"they had grown disenchanted with chameleon-like politicians"
The virtual world known as Second Life is the perfect platform for role-players that enjoy being shapeshifting chameleons. There is a fine line though between being respectful and trampling on the heritage of others that I have seen many residents trample on. For that reason, this post is just a showcase of the products versus a storyline or cosplay as I would typically do. #RepresentationMatters
When I spawned into SL almost fourteen years ago, there were very few options for people of color when putting our avatars together. In many ways, there is still a disparity in options for skins, ethnic attire and decor when compared to Western and European demographics and designs.
VIBE:
I am very pleased that there are now content creators that focus on ethnic diversity in their products. Check out the details of just a few below. Others are listed throughout my varied blog posts.
