Jean Ralphio says
26. Okay now I hear you, I agree with you, but you should already be wearing mesh. Complaining about being “forced to wear mesh” is a yikes from me dog
mauisucks says
lol… you totally myss the point but ok
Nope says
Actually you miss the point, Maui is private property and they can set any rules they want, no one is forced to do anything they can just not go there if they want to be out of date
mauisucks says
you did miss the point because i did not complain about them forcing members to wear mesh you moron, i said it’s pretty stupid if they force members to wear mesh but put the system avatar of the owner at the entrance when you come in.
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
You mean a temporary thing meant as a memorial? Yeah, the people who get that are the morons, not you.
Kepavi says
&. Karen, you stupid bitch… The guy is bying GOS shoes as a gift and sending it to someone. You went full retard there – never go full retard
Ugh, 2020 just stop. says
#11 – Not everyone believes in religion and religious symbol mean nothing to millions of people. Get over it. #17- Stupid comment. Cutting negative energy out of your life like racism isn’t being “convenient”. It’s taking care of your mental health. #28 – What is this mess?? #21 – Art often imitates life, that’s what she’s doing there, it’s not a new practice.
Whocares says
#20 This is dumb lol If you can take him what do you think he’ll do to you? Get your own man and stop going after others.
Shut Up! says
#23 I am so sick of people like you finding reasons to bitch at others for doing the things they want on here with their avatars looks…Stfu and get a life
noway says
#8 you have no clue about bloggers lol. at first you need a very expensive equipment for doing high quality pics, than you need to pay photoshop, flickr pro and some other programs…so blogging on high level is very expensive and you need to spend lot of “rl” money and much time.
second Point: if you spend so much money and time, and you earn no money for all your work, than you do it because you love it.
so when a designer think that bloggers should spend more money and buy the item and than blog it, the person really dont appreciate the work of bloggers.
and if you are a designer and complain because bloggers dont blog your items, than honestly you are simple not good enough. because the real good designers like to be blogged.
so simple, make a good job as designer than you dont have problems with bloggers. if you have problems that they dont blog it, you are simple too bad.
thepotismine says
Lol who gets equipment to blog in sl, if you have a good pc build, you probably need it for other reasons too.
Pepperidge Farm remembers says
Like Dragon said, it is literally free to do pretty high quality photos. No, you don’t have to buy photoshop. No, you don’t have to do a ton of edits. Black Dragon viewer even cuts out the need to buy your own poses.
A list if you like:
Gimp (and other programs) is free. Not photoshop level but free and workable
Black Dragon viewer basically does 90% of the work for you as far as quality
Pose creation included in the viewer
Windlight creation included in the viewer (or you can do like a lot of others do and install free WLs some people have made and offer)
These are all basically what you need to do a good photo. Granted, there is no options that gives you an eye for angles but if someone is doing photos, I’d hope they already have that. No money is required to do photos. None. At all. Zero dollars. Zero cents. And no freebies are required from designers. Just like with actual companies down the road from you, advertisements are usually paid for, sure. That doesn’t mean its a right that you get free stuff. And I’d wager that the thought process in having bloggers buy the items themselves is that it’ll cut down on these people who take a 3 second photo in firestorm and click “upload to flickr” because “Who cares I already got the free stuff so whatever” instead of taking any actual time like the creators do in their own ads. There are a lot of people who “blog” just for the free stuff. But then on the other hand, there are a lot of people who “blog” and appreciate being given items and make a pretty great photo with said items. But really, I’d say those are few and far between because of the thinking here. “Give me things for free! I’m taking photos of your stuff!”
TL;DR You already have to spend $0.00 to take decent photos, just buy the items. It’s not that deep.
noway says
if you work with those free programs and you do the whole pose by yourself, than you spend About Hours on one pic. good People know, that high Quality work, doesnt matter if it is a designer or a Blogger, Needs time, simple. like i said in my first post, if a designer is doing good work, he/she will have good Bloggers who also do good work.
Pepperidge Farm remembers says
You’re right, for a designer or someone doing a photo, it takes time. I do them just for the fun of it. It’s sort of therapeutic spending hours making an in depth pose, finding lighting I like, finding angles and so on. But what you’re claiming with “if a designer is doing good work, he/she will have good Bloggers who also do good work” just isn’t how it works sadly. You do have plenty who love to do great photos for great creators they enjoy (because I don’t think anyone does ad blogging for designers they don’t like on some level) but on that same token, like I said, some do it for the free things, snap some flat pic with someone’s work they spent a lot of time on and click the “upload to flickr” button.
That alone is a good reason for creators to decide to have bloggers buy items. If you enjoy the items enough to blog them, if the creator is good enough for you to say “Hey, I would like to blog for you”, why are they not good enough for you to compensate them for the things they spend time and effort on and instead required to give them to you for free with there being a good chance the “blog” post will be just that, throw on randomly with clipping and all, snap in firestorm, auto-upload to flickr?
I don’t get the upset here. When people work for hours on products and there is a good chance of having that done, it’s not outrageous for people to want some sort of safety just in case. The clothing, accessories, skin, body, head, etc. None of these in my photos and photos of a lot of others are made personally. We buy them, we make a look we enjoy with our virtual Barbie and we want to make a photo we think is nice and unique. I didn’t get anything free (save for a makeup pack but that was a mix up and a VERY kind creator). I buy these things because the creator did good work, I thought they did good work and I purchased their good work. People are not entitled to have free things because they asked to do photos for a creator and the creator said yes. Bloggers put their name in the hat asking to be chosen. It’s very easy to simply move on to finding a creator with rules you agree with if you don’t like being told you have to buy the products yourself.
noway says
if you are a really good blogger, you have more stuff and you will not be able to wear this. and a lot of people will buy this because you wear it, so the creater makes money with you. what my point is, that i have the feeling that nobody appreciate the work from a blogger. and a blogger earns nothing but must also spend money. this is my point.
also me says
I agree Pepperidge, also creators spend a lot of time creating something and they get paid less for their work’s worth
noway says
you cant work with those progams in the same way, there are lot of Options what you dont have and you Need lot of time to do the pose and that everything fits, even in black Dragon and bd Need a good Computer and so on, time is very important and skills. i speak About high Quality Bloggers. high Quality Designers appreciate the work of high Quality Bloggers, because they know that it takes lot of time and also Money (you Need often to buy something Special….).
Hi (: says
Yes I agree with you, and most of the people in the comments. However from what I read it seems that some have no clue about blogging. So I would like to comment on the main points here.
1. yes, you could say it costs real money to do high quality pictures. Ones that will have all the details and good lighting and such. Of course you can take pictures with a simple laptop, but sadly you just won’t get the same thing if the laptop is not good enough.
2. programs do cost money (unless you get around and get yourself a free version which is also easy), flickr accounts cost. You can edit with free programs, but only the basics. If you want to make your picture more “professional”, you cannot just benefit from free softwares. (Nonetheless, the talent of the artist also counts, not just the software.)
3. Of course it matters what platform you run your viewer on. A good computer can run Black Dragon with no problem on high settings, whilst a simple laptop won’t even be able to keep it up until everything rezes.
4. and the most important – blogging for creators / stores. It is shitty when people just take stuff, and don’t blog / promote them. Therefore many stores have policies that are strickt when it comes to this issue, and it’s good. Myself as a blogger, I take it very seriously. I will never take stuff that i don’t or can’t blog. But there are people who think that “blogging” will get them free stuff, and they just do a half-ass job in return. In which case stores renew their bloggers (at least bigger ones).
Pepperidge Farm remembers says
You made a list a lot better than I did so let me steal that for a moment.
1.)I’d have to disagree since when someone decides to blog for a creator in SL, it is because they have been in SL to see said creator and have a PC or laptop, either or. That takes away using the pc as a reason blogging costs money.
2.)Programs like Photoshop do, in fact, cost money. And while you’re right, the free programs are different and maybe not quite as good, it IS workable if someone takes the time to learn about the program and capabilities. It is absolutely possible (from my experience) to get a very crisp clean photo without using Photoshop specifically.
3.)Correct. Black Dragon is extremely exhausting on a PC/laptop. While I chose Black Dragon as a good fix for needing heavy editing software and poses, I would expect that someone who decides to blog and APPLIES to be a blogger for a store has a system good enough to actually see the items they are wanting to blog (graphics wise). In which case, Black Dragon should be just fine if not a tiny bit laggy. That can be fixed by turning off deferred rendering while making poses, getting an angle and turning it back on when you’re ready to take the actual photo.
4.)It is a shame that people act that way. It’s a sad. But I appreciate that you put in that effort. It doesn’t make sense to me for someone to go out of their way to actively ask to be a blogger just to be flaky about it. It seems like laziness with extra steps.
Edit: Guess the site didn’t like the way I tried to rip off your list. Rude.
Whoever Put this up is a stank ass slut says
#20 You sound like a trashy ho who can’t get a man of her own, but go out preying on guys who are taken..I despise bitches like you. Dumb cunt if you can take someone man that easy..Wtf do you think he’ll do to you?
Should’ve thought twice before posting that dumb shit smh.
StayAtHomeBish says
My oh my! Wish someone can spill the tea on #20.
Is Whorelow in bed with Witchie now? The same bitch who fucked her man in RL (and probably could’ve stolen him if she really wanted to). Now she’s favoriting her pix? So cute.

