On my last rant I wrote about the connection that SL has
with RL. How it’s not two separated things. That SL is not something you can
leave behind and forget the people inside while you’re at your RL job, family
dinner etc. I also said that I don’t see much judgement among my SL friends.
Those who do get judgement are those that hurt others. This rant is going to
be all about them.
In my short SL I came across many types of people and heard
about a lot of different types I must say I’m probably lucky I haven’t met so
far. Here are three types of people that in my views deserves nothing but our judgement. Type number one: Griefers. Like any society upon this blue planet, SL has its
criminals. This is how I see griefers, as nothing more then criminals. Some of
them are more dangerous than others, but criminals none the less. This rant is
more about people I met along this ride who hurt people for the sake of what we
call DRAMA. Yes, the D word.
Type number two: They say they hate drama, but they love it.
They say that the people around them they hate, are those who cause THE drama
and it’s never them. They think that SL is a game of the drama, by the drama
and for the drama (forgive my Lincoln, I had to). My opinion about drama? It
happens. Do I like it? I don’t care for it. Do I look for it? It’s everywhere
just like in the real world.
For example from my own SL I’ll take the people I was trying
to find a polite reason, some might call it excuse, not to work for them. A
club that was trashing other clubs openly, a club that in its first version
used me and my will to help to the max, a club that treated it’s staff in a horrible appalling way.
As I was thinking of a good reason that will not hurt their feelings, the owner
of the club got the vibe and in return banned me. So far I accept the anger,
didn’t like the overreaction, but took it. For some reason banning me wasn’t
enough. Friends of mine started telling me about staff of that club coming to them
and warning them of me. People coming to the club I work in and trashing my
name in the local chat and in that owner’s profile, besides calling me names I
will not repeat here, starting to mention as their new best friend, a person I used
to care for deeply. Using him with lies and manipulation, plain and simple, in
order to hurt my feelings. They (and he) succeeded. It took me a long while to
get back on track and focus on the future instead of the past, but I got over it
by let it go, while hearing how that staff member that was sent to warn my
friends about me was banned herself… and how more and more staff members found
themselves banned. It’s a simple story about over-reacting in SL to the point
of going on a vendetta crusade. From what I hear, karma is now working its
charm.
So this was about people claiming to hate drama yet looking
for it and if it’s not there, causing it. The final type for this rant comes in
all shapes and forms, in my case, came in the shape of a sick twisted man. A
man that thinks, that the game of love and relationships in SL should look like
and episode of The Young and the Restless meets porn. Tempting women into a
fake fantasy of deep friendship and then declaring love and all mixed in sex,
emotion and pity. When the woman tried to reject him politely/Falls for him and
starts feeling smothered, the game of guilt starts. If the game of guilt is not
helping, the game of shame, threats and manipulation starts and if that doesn’t
work that “lovely” man in need to defend himself starts with the spreading of
lies, rumours and moves on to the next targets. I say targets because this man
loves juggling… Karma is working its charms there too.
So what did we have here? The three types that deserve
judgement in Second Life, in my opinion, are:
- Griefers AKA Criminals
- Vendetta people AKA Drama “haters”. At least be honest to yourselves. Come on, look in the mirror and say “I love drama” there… better?
- Those that play on people’s mind and heart as a way of winning in the “game” of Second Life. Their game usually ends with Game Over…
