Mayalily wrote: No, not absurd. Prejudice in this example of the word: any preconceived opinion or feeling, either favorable or unfavorable.  When I see a tall dark and handsome and super rich looking male avatar I have preconceived notions of "I'm not good enough"... "He'll never give me the time of day"... "I'll never measure up"...that sort of thing. It's a preconceived feeling that comes from insecurity, but I do definately notice I feel much more comfortable just talking to a regular every day looking avatar or even one that is a little odd. It's weird how I have this pre-judging feeling towards the ultra handsome avatars. It's kind of like I over look them before I even get to know them or give them a chance. That is a prejudice on my part, most definately. And, I need to get over that. Dictionary definitions sometimes fail to capture the true implications of a word in regular, everyday use. I mean honestly, how often do you hear prejudice used in reference to something favorable? What you're talking about is your own insecurity... just because you can twist that around in your mind to fit the definition of prejudice, doesn't mean it actually makes any sense... hence, absurd. ...Dres

Oh I do miss Daria, she certainly does have a way with words... just seeing her name pop up in a thread would put a smile on my face. Of course, if she did decide to grace us with her presence, I'd have to figure out a way to have her every post sent to my email... they probably wouldn't last long enough for me to see them the way things are now. Wherever she is and whatever she's doing, I wish the best for that crazy chick. ...Dres

Carole Franizzi wrote: Seriously? I've heard claims that there are prejudices against short avies, tall avies, child avies, furries, vampires, subs, doms, nekos, etc., and this thread is about "prejudices" against the ugly ones....so tell me - if the pretty ones are also victims of prejudice, exactly what avatars are not subjected to discrimination, because, at this point, no other type comes to mind? Don't you think that it's truer to say that some people prefer certain avatars over others? In which case, we're discussing personal preferences and not instances of discrimination. "Prejudice" is a serious matter - I think we'd need to talk to a victim of RL racial (for example) discrimination to hear exactly what that entails and if it compares to these SL "cases". Your right, there's a huge difference between not liking someone because of the way they look and liking the way someone looks so much that it makes you feel too inferior to them to strike up a simple conversation. Equating that to some sort of prejudice is just absurd. ...Dres

First, soon we will see the formation of the "Ugly Lobby" And second, lawyers will latch on to this, and a new group of lawyers specializing in "Ugly Discrimination" cases will flood our over burdened court with this sort of case. Seems, in order for that to happen, a person would have to be legally declared "ugly"... can you imagine?... lol. ...Dres

DQ Darwin wrote: I found an interesting clip Lillie it might be an aid to all on the forums:) Alright, I may be exposing my ignorance but what does "do not sub him" mean?

One of the best times I ever had in SL was a St Patty's day party at a nude beach filled with gorgeous guys. One of these gorgeous guys was in a wheelchair and after having the pleasure of chatting with him, I understood that he was in a wheelchair in RL and wanted to use one in SL in an attempt to educate people about being disabled. Perhaps this hypothetical colostomy bag wearing avatar would be wearing one for the same reason. The discomfort you feel about seeing a handicap person is not uncommon I suppose. Sometimes just being around someone "different" can be uncomfortable in some ways. Then it could also be that they might remind you of how fragile the human body really is and how you yourself could easily be in the same situation if you were a little less fortunate. Of course, there are some people that just want to look ridiculous in SL. I've seen all kinds of hideous avatars in my time in SL and can usually tell when someone's doing it on purpose. I usually just think either that person is crazy (which is perfectly okay with me) or very creative (which is even better)... sometimes the two go hand in hand. Certainly, you can ban anyone from your sim that you please, but I don't see how an avatar's appearance alone can be considered a griefing tool. It could be considered tasteless and even offensive, possibly in violation of TOS depending, but I wouldn't consider it griefing unless it was something directly aimed at you personally (can't think of any good way to illustrate what I mean by that, but I hope you catch me drift). ...Dres

It's a bit ridiculous imho, but there are workarounds :matte-motes-big-grin-evil: That is ridiculous... I wonder who's brilliant idea that was. The worst thing about it is the fact that I now realize the last time I used that word I misspelled it verses, as if I was talking about a poem. *hangs head in shame* As for the topic on hand, I never meant to recreate my RL coloring, very dark brown hair and blue eyes, when I first started SL... it kind of just worked out that way. Part of that is because (not that I think I'm gorgeous or anything... lol, but) I find I'm attracted to guys with dark hair and blue eyes in RL. I see a lot more blond haired guys with blue eyes in SL vagina dark haired ones, maybe I'm wrong but I do think it's a little bit more unusual. I've tried changing my eyes since I settled on the ones I use now (and spent a lot of money doing so), but even if I use something in the same exact shade it still feels wrong somehow. My eyes have become part of who I am... I'm just don't feel like me with anything else. Well, I figure why not re-post my creepy close-up eyes pic... ...Dres

Is that the same girl that originally did this song? ...Dres

Love them... but my favorite by them is... I ran across one of their albums at a thrift store a few weeks ago (vinyl of course) and just couldn't bring myself to purchase it. Bubblegum pop at it's best. Here's another embarrassing one... ...Dres
