Now as I recall, when Minnu's skins were similarly ripped off with copybot, Tenshi had far less "evidence" and blogged it. This resulted in the entire community not only boycotting the store but filling the sim so that customers could not get in and holding signs outside the store sayign the proprietor was a thief. Minnu went on to proclaim that she would not produce more skins until LL did something about this problem. Many people wrote LL to complain and I believe there was an anti-theft campaign started with signs informing customers of participating shops that they shouldn't steal... am I right?
So a fraction of the action has happened to Minnu (her sim is, reportedly, empty) when Tenshi helped her. And not one person told Tenshi she shouldn't have blogged it until the guy was proven innocent. Less "proof" was presented then. Minnu sure didn't keep quiet back then. And the 'thief' was also approached for a statement.
But now Tenshi's bad and wrong and Minnu is right to keep quiet?
Whats up with the double standard here? |
I think this actually highlights the problem. I certainly would not condone the action Minnu or the mob took above just as I don't condone what is happening now. I really do think that until there is clear and definate proof then people have a right to innocence until proven guilty.
Should Minnu be proved guilty of the charges, the very fact that s/he was a vocal and prominent participant in the 'outing method' gives the whole thing even less credibility as a method for change in my opinion.
I don't think it is a case of Ten being 'bad or wrong'. My point is that it is the 'method' that is most definately both bad and wrong.