#21 I used to follow Imperia, loved her elf pictures and how she told a story with them, she’s amazingly talented yes but then she started making angry pictures full of violence with bloodlust themes, one really has to wonder what happened to her? she went from crying for women being murdered to glorifying torture and execution in her pictures. That seems very contradictory almost like another person 🙁
HGLDFJGLKJOIJDFL says
BULLIES FLOCKED HERE LIKE FLIES. :)))))))))
WhatIsYourDamageHeather says
2. I have kitsune ear and tail sets in my inventory that are older than Verinne Ansar’s account. Also, you can’t claim pre-existing art as a brand or trademark. The kitsune “look” was developed and settled centuries ago.
FYI to the snowflakes, Verinne is what cultural appropriation looks like. Lifts something from Shinto with longstanding significance and drapes it around herself like it’s a bath towel. Also claims she has special privilege to use it that nobody else possesses. When native Japanese people are selling detailed and amazing kitsune tail and ear sets to anyone with the Lindens, she can’t claim a lock on them.
True Tea Hunti says
Verinne is a nasty human being. When The Epiphany was going to be partnered with the Crystal heart event two or so years ago she got mad because they wouldn’t allow her access to all the blogger boxes for free so she got Skyefaise, the other morally corrupt ethot to unpartner the event and unsponsor it because she did not want to pay for things she wanted for free. She has been causing drama for years, probably due to an over inflated ego and being an undesirable in real life.
Get Cancelled says
Is it also true about the racism? I heard about rumors about a cute black girl who wanted to have white ears and tail and still be a white kitsune with white hair and Verinne posted in fb or plurk somewhere *Again Rumors – Not Been Confirmed* that she went and called her racial slurs – she didn’t deserve to be a kitsune because she wasn’t: “White and Pure”
stale gossip says
In regards to the issues between Epiphany and Crystal Heart, Verinne was actually not the one involved. It was another friend of Skye’s. If you wanna hate someone, go ahead, but don’t talk out of your ass about old stale drama you know nothing about.
Chaz says
16. There’s those that have things planned every day for the residents. You have to search around. I gave up on rp sims after Bel died off. I agree with you ,tho. Went to CC before and it was straight lag and nobody was roleplaying anything. They probably don’t have enough personality to do a beach rp anyways tho. The design’s nice tho but you’ll be bored to tears there. Woodcrest is another story tho. Half the students at Woodcrest are bot like alts. I never go there anymore. Bots and people who suck a roleplay everywhere
2pupsandabowl says
i guess it takes a lot of personality to depend on someone else to RP to entertain you. How about instead of complaining other people are not role-playing you get off your ass and start your own roleplay. How come everyone expects someone else to start a role-play? And how does it take personality to do a beach party anyways. If you want a beach party…….throw one…..or do YOU not have enough personality to know how to start any kind of role-play?
Chaz says
Heyooo you must be from CC. I have never tried a beach roleplay in CC or would want one in CC. Y’all mad boring over there. Im just trying to help the OP. There’s better sims out there. OP just has to research and search. No offense tho but I guess it’s too late for that 😀
Just don’t, ok? says
BLM is a cult. There I said it.
WhatIsYourDamageHeather says
Who’s the leader? What do they believe? Do they have any gods they worship? Has anyone been de-programmed from BLM?
That is an innovative way of saying “I’m a racist jackwagon who can’t be arsed to give a shit,” though.
You ain't shit either. says
@Just don’t, ok? : That white guilt must be killing you. So you have to use conspiracy theories and other nonsense to make sense of people who are fighting for basic human rights? Wow, just wow.
Weirdos says
omg you dumbass snowflakes will create fucking drama out of nothing. BLM shit is total bullshit, seriously – Human Lives Matter, DUH
You ain't shit either. says
@Weirdos : Ok, Karen. Here, have a cup of white tears.
TalkToTheHand says
I think you need to look up the definition of the word “cult” because being misinformed is not very flattering. Also, it makes you look just a wee bit white supremacist.
Tired of SL's bullshit says
BLM is NOT a cult. It is a movement. For decades blacks have been seen as only criminals and the police target them and profile them simply for the color of their skin. The whole guilty until proven innocent bullshit needs to stop. A cult is a group where they follow one leader that pushes their own agenda.
Charles Mansion manipulated four lonely young adults into murdering people, whilst preaching his racist, doomsday propaganda. – Cult leader
Jim Jones – Manipulated an entire colony into mass suicide to avoid losing control over them all. – Cult Leader
BLM is a movement dedicated to fair and equal treatment of black people to other races. All lives won’t matter, until black lives matter.
BLM would never be considered a cult.
Just because there are a few that use it to justify their shitty behavior don’t make it a cult. Educate yourself.
justwannasay says
I wouldn’t talk about educating oneself, people actually might…
Interracial violent crime incidents in 2018
Black on White: 547,948
White on Black: 59,778
Hispanic on White: 365,299
White on Hispanic: 207,104
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
The obliviousness of you citing crime statistics when the whole point is that minorities are targeted and punished more harshly to the point where they die for literally no reason is just overwhelming. Those oversimplified numbers can’t possibly tell any kind of valid story anyway, and you cite no sources; nice try playing the whole “black on black crime” argument as if it in any way would excuse murder by cop even if you had any real point. Be less of a bootlicker, please.
Oprah says
#1 – She has a point there, it’s dammed if you do dammed if you don’t.
#2 – Are nekos making a come back?
#3 – Everything is racist, everything is sexist and you have to point it all out…
#4 – Nightmare stuff…
#5 – First time on the internet?
#6 – Those two shoes are not the same if that is what you are implying.
#7 – Morphs are right up there with some of the worst shit people do in SL.
#8 – All bloggers are freeloaders.
#9 – Half of those are edited and the other half are probably edited.
#10 – There’s your report list.
#11 – This is what you get when you use shit because “it wooks pweety”.
#12 – Haven’t I seen this one before?
#13 – A rock and a hard place, what did you expect really?
#14 – Oh miss popular this week.
#15 – Well he’s gonna have an easier time finding someone to warm his bed again than her, it ain’t raining men.
#16 – Why is this on SL secrets? There is so much wrong with this post… first, don’t tell people what to do, you can’t make anyone go RP at the beach if all they want is to stay in their homes, second, home prices in RP sims are notoriously high because you aren’t paying just for your house, but all the public areas as well.
#17 – Yeah the hypocrisy was always gonna be there when you see that kinda post.
#18 – Not only that, the “helpers” in the group are notorious for only carrying about their dick measuring contests with themselves, they don’t give a shit about people asking for help.
#19 – What did you do to make him run away and hide I wonder.
#20 – Then do it and post here to brag about.
#21 – Not only that I bet you 100 bucks right now if I look up crime statistics in Mexico men are being murdered at a rate 100 to 1 women.
#22 – And do they always copy paste the same comment? Fuck…
#23 – Fuck everyone that cries cultural appropriation, that shit is just stupid and normally those that cry are themselves culturally appropriating others, but that’s okay in their mind apparently.
#24 – And this is why I never read the other comments here, you gotta learn when to pull out, there is a bigger world out there.
#25 – This is posted by himself to boost his ego.
#26 – This is starting to look like the FMD saga… to the point, if you don’t like their rules, DON’T GO THERE, it’s amazing when people wanna go to a place for its aesthetics and crowd but they themselves don’t wanna follow rules that is what ensures the aesthetic and crowd…
#27 – If you have to do that, you got issues…
#28 – What ever this is…
#29 – What the fuck is a BJD doll?
#30 – Can’t argue with that.
#31 – That’s called trolling, trolling is when people provoke you to get a reaction out of you, what you do is you ignore them and they bore themselves out, the more you react, the harder they do it, do not feed trolls.
#32 – Forget that, talk about that shit tattoo on the arm joint, what the fuck is that?
#33 – Well let the guy fuck who he wants and if you don’t like that, walk away.
#34 – Crack Den is almost as old as SL itself, today it is a 9 sim RP sim, but it started as a skybox, it was a street, you had a med facility, a police station and a crack house, ence the name Crack Den, the RP was the darkest you can imagine, people living in absolute shit. Still today Crack Den has a theme of extreme poverty and distress, even if most people there are stupid and love to play the millionaire… point is, this kinda sim is nothing new on SL, stop being triggered and stop telling people what to do, SL was and always will be used to explore the darkest parts of humanity.
#35 – That’s half the strip and escort clubs in SL, and the other half you just missed the online times of the bots.
#36 – Oooooouch, seriously? I don’t even wanna know how YOU look like, damn!
#37 – Yeah can’t argue with that… although, at least they go balls deep, I hate it when they make legally safe knock offs, it’s like they are copying a bootleg version that is just extra freaking cringe.
#38 – Well, if you are paying for something ahead of time, you are an idiot, never assume something will ever be produced or updated, if you don’t like it how it is, don’t get it, and what the fuck is a “Progeny System” and how in the holly hell are you people dropping 3,380 USD a month to see further development?
#39 – Fuck right off, the dude posted this himself likely to get his wifey all riled up.
#40 – Well to be fair fuck that shit, how is anyone suppose to go around the whole fucking internet to see if a graphic design was snagged from somewhere? I can get behind you on RL branding, but other than that you are just being a cunt with that demand.
#41 – Can’t argue with that.
#42 – What is it that you found oh so terribly objectionable in here to award a secret to be made and uploaded…
#43 – Ladies and Gentleman, the oppression olympics, grab the pop corn.
#44 – Drama Llama. Wasn’t there a store and tried to pull a “don’t shop at my store if you so and so” and basically lost all their clients and had to start selling everything at a discount after they removed any reference to the “don’t shop here if…” post they made?
#45 – You know it’s very easy to spot any graphic designs in SL that has been stolen from RL, the trick is, you look at them, pay attention and just realize… they are all stolen.
#46 – See? Like the first secret, dammed if you do dammed if you don’t.
#47 – Can’t argue with that.
#48 – The evidence you have is shocking! Where ever it may be… let me guess, you couldn’t get in and the only reason you can think of is race because that is the only thing you ever have in your mind, there couldn’t be any other possible motives…
#49 – You forgot to add the names, and their quotes, this is pointless.
Boom says
#43 – Actually it’s targeted towards a group of drama freaks who for the sake of not satisfying their needs won’t be mentioned, yet.

