My last post about the Nipplegate: I am
September 2, 2007 by London Spengler
I am a jester. And a jester duty is to show the truth to kings and warriors, usually by making a mess of themselves; when I wrote that phrase I was trying to show support, and to make a kind of joke… Maybe I should had wrote “let’s give it a hearthy laugh” instead.
Yes, censure is always awfull, but why only about art? What is art? Isn’t life artfull? When you fight for stone nipples, why do you forget your “real” ones? Why do you let it pass when they got cutted in skin reviews, for example?
As I have readed, the statue author took it pretty well, in a conciliatory way, even after it got broken and he had to repair it… but there is little about it, and a lot about the “evil” enforcement of a stated politic… no nakedness on PG sims. And yes, a statue isn’t “naughty” nakedness, but so aren’t avatars for me, not usually, at least.
When I asked for your nipples, I asked you to relax, to get another perspective. To laugh.
Some of you got it, and had fun, showing or not showing them, because I asked of for they own motives… Laetitia, DesertWolf, Vint, Dalien, Timothy…. thanks to you all.
Others showed their nipples, by compromise, but the joke was lost for them… and it is sad. Of course, it is part of a jester’s life, failure to comunicate happier ways of living… in a world of stone-faced, tight-fisted warriors.
I am a sensualist. I enjoy naked bodies, and naked emotions, when they are positive. I’ve never understood why work is so respectable and fun secundary. Why rightfull, pained anger is all right, but sex is dirty. When I teach, I try everybody to enjoy my classes. When I write, I try everybody to enjoy themselves. When I live, I try, really try, to live.
Yes, my blog was much quieter and commertial at first, and it has evolved in a naughtier way… and as the tone changed, I felt that I was mainly tolerated and sometimes rejected, and sometimes supported. And yes, I love the support (even the drool, if it is done nicely :-p), but I am not a fame chaser, or a reader chaser.
I am clumsy. Yes, sometimes I go too far, or are socially clumsy, or forget other people’s sensibility, but some of them keep noticing the nipples and forgetting the associated text and apologices; that’s why I am so wary of rightfull anger, it doesn’t usually stop to know all the facts, to find a common ground. I know it, I am good at anger myself.
I try not so write so much, and I cannot stop, the keyboard calls me, keeps me thinking about posts, about things I need to say… and as time passes, my need to defend nakedness and love and sex becomes more and more extreme; probably I’ll end as a stonefaced, tightfisted creature, too.
There is a hole in our lifes for sane, clean naughtiness. There is a need to touch the people’s small needs, and forget about the big ones. I will not fill if, of course, but at least I can try to make it noticed.
I am on holidays. Yes, four days away, but the friday I’ll be back with a new section (Faerie Hax will be the first victim), and the removal of the dejected one about tutorials… I am sorry, but there is better people around to teach animations and scripting, and I don’t have time for it anyway.
I am sad and tired. Please, while I am away find something nice, enjoy and talk about it, and give this old and tired jester a motive to smile.


Mew… London, you always have reason to smile. ::Nods.:: You have at least three, and I could count more. ::Giggles softly, and crawls up into her lap to give her lots of little kisses.::
