An Open Letter to the Simblr Community
First of all, I don't know why I am doing this at four in the morning. I woke up with a mouse like sound tapping on my basement window. Good news is, it stopped when I turned my lights on.
Anyway, I want to thank every single one of you who use Tumblr for your creative outlets for your Sims. Not being as active as I would like to be, I am quite proud to be part of such a community who celebrate and embrace such diversities and flaws. Yes, flaws. More and more, I see tons of flawed Sims on my dashboard. It's like, the more unique and flawed the Sim is, the better. This is a good thing. And I only wish everyone in real life was this embracing to each other's flaws and uniqueness.
I have always felt that The Sims was a reflection of what we wanted in real life. Big houses, cute spouses, fancy clothes, education and jobs we cannot afford to invest in, etc. But lately, we, as a community, have been able to see through beyond the material things. We are more aware of each others diversity in The Sims. And the fact that we are doing this is a positive reflection of each of us. The double to triple digit number of notes on a post which has a Sim that is perceived by the society as ugly or flawed, shows that we are embracing of one another one way or another, in real life or not. For that I thank you, Simblr, for taking a step towards acceptance no matter the colour, weight, flaw, or feature each of our Sims have. And I only hope that we are every bit that accepting in real life.
Please continue to embrace and respect each other no matter how everyone looks, because this is a huge step for our society today.