#23 i think i find it more offensive to see jakobat making the picture than it actually being a white person with dredloks i mean what number ‘love of his (or her) life’ is this this yr ? 5 ? 6 ? jajaja
BitchBye says
#37 Interesting I wrote number #19 on the last weeks post and a few people in the comment section completely Misunderstood what I was saying. This is exactly why I said fuck access, equal10, tres chic and all the rest of them. Because they ignore good designers for these popular people who do not follow TOS and it makes no sense to me at all.
Alexander says
#23 – This has to be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen posted on this website. It is a hairstyle, for crying out loud. One gender, race, ethnically, culture, or whatever else you want to use cannot own a hairstyle. If someone, regardless of skin colour, wants to have dreadlocks, they should be able to without some bored middle-aged woman pointing her sausage fingers at them, screaming oppression or cultural appropriation. If a white person wants to wear cornrows, they bloody well can. If we go this route, why does no one care when people have long and straight hair? Because it is stupid.
Also, #BlackOutTuesday was not as well-received as you think it was. Many businesses owned by black people did not participate and urged others not to. Also, timezones exist. Tuesday for you could very well be Wednesday for someone in Japan. Their Tuesday is already gone, so how can they celebrate it?
thepotismine says
Agreed! there is cultural appropriation, and then there is Karen
TalkToTheHand says
YES There is always KAREN! hahaha!!
I can't says
#46: Releasing items using BLM as a theme or platform generates profit for the designer who made it, regardless of it being free, or 100% donation.
I some of them mean well, but some would be fully aware that jumping into any cause allows them a boost in profits and brand awareness.
When someone sees your release, or visits the store to get that freebie there’s a high likelihood for residual or side purchases, it also makes people more aware of your brand every time you release a freebie.
White people should not be profiting from this in any way or form, they should not be allowed to grow their business off the back of the movement.
Think more carefully before supporting designers who have used this as a covert way to gain more viewers/followers/sales. It only benefits them and their business but hide it under the guise of a good cause.
The silent designers are doing the right thing, and I hope they’re doing their part detached from their business personas.
Opinionated SLer says
Wow. So people joining a fundraiser to help raise money for BLM charities are only doing it to benefit themselves? That is a f*cked up way to see things. Some people actually do care about the movement & do it for free to help raise money for charities to help the movement in the only way they know how to or can & you said “White people should not be profiting from this in any way or form”, so it’s ok for a black person to profit from it or another race? That in and of itself is racism. I am so sick of people thinking every white person is racist or every white person has a negative motive for anything they do to help the movement. You’re way of thinking is broken and won’t help our movement in any way whatsoever.
I can't says
Would you find it acceptable for someone to add their insta handle to a BLM poster? That would be widely inappropriate and self serving right? So what is the difference between that and having BLM plastered up next to a logo of a SL brand?
All marketing is marketing. It may be helpful to the movement but it is also helpful to the designer in the way of brand awareness and profits.
thepotismine says
And that is the problem, even if people try to do the right thing, there will always be you Karens that will see it from a cynical viewpoint. Brand names also attracks people, which gets more awareness, which gets more money for charity.
Is that not more important then that maybe one or two people there will not go in it with a full heart?
Snow says
You seem to think that BLM is about black vs white. That’s a very worrying take in the movement. I think you might want to do your research on the origin and goals of BLM to get a better understanding of what it’s about.
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
People who think BLM is about black vs. white are just outing themselves as racist; all decent people should be fighting against our corrupt, out of control police regardless of race.
thepotismine says
This is such a sad viewpoint, you know that the gain from this would be minimal right? If you make good looking items, people notice you, if you do not, you will learn and grow. You do not get a pass because you are in a fundraiser.
We are all not wanting silence anymore, and you are telling people to be silent. sl creators are more then just their store. If they want to do something they believe in they should NOT be silent!
Check yourself.
that chick says
On the flip side though. Anyone who does these freebies/fundraisers with there name attached is in essence aligning there brand with that cause. It could, at least in theory, have the reverse effect and garner them even less people buying because people who don’t support the movement they’re supporting may be loath to buy form that person in the future. When you align your business with a cause or ideal there is always some inherent risk to it that it may cause you a loss in money. So there’s two sides to the coin here.
KT says
Funny the simp that is out of the loop and still thinks the genus thing is catwa related. That DMCA originates from someone outside of SL. That last-minute head sale and a free one (the free one being the smokescreen) was initiated days before the dmca was resolved right after but “let’s pretend” will continue while someone is taking lessons in 3d modeling but also getting outside help. Just wait, when genus is back there will be new heads to follow (because money) but they won’t be the quality of the ones that were sold and will never be resold again. At this point, I wonder what’s really taking so long, the cover story or the actual work?
bite me says
#1, 14 Maybe try to defend the causes that you truly believe in, regardless of the social media clout or backlash that it may get you.
#7 Morphs are creepy AF and I wish everyone stopped doing them.
#8 Bloggers give your product exposure, which brings you sales. In RL, brands do this all the time, it’s part of the game. SL bloggers call this “sponsors”, but in RL sponsors actually PAY (not just free product) for the products to be advertised, not only send them for free.
#12 Let’s see your receipts, slandering prick.
#13 Oh FFS you sound like an effing pamphlet. I haven’t seen any of that stuff you claim in the Genus discord server, ever, so just take your hateful sad pathetic ass out. Prick. Racist prick.

mage is everywhere says
#31 its mage its where the people from woodbury university and the hubs go if you can’t handle edgy humor stay the fuck outta mage pissing them off only encourages them to start crashing sims again and for those that did not know this the winesmith family are KKK and neo nazi supporters and allies of suzzie halsey and her ban evader sim
boohoo says
It’s not edgy humour. There’s nothing edgy in trying to bring people down.
Funt Munt says
How is that considered edgy humor? Its just sweaty incels doing what they do best, and taking out their frustrations on black people because they dont get enough sun.
Lawls says
Since when is mage scary? They’re just a bunch of racists that sit in their sim all day, and oh no crashing sims… lol
Sippin' On This Tea says
Its a sad day when we can’t fight and stand up for one another.. even if they are ” colored ” I’m sorry but no one deserves to die or anything they have been through.. some people don’t understand and won’t understand and some do understand… That’s the ones trying to fight with you ❤️ stay safe everyone!

