  • ...another aspect of xanga's social dynamics...


    It seems like maybe xanga's abyss went a little off the deep end. 


    Well, at least she warns you.  Actually, she's not the first, nor will she be the last to sport a penis on her page.  No, I can't personally claim the fame, but Gudkarma can, several years (already) ago.   I was then much offended by his portrayal because it was self-flaunting, instead of a third-party portrayal.  But does it really make a difference? 


    The fact that abyss got such a pic in her email shouldn't be shocking.  After all, she is virtually soliciting such.  And the fact that xangans have shared such revealing pics of themselves with other xangans  might seem too commonplace to mention.  But I only mention it because while it used to be less than rarely common for me personally to get such incoming (from the opposite sex), it's been a long, long while since such attention has been made manifest.   And that, in itself, led me over the past year to ponder: 1) Had  I become less appealing?  2) Had the girls become less revealing?  3) Or had xanga itself tended to mute such eye-candy spinoffs by a) cleaning up the act, or b) becoming vastly huger and thus more anonymously and suffusingly unintimate?


    I was beginning to think the latter (3b), but if abyss can wrangle such so readily then there's surely no hope for that--or hope--depending on your own outlook.  In any case, if it ain't a case of xanga transforming the dynamics, then that must mean 1) or 2) ??


    Please tell me it's 2).  Please tell me it's 2)
