Second Life

This article reminded me of the “Just Like Me Only Better” article. This articled talked about second life in the online world. It focused on gender roles and how people want their avatars to look like they wished they looked like in real life. It reminded me of the “Just Like Me Only Better” article because most of the people in the online world made themselves look more attractive. They compared it to gender stereotypes because men made themselves tall and muscular, while women made themselves have bigger breasts with small skinny bodies.  Society has told us that looking like this is the only way for you to feel good about yourself. People are too judgmental and only care about what people look like on the outside before they get to know them. By creating more attractive avatars, you are able to feel like you fit in this online world.