#46 Rather than push people down for joining a cause late, let us join with them in solidarity when they come to the cause later on. Better late than never, folks.
Eboni Khan says
Mikel has been my friend forever. He is no racist and he doesn’t racially profile. Only on the internet, and especially in SL would a Mexican American be accused of racially profiling. Ridiculous.
boohoo says
31. Mage is just gross and on a whole different level. Places like this shouldn’t even exist on Secondlife. Created by trolls and griefers for trolls and griefers. LL got rid of safe hubs and now Mage is the place for all the scum of the virtual world to hang out.
Also, every time you see anyone with a name Winesmith just know there will be some Ns thrown around, maybe some Fs too. Bunch of adults that want to appear “edgy” with their teenage humour. Disgusting and shameful.
Crybaby says
Ns and Fs? That’s f***king shameful and disgusting.
Minns for mayor!

#6. According to his facebook, he is buying the shoes and gifting them as prizes. He isn’t claiming he made them and he isn’t selling them. Gos sells on marketplace, so gifting is pretty straightforward. He was also promoting Gos’s 50 linden Friday sale. So, probably not a copybotter.

Thanks for clarifying!
Tired of SL's bullshit says
Gotta love the comments section. *Popcorn at the ready*
1. Racism ain’t it, fam.
2. Boring.
3. The man just died a week ago and people are making offensive memes. Sadly, with the hoards of angry people, there’s a few bottom feeders that love to make a joke out of serious issues. Whoever made that meme should be ashamed of themselves.
4. Glorifying child abuse ain’t it, fam.
5. HP Darcy’s right hand fuckboi ain’t gonna do shit. There’s a block for a reason.
6. Copybotters are trash.
7. The morphing needs to stop.
8. Shit, if I got free shit from a store, I’d blog for them too.
9. Go make your own if you don’t like it.
10. Age-playing is atrocious.
11. Boring
12. This just proves Carol Baskin has eternal child face and the morph did nothing to change how she looks. Creepy.
13. Hypocrites don’t realize they are being hypocrites.
14. Same post from 1. Racism ain’t it, fam.
15. Who cares?
16. It ain’t up to the staff to “make things interesting.” Players should stop being lazy, cliquey and scared of each other and know how to stir up some excitement.
17. You sound like a disgruntled ex-follower. Get over yourself, Trump is a cunt.
18. Newb landing zones, they still have those?
19. Boring. Give us some context.
20. Being a slut don’t make you cute.
21. Bringing awareness to a wide-spread problem. Maybe spell it right next time?
22. You have a problem with people liking flickr pics? Can you find a dumber thing to get triggered over?
23. Dreadlocks ain’t just for black people. Get over yourself. Whites live in Jamaica too.
24. Hypocrisy is hypocrisy. Doesn’t matter what color your skin is.
25. Boring. Find a new set of pixels to obsess over.
26. That avi is gross.
27. Just saying…if they are your best friend, you wouldn’t feel the need to hide from them. If you’re sick of them, tell them to fuck off.
28. Don’t care.
29. Report them maybe?
30. Their rigging is trash.
31. Next time report and TP out. Don’t stay in a toxic environment just to argue. You’ll never win.
32. Ugh, boring. It’s Second Life, hotshot. Finding a faithful man or woman in this game is like putting your hand into a blender. It’s pointless and painful.
33. Block and move on with your life.
34. Sad. And that creepy smile on the faceapp shit needs to fucking stop.
35. Don’t really care.
36. Good question…
37. Because people in RL can’t afford that over-priced bullshit, so they get it in SL. It ain’t right, but it’s how things are.
38. Report them to Patreon then.
39. Positivity amongst the fuckery.
40. It ain’t their job to police how designers design their products.
41. A lot of designers in SL buy mesh templates. They’re not supposed to call it what the template is called, genius. Are they supposed to call it, “Full perm mesh skirt 003 – by mesh template creator?”
42. Are you referring to the saggy shirts? Those are gross.
43. You have a point.
44. The Stay At Home Club is for the coronavirus, not the BLM movement. Both are important but don’t try to overshadow one with the other. Many have died from the coronavirus.
45. Copyrights don’t matter for a few SL designers evidently.
46. Very true, however you seem the type to point out flaws just to point them out. As long as people are paying attention, does it fucking matter when they pay attention?
47. Yep.
48. Context is everything. Show us the racism.
49. Everyone is oppressed at some point. You ain’t special.
WhatIsYourDamageHeather says
European-type hair doesn’t loc. It mats. And only if it’s filthy or coated with oils to simulate being filthy. White people cannot wear locs any more than a black woman can grow her hair to look like Rapunzel. Setting aside the cultural appropriation argument, barring the “Jewfro” contingent, white people with ‘locs is physically impossible.
And if you think oppression happens to everyone, you need to go look up what that word means. Just about everyone faces some resistance to what they want to do or gets stymied when trying to get what they need. That is not what oppression looks like. Oppression is living every day of your life knowing a cop could end your life with impunity, to use one example. Or living where you can’t get fresh water because the government refuses to care. Or facing the certain knowledge your rapist will never be arrested, let alone convicted, because you’re the wrong race for the cops to care. Get the picture, bro?

