Comments on: Looking up Taco Rubio at the Upskirt Museum http://alphavilleherald.com/2004/12/looking_up_taco.html Always Fairly Unbalanced Tue, 04 Oct 2016 13:18:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Lynne Singh http://alphavilleherald.com/2004/12/looking_up_taco.html/comment-page-1#comment-48178 Lynne Singh Fri, 06 Jul 2007 14:30:50 +0000 http://localhost/wp_2/?p=2583#comment-48178 This all comes down to the same issue I have been witness to since day one in SL, and has continued to now, 2 years later. The issue is one of definitions. For Taco, SL is "just a game". He views it all as unreal. Others don't necessarily agree. Does that make them wrong? Does it make *him* wrong that they don't agree? A picture of a person taken in RL is only pixels on a page too. So, why is it a RL person would get upset at a picture of them, taken from under their skirt? Because it *represents* them. That is enough. And, in a respectful digital world, the fact that someone else is troubled by such occurring to them would also be enough. Not whether you agree with them. just that they feel so for themselves. When what we think matters more than how someone else feels about how we act on those thoughts... well, there's a word for that. "Sociopathy".
