For Or Against?

Ever since I created this very blog, all I've been doing is complain, whine and yammer on about how Stardoll unfairly treats its members.

It's partly true. And while those of us who pay for all the "perks" of being a virtual Superstar have a right to demand to be treated properly, those who are desperate for the fame, fashion and friends a Superstar membership can provide yet opt not to give away their precious moolah (I applaud you.), are usually the ones that react for supposedly being treated in an unjust manner.

Years ago, before Stardoll started to universally treat us like shit -with occasional flashes of faux generosity- non-Superstars had a lot to complain, whine and yammer on about. While Superstar members had access to exclusive features, such as more rooms for their Suites and stores such as LE and Antidote, non-Superstars were forced to contend themselves with only a small part of the goods available at Starplaza, and, in general, considerably less "perks".

I used to think of it as a very unfair discrimination on Stardoll's part, as the idea that Superstars deserve more reinforces the perception that Superstars should treat their inferiors like shit. And while this kind of behavior is condemnable, as the amount of your virtual cash doesn't doesn't define what kind of person you are, non-Superstars have no right to carp and nutter.

As I mentioned above, Superstars pay for all the virtual perks they get, thus deserving them, while their "inferiors" enjoy free membership, the fun of playing Stardoll games, and socializing like everyone else. Even the hostile behavior towards non-Superstars isn't a direct result of Stardoll's injustice. It is usually caused by gawky comments made by, seemingly, fools. Or simply people with too much time on their hands, who simply crave for attention or just forget that behind a well-groomed doll is a person like them.

You know, with feelings and all.
