    What are some of your pet peeves?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    Some pet peeves, big and small:

     

    - People  putting non unisex stuff in the unisex apparel categories. 🤬(Yes i know they can be reported and they are.)

    - Clothing labeled unisex but  it actually isn't. 

    - Having to sieve through tons of  furry clothing just to get to unisex clothing.

    - when an attachment just flop-flops and clip-clops all over the show when you dance.  meaning you have to stealthy remove and replace.

    -When you get the perfect picture set-up. the lights are great the pose  is A+ AND THEN YOU CRASH. 😱 Meaning you have to set the camera  position all over again..

    - When people use low intelligence/intellectuality as an insult. As someone with learning problems the issue isn't that society is full of idiots, it's that it's full of propganda and  lack of true teaching.

    I think OP knew exactly what they were doing when they said 'I don't think cisgender people can understand this.'

    I don't think that OP or Nemz are marginalized. I don't think marginalized people would talk to others like what I've read. I think that if they were, they would be a lot nicer to others as they would know how it feels to be called out for who they are. I have not witnessed that virtue here.

    I really do think that most people in SL simply do not care about what your identity is. It's never been made into an issue and I've met a lot of people of all kinds of sexualities or lack thereof. I don't think other people are as mean and cruel as they're being made out to be and believe that most people on SL are nice people.

     

    Respect is a two way street. I for one do not  see it as very respectful to instantly dismiss and assume hostility where there is none.

    Cisgender people really don't understand what it's like when people routinely berate and dismiss their identities  routinely.  That's perfectly fine! No single people can experience or  understand every state of existence. Cisgender people also don't have their looking for  [x] threads hijacked with overly dismissive and hurtful language over how they don't  "get it." (unless they're  PoC or LGB+) or  have their experiences as marginalised people  instantly erased because they did not word things in the most soft and non-threatening manner possible.

     

    Sometimes even then they're erased.  This is not ok and I've seen it more then once any time a Trans person tries to connect with people through the fourms.

    and I wouldn't say identity doesn't matter. just looking in this forum, the lifestyle and relationships  the  SL Search or even sim descriptions and titles. Plenty of places where identity plays a  part,

     

    To op: Hey I'm also Nonbinary.  a European one. But I'm willing to chat due to having a case of being someone that doesn't sleep until late at night my time. Expect a poking soon!

    Since becoming open with my Non binary identity and ditching the pixel boobs the  weird ims have dried up allot. Thankfully.But before then I would usually  either ignore or do some light trolling depending on my  mood. Not enough to get my banned. But  enough to give them the picture that their random ass  attemptings at bumping pixel uglies wouldn't work. 🤣

    How are you feeling today?

    Feeling mixed, Yesterday I spent time with the family I made on here and it was great. But the day before and  yesterday had either an overwhelming or undercurrent of anger and  depression over a very... upsetting  situation. A thing I can't really go into detail on the fourms due to my  own principals and the fact that it's such a  public setting.

     

    But I feel like I could explode in rage  and  sorrow over it.

    I can't even go to my usual support spaces due to this pandemic.

    A skin store refuse to have demos?

    I'm wondering if the seller has stolen it from someone else and doesn't want to release demos in case she's discovered.

    I would only buy a skin without a demo if it was around L$100 or less; sadly most of the skins in that price range are stolen.

    That's.. a big possibility. grabs the thinking cap.

    This is part of why "my product my rules no ifs and buts" is a  a very thin line between acceptable and reasonable and utter moon logic.

    Yes one should take measures to ensure their  hard work isn't balently stolen. That's just reasonable considering the hours of labour that went  into them. However if you're not giving  your customers  any chance to truly inspect the item at all.   and act like an ***** about it it?  Uuuh.. maybe take an online class on Retail and business practises before trying to make money via selling gods to the public. maybe? Just a thought from your friendly neighbourhood sales assistant.

    Good effective Demos are a must when it comes to Second life. Especially these days where there's allot  of  competition and  false advertising. People like the one in OP's  example are only hurting themselves by not just having a demo. But actively behaving in an  aggressive manner about it. The Customer has limited funds and there's allot of other skin makers out there, With demos!