All I gotta say
done with this says
Things I’ve learned in almost 13 years in SL:
Most of us never matured past age 15 and show it on the regular.
Most black avatars are white people pretending behind the avi
People care too much about what person a does with person b’s pixels
LL isn’t going to stop the people copying real life brands, so event owners won’t either.
Everyone hates everyone else and only pretends to be friends.
Southagermican says
In regard to the black avatars, sure, I believe that. And I’m also sure a ton of the blond bombshells are not blond bombshells in RL either. A ton of women are men in RL too, especially on the curviest side. And then there’s the elves and vampires and furries and all sorts of things.
SL is not the place where people come to replicate their RL experience bit by bit, even thought there might also be some who do.
Thot did you say says
Second Life, the place where you can be who ever and what ever you want, people don’t have to like you/it what ever, its your SL not theirs. Who gives a shit about what Person A is doing with person B, and C and D and so on, does it effect you at all? (talking to all the people bitching that A broke up with B to fuck C ) Who gives a shit, let them be happy if that’s what makes them happy.
Most female avis are guys, only way to know for sure is to hear their voice or even cam, but again, people can be whoever and what ever they want to be, don’t like it? don’t talk to them, simple.
Disgusted With Drama says
#10 – Considering I know two of the people on that list and one of them I have known since around 2013 and they aren’t age players it kinda discredits the whole list. Ethyn is the farthest from an age player that there is.
Ohpls says
Let’s be honest for people that are taking the time to make such a list , “ageplayer” in SL is everyone who’s AV is shorter than theirs…and they are probably sporting the usual 5m high Giant/Amazon
Opinionated SLer says
@Ohpls Not always true. When a man asks a girl during sex to pretend to be 12 or under and he will be her father and sneak into her room and sexually use her, that is wrong and that is what at least the one I added to the did with a few girls. Don’t always assume you know everything.
Ohpls says
I don’t even want to know how you are trying to explain how you gathered all those “true” informations about so many different people.
Maybe follow your own advice and don’t assume that much.
And at the end of the day it’s just two adults in front of a PC screen.
I don’t get this ageplay fetish either, but also I don’t know why anyone would want to wear those milking machines that are so popular in SL or why anyone is playing a furry and loves jiffing and there’s so much more…. It’s all “wrong” in someone’s opinion.
But let’s just face it it adults consentingly RPing different things. And I honestly don’t think that all those daddy s”doms” or babygirls in SL are pedophiles in RL.
I personally don’t give a f what those adults do in SL.
Opinionated SLer says
So you don’t think it’s wrong for a grown man to be playing out fantasies about raping children? What is wrong with this world. IF they have these desires and rp them in SL, ever think they may just be actual child rapists in RL and no one knows? Those that say they don’t care what people do in SL in regards to molesting children are just as sick as the individuals that play the fantasy out.
Ohpls says
No what I say is…don’t wind yourself up about shit on the internet that’s not worth it. If you feel like doing something go where actual problems are happening and offer your help. That’s what I prefer. Making such lists about SL people RPing shit you don’t agree with is just pointless waste of energy. Talking of pointless waste of energy … I think that was my last answer for you xD
thepotismine says
It is insanly gross, and wrong, i think any functional adult can agree on that.
However better in sl then rl. If that would help the pedo not do anything in rl, lets hope for that
Knowledge is Power says
But its RP in a sexual scene. We do it in RL too. He’s not “raping” a child avi, he’s having a consensual sex scene with an adult controlled, clearly adult avi. Since its obvious you arent a lifestyler, I suggest you stick to subjects you are actually knowledgeable in.
Doodletime says
He never did have the info in the first place. The biggest clue there is the people he was talking about was years old. Three of those people have not been in SL regularly for at least a year or more. The list made up was based on old information from a previous time of people he has double crossed recently. The rest is a mix of old salt, creator hate as usual and with some, a list of people he has diddles with on various alts.
This is the issue with Colby, he is a snake. If you let him into your life, he will turn on you very quickly, abuse you for what he can get. It’s a power blackmail thing. Self loathing SLer , if he loathed it that much he would have got off it . He is on SL more than any of us put together, that’s the comedy of it all .
Doodletime says
What do you mean “the one you added?” So you made the number 10 post? This is your new identity now. The old was was not good enough for you or you just moved on because of the embarrassment you put yourself in?
MrBTFO says
Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo Everyone i don’t like in SL is a pedo

Nah, I cant be mad , hypocritical epeen general taking on Britbox’s handle Just a sad case with an identity complex. I can’t be mad at you. I hope he looks you out to be honest, Britbox vs Alexander Tizzy. I keep my eye open on Youtube. I am sure it will be an entertaining bloodbath 😀
MrBTFO says
Why are you so mad at the internet?
TheAxe says
The guy has seen “Shining” one time too many
MrBTFO says
Aren’t you a little to old to be using the internet?
Opinionated SLer says
No one knows everything about someone. What someone does with one person they may never do again with anyone else. So just because you haven’t seen it happen, doesn’t mean it didn’t. I’ve known people I respected greatly for a long time that I found out later were not very nice people to some others. I don’t know the person you speak of, but, just because he has always been nice and normal to you doesn’t mean he was to everyone in his life.
Even serial killers had neighbors and friends that never thought they were “that type of person”.
Doodletime says
Exactly! If you invite a serial killer into your home as you watch him stabbing your family and half the neighbourhood claiming you are “alright”, then it says a lot for people supporting a person with half baked theories and accusation on most of the SL population. All that creates is that person made themselves bigger dick than the than the person/ people that screwed them over in the first place. May as well stop being an SL kid and go live a life as something else IMO.
Everyone in SL has had someone who was a dick to them, most learn and get on with it. If people don’t like whats being said about themselves, change your direction and be better. You suck it up and find better people, there are many. Go find some.
But that’s not what I asked, I asked if you made that post and if you did, you not hiding your shit very well. That’s all I am saying!
FireEyes says
Could someone please explain to the author of this list what age play is because simply having a child avatar is quite different. Seems to me the only pervert here is the one who has been stalking children and adding them to a list.
SMH says
My guess is he knows the difference, this is all about personal shit.
MrBTFO says
1 Digit IQ duuuuuuuh
MrBTFO says
Just someone living rent free in their heads. They call everyone pedophiles and age-players and when you ask for proof they fucking go ballistic and give you a 10 page essay on why they disagree with you. It’s truly kek these mentally ill freaks are losing their marbles can’t wait till the next episode of who is rent free in their heads LMAO!
Drama says
#46. I’m sorry but how the fuck can you sit there and EXPECT people to do anything? What about the poor sea animals that washes up on shore with plastic stuffed in their guts, or the amazon rain forest that’s being destroyed, where is YOUR energy in that? SImple, I do not expect you, or you, or that person in the back doing anything about it, we all focus our support and donations on different causes as much as we can.
Also for the hypocrites screaming racist this and racist that, y’all need to check this video out, and you will HOPEFULLY get a better understanding that the murder of George floyd wasn’t a race issue, it was a shitty cop issue.
TeaDrinker says
It is a shitty copy issue AND a race issue. They’re not mutually exclusive.
:Thonk: says
You wish it was a race issue. If you actually look up facts maybe you’d see the actual numbers. A white man got killed by the police almost amount of time that Floyd did and noone stood up for him. He was alone…. While Floyd had others watch him die and did nothing about it. You guys are fucking dumb
kesseret says
You are wrong. BLM groups stood up for him as well. https://blavity.com/blm-activists-call-attention-to-graphic-video-of-daniel-shavers-death-at-the-hands-of-arizona-police
WhatIsYourDamageHeather says
The cops are shitty BECAUSE they are racist. Pay attention. Maybe stop watching YouTubers like DelCarlo who is so “even-handed” he feeds the bigots and Nazis.
Travis says
#3 That’s pretty offensive to Mr Floyd and shouldn’t be posted anywhere, please give this man some respect.
#21 Another case of stupidity in Flickr? doesn’t surprise me, anything for clout.
#23 What I said above.
#30 Pseudo is trash, try contacting the creator if you have a complain, you’ll never hear from them.
#36 I like noobs better than full mesh avatars, they are not so invested in a videogame.
Anon says
You sound like you have an ugly avi lol
Ohpls says
…while you are invested enough to check and comment here xD
Butbuttbut says
#36 You can make a decent avatar for almost free. If they have been playing the ‘video game’ for years and are still not even that much invested in it, they are probably not invested in anything else they do in life either. If you become friends with them, they probably won’t be invested in the friendship either. No, thank you.
Agree with your points on #3 and #21 tho.
sad times for sad people says
#48. relieved that someone is finally calling out this pig…… we used to be close and I used to know this guy on a personal level. all he is good for is showing off that he is a nice person forefront but he is atrocious behind the scenes; borderline racist, obnoxious and sexist comments… nothing else to going for you but a little second life attention from a dry and dying event.. P.S. Everybody in your so called friends circle knows that you are sad and desperate…. sorry to break it to you, mate
btw nice attempt to cover things with the current signs plasters on the building because you knew you would be blast sooner or later
Disappointed Reader says
#48 Someone who clearly been turned down by TMD and is using the race card. What a piece of shit
Number 1 & 14 says
About fucking time Susanna get throw up on here!!!
Susanna can you STFU now.
Ummmm says
I know Ethyn Fhang and he is not a ageplayer by any means so I don’t know where you got this info from and do you have evidence to back that up.
Opinionated SLer says
Even serial killers had neighbors and friends that never thought they were “that type of person”.
Ummmm says
still doesn’t matter if there’s no evidence.
Just some RPer says
#16 I get that it is frustrating if people are just huddled in their homes not interacting publicly, but you’re complaining if people are RPing their jobs, too? O.o
If someone is working at a restaurant or even just studying in the library they are in a public place open to RP. That’s part of what RP is. You’re saying these sims are a “real life” RP place but then asserting that if they are working an RP job emulating said real life, they aren’t out in public. There’s more to life than just tanning on the beach.
Melissa says
#46 They have, however, expended time, money and effort to make something and give it away, so that people can, if they wish, use that to express support for the movement in sl. What have you done?
heidhr says
Confused about Genus….are they in business or not. I

They are currently in limbo until the DMCA issue is resolved.
True Tea Hunti says
Anyone with the last name Winesmith should automatically be considered a racist and homophobic. They constantly attack and spew hate towards anyone of color, with an accent, are trans/LGBTQ ect. For years they having been doing the same shit over and over and nothing is ever done about them. They are nothing but a bunch of griefers and trolls, which sadly STILL exist in second life. Honestly all you can do is teleport away from them and avoid their white privileged trolling.

