because when you and I have sex, the animations in second life won't look right."

"I am not this tall in real life, and I'm actually really short," he continued,

"and I don't look like this because second life is a fantasy world" when I heard this.

in my head, I was going, "Lord have mercy, I hope to God you don't look like this in real life."

He bombarded me with how I should look, how tall I should be, how slender I should be.

This continued for about 15 minutes or so until I said, "look, you don't have to like the way I look, this is.me, I will never change, so you can stop trying to tell me what you don't like about me."



He became very quiet. I don't think he counted on me saying that to him. I said goodbye to him, and I dropped the call and went back home. Still a little bit shocked over what I had just heard.



I quickly let it go because I realized he was basically stupid.

a couple of hours after that, I went to my favorite spa in second life called breathe spa and bathhouse

There are usually many people there but not a lot of talking in local chests, unfortunately.



I started talking to this guy. He seemed very friendly but also weird in a way. from his profile, I could see that he and I had very similar interests when it came to real life, so I started talking to him about that when he suddenly says "oh, so you're not a hobbit?"

I kinda laughed in asked him, "why I would be a Hobbit?"

He responded by saying, "because of your similar size and proportions."



I didn't respond to him after that because I was so flabbergasted over what he had just told me.

I am a plus-size woman in second life, and I am a plus-size woman in real life. I don't hide behind anything, as you probably can tell by this whole blog.

I want the way I look in second life to reflect what I look like in real life! Why is that so hard for people to understand? I don't want to be slender, and I don't want to be the human version of a 2X4.

Most people say that second life is a fantasy world and nothing more, but why are we so fixated on "the perfect look" if it's not more than just a fantasy world?



I have repeated this time and time, and I will continue to say this until people understand.

To me, second life it's not a fantasy world, and it is virtual reality. Second life will never ever be a game, and to me, it is a virtual reality.



This means I will look exactly how I want to look, I will be as tall with short as I want to be, and I will be as plus-size as I ever want to be if you don't like that, well go look for someone else.

If second life is "just a game," Why are you freaking out over how an avatar looks? It shouldn't matter to you then, should it? Second life is more than "just a game" That's the whole point.
