Dear Courtney
I am disappoinyed to see avatars being sexualised to gain increased viewers.
As you say, results are scientific but the latest Solo avatar was extremely sexualised. Why?
Its insulting to women, well at least some women, me.
If you remember right, Courtney did say the RV'er picks out their own avatar. She is a beautiful person and she is flamboyant, not at all reminiscent of a conservative person who looks at what she wears or looks at her and say she is not 'professional' or shouldn't be allowed to look so odd, or so sexy cuz it seems to trigger folks to be judgey and opinionated, surely you wouldn't want to tell her which avatar to pick or which clothes to wear that would be 'suitable' for you to focus on what she said and not so much how 'sexy and unprofessional' she looks or her avatar.
This is a human social judgement on her, happens everytime she expresses herself with some type of costume or animal ears etc.....just pay attention to what she says and try to remember this is what SHE picked, this isn't on Courtney. It's not some traditional scientific organization that requires 'uniforms' like white coats etc. I think it's cool what ever she picks to express herself. There's always one or two people that chime in and miss the whole thing because they can't control their oppressed judgemental opinions.
Next time you all feel like judging and being 'disappointed' cuz they didn't do it how you feel is the right way, wearing the clothes you feel is serious and not distracting you....try closing your eyes and just listen if you can't look at it without having an opinion of what someone else is wearing or not wearing so you can take them seriously.....for you in your mind.
Thankyou Courtney for your explanation. Good to hear that Yeme Jeaneé chose her avatar, her creative choice.
