WHAT NATALIE DID NEXT.......
APPARENTLY??
Two columns in one week, this is apparently a new record for me. Firstly I’d like to thank all the people who messaged me and told me it was nice to see me back after my break from sl. Secondly, thanks to all those who hate us that carry on reading. To us this means A) you are ridiculous and B) you are an asshole, but thanks anyway.
For all those who missed the last column or are new readers, I am just back from an almost 4 month break from Second Life. In my last column I wrote about my shock and awe at how much men had changed since when I began my sl 4 years ago. I have been approached in world by several men who would like me to say that not all men are obsessed by getting women on webcams and they have swung it around and blamed the sl women. They tell me that in certain circles and when men are talking about women (and they do believe me) that webcamming is seen as an act of desperation in order to keep a man interested. The thing that shocked the men and me was that some of these girls don’t require the man to perform on webcam. They are happy to let him watch. I have one word-SERIOUSLY?
If it’s not bad enough that Sl has been flooded with a new generation of eager young men and women, for whom Santa Claus brought a new laptop fitted with built in webcam, we can now look forward to another type of generation. Just this week I heard the shocking news that apparently Second Lifes Teen Grid was to close. I don’t know why I just said “apparently” because it’s all over the net. Since it’s still not on the Second Life website, ill say “apparently”.
Not only is it closing but Linden Lab is apparently going to allow kids aged 16+ onto the main grid. Wait, stop the press a sec, but didn’t we predict this well over a year ago when they started splitting up the grid to adult, mature and the other one that serves no purpose? I mean, as I said at the time, why bother with all the hassle when we were all over 18? Well now you know! So ladies when you’re getting your party out on a webcam for the guys you can’t see, just think of some 16 year old in his bedroom having all the free porn he can get.
On a completely different note, I would like to talk about how new people word statements on their profiles. I have been notified of a rise in new people writing warnings on their profiles. This warning states that they can share conversations with other people purely because its stated it in their profile. Oh you think? Really, well I am living breathing proof that you can’t. Unless ofcourse this is a new thing that has recently came out, but I didnt see it on the Community Standards page.
The other thing is writing stupid shit like “Stay out of my profile” or “Quit stalking my profile”. Question for assholes? Does this really piss you off when people read your profile? Well here is a bit of advice from me, a profile stalker. Just leave it blank. No wait, no one cares. Just log off sl, cancel your no payment account and fuck off!
I want to end on a lighter note. This week I have been building bridges and made my peace with some people. Everyone accepted, all but one and it left me feeling somewhat disheartened but everyone makes their own decisions. If I didn’t IM you then I still hate your face.
Lots of Love
Natalie xx