Rolls eyes says
#8 Not all but some Bloggers are self righteous narcissists. That post clearly shows you’re blogging for free shit only and are mad that lazy bloggers are ruining your chances of getting more free shit. I appreciate bloggers (that are worth a shit) but a lot don’t credit shit properly. Even if you’re blogging things you bought you should credit everything that is visible to help the brand that you like. Theres a difference between taking pictures just for fun and blogging. Blogging is a-lot of work and people need to do it for their enjoyment and not expect much. I don’t blog because I am not a master photographer, and tbh I understand why people get rejected by brands, if that brand is going to be giving you free shit on the regular it’s going to benefit them if they choose the person who can make amazing photos to compliment their items. Now some just choose anyone because they are starting out and maybe their stuff is not as high quality and that’s fine. Bloggers stop bitching about everything please and thank you!
Not A Fan says
I didn’t know you were reading from the rule book as to how bloggers should manage their blogs.
As long as a blogger is adhering their sponsor’s rules and obligations, how they blog/credit is of no concern to you.
Rolls eyes says
That’s my opinion its of only concern to me thank you very much.
Butbuttbut says
Maybe I don’t understand how blogging works, but if “Theres a difference between taking pictures just for fun and blogging” AND “blogging is work but people need to be doing it for their own enjoyment” What is the difference?
Of course, the brand can “choose the person who can make amazing photo”. But then why should anyone else be expected to “help” them for nothing in return? Who makes these rules? Nothing in life is free, my friend. It is all give and take.
Rolls eyes says
I was talking about people who Take pictures for fun, blog for fun, or take shit for free and don’t blog. That was the jist, I should have expected your tiny brain wouldn’t understand that.
Butbuttbut says
Oh so that is the gist, heh Einstein? ?
#8 talked about people taking the free stuff and NOT blogging it. I agree. That sucks.
But YOUR post didn’t talk about that. You spewed whiny BS about bloggers “blogging for free shit only” and “people need to do it for their enjoyment and not expect much.”
Yes, I blog for free shit!! Also yes, if I take the free shit it’s my duty to blog it. But hell yes, if I’m going to promote it, I want the shit for free!! (or get paid L$)
You sound like a stingy creator wanting bloggers to buy your shit and promote it for “enjoyment” only. Lmao
also me says
You sound like someone who understands but is confused so you are having a fight in your mind
also me says
it means they take free shit and dont blog.. then they should be not trusted or permitted to blog at all, sometimes we make a wrong judgement and trust the wrong person

#10
All I know is … Colbydark/ Anime/ Alexander Shitpost
4 &19 – So good you named him twice?
5- He refused you as per was said last week, so yeah you had to include him as per your threat. Only stupidity Kioko has is his link with his SL brother. If you are saying that Kioko could do better, I agree. Just not with you. ?
6 & 7- YES, if you go to Cedar Creek and see the rest of the Clown Crew, you get the full picture.
8- It’s like asking us do bears shit in the woods at this rate
12- Yeah, probably the worst one as far as there in shitty personalities go
13 – Ethan Fhang ? Really. Reminds me of the time you tried to post Isil was a pedo on her Marketplace. You such a salty heartless fuck Colby
14 & 15 – Possibly Colby’s rage against creators again, will be someone else next week. Never changes.
16 – He is strange boy but never has been a malicious kid, Salty pick
17 – I wondered when you were going to ever get to him. You should know, you humped him often enough.
18 – Not ageplay there rumoured to have reported a few though. Can’t see the wood for the trees mostly- oblivious to what’s under his nose half the time.
19 – Seeing you double posted on your secret, I make one up for you – Here is your old alts bare ass on TV cruising for boys , I hope you had fun there. https://ibb.co/hsC14Jq
As was said before, lots of hypocrisy between such kids. You would have thought if they were doing things like that, they would shit on each other less and actually get on. You would never have the issues like they do now “exposing” each other. You all horrible to each other, get a life !
Abfab Hax says
1.) Nothing about her comment is racist. If you think it is, then it’s you that has the problem.
4.) Is there a picture of her dropping that imaginary kid? Cause that is the photo I want to see. There could be a target on the ground. None of us know. lol
6.) They are totally different shoes. Straps are different.
7.) Morphing needs to stop. There is no need for it with all the amazing backdrops and clothing options in SL.
11.) Am I missing something in this picture? Are you confusing the two X’s on her nipples as crosses? If you hold religion in so high a value, why are you calling this person a whore/slut?
17.) Well if anything this shows a good example of what is going on in the world today. We as humans tend to only be very concerned with what is important to us the individual as it pertains to our daily lives. You have to wonder about a person who uses the word “racist” then protects herself from that hard conversation by deleting people. Weird.
36.) Maybe he has a great personality?
39.) Always nice to see a caring submission
44.) They didn’t want to participate and she should have accepted that. Bashing them after is a chump move. She applied all the pre-set notions she had in her head to who they were (based off of very limited knowledge) and decided to publicly shame them. It’s bullshit.
48.) Is there a backstory to this?
Nuri says
Totally different shoes? Even the ads (pictures) are the original from GOS store.
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
I think the genius racism defender here doesn’t realize those aren’t comparison pics, but rather 2 different pairs of copybotted shoes being given away by the same person. Not the sharpest tool in the drawer, is Abfab.
Abfab Hax says
I love the fact you still think about me BeLessIgnorant. Don’t you have a preachers dick to suck on Sundays?
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
Only when you make really stupid comments, and you’re so good at those.
Abfab Hax says
I thought they were trying to compare the two. Thanks for the clarification.
Banana says
#11 was the fact she used the moon with the Star and Crescent. widely used to symbolize Islam.
Abfab Hax says
I was looking for the religious symbol in the photo itself, which I did not see any.
Elmo says
Also in about a hundred animes including the ever popular sailor moon..all hail usagi…oh wait also in most Wicca too..gasp no wait.. It’s also just used in basic aesthetic design too.. Gee so religious there

