If you read profiles of people you may run across this line a lot: “I hate Drama, Keep it away from me”. What is this Drama they are talking about that is so abhorrent that they have to issue statements to ward off its evil forces?
Going to the dictionary turns up this definition – “an episode that is turbulent or highly emotional”. Well that certainly sums up a lot of the interaction that is going on in and around the club. Let’s face it, after a person has been in Second Life for a bit and seen and done pretty much everything that can be done what is left for amusement? Some people become content creators and spend their hours buried in Photoshop turning out cartoon underwear. Others find some form of employment to generate funds to satisfy their blood lust for the latest SL fashion. Some join a Roleplay Community like the bisexual kamikaze vampire wombats and become lost in a world which most of the human race cannot relate to. And then there are those who specialize in entertainment through Drama creation.
These shrieking harpies – don’t get me wrong there are plenty of men involved in this as well – can turn even the most trivial encounter into high drama in seconds. They have state of the art drama creation devices like Emerald “Who has a cross hair on my Boyfriend Radar” or an evil titler which they use with deft skill to create an atmosphere of charged tension that they feed off of.
“Hey, stop looking at my boyfriend’s ass you whore”
“Excuse me? I was AFK pulling laundry out of the dryer”
“I will hunt you down across the grid and cut off your bewbies with a rusty butter knife if you keep looking at my boyfriend you slut!”
“Please I just came here to dance and listen to music!”
“And to steal my boyfriend you skanky streetwalker!”
This exchange of course erupts into a full blown dance floor brouhaha that usually results in one or more of the parties beginning their long descent into the Ambrosia Ocean below the club. The drama queen has been entertained. Mission Accomplished.
There was this episode of Star Trek where the crew of the Enterprise and some Klingons were fighting each other for control of the ship. People would be stabbed and then miraculously heal to continue fighting. It turned out that a malevolent entity was aboard the ship that fed off the emotions of evil fighting and had created a situation that could satisfy this need in perpetuity.
Of course, Captain Kirk figured this out and made a truce with the Klingon Commander and they all laughed at the evil alien until it fled into the void of space. Without the drama it had no purpose. See, you can learn a lot about life by watching old episodes of Star Trek!
So, ignore the drama! Hit that mute button. Laugh at it. Just whatever you do, don’t feed it. It has an appetite with no end.
