In second life we can
pretty much be whatever we want to be. From hair color to height, or not even
human should we wish to delve into a fantasy look; the power to create an
avatar as we want leaves many possibilities open.
In this article I asked men what they think of
oversized hips, boobs and butts. Either you love em or hate em, we all have a
say on it. I felt a good starting point would be to ask my own RL/SL husband
Dragonmaster Mistwalker.
Becca Drascol: What
do you think of oversized hips, boobs and butts on avies?
DragonMaster Mistwalker: Big tits are nice to a point but after a
certain size it’s ridiculous and gross. As for big hips they’re nice but after
a certain hip size it’s just gross. I am an admitted ass man but an oversized
ass is just gross.
Next I asked a male
friend Ron, his opinion. While a strong opinion it was also a well thought out
one with a bit of humor involved as well.
Becca Drascol: What do
you think of oversized hips, boobs and butts on avies?
Ronmon Resident: Absolutely horrid. They look unproportionate,
tacky, and just appalling. The boobs I can kind of understand however with so many adult industries using girls that
are unnaturally large. The butts, just no, it's never good to say, "Hey
look at this chick, she has Jupiter and Saturn in her pants." And the
hips, why would you want hips that are so large you can’t fit through most
doors in SL?
Again, just tacky. When creators of these obscenely
large avies are doing their work, they can’t be taking themselves seriously.
Next I hopped around to
a few sims to get more opinions.
Becca Drascol: What do
you think of oversized hips, boobs and butts on avies?
ApolloPhaetons Resident: My favorite is oversized asses. I like
full figured in general, not stick women lol. But also don’t like giant size
either.
Becca Drascol: So
basically your opinion is shapely but too big is too much?
ApolloPhaetons Resident: Yes.
Becca Drascol: What do
you think of oversized hips, boobs and butts on avies?
Antobas Tiponi: I don’t like too much, like in RL.
Antobas Tiponi: too much is too much.
Becca Drascol: What do
you think of oversized hips, boobs and butts on avies?
Serph Albion: I personally don't like it. Big front, butt
and toothpick waist don't go together. To
me, it's about proportion. It has to look good. I get that there are people who
are into inflation but that's the whole body, unless they only like inflation
in specific parts. I'm an ass man and even I can say sometimes on SL I'll be
like "No dayum on dat ass...That is one ass....I will pass." because
it's so big.

Body Image or
Trendsetting:
Of those I asked the
overall opinion is a no. And yet we know there are those out there who love and
adore the oversized look. Rather it be a trend or a way to invent one's self,
there are many an "oversized avie" within Second Life. I feel
everyone wants to be exactly how they wish and SL leaves the doors of
creativity wide open.
In SL we’re given
a palate to paint. We can play God with our avatar and make him/her or they,
whatever the mind can think of. To some a classic look may be
fitting, to another it’s all about living a fantasy via our virtual world. So
even if those I polled feel the oversized avie is not as appealing, there will
always be a bigger than big bottom or a large bust out there in Sl and there
will always be one opinion or another of them.
Be it a body image or a
trendsetting oversized has its place in Second life. What do you think? Use the
