'cause we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear

Channel Awesome lives...more or less. I'm not going to say it's good, because I still believe they haven't learned one single thing from all of this controversy, but...yay, Tamara Chambers and Malcolm Ray still have jobs? That's good...right?

In the meantime, let's talk a little about Nicole Arbor. Now, she's a terrible person, start to finish, I'm not going to spend much time establishing her internet history--all anyone needs to do is listen to her Dear Fat People video, or her ridiculous Why "Depression" Is All In Your Head video, or just for fun, how about Chrissy Teigen's response to her "Fat People" vid, or the Armoured Skeptic's response to her "Depression" video, or hey, how about Nicole herself convincing everyone on The View that she's a terrible person?

That's not the point. We already know she's a terrible person, with terrible ideas. But now we know she's a terribly racist terrible person, as well.

Point:

1. Nicole Arbor's This is America: Womens' Edit video
2. Daz reacts to that terrible video
3. ImAlexx reacts to that terrible video
4. ImAlexx reacts to Nicole Arbor's terrible apology
5. What's Trending takes on the terrible video with some great Twitter responses
6. Eddy Burback reacts to everything terrible about Nicole Arbor

I'm done with this racist waste of space. She's so infuriating. She has zero awareness of anything that won't make her money and advance her causes, and now we know that one of those causes is being white and rich. Greaaaaat. She fits right in in Trump's America. She has the perfect amount of empathy and understanding for the rebranded white nationalist movement, which is none.



In the meantime, found another example of shopping naked, where I stood in the sim for a good twenty minutes hoping for everything to rez in. If the mesh she was wearing--hair, outfit, shoes, whatever--hasn't shown up in that time, there's definitely a larger issue, but still, some responsibility has to land on the avatars in question, for being overscripted, overprimmed, and hey, I'll say it, overmeshed.



ANY AVATAR, or, hey, I'll even temporize and say ANY HUMANOID AVATAR, can pull a good look together for 60K AC or less. It can be done, I do it every day. I don't see why people feel bound to run through the grid clocking more than 120K. Of course they're going to have rezzing issues. Come on.
