In saying this I mean that while playing Second Life (SL) you are around real people that are also sitting behind there computer screens and chatting with you either via voice or text and therefore SL is a social game. So here is what I have to ask. Why are there so many people on SL that claim to be antisocial when by default they are being social because they are talking to people while playing a game? Why do these people that define themselves as being antisocial able to be social by playing a game? Is it because the game itself takes away the social stigma that they feel while being out in public? The whole thing confuses me. I can understand that second life makes being around others a bit easier because you are not actually close to them, for all you know they could be on the other side of the globe. So I suppose that not having the people in the same room with you could make you feel a bit less uneasy. Either way I think that SL is amazing because it allows people to come together as one huge online community and congregate and enjoy each others company.
Something amazing that I have witnessed due to SL would have to be how the game allowed a mute person to speak through text to those around her. I found it to be quite inspiring.
I love SL and how it brings us all together <3