Absinthe Whimsy says
#34!!
Hello.
Thank you for the free press. I’m traveling around SL because real life adventures and vacations are cancelled. SL is an escape to enjoy the things that I simply can’t this year. Perhaps this is the same for many people. You are not privy of my activism, protesting for civil rights, and donating of real life money for a plethora of causes. You are not privy about the countless hours of *real life* community service that I give to my indigent community. So, I ask you to refrain from making any assumptions about me and how I spend my real life time.
Thank you for “attempting” educating me about A Favela anonymously through SL secrets. Some dear friends made a wonderful sim that I really loved exploring. As did many people in SL from all the photographs and promotion. It was a unique and intriguing experience for me and, I must say, I truly enjoyed spending time there. My photographs do not take away from the strife that may be happening there. And, perhaps, even in the real A Favela there is some beauty to behold. I do not think this sim was meant to be a political statement. People create simulations in Second Life for exploration and visiting. I do not own this sim and I made no lindens from it. I’m sorry if the tone of my photos disturbed you. Yet, out of hundreds of photos made by many SL travelers, you choose to target me?
I’m sorry that you have so much contempt and hate for me. It must be very difficult for you to follow my flickr and SL as closely as you do. I can only imagine the effort and time it takes for you to be consumed by someone like myself. If you truly had issues with me and my travel photos to A Favela, I wish you would have spoken to me virtually via direct message. I’m a reasonable person and love to engage in thoughtful discussions. I would have really enjoyed learning more about A Favela from a person who seems to be deeply connected to it. My Brazilian friends love this sim and we had many conversations that painted a different point of view. Most were joyful and fond recollections that tried to embody for them. I’m always open to talking and listening. And, maybe after our discussions we could have collaborated to show something you felt needed to be expressed on my virtual platform. I’d have been happy to do that with you.
Black lives matter has nothing to do with this. Please do not flip scripts and project your anger onto me. While you’re sitting here complaining about BLM, you’re stalking my flickr and my SL, making assumptions about me, sitting on SL while doing it typing to an anonymous based hate-website. ? This makes no sense. I’m going to keep doing what I love, showing the creations in SL in ways that I enjoy, and enjoying my friends that I have here.
Anyway, since I’m apparently still relevant (shocking, really), here’s my flickr!:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/sinontherocks/49958408272/in/dateposted-public/
And, if you’d like to stay how you feel about me to my “face” here is my username: absinthe.whimsy. Trolls will be blocked, however.
Until then… I will be enjoying my SL and please, enjoy yours. (Please forgive typos, I’m nervous to respond here and likely won’t ever again.)
Witch says
Why yes. I am witchy much. And for the record, my post isn’t the only one here that mentioned the drama she created in August. And also for the record, my information goes way beyond the public social media narrative. You might be surprised. You say Absinthe has been “really kind to many people.” Probably. But she’s also been really unkind to many people, and apparently, that’s a side you haven’t seen, but others have. The mention of Autumn was made because that situation was also very unkind, and it has nothing to do with Autumn’s untimely passing. It was just another example of this woman’s character. I am neither pathetic or “stalkery.” Absinthe came here to the party herself and posted, I didn’t seek her out and I assure you that I wasn’t the person who made the original post, nor am I any of the other posters below with similar opinions or experiences. I wrote my opinion just as she did. Obviously you are a friend of hers since you seem to have all of this inside info about her situation and dealings with people. You are fortunate, then, that you are not someone she considers an enemy or useless to her, because she also has a major mean streak.
-A says
#34 Y’all need to get some lube if you are going to keep riding absinthe’s dick so hard like this. Go take your rl issues to RL. It’s fking sl. If you want to go make a difference go bitch about it on rl platforms and save sl for sl.
Spazzo says
Absinthe should be sent to St Quentin for prose like this: “babe… that’s the 20th chicken you’ve taken a photo of.”
“i can’t help myself. they’re everywhere.” she grinned behind her camera.
then, she actively shoo’d them off the road, hoping they don’t become lunch meat. literally.”
and:
“the long walk home after leaving the bar in shoes that hurt their feet. oh, and she learned the hard way that this was a nation of lyft, not uber.”
Ghastly. Actually if you want a laugh, Absinthe asks where she should go next! Suggestions on her flickr! I’m thinking Hellgate Prison, but where do you think she should go?
Absinthe Whimsy says
Don’t like my writing or my Flickr? Don’t look at it.
Alex says
Don’t like “an anonymous based hate-website” Don’t look at it ?
Spazzo says
To be honest I quite like some of your images – your avi actually smokes how people smoke (nobody holds a cigarette in their mouth) and I think generally you have a good eye. Admittedly they are a bit sickly sweet and verge on being a bit too perfect. I’d like it if you used your own handwriting instead of cursive – just get a scanning app for your phone and a nice fountain pen. Do I follow you? No. Do I check? – once a month maybe. Do I envy your talents? Sometimes. And yes, your writing makes me cringe.
Spazzo says
I meant “cursive fonts”
Gaslighter says
Things that happen in SL are pretty much real, it’s real people playing with real money there. It’s not just a videogame, it’s a 3d social platform. You can’t say “it’s just sl” because according to that logic it would be fine to have a KuKuxKlan sim too. Maybe that’s where Absinthe should go next since she is a black girl playing a white princess.
Absinthe Whimsy says
I’m Asian 50% of the time in SL, too. Don’t forget that. I guess it’s ok for people to play cross gender avatars, be furries, children, babies, animals, opposite avatars of their real life sex, but heaven forbid I create avatars of other ethnicities.
Someone come quick. Send me to… “Hellgate Prison”!
I think you stating my real life race took away from a somewhat valid point you were trying to make. And, I wouldn’t visit that sim. FYI.
SMH says
You are 100% a BULLY, we still remember how you trashed AutumRose in your Flickr accusing her of stealing your polaroid ideas, turning people against her without even knowing her and yet you are here saying “oh I wish you had contacted me in world to say it to my face”???????? why didn’t you do the same to Autumn then???? Hypocrite
idk about that says
It would be nice if we, some of us long supporters, could send you a message to ask why you blocked us on Flickr out of nowhere… even though we’ve never talked to you before. Shame. I really loved following you and your work actually. I did try to send you a message asking why or if I had done something to you, which is highly unlikely because I keep to myself. But you never answered. ??♀️
I used to not believe people when they said you were a bully but now it feels like I’ve been bullied myself, without even coming into contact with you lol.
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
She probably saw some picture you took with a pose someone else made, in a backdrop or sim someone else designed, wearing things made by other people, and thought you copied her because it bore a vague resemblance to something she did with the similar things all made by other people LOL It’s so funny when people who create nothing think they are doing something original by photographing other people’s work.
-A says
Everyone is making quite the reach to sit there and stalk Absinthe. This whole COVID lockdown really has all of your panties in a nice tight bunch. Once they lift the lockdown in your area, maybe you should really go see a doctor to try and get those sticks lodged up your asses out. It’s SL, and if you take it seriously to a point of being so upset that someone created a character that is not them in real life, maybe you are the one with the problems. People have played games in all of their lives. I am sure people who played different species in WoW didn’t get trashed for putting money into the game for playing a different species than themselves. And point made, I am sure those furries in SL aren’t real animals in Real life either, they shove real money in the game with a full imaginative thought they are actually animals to R-O-L-E-P-L-A-Y . Her Flickr is for her. She writes stories on it, she is creative. Who fucking cares if she takes pictures of chickens, if that is what she wants to do, then let her take pictures of a million chickens.
Absinthe on her flickr called out Autumn, yes. But you only see what is on the front cover of that book and whatever else someone wanted to share publicly with you. If you weren’t directly involved in that situation gtfo. You wouldn’t know a whole story if it bit you in the ass on this site. Jumping to conclusions because if it’s on Virtual secrets IT MUST BE TRUE, let’s rush to crucify someone because EVERYONES DOING IT I want to be so cool too.
Go do something better with your time and spread love not hate, you must really hate what you see in the mirror when you wake up if you choose to spend your precious time finding ways to try and make another person’s life just as miserable as your own. People should really be ashamed of themselves to want to pick at the tedious things in life, you must lack so much love in your life that all you know how to do is hate. So let me start by giving you a virtual hug because, in your belief, it is real even through a computer screen, you need more hugs. #SpreadLoveNothate
saaaayy whaaaat??? says
LET ME GUESS WH0 THIS IS……..HER SUPERHEROBF KARN…..WHO IS ALSO H-E-R-S-E-L-F!!!!! or you think we are so damn stupid we don’t see it???? Who needs to go see a doctor really? that’s you sweety!!!!!! lololol
iknow says
That’s not the only male account she has! there’s a couple of them with active Flickr accounts. Partnered even! Y’all have been fooled lmfao!
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
Why don’t you explain how you “role play” as another race? Hmmm? How exactly does that work? Are there certain characteristics one has to “play” differently from one race to the next? That’s an easy question to answer for things like gender, being a child, and imaginary creatures like furries. I wonder if you’re brave enough to say what you mean when it comes to “role playing” a race.
This is gonna be good.
mickeyhouse says
I know, someone better call the Culture Police. I guess everyone better adhere to their assigned genders, racial makeup and natural hair colors before snowflakes get more upset. Or maybe…just maybe, mind your own business and get your nose out of people’s bootyholes.
Be WAY Less Ignorant, Maybe? says
Next time, you better stretch yourself before you try a reach like that again. Wouldn’t wanna over do it on again.
haha says
God you’re fucking stupid sometimes. Role play as another race. You realize people do this all the time? Not much imagination huh? Figured since imagination is linked with intelligence.
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
Why can’t you explain how it is done then? All these responses, not a single example of how one “role plays” as another race. Hmmm… it’s almost like they realize anything they specify is going to be a racist stereotype and they’re afraid to say it.
Which is of course, exactly what I expected. Thanks for the confirmation; as you were.
Be WAY Less Ignorant, Maybe? says
I answered you, it appeared you were stretching to make a point. A socially awkward point at best. By claiming the only way to defend someone’s avatar appearance through racists stereotypes is factually incorrect. That kind of mindset appears to be coming from a negative place. Only feigning real concern in the moment to attack someone for simply playing a game how they want to. Dictating how someone should play a game might show how little your own mind works. And I feel sorry that you appear trapped inside a sad box of false moral superiority. A vast majority of people in SL use avatar much different from their own appearance. That isn’t racist in any way, shape or form. That is just pure creativity and freedom to appear as anything they wish to. If you look at an avatar and see racist, that is an issue on you end it appears. When most people with the slightest bit of common sense can see it as a choice. Just remember, Be Less Ignorant, but also, Be Less Angry, Please.
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
It’s ironic you accuse me of reaching with that dislocated shoulder; you had to assume an awful lot to write all that nonsense. I’m not angry, I’m just amused by gotcha moments. I find it funny when people put their feet in their mouths on public forums because they don’t think before they speak. They said specifically, that it was done to role play as another race. Obviously, no one’s going to admit what they do to pretend to be another race, because it’s probably a stereotype, even if it’s not considered “negative” one. If they had said “they do it to explore different looks”, I never would have responded- in fact, I’ve mentioned before that people like bloggers who change races like they do shoes are completely different in the past. Invent whatever you need to for your weird little flex there, though.
dr Phil says
The problem is not RPing another race. The problem with this young lady is that she is not happy being black, she thinks she is a white girl. She has not learned that it is a privilege and an honor to be black.
Brink says
#2 LMFAO Verinne is the farthest from being a trendsetter. If anything, she’s a condescending cunt with a god complex. Thousandsof people have done the kitsune look, LONG before her, ( YES, EVEN WITH 9 TAILS!! WOW) before her, and lets not forget about the fact that all she did was steal a figure from Japanese mythology and said “I made this.” Not that smart, and it doesn’t take long for you to figure out how low her IQ really is. Just talk to her for 10 minutes.
“I’m too intelligent for my own good, oh mah Lord!” More like…too dumb to realise what a retard she is.
She needs to keep her huge nose out of people’s shit.
A Kid says
I don’t understand the drama around her even. People were making kitsune characters in AOL roleplay chat in the late 90’s because a popular anime at the time had one. I think he even had white hair. Not an original concept.
MrBTFO says
I don’t understand how you can LARP as a kid on a gossip. Sickening.
DancienGraves says
#46 and here you are making a secret about it. So exactly what the fuck are you doing?
Friendofafriend says
#32 How about not hiding behind an alt, this site, or other means and say who you are. Only cowards hide, or those that only want drama. Both are friends of mine, if you have proof then show it, if not then go away.
Miss Mouse says
She won’t because she is a coward and there is no proof. He is not like that at all. I’ve known him for years now. One of the kindest people I’ve met in SL. It’s really obvious who wrote that secret. Serene get a life you jealous bitch. It really bothers you that he seen through your charade and wanted nothing to do with your psychotic ass doesn’t it? All I can say is he dodged a bullet when he tossed you to the garbage can where you belong.
evilgrins says
She’s useless, no reason to get upset over something like this.. The person that posted that is most likely Serene, Selina(i think that was the spelling) or lillith, or bain, or daveno or something like that, or which other one she has, she’s been hiding under many alts for years, she just didn’t get her way, because he has no interest in her, which I kinda kept putting that in his hear, she’s not worth it, don’t get involved. . I know him, he’s not a player, he doesn’t have it in his bones to be like that, I was partnered to him for four years and now a very good friend. Let her hate. She’ll find her next victim on avmatch 😉
Petunia says
#46 THANK YOU!!! I agree 100% with you.
MR.Gore says
Do we have proof of this? or Like rape victims are we going with a ” He said she said” Kind of deal. Where no proof is needed. Mmkay.