    You forgot pants with massive bulges, or underwear with bulges for those men. xD

    Oh lordy, you're right. How did I forget those abominations?

    Edit:

    and my newest pet peeve of the day, my inability to find cute gothic or  ouji styled clothing for my body (V tech/maitreya) that isn't  overly skimpy. (I do like some skimpy but sometimes i just wanna be a cute prince  ok..)

    But most of the selection is mainly for men who want to look feminine, or the ghetto look. That isn't a bad thing, but what men lack is diversity in styles. Not every dude wants to look like they are a thug or have that feminine look.

    Honestly,  allot of the so called femmine stuff isn't all that inspired either. It's less feminine flare and  more a bunch of crop tops. in the exact same style.  Over and over again.

    As someone who wears men, women and all that's in between) Fashion. There's a huge lack of  diversity across the  board. But men's fashion seems to be suffering from it the most.  Yes there are gems out there. But  in comparison to women/feminine fashion.  There's far less variety. SL Creators,  seem to be suffering allot of creative burnout or follow the leader syndrome. Coupled with  mesh and it's difficulty, and few are willing  or able to create for different substyles, even amongst mainstream 2020 rl fashions. 

    and it's kind saddening really.

    Menswear in SL. AGAIN. The new 'collection' at Man Cave has - once more - got me alternating between simmering and despair.

    So much this. So many different styles of menswear.  even in mainstream fashion in  real life. But in Second life.  It's the same  style  of sweatpants,  vest tops and maybe if you're lucky a black suit with a white shirt. 😑

    I'm just so bored.

    I'm feeling lonely. tired and  just so bloody fed up of people  off and online trying to tell me how my Gender is Anti-science/just for attention/insert other falsehood here. I am  tired of being  misgendered, deadnamed and otherwise verbally  torn down all because I dare try to live as myself in peace. Between the lockdown,  the verbal vomits of transphobia and a whole heap of woes. I just can't find the energy to do anything but sleep, eat  and  watch youtube videos while  questioning when did my life become a pile of misery and getting angry at everything.

     

    I just want to find a  place to belong without having to constantly  justify my existence, is that really so wrong?

    Ouji Fashion in SL?

    in Wanted

    Posted

    Hey there folks. While I know masculine fashion tends to be a bit limited in styles. I was wondering if anyone had  any luck finding Ouji/"Prince" Stle fashion in the great big Second life world.  My attempts on the marketplace have been very slim.

     

    For those unaware , Ouji is basically the masculine counterpart to Lolita Fashion. I've included a reference photo right here.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When Did it Become Acceptable to Bring Politic of Hate into SL?

    Think that description's for the trans 'women' who kill themselves after realising they've mutilated their bodies beyond repair, for the sake of some dumb fetish. A sad process enabled by irresponsible cheerleaders like you. 

    Acutally trans suicide is caused by others rejecting our indenity to the point of abusing us.

    From family disownment, eviction, violence and of course to be blunt: people like yourself who think that trans women, trans men (who are rarely if ever brought up by your sort. Why the hyper fixition on trans women?) and non binary people are just fetishists  mutaliating ourselves instead of you know.

     

     

    People just trying to live regular lives like anybody else.  With respect, dignity and the right to not be harassed or killed.

    is SL going to die ?

    in General Discussion Forum

    Posted

    (Soft reminder when it comes to age demographics that the millennial  generation is commonly agreed to be from 1981 to 1996 so there's allot of millenials who are already here and in their 30's)

    Second life has been called dying since well. when I first joined. Will it eventually die off? of course. nothing lasts forever. But for it's age it sure as hells doesn't seem to be slowing down any time soon. I mean just look at the  things The lab has  implemented just in the past few years alone. Why would they continue to invest resources into something "dying.  No capitalist-leaning company would do that. The population  has been very steady. creators have been pumping  item after item. Bellarisa  is very populous.   Which means there's enough premium users around to make an active community that actually entices non premium users to visit and attend events at the region. 

     

    As for how it could attract younger, Well.  put aside any stereotypes about the younger generations for a moment and instead focus on UI-enhancements and  SL could very well prove be pretty attractive to them. People here have been grumbling about   the user interface and  accessibility.  So imagine how much daunting/outdated it must be to those not already onboard.
