“Music produces a kind of
pleasure which human nature cannot do without.”
It has been brought to SLE’s attention that an SL
Musician has been at verbal war via Facebook over a comment he made in regards
to karaoke singers in Second Life. Freedom of expression is what allows us to
speak our minds, particularly on social networks with today’s technology while
receiving instant feedback. The only problem is in doing so, it opens the flood
gates for others to voice their own opinions and ideas in agreement or against
the comments being made.
This particular
incident has caused a verbal war of words between some musicians, Karaoke
talents and fans alike who share the same entertainment circuit in the virtual
world.
This type of social media friction is threatening what
was once a thriving community of various talent who once supported each other
in the name of music. Now it seems virtual rock-stardom has gotten to some
heads and have shot up their ego way beyond
the atmosphere of rational virtual thinking. Could relationships between
entertainers be resolved or will this feud continue and cause a collapse of
support for SL music entertainment? Let’s not forget the fans as they are the ones
who will ultimately decide.
