[Rant] Being Ruthed Is The New Black

I know what you are thinking, what the hell is this girl smoking? Being ruthed is not sexy, it’s awful, disgusting, gross and unstylish. Well let me tell you, it is sexy.

And here are my reasons why…

Every since I’ve been in Second Life, being ruth is something completely undesirable  because you will have the stupid body, the linden hair and godawful big feet that just go through your delicate size 0 shoes. But let’s think about it, that’s where we all come from.

Being ruth is like being part of nature (SL nature), and who are we to say that being au naturelle is such a bad thing?

In light of the recent screw ups in-world, I’ve realized that you will be ruthed no matter how you go about things. There will be times when you can’t see yourself ruth and you hear from someone else that you are, so.. what does that tell you? To shy away from your beginnings or embrace it?

There are de-ruthers out there. Tons actually, I am guessing it’s really big business somewhere in the SL world. But if we are all ruth, what is the whole point of de-ruthing? Or are we all just superficial avatars who want to be as good looking as we can all the time, all the way?

Now here is my reasons while I might not LIKE being ruthed, it isn’t exactly a bad thing:

1. Being ruth makes you stand out in the crowd. More unique = more attention
(because I am such an attention whore *rolls eyes*)
2. Seeing someone ruth lets you reminisce on your newbie days when you had that linden hair and ginormous feet and go all googly eye about how hawt you were (yes hawt, not hot. DO NOT CORRECT ME!)
3. Shit. If I was ruth and I can’t do anything about it, why not embrace it? If you hate it, people will just see you hate it and laugh at you even more. Embracing it makes you more funnier, more sociable and absolutely charming (even with the linden hair)

So tell me what you think? Do you hate being ruthed?