#27 I feel this so hard.
Toxxic Rhiannyr says
#41 – I will never stop complaining =) How about … stop listening to every word I say? ?
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
It’s cute how you ignored the real point, which was if you spent all that time actually improving your craft maybe you’d have less to whine about. People who only texture full perm meshes don’t belong in events. Have you ever seen Ivey from Sn@tch complaining about that? Because she’s way better than you at it, and if anyone working on templates deserves it, it’s her. She doesn’t need it though, because she’s always been good at it, and she charges realistic prices based on the fact that her work isn’t original. If you’re charging $199L+ per color for template work, your delusional brand deserves to die in obscurity.
Toxxic Rhiannyr says
I will always be a whiner. LOL! Everything in life could be gud and I will still complain about somethin! I’m a woman, duhh we can complain about ANYTHING! Thus why I am like, don’t watch me so close, you WILL catch me whining about something. I do however improve my crafts quite often. I have 4 stores and a 1 business that oozes original content and then alterego is still there for the occasional template texturin. So your comment seems a little outdated for the stuff I currently put out so… Side note, Ivey IS a fantastic creator, no lie about that.
bite me says
considering how you treat people like shit like your the queen of everything, yeah, complain away lololol
I actually think texturing a template is underrated in SL big time but if the owner of an event don’t like it, its their event and they do what they want so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Really bad attitude problem says
I cannot wait until you fall flat on your face. After interacting with you in regards to client work, your responses were nothing less than disgusting and ungrateful. And with all those down-votes on your message, it seems the majority of people don’t even actually like you either.
Toxxic Rhiannyr says
It’s rare that I spoil a client relationship, but has happened. I have standards and I am aware of the type of people I simply cannot work with. A lot of people do not like me and its cool. I can’t please everybody. Alsooo.. it just so happens that ALL of the people who do not like me are on this site. If you wanna see a place where a LOT of people like me, check my portfolio and client list of 700+ businesses in SL. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Be Less Ignorant, Please says
LOL yes, we all know you got into planning hunts so you can try to make money off other people’s talents, since yours are only mediocre and apparently you don’t have any interest in improving. Too much effort involved? Definitely more than say, taking people’s money for an “opportunity” to give away something in a hunt. It’s a hell of a racket. Unfortunately, we all know that you bitch and moan about that minimal output of effort too. Sounds like you’re just bitter.
Toxxic Rhiannyr says
sounds like you are bitter. are you like, mad bc i can put little to no effort in to things and make money? or are you mad bc i never go away like you want me to? coz all this complaining about me … complaining, is exhausting. its way too much effort to come over here and talk sense in to you js
Pocketsand says
> Whines about people slighting her about using templates and claims she improves.
> Literally admits she puts in little to no effort to make money.
> Still doesn’t grasp why people take umbrage with her and just thinks it’s people being bitter.
You can’t make this stuff up, guys.

really??? now we are going to call each other racists in SL too???
just stop! it’s bad enough that the world is on fire and people get killed for it… no need to bring that here too!
we are pixel toons here in every color of the rainbow and every imaginable shape, just shut up let people have 1 place where they can just unwind, have fun and be… PEOPLE!

#34 Fuck off you block of woof for a head cunt!! if it wasn’t for Favela in SL it wouldn’t have made me research about Favel’s in RL.
It’s snowflake pricks like you that make most people want to stop the world and get off!
AfroReggae says
Woah who’s triggered like a snowflake now?
While I agree a sim could be a good opportunity to show the dire situation of Brazilian favelas, it’s incredibly frustrating that this sim instead portrays something far from reality, an utopian favela should be the name maybe. It feels uncomfortably phony for a Brazilian like me and quite misleading for Non-Brazilian visitors on the issue. But you must know all that now since you did your research and educated yourself about the subject. Bottom line is: “A Favela” is nothing more than poverty tourism exploitation in Second Life.
favelado says

Try Me Mikel! says
Another one of Mikel’s yes men! I was a creator at tmd for a long time left it because of Favoritism, Mikel’s god complex, How he talks shit about other creators to other creators, Placing all his favorites in front of the landing points and doorways forcing others into isle booths because he is lazy and won’t upgrade that old ass building. I still have sound clip’s on my PC of him talking shit about Infinite, Tonktastic, Vexiin, Mgm and other’s.
Doodletime says
If anything I have watched the quality of some of TMD go from good to bad, to downright questionable. One being a very well known hair creator, who creates hair that looks like the equivalent of the saddest looking wigs in a charity shop box. Yet still has prominent store placement. Most know the products are terrible, yet its still in there. TMD are also one of the few that still holds “VIP” days. Anyone spending money is a damn VIP and people can shop over the ban lines regardless. Just open the damn store and less of the snobbery.
MrBTFO says
Haven’t you got a sexual deviant convention to attend?

I would ask you the same question Alexander, its not me or my alts age playing with a good percentage of the SL kid population. Its you . Get with a program or deal with your shit . Backbiting wont help you any .
