Cheers

I try not to read the feeds very often because every single time I just get annoyed. I look at them to find new shit to buy, but It seems that every day there is a huge drama mess. So and so did this. So and so said this. Why the fuck is the SL industry so bloody catty?

I come from a smallish creative industry (film) where it was beaten into our heads a number of times of the rule “don’t talk shit.” The basis of this is probably one of the most logical ideas I’ve heard in a long time. In the basic form its if you talk shit about people, you are shooting yourself in the foot for future projects. In a small community, everyone knows someone that you know. You say something shitty about 1 person, you’ll probably not get to work with them or their mates again. If I work for a producer who is an absolute moron and I spout off about how badly I think of him. He’ll still continue to get more work even if he uses a fucking dissolve between each cut and ruin the project, him and his mates will not hire me again. And more then likely, it’d be more then just his mates since no one wants the option of being slandered.

Working in SL is a whole nother beast and it seems that many people have thrown out the idea of actually working together on projects. So yeah, there is really is no reason why animators should ever work together, but you don’t see me calling out names. You don’t see Torrid calling me a cunt. You don’t see Dove (LAP) writing out long posts about how any other animators suck.

However, fashion creators are thrown together in fashion shows. I’ve heard stories about some organizers have actually feigned technical difficulties at the exact moment certain competitors took the stage. I’ve read certain “fashion reviewers” (and I use that term loosely) who are content creators themselves and have said some really nasty things about others. Including but not limited to, calling out content theft based purely on rumour and no research at all. I’ve seen blogs that are for stores bitching about specific people. And frankly, I think its fucking stupid.

There is really nothing I can say here that will ever curb this childish poop throwing behaviour. The only thing I will say is that it does you absolutely no good to do such things. For one thing, it does give more exposure to whomever you are calling out, especially those of us who randomly find your blog and may actually like the other persons stuff and attitude better. Then you have the fact that there are many people like me who refuses to ever buy anything from a creator who behaves like this. When I buy something it’s just as much about whether a I like it as is wanting to support the creator who made it.

Just released!

These will be out sometime this weekend.
