http://queenbratbracken.com A blog from QueenBrat about modeling and SL Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:04:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ http://queenbratbracken.com/2009/11/15/race-in-sl/#comment-4 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 02:04:54 +0000 http://queenbratbracken.com/?p=126#comment-4 I agree that there are a lot of great avatars with dark skin. I wish they had come to the audition. I would have no problem with not being picked for the show because they wanted authenticity. My normal avatar couldn’t be much paler, so I agree it might be off putting to some. People can wear whatever skin tone they want and it’s perfectly fine. What I have a problem with is the bias. I have put on some awful skins for a show so I just don’t understand people refusing to put on a beautiful darker skin. As models we can wear some truly awful looking stuff but not a beautiful skin because our bias enters into it then? No, that makes me sad.

I don’t have issues with whatever tone people choose to wear, I stay in darker skins most of the time myself. I do find it off putting to see typically white avatars in dark skins for shows but that’s just because I think there are a lot of very good avatars who are typically dark that don’t get looked at in those cases. That’s a me thing I know though lol.
